picked this one out of the three on Silent WitnessChicken Run Supreme wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:06 am Watched the first two parter of this series and haven’t bothered with the rest.
To be honest we could have bailed a couple of years ago, it’s been on a downward trajectory for a while.
loved the actual show from inception. like all shows they have had their ups and downs, but like yourself I SHOULD have bailed a couple of series ago.
I did read on here the new series had started and once I would have searched out the shows, but because I had no real impetus from the last 2 series, the last one in particular was dreadful, I had completely forgotten about the new series.
not bothered that I did forget and haven't really missed watching this latest which sounds like I made the correct choice.
shame really

Watching Yellow Jackets at the moment (Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis).
A definite Lord of the Fly's vibe going on (don't want to say too much. Spoilers and all that). Enjoying it so far.

Re: What did you watch last night?
1883 and 1923
Having binged our way through every available episode of 5 seasons of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone Mrs CRS and I turned our focus towards the two prequels. I believe there is only 1 season of 1883 with no plans for a second and it does rather end with no loose ends so that makes sense. Really enjoyed it if a little slow to start but once it got going was great to watch. Sam Elliott is good value as always and there’s a blink and you’ll miss it cameo from Tom Hanks. It’s an old fashioned tale of settlers heading East and the perils that await them with some stunning cinematography along the way.
We are currently waiting for 1923 to restart after mid season break and I’m not so sure with this one. Again it looks stunning but Harrison Ford is such a mumbler it’s hard to decipher him at times and what with Jerome Flynn and Dame Helen Mirren chucking in some dodgy accents it almost warrants subtitles. Plenty of time to recover but jury out for me.

Re: What did you watch last night?
Yup we've watched all of this series and I thought this weeks 2 episodes were by far the best of a poor bunch.OFT wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:34 am Having finally given up on Silent Witness after the first 4 of the current 10 we watched the last 2 this week, and whereas it was still poor it was at least more 'lab' and less 'shoot 'em up' and so slightly more acceptable than the atrocious 'first 4'
Agree though, it's done as a series and ought to be dropped.

Re: What did you watch last night?
Started Wakanda Forever, did the first hour and it doesn't feel like a MCU film, somber, lack of action, story is a bit off (but it is the MCU.) No idea if it descends into CGI madness in the second half but decent thus far.
EDIT : Struggled to finish it to be honest. I cannot get invested in any of the characters, the story seemed weak.. why did it happen? the reasons were weaker than kids at school fighting, as for the lead, no she just doesn't carry it for me.
It was for want of a better word 'boring'

Re: What did you watch last night?
I've been watching Westworld for the first time and so far, I'm very much enjoying it. Not quite finished season 1 yet. For those that have seen it - does it maintain its quality across seasons? Or is it another one of those that deteriorate after a good start?

Re: What did you watch last night?
I'd probably leave it at season 1 if I were you, I thought it was brilliant, but sadly it's downhill from there.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:21 am I've been watching Westworld for the first time and so far, I'm very much enjoying it.

Re: What did you watch last night?
Absolutely
Series 1 was fantastic but I bailed on second series relatively early, fell off a cliff sadly, the show not me

Re: What did you watch last night?
Started watching Everything everywhere all at once. I loved it for the first 20 minutes or so but then when the metaverse thing kicked off and given I was quite tired I stopped it after about another 20 minutes for another day when I had more energy and better concentration levels. Hoping its not another Tenet, which I enjoyed without having a clue what was going on.
I'm not sure what to make of it so far and audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes tend to be either 1 star or 5 star so clearly a marmite movie. The two leads are great so far though, I've always like Michelle Yeoh in everything I've seen her in, and its great to see 'Short Round' from the Indy films back on screen again

Re: What did you watch last night?
Following what episode/series is next is harder than working out whodunnit. I think 5 and 6 of series 11 are Vital Signs and The way the wind blows.Cuenca 'ammer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 11:53 pm was there a

season 11 episodes 5 and 6 ?
not showing anywhere on the "usual suspects."
Season 12 is up but not those last 2 episodes which shows as being televised on Wiki
They were new to ITV this January but have been 'available online' since last year when we watched them - presumably they aired overseas. We didn't realise this so it was a bit confusing when we sat down to watch the 'new' episodes only to realise we had seen them.

Re: What did you watch last night?
episode 1 series 12 was the same one as listed on Wiki
DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) is called to a remote lighthouse where a body has been discovered lashed to a sailboat.
so I'm still missing the last 2 of season 11..

Re: What did you watch last night?
It was a very bizarre film. Even after it finished I was unsure whether it was a work of genius or completely and utterly awful. It had my attention for the duration though which is more than be said for many films I watch these days.Whitters wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:17 pm Started watching Everything everywhere all at once.

Re: What did you watch last night?
Endured another dismal episode of Silent Witness. The deadest thing about it is the script and the acting.
It's so woke and feeble these days it's almost funny. The orthodox jew character is such a terrible actor for a start.

but a couple of seasons back it seemed like they had to tick EVERY box at least twice in every episode so it seemed as though they leaned too far to appease everyone they could. all of the time.
as I said above, I haven't even bothered with this new series and I only struggled through the last 2 seasons really out of "loyalty" as I have watched every episode of every season since inception.
foolish me......

Re: What did you watch last night?
A bit of both, I thought. A great idea, far too silly at times but it was nice to be entertained and see something slightly more original than the previous 50 marvel films.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:23 pm I was unsure whether it was a work of genius or completely and utterly awful.

I'm self harming too and have stuck with it, and will see it through to the end before bidding it farewell. 3 episodes to go...Denbighammer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:14 pm Endured another dismal episode of Silent Witness. The deadest thing about it is the script and the acting.

There is way too little of what the series is meant to be about, way too many irrelevant side stories.
The writing is poor, the acting by the bulk of the characters and pretty much all of the supporting cast is abysmal, the scripts, scenarios and coincidences are laughable
It's been on a downward trajectory for years, it's reached rock bottom this series.
If this was a new program, first series, there never would have been a second series

Re: What did you watch last night?
Watched the final double episode of Frasier on Channel 4 this morning
Seen it many many times before, but still brilliant TV
Probably the best ending to any comic series I can think of, almost faultless. You can even forgive the presence of Antony La Paglia, Robbie Coltrane and Richard E Grant as the most mis-matched Mancunians to ever have appeared on screen
