I'm a couple of episodes into The Fall of the House of Usher, very intrigued so far
just started watching that, so far it's good, also just finished watching Devil in Ohio.. it started well but in the end was pretty dull and unimaginitive

I started rewatching CSI: NY again. Probably my favourite of the CSI’s but I kinda forgot how dark the first season was compared to the second and onwards.
ive watched a few howlers on netflix recently, that i have given 5-10 mins and then moved on. I can't see me keeping my sub active for long
Just finished watching series 7 and 8 of 60 Days - In Jail

currently have started with the series Siren (on Disney+)
didn't know the one mermaid actress is belgian Eline Powell (real name Eline Pauwels, her father is a virologist apparently Rudi Pauwels) quite a talented actress
it's a nice series so far, 4 episodes into season 1
Been rewatching the Blackadder series recently. Contrary to popular opinion, everyone in my family always rated the first series pretty highly. I've always described it as being like The Three Stooges meets Monty Python, what with Blackadder himself being closer to Percy and Baldrick on an intellectual level. I've always found the third series to be the least good. Though having rewatched it, I might be reversing course a little on that opinion. I think II might now be my least favourite.

I didn’t like the first series at all … they must have been shocked to be offered the chance of Series 2 !!
I wonder why they changed the Blackadder character quite so much ?

Well weirdly enough, the original pilot episode has Blackadder being the usual sort of snarky wit we see in II onwards. For whatever reason, they changed him into being a bit of a weaselly slimeball in the first series proper. IIRC, Richard Curtis has since claimed that they wanted to show him evolve over the course of the first series into the (relatively) cunning wit everyone's more familiar with now. And I can kind of see that. If you rewatch that first series, though he's still a far cry from the Blackadder we're all used to, he's definitely on his way to becoming that kind of character by the time of the first series finale.

Siren i feel like it was cancelled, more same as Terra Nova, too expensive maybe because damn those underwater scenes too, gorgeous scenes
7.0 on IMDB and like 90% on Rotten Tomatoes is amazing feedback tbh
deffo worth to watch in my opinion
i hope we're soon gonna see more from Eline Powell, fabulous actress

I've watched the pilots of both Silo and Blue Eye Samurai.
I'll say that both of them have potential, I think that Silo did better on the worldbuilding and overall plot, but Blue Eye Samurai did the better job on characterization and action imo.
As more of a plot person, it gave the edge to Silo for me on which Show has the better pilot.

Out of interest what kind of Shows have you been watching? And what type of Shows do you normally like?
Because I find nowadays that trailers don't help much with knowing if a Show is going to be for you or not, so maybe getting an idea of what you normally like might help get you some recommendations that might suit your tastes better.

If you like Slow Horses then you might like Spooks if you haven't already seen it, I mean as I haven't seen Slow Horses myself I'm probably off base on what it's like.
According to IMDB, they say that if you like Slow Horses then you'll have a shot at liking these particular Shows.
For All Mankind - IMDB Score - 8.1/10
Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters - IMDB Score - 7.1/10
Hijack - IMDB Score - 7.4/10
Silo - IMDB Score - 8.1/10 - I've watched the first four episodes, and so far I would say that it has the most interesting Sci-Fi plot since The Expanse. So I can testify myself that Silo has some decent quality to the series if you haven't already seen it.
Fargo - IMDB Score - 8.9/10
Black Bird - IMDB Score - 8.1/10
Reacher - IMDB Score - 8.1/10 - I don't know how you felt about 24 BOTS, but if you liked 24 then you'll have a shot at liking Reacher. I personally enjoyed the Show is all I can really say.
Ted Lasso - IMDB Score - 8.8/10
Severance - IMDB Score - 8.7/10 - Again like Silo it's not perfect, but the plotting is a damn sight better than some of the stuff that Streamers are throwing out there imo.
A Murder At The End Of The World - IMDB Score - 7.2/10
Bad Sisters - IMDB Score - 8.3/10
Shrinking - IMDB Score - 8.0/10
Oh and one that I would personally recommend away from the Streamers is From, it's nothing really like any of the Shows above, but it is a good Mystery driven Show about a bunch of people who are trapped in a Town and the goal for the group is to find a way out, and who or what is causing them to be trapped in the Town in the first place.
From also has the Actor who played Michael from Lost in the Show.
they have just fed you back apple tv shows which is quite funny. There are some good shows on apple tv that i do like, but whats more important, and this applies to the excellent Slow horses, is that the acting is superbly done and the writing/stories are top notch.

