TV Show recommendations

[Baile Brigín 2]

Fallout is terrible.

Night Manager not much better. For a BBC show, seems very amateurish and cringey.

Watched first season of fallout any thought it was ok. Is the second much the same or is it far worse?

I enjoyed the first season too. The second is just very poor - big drop in standards.

John Le Carre who wrote S1 died. Someone else wrote S2. That simple.

Le Carré didn't write season 1. He wrote the book it was based on, and there were some pretty significant differences.

Was just trying to find something on netflix and came across anatomy of a scandal.

It's about a government minister who has an affair with his aide, then dumps her, she then accuses him of rape. The first few episodes were great and the whole did he or didn't he and the court case was really interesting.

How it should have ended. They should have kept the mystery of his guilt to the end, he gets off and then either with a flashback or a new assault or something we realise he is actually guilty, a serial rapist with no remorse

Instead we get a f**king absolute mess, the prosecuting barrister was raped by him and is out for revenge. The barrister is also the guys  wife's uni flat mate yet no-one recognises her wtf. Has she had face off cage/travolta style surgery, she has decided to risk her career instead of just telling someone what happened and have another barrister take the case. He gets off but then his wife who feels bad realising he is guilty tells the media about some unfortunate drug incident from 20 yrs ago involving him and the now prime minister. The government collapses and the guy is arrested all on his wife's word with no shred of any evidence which is a massive stretch especially for a courtroom based drama. Really disappointing end considering the strong start.

Sorry about the spoilers but I'm saving you all 6 hrs of your life.

Wonder Man is really enjoyable. Not really a superhero show from Marvel and Ben Kingsley is brilliant in it.
It's shot like an indie film too, so very different in style to the Marvel bits.

Looking to start Under the Salt Marsh then.

Is that the Sienna miller one? Gav up on it a couple of years ago inside the first episode. Really bizarre cinematography in it if I recall correctly.

That's the one yes there are some lol visual effects but I thought the first few episodes were good enough unfortunately it soon descended into a farce

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - Very enjoyable 3 episodes so far.

Fourth episode was very good. Wee Egg is class!

it is really good.
I just wish the episode were a  it longer.

Egg is stealing the show.

I saw some of these clips that go floating around bookface fro GOT, one where jofferey is reading the book about families of westeros,  he says Duncan the tall has about 9 pages. lol.
these wee links between shows are clever

[gallsman]

The novellas are very good and the show has been quite true to it so far.

The beginning of the first episode with the famous theme kicking in and then a sharp cut to Dunk taking an explosive dump was a fantastic way to separate it from the "epic" nature of GOT.

Given the trial is about to start, I dunno how they'll get two episodes out of it. From the trial starting to the end of the book is about 5 pages.

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - I have to avoid this thread now as Mrs LB says she doesn't want to watch them each week and have to wait in-between, so we are letting them build up for a binge lol. I dont get this kind of logic.

This is despite our fella being a child extra in some of the scenes somewhere in it.

Well typical GOT format is the penultimate episode is the finale as such, with the final episode setting up the next season. Will there be a 2nd season of this? Never read the book....

[gallsman]

There are three novellas. So far.

Second one is a bit crap. Third is good.
