TV Series

Finally watched Taboo with Tom Hardy and co. Great cast. Good series. The last episode went a bit A-Team. I hear the second series films in 2023, after a 6 year gap. Something to look forward to

Watched it when first was on the bbc can’t believe it was 6 years ago?! At the time thought it was good but not brilliant, I’d have to rewatch it to catch be the second season..

Didnt bother with s3 as just seemed to totally lose its way after s2. Felt like it had no idea where it was heading and amazed its made it to a 4th series.

For me it's the biggest letdown in TV, ever. Season 1 is absolutely amazing. The next 2 are fucking abysmal. Won't be watching the 4th

I’ve rewatched season 1 and 2 have to say it’s much much better after a second watch I’ll be watching season 3 later
 
God I'm enjoying the Leftovers (and the first season is supposedly the weakest).
Seems to have a bit of all the best TV in one and then some more.

Damon Lindelof the creator (no relation to Tyler) was also being the Watchmen which I also thought was incredible, brilliant and unusual.

Was going to say something along those lines yesterday. Personally I found it quite gruelling, tough stuff. But it had quite an effect on me.

Yeah I can see why.
It's quite rare for television. There's some brilliant stuff out there but only a few that manage to really get under your skin and this is one of them (even though early days for me).

I've opened up to the fact there's little I can really control and instead best to surf the chaos of life and any meaning to our existence. I think this show explores that really well.

I loved The Leftovers, and the theme music too which changed each season. It's so messed up at times but is brilliant tv. I think after Lost, people were wary about how Lindelof was going to conclude the show but I think he did a pretty satisfying job here.

I’d read about the concept but dodged the watching of it - having heard your recommendations, and having read the reviews, I’ll give a go now. Thanks
 
Finally got round to watching the responder and not only is it rife with scouse accents and god damn it’s depressing. Not sure I can cope with much more of it.
 
Over the last few days we have just done a re-run of this series. An unsettling and intracate journey inside genocide you could ever wish to watch.

Exterminate All the Brutes



“The very existence of this film is a miracle,” says its creator, Raul Peck in the final episode of Exterminate All the Brutes—and that might be an understatement. A four-part experimental documentary that takes on the unwieldy, bitterly contentious subject of white supremacy since the so-called Age of Discovery, Brutes is unorthodox in both content and style. Drawing heavily on the work of leftist academics, the series also incorporates scripted passages and animations that serve as guided meditations on human suffering more than as visual aids. It may well be the most politically radical and intellectually challenging work of nonfiction ever made for television.

Just finished 'The Lazarus Project' and quite enjoyed it. Wouldn't really say it was great and nowhere near as good as say 'Dark', but it was easy watching and enjoyable. Hopefully they do a series 2 but kind of get the feeling it will drift aimlessly in the way many of these type series do. Fingers crossed for it as has good potential.

Just watched the first episode. The acting is bloody horrendous.
