6 episodes down and its really compelling and gripping, i just want to keep watching more to see how the story unfolds.
Definitely worth the watch, most episodes are 1hr long so yeah take that into account if you want to binge watch it.

Watched the first episode and it was quite good, but there was massive issues with audio for me? I’m not sure if it’s my tv cause I’ve never had this problem before but I could barely make out what they were saying half the time even with the volume really loud, it’s like some did a really crap mixing job??

It's like a YIFY torrent in sound quality, yes. Basically it's like it's optimised for a cinema rather than a home set up... The audio for voices is quiet compared to SFX so you either have to play the audio obnoxiously loud and upset your neighbours when the guns and explosions start, or constantly turn the sound up and down between dialogue scenes and action scenes.

IMO if you're watching alone, your best option is to invest in a decent 5.1 headset, which should eliminate both problems. If you're watching with someone else then your options are limited... You can try bumping up any "clear voice" type settings on your TV / sound system if they have them but that doesn't always help that much.

I've seen quite a few people complaining about this with Altered Carbon and a few other "action heavy" Netflix shows. It's like they think everyone is watching on a surround sound home theatre system with the volume up, basically.

Oh good, I’m glad it’s not just me then, I’ll try an ep with my EarPods (not buying a pair just to watch tv with :nono:) and if it doesn’t get any better ill give up, cba with that

Smithy 01-03-2018 04:28 PM

It’s better with my EarPods I’ve found. There’s an awful lot of vagina on show in this too, isn’t there

Wouldn’t necessarily agree with this :eyes:

I enjoyed it but a couple of episodes were definitely bordering on filler, I like they they’ve left it open for a possible second series, but a think it just being a one off would be nicer. Also the killer reveal was a tad underwhelming imo

ethanjames 04-03-2018 04:35 PM

watched the first 2 episodes really not my thing

You lad.

Smithy 04-03-2018 05:33 PM

I would smash her in I would!

Marsh. 04-03-2018 05:34 PM

Niamh. 04-03-2018 07:18 PM

I watched a few episodes of it but wasn't too impressed tbh

Marsh. 04-03-2018 07:20 PM

I can't believe that's him from the Killing. He always looked skinny on that show.

If you’re not gonna bother finishing it but want to know who the killer is...

I'm seven episodes in and I'm enjoying it, the first three episodes were bland but it gets way better.

8, 9 & 10 are like a 1, 2, 3 PUNCH

-Sue- 06-03-2018 10:20 AM

heh yes I needed alcohol to survive most of this tv series.. it does help to be blurry! lol its more confusing than most things I have watched that's for sure...

Mystic Mock 08-03-2018 05:24 AM

A TV Show version of Minority Report and Psycho-Pass.

Just please don't turn it into a Soap Opera or a Cop Show in disguise Netflix.

Edit... When I mean Cop Show I mean like an NCIS type of Cop Show as it wouldn't fit this show imo.
