TV Series

'Scavenger's Reign'.

Extremely interesting sci-fi show.

These days you expect brilliant animation, but that actually distracts from the excellent storyline, so therefore the show is enhanced!

It's different, experimental, but very expansively ambitioned.

I like it as I can't tell where it's going.

Das Boot: (The 2018 tv series version)

It's a German television series produced for Sky tv and a follow on to the brilliant 1982 film of the same name. Just like the film, there are lots and lots of subtitles owing to it being filmed from a German perspective. But also some English diaglogue as and were nessasary.

The series picks up in late 1942 nine months after the events of the ending of the film and there are four series in all, so am currently binging on series one near to the end, with just episode nine to digest.

It's mentioned on the intrweb that .. and I quote .. "Das Boot possesses the atmospheric pressure of its cinematic forebear while adding a new depth to its compelling ensemble" and I can't argue with that. If I was to review it in compressed working class format, then I'd simply say that it's a right riveting watch.

In order to diverge from the original film it focuses on a two front perspective with lots of resistance land action, combined with life aboard those calustrophobic U-Boats as they vied for survival in those altantic convey maelstroms.

I've been down in a diesal sub off Pompey, and instantly made the decistion that it wasnt the life for me. I'm not claustrophobic or anything, but the scruffy cnunts dont even shave or wash or anything, and they all smell crabby as fook. And you dont get to see anything as only the captain and his bezzies are alowed to ride on the conning tower.

I score it 8.5/10 : Das ist all.


The actress vicky krieps was amazing in her role as Simone Strasser.

Excellent post Bob. I enjoyed it.
 
Thankfully season 2 of The Wheel of Time was much better than season 1. Obviously missed a whole heap out from the books but they just had to. Looking forward to it continuing now rather than being apprehensive about watching more.

Also just started on the new season of Bosch Legacy with the final episodes being out this week and watched the first 2 episodes. Damn, they were intense! More tonight after the footie probably.

A big thank you to whever put Goliath forward, I never knew it existed but am now steaming into series 2, really enjoying it.

As for The Fall of the House of Usher...........I'm finishing it off out of pure spite, because it isn't going to force me to admit defeat by dumping it !

Was quite disappointed with this. Started off really well but just got worse and worse as it went on.
Thought the last episode was hopeless
