Knowing the capstone, would you recommend anyone to watch the GoT series?

Yes, although, a lot of the fun throughout was being able to discuss "whos going to die next" etc with friends and colleagues who hadn't read the books (I haven't read them yet).

Yes, but stop at the end of Season 5. Pretend 6 7 8 never happened.

I tried watching Chernobyl last night. I found the English accents too distracting and I was waiting for someone to say something like Oi, you 'aving a laugh or sumfing mate?

The flip-side might have been worse of course (or maybe hilarious) if they were trying their best to sound Russian/Ukranian. Maybe it should have just had subtitles.

In the end it was the means of delivery that ruined it. Sky On Demand inexplicably dropped the download twice and the second time I couldn't be bothered any more.

It's Terry Gilliam-esque with Japanese/Norwegian style. It's funny, disturbing, violent, and trippy.

Watch it.

The Witcher TV Series

Synopsis:

The solitary monster hunter struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. When destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.

Jesus Christ that sounds terrible!

Maybe it's intentionally mundane to catch unfamiliar people out, then the show plunges in deep catching everyone off guard, so everyone's talking about it.

Right? Surely? Please?

Apparently they started production with the cast doing generic russian accents and it didn’t work.

Started on this last night and I’m fucking hooked.

While the synopsis is absolutely fantasy trope central, I've got high hopes if they're true to the source material. Big fan of the books and the games.

Do you feel comforted by the lessons we've learnt about dysfunctional government, surely never to be repeated again?

I watched the first four seasons out of order, depending on which one I felt like,
but I'm sure most of S4 was a bit down hill when it moved to US.

I dunno. Season one was fantastic, Season two (at 8 episodes in) is absolute crap, very disappointed.

If that is the direction they are heading then cancel the show TBH.

I haven't seen season 2 yet.

At first I was unsure about the show: Script was terrible and lacked subtext, plot non-existent, acting too stiff or too hammy. Then I realised that IS the show and it was a blast.

Hard to see how they could fuck that up, but I guess I'll find out

I thought FtWD got off to a good start this week. Max Headroom looks interesting. And the roadblock was nice and edgy. I wonder how much time has passed since last season, and how much of a time jump they will do to catch up with TWD.

I Am Mother.

I might have to re-watch. Big spoiler if you do the maths at the start. Still wondering if titular character was evil or just really good at teaching about ethics and eugenics.

Recommendation: The Chernobyl Podcast

sorta the tv show equivalent of a DVD director's commentary track. Interview with the creator and writer, split into 5 episodes that correspond with the 5 episodes of the show. Lots of interesting info, ranging from how realistic they got when they could ("all the costumes are made with Soviet-era cloth that we tracked down in old warehouses") to the things they did deliberately inaccurately for dramatic purposes ("that guy was never there and never said those words, but the audience would have been lost if we didn't have that scene")

I am Mother was garbage. It felt like a procedurally generated movie stitched together from a thousand exhausted sci-fi tropes.

Years and Years, anyone? I like Russell T. Davies and the cast is all the usual faces.

Also, The Umbrella Academy on Netflix, enjoying. Sorta X-Men meets Watchmen meets 12 Monkeys.

If so, then yeah that was a phenomenal episode.

I'm sure there was a post about Good Omens somewhere, can't spot it.

I read it in early high school. The show was so well done I got deja vu. If I didn't know the show had just come out I would have assumed I had seen it before.

Quotes like "Awa' wi' ye, ye murrain plashed berrizene" made me realise how much I miss Pratchett.

Boys. Do you think Karl Urban can stick to an accent? I'll watch Anthony Starr in anything and the comic wasn't terrible. So far a couple in it'll keep me watching for a bit.
