Just finished it myself, absolutely cracking series, one of my favourite original series I've seen in recent times. No criticisms here, it actually blew my mind how good it was in comparison to the new films (Rogue One aside).
More please!

For sure. It also managed to expertly walk the tightrope of fan-service - there were lots of moments, sets and winks for fans of the franchise to enjoy, but without being kitschy, dumb or out of place like the films often do. For example, the part at the start of the final episode:Wrathbone wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 6:37 amMark Hamill made a really good point about why it works so well, which is that it doesn't have the burden of trying to top anything else, like the films do. There's a pressure and expectation for them to always be bigger and better, whereas The Mandalorian is free to go back to basics and tell simple, compelling, character-driven stories.
I misread this as Dead Like Me
Just started watching Dead to Me, first episode last night. Seemed pretty good, will continue watching. I did guess the big reveal though well ahead of time, but presumably there's more still to come.Alan wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 12:24 pmThe Sinner S3
More of that same dark quirk that makes me really enjoy this. I dont think its a fantastic series but it has an original enough feel to set itself aside and Bill Pullman's weirdo detective pulls it all together. Better than S2 not as good as S1.
Dead To Me S2
I really like this show. Yeah it gets a bit ridiculous but its funny and dark in the right mix and the two leads are really good. I do feel they should maybe have wrapped it up tighter at the end instead of leaving it more open for another season because I'd hate for it to outstay its welcome. At the same time, looking forward to the possibility of another season!
I'm Not Okay With This
The girl from the shitey new It movies is a quirky outcast that starts developing super powers. Slightly trite but its enjoyable enough so far by around the halfway point.
Upload
Near future, people near death can upload their minds to live in a VR world forever. Guy gets badly injured in an accident and uploads. Its cheap and a bit cheesy but its not bad. It kind of reminds me of Eureka which I also enjoyed dispite it being cheap and cheesy. Only a few eps in but its a fine fairly mindless time killer.
I think thats it for opinion dump :p
I’m not sure if it’s out in the UK yet. I think it has to finish it’s USA run on whatever channel it’s on first. Should be fairly soon if it’s not - or VPN
Ah. No, we can probably wait, plenty of other stuff on our list at the moment.
