I am buzzed each week for a new episode of Shogun at the moment.

Disney+ and highly recommended.

Started this last week, it’s great! Demands a fair bit of concentration, what with most of the dialogue being in Japanese. The guy who plays Toranaga is so good.

I've been really impressed.
Was worried it would fall off later on through the series, but it's getting better by each episode imo.

Yeah, he's really good. Was also in The Last Samurai, which has a really similar plot to Shogun. Not sure if it's loosely based on the same book

Finished S2 of Kin, would be a shame if a 3rd series doesn't happen. Special Ops Lioness, was really good, enjoyed that a lot.

Good to hear. When I read Amazon were doing a TV adaptation, I was expecting the worst. Especially after what they did to Lord of the Rings.
The trailer does look interesting though and very on-brand, will give it a watch over the weekend

Did anyone spot the funny doppelganger in the recent episode? Wrexham and Always Sunny's Mac picked it up on Twitter:

Civil War.
Superb. The cinematography, the score, the acting.
As usual these days, the third act is slightly disappointing.
Lovely film all told. Was not at all what I was expecting.

Thought it was great. Bleak as fuck. Agreed the score was fantastic.

Just finished the second episode and have to say I am enjoying it.

Have to try and pace myself and not binge all at once.

 

[pitts head]

Oppenheimer what a bag of shit.
How did this win 7 oscars?
Can't hear the dialogue as the music drowns out the conversations.

Yeah, I am the same........not.

I watched all 8 episodes over two days.

 

[shmmeee]

Watched the first episode of Fallout, looks good and I’ve never played the games, though I know a bit of the lore.

Watched all of 3 Body Problem, didn’t realise it ended part way through the story! Should I buy the books as S2 hasn’t even been green lit yet.

 

[dutchman]

Fallout is stupid beyond belief but the music and visual effects are very good.

Fallout is stupid beyond belief but the music and visual effects are very good.

In what way, stupid?

Much of it is supposed to be humorous.

 

[dutchman]

Some of it is and some of it isn't. It's neither one thing nor the other.

It's a mixture of both.

I fell asleep, it was just boring!!

 

[JAM See]

Just been to see Monkey Man.

Basically it's John Wick Patel.

Really well done, not as visceral as Civil War (the other picture I've seen this week), but overall a decent watch.

Did you watch it on the telly?

I went to the picture house to watch it.
Thought it was wonderful.

Oppenheimer what a bag of shit.

Can't hear the dialogue as the music drowns out the conversations.

Said exactly the same thing about the music drowning out the dialogue, while leaving the cinema. Could’ve been two hours shorter, thought it was dull as fuck and easily Nolan’s worst.

 

[Tommo1993]

Unsure if I’ll bother with Fallout, really didn’t get along with the game.

 

[pitts head]

Did you watch it on the telly?

Yes I did.
I watched 2 films on the same day both on the telly.
Ghostbusters afterlife to me was more enjoyable than Oppenheimer.

I have never played the game but having watched 2 episodes it's okay. I will watch the rest of the series.

I never played the game. Loved the TV adaptation though.

Reviews are fab.

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah I’ve always seen the game at a bottle cap collector (cos that’s what everyone I see playing it spends their time doing). But enjoying the show.

 

[Nick]

Watching gang land undercover, based on a true story under cover in a biker gang. Decent.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Mammoth , Welsh comedy starring Mike bubbins . About a Welsh teacher in the 1979s who gets trapped in an avalanche and is brought back to life . It’s pretty funny

I'm halfway through and really liking it so far.
Think it definitely helps if you're familiar with the games as you can appreciate the constant little nods to the game that are in each episode.

Also didn't expect to hear Matt Berry in that ghoul episode!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Baby Reindeer on Netflix is interesting, troubling and dark! 7 episodes of about 30 mins each. Based on a true story which makes it all the more worrying!
Don't bother with Love Rat on C5. Weak!

 

[MidnightVoyager]

House of the Dragon

Up to episode 7.
Walton Goggins really puts me in mind of Jack Nicholson in Chinatown.

Never played the game but think Walton Goggins is great in whatever role he plays

Can a non player watch the series ?

Yeah, just finished it. Really liked it, but it does seem to flicker between styles a little awkwardly at times, but definitely worth watching, simply because it's a true story.
