I just watched episode 1 and thought it was shite. A snail has a faster pace. And yes, you'd do terrible things to Amy Adams. I might start season 7 of Game of Thrones now.
 
Sharp Objects was mustard. It is slow, but its all about the mood, the southern Gothic atmosphere - yeah there's a murder mystery going on, but its as much about Amy Adam's character, her past, her self harm and her state of mind - you have to approach it that way, as something to immerse yourself in, rather than just, 'show my the plot/what happen's next' etc.

Just watched the last Keeping Faith - talk about infuriating endings - ridiculous.
 
3 episodes in of Sharp objects my god they don’t want to rush the story line do they and the back and forth in history they didn’t have to do they could of started of showing the past and what happened! It seems they trying to be to clever for there own good. Started it now so watch to the end to know the outcome. The ratings are very high though.
 
Now on ep 6. Binge session. I’m invested now but it’s still hard work.

I’m now officially old though. My teenage crush Elizabeth Perkins from BIG (best film ever) has turned into a non Gilf. Sad face

Yeah kind of thought I’d watched most of it so I’ll see it through but it was pretty bobbins.

Sorry but that is absolute shit. The most smug thing I’ve ever seen (ohh look at me I’m being a bit edgy and out there) Fucking garbage.
 
Keeping Faith, shockingly bad. Dont bother. Slow, confused, up its own arse, illogical and plain daft. Felt like an extended 80s mtv music video with all the arty shots.
 
Er no. I just like stuff that doesn’t try too hard. This was a prime example of that, that miraculously managed to spin that self indulgent shit out for 8 episodes. Blue hammer85 shitting himself at the final credits was worth it though. Typical post 96er

I’m assuming you’re writing about Sharp Objects there, rather than my post? Anyway, apology accepted.

For me it’s all about how you approach a show & your expectations. For example I knew the book, and judging by the tone of what you’ve written I’m guessing you didn’t, so I knew to some degree what to expect. The way the director created a unsettled mood, an atmosphere of uncertainty, was really well done. Nice to see Zeppelin used too. I’ll also predict it will do well in the next round tv awards.
Smug tv series? The Office would have to be tops on that score for me.

Yeah, the mid-episode ‘music video’ interludes were def a bit jarring! And as for that final scene, arriving without explanation.....
I did stick with it though, so it must have had something.

Look. I get your point but you lost it when you used the office as a snide aside. It was way too long. Trying to be clever when we all knew what was going on. Could have been done on in two hours. Self indulgent shit.

Your snobbery proves that. We’ll done