I've done a fair bit of TV viewing lately.
I've put Blue Eye Samurai on hold for now.
I've finished Silo yesterday, and tbh overall I would say it has been the best Sci-Fi effort that I've seen in years, Severance was baby steps in comparison.
Don't get me wrong Silo isn't perfect (the show can be very dry on dark humour) and some of the characters could do with a bit more character development (some of the characters though are really well written) so it's a bit of a mixed bag in that area imo.
The area where Silo is really refreshing, is how strong the plot is, and how detailed the plot is, because I'm so used to TV Shows nowadays in general either doing shallow plotting, no plotting or trying to rip off TLOU really badly plotting with the adoptive parent to child trope. Where as Silo will develop how the society in the Silo works, and throughout the season you will keep finding out new information about the secrets within the Silo. And the last scene in the finale made me want to see more of how the story goes, a plot in a TV Show hasn't made me feel like that in an American Show since GOT.
The Sci-Fi genre full stop wants to look at Silo's worldbuilding and general plot direction if they want to get back to their glory days again, because even if you go back to more lighthearted Sci-Fi Shows like Farscape or Stargate SG-1, they build more of an interesting and detailed societies than you'll get in say The Mandalorian or Lost In Space.
Onimusha - This was very disappointing imo, I watched 4 episodes of it before calling it quits, because it is so painfully by the numbers that there's nothing to really hook me into the Anime personally.
Onimusha tbf does some things well like the aesthetic of the world, having an older protagonist in an industry that likes either Loli girls or teen boys to take the lead normally, it has interesting Music, and it clearly wants to be Dororo which is good. It even isn't afraid to kill characters off.
Where it lets itself down for me is the plot and character development, I honestly don't know what is wrong with modern writers or modern audience taste, but there are so many Japanese Anime and Live Action Shows that just don't bother to develop a story, or give their main cast actual personalities that are interesting or well developed.
And unfortunately Onimusha is very guilty of both, the "story" is practically non-existent, and the characters have about as much character development as Plank did on Ed, Edd n Eddy, and both of these issues are happening far too often nowadays. It makes me wonder what the **** is going on behind the scenes.
And I've watched the first 4 episodes of Back Street Girls: Gokudolls - Now this might not appeal to everyone because I did read a review on MAL accusing it of being Transphobic (basically code for it does Comedy) but I'm going to guess that some people will share that opinion for some reason.
And tbf if you're not even remotely up on the Japanese Idol scene or the Yakuza, then the humour will fall flat for you more than likely.
Imo though the Anime is hilarious so far, if you can embrace what it's going for anyway.
Basically the concept of the Show is a Yakuza boss gives three of his Yakuza members an ultimatum to make up for failing him.
1. Have their organs harvested and sold.
Or
2. Go to Thailand and have sex reassignment surgery to become Pop Idols, and basically it goes from there.
It essentially is a Parody of the Idol scene, and they use Yakuza members to do it just for extra comedic effect.

Fair points.
I personally can overlook the acting if the story and characters are good, but I suppose it does depend on how bad the acting is.

I've nearly finished Season 1 of Hannibal.
I really enjoyed The Silence Of The Lambs and Manhunter, so Hannibal had some tough shoes to fill, but tbf I think that the Season has been a very solid first Season.
Yeah there could be minor improvements, but nothing show destroying imo.
And Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen & Laurence Fishburne have all been delivering solid performances on the Show so far.
Aside from the obvious inspiration of Silence Of The Lambs, the Show also reminds me of aspects from Dexter and Criminal Minds, and I enjoyed both of those Shows a lot (I even liked some of their later Seasons) so I am really happy to see Hannibal being more like them, rather than being some timid thing that's afraid of it's own shadow.
Oh and I finished Back Street Girls: Gokudols and it was hilarious imo.

watched episode 5 of Siren Season 3 last night
birth of Ryn's baby scene, unfortunately Meredith didn't survive that pregnancy and Meredith despite being a human/mermaid hybrid got a burial at sea by Ryn and Cami for her efforts of delivering that baby
meanwhile Helen and Xander had to get rid of Bryan's corpse at the ranch, Bryan's funeral in the yard when the group lit him up in flames, all the while inside the pregnancy was taking place :joker:
Xander his police training, had to go back to the water, when Calvin messed up with his mermaid tour boat, not having done proper maintenance to save money so they ended up stuck in the middle of the waters with one passenger having bumped her head and was bleeding, Xander telling Calvin to man up for once :amazed: :clap2:
as for our villain, Tia she's gathering her forces underwater for the war with some of Ryn's tribe spying on her from a safe distance
don't get why there isn't a season 4 tbh, such an amazing series, those visuals are divine, also with the mermaid baby, nice transformation from human form to mermaid form

ahh good glad to hear that, I'm not far past the bit where
Gus tells Eli that they died before and that he's the one on the phone trying to fix things.

