All the way through it I was in awe of Bateman’s acting. I think he’s top drawer.

He's a highly regarded Director too, recognised with an Emmy for directing episodes of Ozark.

The English Game. Fucking colossal.

I think about 60% of us did exactly the same thing. Found it impossible to take it seriously despite some good stuff. Too procedural for a horror, not believable enough for a procedural.

Anyway. Westworld Series 2, episode 2, damn, they've only gone and JJ'd it. Felt more like a Trailer for Westworld series 3 rather than the real thing. Massive budget, fast moving, change scenery every 5 minutes. Dreadful dialogue, really can't escape the building sense of naffness about the whole thing. Series 2 was okay for me because despite being a bit boring and confusing, at least they kept the pacing, used the violence sparingly for horrific effect, kept it all wierd and obscure, and mostly let us enjoy the actors. One thing I'll say contributed to the impression of this series not being particularly original was instantly recognising half of the locations, definitely greatest hits of film locations of recent years. The Italian village had even been used in a flipping video game, it's that well known.

I actually really liked series 2 of 'WW'.

Once I got used to some of the timeline jumps, it was quite nice to work out who was in control of whom and when what was happening. The characters did dialogue like the watcher was playing catch up, but I found that fun.

Very ambitious, but I like that sort of thought when it's done well.

Watched the first 3 (of 6) eps of the 2nd series of Save Me starring Lennie James. So far so good and if you enjoyed the 1st series then you should like this one too.

The English Game. Fucking colossal.

Fucking not.

Acting poor
Directing poor
Inaccurate including key facts especially tactics used..

Wasted opportunity

At the risk of making myself a laughing stock, I just started watching Schitts creek and it's piss funny. Only seen two episodes so that's my excuse if it's total shit.
