I absolutely hated Walt but he was a fantastic character. I'm still plodding along with The Wire, I'm on Season 2, it's not bad and I'll eventually finish it but I don't love it

the wire has some great actors, but i just lose interest in it after watching a few shows, and come back to it after a break

Yeah that's been the way I've been with it too

Soprano's took me a while to get into but I flew through it after about half way through Season 2

…I never watched The Sopranos or The Wire…one of the older ones I really want to watch is Band of Brothers…the only places that I can find it are to pay for it, though…and it’s quite expensive for the series…

I'd definitely recommend the Sopranos more than The Wire, have never watched Band of Brothers either

So it gets better as the seasons go on you think?

Things like The Wire were brilliant back in the day but if you watch now with all the shows and advancements in TV you have accrued since the show was made you will find it more of a struggle

I was the same with the Soprano's but once I got into it I loved it, have tried to Wire once or twice cant seem to get going with it

…there’s a miniseries starting in 15 March on Apple…it’s a fictional story but centred around the killing of President Lincoln…I saw the trailer yesterday and it looks very good…

Youtube video

Apple TV consistently come out with great new content. I've finished episode 4 of Constellation and it's very good

Ammi 04-03-2024 04:20 PM
…they’ve had some great series and I’m waiting to watch Constellation as I want it to air the full season first…and Masters of Air is a good watch, but I’m also waiting for that to catch up and I’ll watch it when it’s all aired…Manhunt is just a miniseries so it should release very quickly, if not all at once…

Has anyone watched all of the Netflix One Day yet ? , I binged the rest of the series early hours of Sunday morning.

I'm curious to read the book to compare the 2 and I wonder if Dexter & Emma's parents ever meet in the book. I find it confusing we never see that in the series :conf:. Yet Emma had met his parents several times ,and even spent Christmas with them all .

heard the movie had mixed reviews. I don't think I'll like the movie as much, seen a few trailers for it and it seems meh . The netflix series feels better and more deep , especially the way the 2 lead actors interact & the chemistry. Some episodes are better than others of course. But that's bound to happen with a series with 14 episodes.
The music score was good aswell, especially the emotional filled ending.


Spoiler:

One of my favourite episodes is Probably Tilly's wedding, and then seeing Dexter & Emma finally get together and him starting his new cafe business. And Emma being a published successful writer.


As I'd never read the book & never seen the movie,I was surprised by the sad crushing ending. I guess it's a lesson to take from it ,to never waste time and make the most of life . Emma & Dexter kept humming & AHH ing about their real feelings for eachother. And every other fling / romantic relationship they had with other people were just rebounds .


But they were always in eachother's lives. And clearly cared about
eachother, they had the best idea by starting as best friends . It's
just ashame by the time they realised they should be together ,it was short lived,and ended in tragedy sadly.

I suspected it wouldn't all be rosy and happy unicorns in the end, when Emma was caught in the rain & delayed to meet Dexter on her bicycle,I thought oh no here we go.

Spoiler:

…yeah, the moment we saw her on her bike and late, I think we all knew…I’m still feeling quite broken from it all, she was such a difficult character to lose because we as viewers could feel that light that shine from her…

Some Shows for some reason are really hard for you to personally get into.

I have it with Buffy The Vampire Slayer even though it actually ticks quite a few boxes for me on paper.

Heavy Metal theme tune.

Attractive lead that kicks butt.

Some funny jokes.

Strong lore.

Giles.

Faith.

But for some reason I can't get into it.

I think the last time I'm blaming on Xander being an Incel in my perception of him.:laugh:

Just finished it

Spoiler:

That was awful, how could they do that??? Poor Emma, why couldn't it have been Dexter? :laugh: But seriously that was heartbreaking, I wish it was a happier ending, after all that time waiting for them to finally get together too

Spoiler:

…seriously, my heart wasn’t the same after that moment…I wanted to rewind it and change it…I’m not sure that a TV death has impacted me so much for as far as I can recall, she was such a character that lit up the screen and the story…and her loss was just so felt…if we loved her so much, how must he have felt…

Spoiler:

I know, when ep.13 came on and Emma is in it again I thought she'd survived until they put the date up and it was a flash back to that Christmas she'd spent at Dexters parents, then i was sad again seeing his mother alive. :bawling:

…even having her back like that in flashbacks, I thought yeah…I’ll take that, even…if it’s all there is, I’ll have it…but then they took that away as well…