I'm at the halfway point of Season 2 of Hannibal, and again it's another brilliant Season, if anything it may be slightly sharper in some areas compared to Season 1.
I was sad at Beverly's death, as I did like her character. but overall a very good Season.
I've also been watching two huge Anime series back in the day in Black Lagoon and Clannad.
Black Lagoon - I've done the first 8 episodes of Season 1, and tbh it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop, but on an acid trip.
Plus whoever animated Revy deserves an award.:evilgrin:
But seriously the biggest strength of Black Lagoon is the cast, especially Revy, Dutch and Rock, all three characters contribute hugely into why this Anime is so entertaining imo.
It's a very OTT show, so it won't be for everyone, but if you're okay with how OTT it is then you'll have a blast.
Clannad - I've watched the first 5 episodes of Clannad, and it's very out of my comfort zone, but I do like it so far, I like how well written the characters are, and I do like the mix of Slice Of Life, Drama and a tinge of Comedy (which there's more of than the fans tend to sell it as) it's been a pleasant surprise so far for me.
I do for some reason like the ED to Clannad a lot as well.:joker:
Although the Music is really good on Black Lagoon, Madhouse (the Studio that made Death Note's Anime) really nailed the Music again here.
Basically in a rare scenario, I'm actually happy with all of the Shows that I'm currently watching.:joker:

I also watched the first episode of Jessica Jones the Marvel character. on Disney+.. don’t know if I’m bothered enough to continue .
I actually watched the first episode on Netflix a couple of years ago and also gave up after one episode
Interesting to see that Disney heavily edited / censored the sex scenes - to be expected I suppose.

All I will say is that she helps me consider giving Killing Eve a go.:joker:
Just like Revy helped me give Black Lagoon a go if you catch my drift.:hehe:
And I dare even the most die hard Anime haters to not fall in love with Revy, she's the perfect woman.
Just watched the first episode of Grimm !!

