The Rookie season 2 is as good as the first an easy entertaining watch

 

[BimboBob]

Even better than the first.

Just watched it again with the missus who, although not a star wars fan, loved it.

 

[urban genie]

Just watched second series of.the end of the fucking world.

Again a very good watch.

So, can anyone tell me what 'The Mandalorian' is about, so far?

Small bites of good stuff doesn't amount to a story...

A brand new series called The War of the Worlds is on BBC1 tonight. Just watched the trailer it might be worth a watch.

Bounty Hunter gets a strange boounty request, which turns out to be a much-sought after (apparently) creature from Yoda's race.

Beforeigners is good it's about people popping up from the past through temporal portals in Sweden, subtitled but worth it.

I get that with the simplistic story line.

But, it just seems... empty. It looks great. It's got all the elements of the classic visually.

It feels like it's all fillers and no substance. But when a show is less than 30 mins, what can you ask for?

How does a show like 'Rick and Morty' manage it...?

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Just finished watching Better call Saul on Netflix,love Bob Odenkirk and John Banks,excellent scriptwriting and character exploration with a strong believable story set in some remote locations in New Mexico.

I tried Guilty from BBC Scotland/BBC2 the other night on a recommendation, but have to admit after half an hour of episode 1 i'd lost the will.
Has anybody stuck with it? Apparently 3 of the 4 episodes have been shown so far

So you have seen it? Or not?

It's a story of a bounty hunter set in the star wars universe a few years after the return of the Jedi.

It's well acted, looks great, has the right amount of lore and feels "right".

It's very enjoyable.

 

[BimboBob]

And it's 40 minutes or so. Not less than 30 minutes.

What makes you think I've not seen it when I've described it?

Are you aware these episodes cost $10mil per?

Does it look like it?

Possibly, but where's the storyline apart from flashbacks?

Oooh laaaa! Scouse martians.

And it's 40 minutes or so. Not less than 30 minutes.

I have ep2 which lasts 29 mins 56 secs.

Some of that is taken up with story recounts and credit ending!

So, I'm actually being generous!!

This post led me to believe you hadn't seen it.

Now you have. And you don't get it. All fine and dandy. I don't get the Avengers films. Each to their own.

Oh...32 minutes listed length. I know this includes fluff.

I'd stick to fat arses and films about a man made of iron, a boy bitten by a spider and a bloke who can fire arrows really fast.


Proper story telling.
