TV Series

[Mr. Wednesday]

I loved the expanse. It needed another series to cover off the end tho. The last series was too rushed and too many random dangling story arcs ( the dogs etc )

Yeah, I'm making my way through the books now (just finished the first one) so looking forward to the whole story, though I think they ended the show pretty well if you haven't read all the books. Was definitely an element of wrapping things up quickly in the final season though.
I think the company (Alcon?) who have rights to the property have future plans for the final books but what format that will take hasn't been decided.
One of the writers (Ty Franck) does a podcast called Ty and That Guy with Wes Chatham (Amos from the show) and it's recommended listening if you're a fan.

Similar for me, was shockingly funny but after about an hour or so it started to become a tad repetitive for me, wasn't it on for over 2 hours? Far too long.
Didn't help that I didn't know who the fuck most of them were.

Think it's 3 hours long and you're exactly right. Started to repeat itself so I skipped forward to a few bits I'd seen online.

Just googled him, apparently he doesn’t like football (so he must be a rag!)

Coogan is from a family of Rags in Alkrington just around the corner from where I grew up. He is on the record as saying that he has no interest in football but if pushed would say he is a Rag due to his family’s affiliations.

I’ve enjoyed his comedy over the years, and given I associate the rags with comedy I forgive him

Legends. Was really looking forward to it but managed only one and a half episodes.

Just didn't seem to have a sense of realism to me which is what good drama should be based on.

Yes, I’ve heard of The Americans and it has good write ups so if The Expanse doesn’t work out I think I’ll go for The Americans. Cheers for the heads up.

Yes, I’ve watched Mr Robot a few years ago. Agree it is good.

The Americans not to be missed, excellent series, highly recommended

That’s been generous…..Kelly Reilly makes it watchable

I really enjoyed it, especially Coogan’s cynical old character.

The Cage wasn’t to bad

I really enjoyed it, especially Coogan’s cynical old character.

Me too. I think he learnt alot from Oldman in Slow Horses

CSI Miami 5 series in and another 5 to go I believe, puts sunglasses on and leaves thread.

Has its ups and downs, but as said above, stick with it and it does get good.

Another vote for legends on Netflix, watched 3 episodes last night really enjoyed it going to watch the 3 remaining episodes tonight.

Watched the first 2. Worth it for the sound track alone.

Just watched Punisher: One Last Kill.
Didn't think much of it to be honest.