I'm at the halfway point of Season 2 of Hannibal, and again it's another brilliant Season, if anything it may be slightly sharper in some areas compared to Season 1.
I was sad at Beverly's death, as I did like her character. but overall a very good Season.
I've also been watching two huge Anime series back in the day in Black Lagoon and Clannad.
Black Lagoon - I've done the first 8 episodes of Season 1, and tbh it reminds me of Cowboy Bebop, but on an acid trip.
Plus whoever animated Revy deserves an award.:evilgrin:
But seriously the biggest strength of Black Lagoon is the cast, especially Revy, Dutch and Rock, all three characters contribute hugely into why this Anime is so entertaining imo.
It's a very OTT show, so it won't be for everyone, but if you're okay with how OTT it is then you'll have a blast.
Clannad - I've watched the first 5 episodes of Clannad, and it's very out of my comfort zone, but I do like it so far, I like how well written the characters are, and I do like the mix of Slice Of Life, Drama and a tinge of Comedy (which there's more of than the fans tend to sell it as) it's been a pleasant surprise so far for me.
I do for some reason like the ED to Clannad a lot as well.:joker:
Although the Music is really good on Black Lagoon, Madhouse (the Studio that made Death Note's Anime) really nailed the Music again here.
Basically in a rare scenario, I'm actually happy with all of the Shows that I'm currently watching.:joker:
Update on my opinions of all three Shows.
Hannibal - Overall a fantastic Show, NBC should be proud of the first two Seasons, and three great Actors who play Hannibal, Will and Jack.
However I will say that I think Season 3 has been poor so far after watching just under half of the season.
My main issues with the Season are these two things.
1. The plot meandering with really boring scenes to try and look all artsy, or doing trippy psychological scenes that are essentially about nothing, but it makes it look like something is happening. And Will unfortunately in the first 5 episodes was left with a nonsensical character to interact with, which I will cover now.
2. The writing for Chiyoh (a new character that has been drafted into Season 3) feels kinda pointless to the story, and ultimately her writing makes no sense to me, and that's saying something when I'm understanding the writing for Alana more, and she's basically degrading as a character with each Season.:joker:
And to add, I do think that both Alana and Gillian Anderson's character have both faced rewrites this Season, they're both good Actresses (especially Gillian Anderson) but I do feel like the writers have gone from "character growth" to not even the same personality anymore with Alana. And Gillian Anderson's character has gone from believing Will's innocence and kind of being scared of Hannibal in Season 2, to now being more shady herself in Season 3.
And btw that's not to say that the Show still doesn't have it's moments, in particular Jack as a character and the second half of episode 5 have been strengths for the Season.
Black Lagoon - I've done the first 6 episodes of Season 2, and tbh I'm really enjoying it still, Revy is the perfect woman and a really entertaining character, Rock is an interesting character that's very different to everybody else on the Show, and Dutch and I think the blonde one's name is Benny? Are also really fun characters.
Plus I'm seeing more from certain side characters that were established in Season 1 which I like to see a world that's actually growing.
And I've got to say that the first three episodes of Season 2 has got to be my personal favourite arc of the Show so far, you know the villains are twisted when it's bothering Chang (who once threatened someone with "turning their balls into nuts") and even he was bothered by the villains at the start of Season 2, it was good stuff.
Overall a good start to Season 2 for Black Lagoon imo.
And I've done the first 15 episodes of Clannad, and again I'm really enjoying it in a very different way to how I'm enjoying Hannibal and Black Lagoon.
A warning to anyone that doesn't like Fantasy though, Clannad has very minor elements of Fantasy in the Anime.
Oh and on the Reality TV front I'm watching The Traitors UK Series 2 which has been highly entertaining imo, the best Reality Show at the moment on current form I personally feel. Although my favourite got murdered in the penultimate episode by the bastard Traitors.:fist::joker:
And The Masked Singer UK Series 5, which is okay, but I feel like it can't recreate the qualities of the first two Seasons I feel.

…I agree with bots that the first two series were probably the most riveting but I also enjoyed the last two series, I had become so invested in the characters by then …I thought that maybe Eve would then kill Caroline but she obviously survived it all…I was kind of holding my breath for the ending, in how Villanelle would die or how they would both die because that felt so inevitable as to how it was going to happen……

Overall a very good Show (I can't believe that the Networks in America had a Show like this) I really enjoyed it, Season 3 imo is the weakest Season due to a really slow start to the Season, and some bizarre character development for a couple of the characters.
But I do think that episode 5 and episodes 8-13 are really good episodes in the Season, Richard Armitage's character is very entertaining in the Season.:joker:
I've only got three episodes left of Black Lagoon, I will definitely miss Revy and the gang, it's such a fun Anime to watch.
And I'm going to finally be starting Clannad: After Story (basically Season 2 of Clannad) I'm hoping that it'll be good because Season 1 surprised me with how much I liked it.
In particular Okazaki and Sunohara have my favourite performances in Season 1.

Yes .. both are strong 7/10 series to my mind … both have my complete attention but for different reasons ..
Both have a strong , charismatic lead character/ actor , both are very likeable and good men fighting against evil / bad .
Yet they couldn’t be more different in that one is a basic crime series and Grimm features all manner of monsters ( done in a rather unique way )

I remember watching Grimm years ago, something came up that took my attention away from it though, so I could always make another attempt.
And I did see a Subreddit yesterday list Justified as one of the best Shows for dialogue, which I do love it when a Show has standout dialogue.
Either way I'm glad that you're enjoying both Shows.
…I binged both seasons of Back to Life, I loved it…:love:…I felt it had a perfect balance of comedy and poignancy, which I think would apply quite a bit to the situation of Miri’s character of such a tragedy that impacted so many who lived in that close community environment…I won’t give anything away of the storyline or any individual characters but they all just blended perfectly into a thoroughly good watch…I would definitely recommend…

Justified went on for about 6 seasons which is decent then after quite a few years gap they brought it back a few weeks ago with a brand new series .. must be well thought of to do that .
Another similarity between the two series is that they both have really good and likeable supporting characters .

