Watched the last one last night...we were hooked and we loved it.

Spoiler:

…the pacing for sure in one aspect that I’m not gelling with…I don’t generally watch series based on movies so I guess that I thought it would be more of an expansion of the character and adding in to a storyline..things that a movie can’t really give so much because of running time restrictions etc…?…anyway, it doesn’t seem that at all and is just following the same storyline…but so far for me, the killings of Freddie and Dickie have been too drawn out in terms of hiding the bodies…two whole repetitive episodes devoted to just that…and it’s also no longer feeling credible in how/why the boat kept going around and around in the same circle and coming back to hit Ripley in some form…all potentially deadly blows and yet he survived it all and is perfectly unbothered health wise from it…I started to feel a little gripped but then found it all became tedious very quickly…also, I think to have shown the ‘technicolour’ of the Amalfi Coast setting and its beauty etc…but then also, see the darkness of the character within that colour…?…would have worked better for me than the black and white that was chosen…that doesn’t offer any contrast at all of light and dark and beauty of setting with ugliness of character…anyways, I’m not sure I’ll go back to it, as much as I love Andrew Scott…I don’t think the series is for me…

…I love being hooked on a series and that feeling of just needing to watch until the end and anticipating each next episode…I’m not feeling that with Ripley atm, but I’m glad that you did…it really is a great feeling……

Oh I've fallen way behind, just 1 episode in to S3

Rate my takeaway.

He's just done my local chippy. The chippy I go to.

…I’ve started to watch Sugar, which I think is going to be pretty excellent…but there are only three episodes released so far, so I’ll have to watch it in real time or wait until ends to binge it…but very good watch so far and I love the Sugar character…

…this one has all the episodes released and it’s great and fun watch so far and zips along very quickly…it has lots of threads but they don’t make it complicated to follow…

…atm, I haven’t got past the first opening scenes of Dexter and think hmmmmmm, maybe it’s not for me…

I loved the moodiness of the black and white…I mean there were flaws in the story…but I enjoyed it.

Did it get a good review?

Tbf I had a feeling that might not be your kind of Show.

Have you ever watched Dark? It's a Sci-Fi German Show on Netflix.

It's a three Season run, and it's definitely completed.

The cast is fantastic, and it's completely unpredictable

…yeah, it’s a good storyline and Ripley is a very dark and cold character…Andrew Scott plays him very well and it has everything I would usually love to hold interest and enjoy it…?…I’m not sure why I couldn’t get with it and I think it’s probably mainly that it follows the same storyline as the movie…somehow I thought it would expand out from the movie, that’s probably down to me, though…I think that it’s probably one of the first times that I’ve watched a series that was movie based, so I didn’t know what to expect….anyway, I’m glad that you enjoyed it because it is a compelling story and the cast was excellent…

I've watched the first couple of episodes of Fallout.

I am liking it so far, it reminds me of an old school Sci-Fi Channel effort from back in the day.

And as a side note, Ella Purnell can join Rebecca Ferguson from Silo in attractive leads in Science Fiction over recent years.

I'm thinking of the important stuff, as you can see.

…hmmmmm, I think that I might have watched Dark actually, Mock…it was a long time ago and I don’t recall much about it but it’s sounding and looking familiar from the synopsis I just read…

…unpredictable, yes……wacky, weird and wonderful…I only found it because it came up on an ad for me…it’s based on a video game, right…?….

[LaLaLand]

There’s a channel on my freeview that shows old programs/series and they show two episodes of Prisoner (Cell Block H) every night so I’ve been watching those recently.

Brilliant show for its time. Lizzie Birdsworth was a fantastic character.

[Ammi]

…ahhh, Prisoner of Cell Block H was another show that I never experienced and is meant to be so good…

Rebecca is in the Dune films as well, she's great

Fair enough.

Do you like Horror Shows like American Horror Story, or The Haunting Of Hill House?

I knew that there was another strong aspect in the Film away from Jason Momoa's character.

…I loved The Haunting if Hill House…(…and more or less all of Mike Flanagan’s productions…)…I liked the AHS seasons that I watched but I haven’t watched them all because I wasn’t always able to stream them at the time…and just haven’t gone back to revisit those I didn’t see, I guess…

[Ammi]

…I finished the series, Fallout…it was weird and wacky and wonderful and zany and just…incredibly fun…/…I loved it…it kept the pace from start to finish, it never dipped off at all……

[Ammi]

…I’ll continue to watch Sugar as I’m enjoying it…

[Niamh.]

Finished S3 of Unforgotten

Spoiler:

That was a terrifying season, first time ever I was able to pinpoint exactly who did it straight off, he was such a sinister character. The actress who plays Cassie is so good as well, she made me want to cry just watching her have her bit of a break down

Tbf, I've only fully watched Murder House and Asylum.