…I’ve just begun to watch Silo, it’s an interesting plot and a good cast and I’ve only watched two episodes so far…but it hasn’t quite grabbed me yet…

it's a slow burner, but it really is very good. You must have Apple TV, so I highly recommend Slow Horses if you haven't watched it yet. Also, Monarch was unexpectedly good from my view

…yeah, I have a free trial period so I’m going to binge the bejeezus out of it until my eyes can’t take it anymore…I think the thing with Silo is that it’s a much slower pace to Black Bird, so probably not the best time to watch it when I had just finished that ….because it just doesn’t grip in the same way…but yeah, it’s still a good story, I just haven’t decided whether to put it on hold for a bit and then come back to it…Slow Horses was another one that I looked at but saw that it was 3 seasons so decided to opt for less seasons and a quicker watch…I also looked at H/Jack and Bad Sisters because I’ve seen bits of both on Gogglebox…:laugh:…if you haven’t watched Black Bird, honestly you’ll be hooked from the very first …

i'm on a free trial with apple tv too, i've had about 6 free trials of it from various places over the last 2 years :laugh:
The slow horses seasons are reflective of the original books, so they are self contained, which means it's only 6 episodes per season. I don't gush very much about many series, but Slow Horses is so good

Oh yeah Silo is good, I read the book series as well
…Silo……Ive only watched two episodes but it feels as though the relics and all of the forbidden stuff is from previous communities and worlds in the silo that forever reason, have failed…and with each fail, the silo literally moves up to a new level to begin again…maybe it’s not even so much a fail but a population control and when one level reaches its limit…everyone is destroyed/killed and it begins again…?…anyway, with that very hostile looking pregnancy control object that is inserted into females, all is not as it seems, is it…it’s all very dark…
…I guess that I’m also a bit hesitant to invest in Silo only to lead to a cliffhanger, rather than a conclusion…conclusions are always such the more neat endings for me…I’m a short attention span kind of gal…keep it moving, keep it grooving…

Silo's story goes from strength to strength as the Season goes along imo.
I honestly haven't seen an American Show since GOT that was so strong at worldbuilding, even over the Mysteries, that was probably my favourite part of the Show, because normally in the Streaming age TV Shows are telling everything in a really basic Movie like structure, which for me kills off any attempt of branching away to different perspectives in the story, and normally it's one thin plot stretched out over an 8 episode Season and if you're lucky it's about three people in the main cast, which don't get me wrong I have liked Shows with a small cast, but it has to be exceptionally well made towards my personal taste to overcome what I personally see as a huge flaw in a TV Show.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Silo is perfect (for me there were a couple of uninteresting characters in the Show) and it certainly won't appeal to everyone (which is fair enough) but like The Sandman off Netflix, I do appreciate both Shows trying to actually encourage people to have an actual attention span again, rather than these 8 episode thinly told arc throughout the Season.
And to clarify I'm not saying that if you dislike Silo or The Sandman that you automatically have a short attention span (because that's just ridiculous) but I do know that some people found it genuinely weird that The Sandman had two arcs and a couple of stand alone episodes within the same Season.:umm2: It was almost like the Show was doing world building, thus trying to add more depth to the work and make it more eventful for the viewers, the horror!:eek:
But sarcasm towards the end aside, I do get why people wouldn't like either Show for legitimate reasons, but I've personally been craving what both Shows are offering (or at least trying to offer) because there are so many Shows that fail at trying to make their worlds feel alive at the moment.
I think what I'm really looking for now, is a relatively new Show from America that actually allows for strong dialogue, because that's genuinely non-existent from the modern Hollywood scene imo.
I apologize btw Ammi for such a long post.:laugh:

I hate the fact that Silo left us on a cliffhanger as well.
It's one of those cases where a 20 episode Season was desperately needed, so that you get momentum from where you've been left off.

…thank you for taking the time, Mock…I really do appreciate that..:love:…and you’re completely right, it is going from strength to strength with the ‘power building’ in the silo…I’m past the halfway mark of the season so not too much to go before I reach any conclusions or cliffhangers and I still at times get a little disoriented as to the timelines and what is ‘now’ time and what is ‘back’ time …but I am getting more used to it and Rebecca Ferguson is excellent…I should try to catch Sandman, I think that’s a series that I’ve missed but I’ll look it up…

…I really liked this…it was a bit of a slower build up immediately after watching Black Bird and the story wasn’t what I thought it was going to be…it was much more about the power politics of the silo world dynamics…anyway, by the end of the season I was completely hooked …I think the problem for me is that there are so, so many series and great series, that I’ll possibly forget about it before season 2 airs…/…I prefer the miniseries, type of plot…but yeah, I recommend, it was very good…
…I’ve just begun to watch Masters of the Air because I thought some had been filmed locally to me, but that was fake news, I think…I’ve only watched one episode but it feels like a riveting watch…

Justified is soooooo absorbing !!

…I have no idea what’s going on either…other than she was savagely attacked by the guy who gave her the wooden horse…and the other murder of the ‘girl in the pipe’ might have been killed by the same man so linking a possible serial killer…I know that there is time travel involved so I’m thinking that’s why she’s writing notes because she’s travelling dimensions…maybe to find the guy who attacked her…or maybe she’s trying to get away from him….its very intriguing even though I don’t understand the plot….I’m hooked already….

I actually watched a little bit of the 2nd episode too so I hope this was still from ep 1 but the guy who gave her the horse doesn't seem to have aged at all when he appears in the Observatory/planetarium which I presume isn't in the 60's when he was with Kirby as a child

…no it’s not the 60’s because she said that she was attacked 6 years ago when she was talking to Dan, I think he’s called….its not going back and forward in time like the past and present etc…it’s travelling from dimension to dimension….when the man who attacked her first sat down on the step at the beginning…?…he said that his knee locked down or something when it rained…so had he already killed the girl in the pipe…is that the same girl from the planetarium….

…it might have a vibe of Memento about it as well…not in that it’s memory linked but that if it was played in real time, it would all make perfect sense but the intrigue of it is that it’s not all meant to, we’re piecing it together from the clues also…just like she is from her notes etc….

….oh also from episode 1…
…when he left the wooden horse for Kirby and she said that she didn’t want it…?…he said, but you’ll take it…you always do…so he’d had (many/multiple…)…meetings and interactions with her so I think he knows his victims over a long period of time before he attacks/kills…but his age is the same so he’s travelling in and out of dimensions….?….Kirby was already an adult when he attacked her if it was 6 years previously so we’re not seeing anything in any time order….

One warning I will give you about The Sandman if you do give it a shot, is that it can be reasonably big on gore (which I don't know where you stand on that) and don't get me wrong it's not at the GOT or TWD levels of gore, but it's higher than Silo for example.
And I'm glad that you're getting into Silo more, and Rebecca Ferguson's performance was really good, she won me over after being uncertain about her at the beginning, because I pre-judged what her character was going to be like, but thankfully I was wrong on my initial impression of her.
And Rebecca Ferguson in a Sheriff's Uniform.:drool::joker:

The Sandman mainly uses the gore to show the audience just how vile certain villains can be in that Show, which I personally don't think is as bad as some Shows gore over the years, so if you're okay with gore in certain context then I believe that you should be okay with The Sandman.

I only noticed the 2nd time i watched that not just the murders are jumping in time but also other events like Dan waking up on the train with his hand cut and then showing it happening afterwards instead of before. I also missed that Kirby still has that horse statue on her locker as an adult

… I won’t say anything until you’ve finished because I can’t recall which episode each held which bit and I don’t want to accidentally give any spoilers ….but I absolutely understand why it was said that it’s best to go into it not knowing very much about it because …it has got a feel of Memento but it’s also quite unique in itself as well ….

We finished it last night
I really enjoyed it over all. Seems like Harper was a time travelling incel then, the connection that these women had was that they all rejected him and made him feel small and inferior. Kirby when he tried to chat her up with the ear rings trick, Julia when she refused the coffee and told him not to touch her in the nursing home, Jinny when he tried to show his star knowledge after the Planetarium show and she corrected him and of course Klara the original love interest. An interesting take on an insecure little man

…(…I felt as though…)…there were shades of Memento, as we said…but also shades of the Butterfly Effect…
…he was definitely misogynistic but inherently evil as well…maybe the house ‘summoned him’ because it could feel that evil even before his first encounter with it…the other common thing with his victims was that they were ‘shining women’…women who showed and had potential to excel …and that’s what we saw from the beginning on the doorstep…when he said to Kirby that it was about finding the shine and then removing it…as in taking their life away from them just as they were reaching a place of importance in their lives…and he had no interest in any girl that didn’t ‘shine’ which is why he didn’t kill the young girl who asked him to get the alcohol for her…she want any ‘challenge’…she wasn’t someone he could observe and find interest in her life and spend his time going back to different parts of her life etc…?…he found her very unremarkable and his victims couldn’t be that…he had to stalk them and taunt them and see how he was causing confusion/…chaos if you like…I thought that Kirby’s changing appearances with her hair/styles were interesting as well in showing time jolts…I’m going to read the book, I think…because it’s apparently completely different in the ending…I guess that’s because in the series, there is room to have another series…I mean, that was left possible, want it…I don’t know if that’s the reason for the different ending, though…but I read for instance that in the book, the house somehow directed Harper to his next victim and that he literally could see a visible ‘shining glow’ around the girl…hence the story title…

Do you think the house itself wanted to be used for evil though? There wasn't any indication the man Harper got the house from was evil or using it for evil, he just seemed fed up of it, he'd probably been jumping around for a very long time, probably same as the man previous to him who was hanging from the stairs. I don't think Harper would have ever wanted to kill himself and leave the house.

…this is a quote I read about the house…/…I’ll give you a really interesting link in a minute …this is what’s made me want to read the book because I rarely do it that way round, once I’ve seen a dramatised version…but I feel with this that there might be quite a bit lost in the telling specifically because it was intended to keep us guessing, like with Lost…but it feels as though the book explains a lot more and concludes the story with a different ending…
‘The house isn’t just a well-furnished time travel machine. It’s a malevolent entity that has existed for at least a few hundred years. It targets people who will use its power to sow pain and discord throughout time, then feeds off the resulting anguish - both from the victim’s torment and their death’…..
…and the interesting twist for the series is that the house didn’t target Kirby to do its bidding, it targeted her as a victim….and she took control, the control that Harper had on her through the house…so what power has she got now because she had no ‘evil’ in her like Harper had…would she use it to just travel to dimensions to keep people alive…to keep their living versions…

…I’ve started to watch Severance …it’s a completely unique and intriguing storyline so hopefully it’ll be a good watch…
…I’m struggling a bit with Severance…I will probably continue and watch the whole season because I’m just going into episode 6 so more than half way now but, hmmmm…it’s bleak and depressing…it has a vibe of Joe Versus the Volcano/the beginning scenes…and the thought of Joe staying in that working environment and never travelling to meet the volcano…?…well, I just feel that movie would have also lacked something quite important…it’s giving me all kinds of anxieties with that artificial lighting and the thought of that being their lives…and I just don’t get any point of it…and even when we do find out what the point is…/…what their work is etc and how sinister etc…?..who the heck cares, I mean…there are a million series out there and all pretty fabulous and more instantly engaging than this…of all of the TV’s in all of the world and this series walks into mine…hmmmmm, not the best….

Thanks for that Ammi, do you think there will be a second season? Not sure I want one as much I liked the first :think:
Have you been watching True Detective?

…….I’m not sure because I don’t think that a second season is necessary…the only storyline really it could take would be…[YT]…how does the evil of the house impact and possibly change Kirby’s character…but she magnificently took the power/control back from both the House and Harper so I think for me, that’s the perfect ending….i guess we saw also that, that control means she effectively can avoid the killings…I do though want to read the book because I loved it but I do feel a bit cheated by the changes…how the part the house played was very much a key part of the book but we didn’t realise that…we didn’t see the house ‘choose’ the victims and actually show them shining with their auras…and the ending itself is apparently completely different, so I will read it…but yeah, I agree with you that Harper was effectively an ‘incel’ who the house chose to kill for it…because he was an easy person to choose, I guess…he already had that inbuilt misogyny….

Yeah, and to me just watching the show they kind of implied that he chose them both because of their "shine" and because they all rejected his advances so he punished them just like he punished his original "love" Klara.
I did read as well that by not killing Harper at the end she was doing an evil thing because he still may end being a serial killer, just in his own timeline. That Kirby chose to punish him by letting him experience what she had, the life changing constantly

…and also in not killing Jim, she could make him ‘relive’ that control that she had over him, whenever she chose…because that’s what he did to her and some of the others…Probably all of the other victims, it’s just that the storyline could only focus on a few…what wasn’t instructed by the house or didn’t appear to be is how much Harper enjoyed tormenting and torturing them by constantly appearing in every version of them and throwing them into confusion …always letting them know that he had the control to end their lives at any time…Kirby has turned all of that back in him, there can’t really be a more joyful ending than that…
Not yet, i think there's one episode left
…when it’s finished I’m looking forward to binging it…although I think Mr Ammi is probably concerned that I’m in training to be a serial killer or something…

haha yeah joyful for her but will the house now corrupt her into becoming an evil person who can only get joy from torturing people :think:

Tbh as much as I like this show, it's not one I would have liked to binge too heavily, it is quite a bleak and dark series, and 1 or 2 episodes in a row is enough for me

…I think this is what I’m finding atm with Severance as well…/…the concept of the storyline is good and interesting but what it gives is quite bleak and grey….and some stories/series are just not meant for binging…it’s too much so takes away and contras some of their intentions, you know…we need to create our own balance in watching and binging doesn’t allow for that…
…actually I’ve just randomly thought of a series you might like if you haven’t seen it…Class of ‘07…

Controversially I would say that Severance is overrated by it's fans imo.
Don't get me wrong, I think that it's a decent first Season, but I personally preferred Silo out of the two.

Apple TV have done some great, high quality output across the board. There are a few that don't float my boat, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad :laugh: There is more that i like than don't like, and i can't say that about any other streaming service
Tbf to AppleTV I've only mainly watched their Sci-Fi and Comedy output (or so called Comedy I should say) I'm just saying that Sci-Fi seems to be a strength for them.
Silo
Severance
Foundation Season 2 (it seemed to save the Show from cancellation)
….I enjoyed Severance overall, even through the bleakness …but uggggghhhh, cliffhanger endings as opposed to nicely tied up endings…..NOOOOOO….I got so into it that I forgot that it wasn’t going to conclude …
…I’ve just started to watch Bad Sisters which is pretty perfect in storyline and cast and characters …it zips along very nicely…
…I’ve started to watch The Crowded Room alongside Bad Sisters and I’m enjoying that too…they’re both so different because The Crowded Room is quite intense, while Bad Sisters has a much lighter vibe and ticks along so easily…they’re pretty much a perfect balance as TV watch partners….
…I haven’t really watched much of Tom Holland, he’s very good…
and then the climax .... slow horses :laugh:
…I haven’t really watched much of Tom Holland, he’s very good…
he had to take 6 months off after filming that role, it totally wiped him out emotionally. That's a true actor at work

…my theory atm, but I am just at the beginning of watching it…is that many/most/all of these characters in his life don’t exist outside of his own split personalities…the violent acts are all his but this is how his mind deals with it all and ‘rationalises’ it….

correct so far :laugh:

…hmmmmm, which would presumably mean that he was also the one who was bullying and abusing his mother as the stepfather was also his ‘invention…’…but yeah, it’s interesting and absorbing how he rationalises and reasons his actions through his personalities…

i think its a series that requires a rewatch, but i just couldn't by the end of it :laugh:
i think its a series that requires a rewatch, but i just couldn't by the end of it :laugh:
…the reason why my first thoughts were that the other characters are all his own personalities and how his reasoning deals with his actions…?…(…other than the obvious title of The Crowded Room…:laugh:….)….is that his quiet spoken and apparently peaceful character is so identical to the Edward Norton character in Primal Fear…I don’t know if you’ve ever seen that…?…and I think that character also had that ‘invented twin’ personality of representing his dark side and separating that gentleness from the evil…it’s so long since I’ve watched the movie but if I recall, these personalities in that character were invented because of their own abuse as victims and and the struggles to process that…
it's more complex than you think, but i'm not going to spoil it :laugh:
…I’ve got either two or three episodes of The Crowded Room to go, I can’t recall exactly…it’s a good watch, I’m completely riveted and it’s kind of fitted with my initial thoughts…but I’m not sure how it’s building to conclude… because I had thought…
…that his split/multiple personalities would then be shown to be something invented to fool Rya and that actually he maybe was a serial killer or something…but hmmmmm, no Ill scrub that theory and work on another one ….
…also still watching Bad Sisters…I’ll get back to that after The Crowded Room, I’ve got a bit distracted…
…I finished The Crowded Room ….and back to Bad Sisters, which has such a Desperate Housewives/black comedy vibe and I love the sisters…
…John Paul, though…is probably one of the most detestable characters of any series through time…loathsome and hateful man…

…I’ll have a little look at it…:laugh:…but I’m not sure that ‘political’ is my thing in terms of themes…I’m not sure that I’ve ever watched any type of political based storyline, I can’t think of one that I have…but I will give it a peak now…
