…with Severance, I’ve just watched two more episodes and only have one more episode to watch, I think…it’s become very thrilling/nail biting, edge of your seat stuff and I’m really enjoying it now…/…so fickle…

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.

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)

[Ammi]

….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 …

[Ammi]

…I’ve just started to watch Bad Sisters which is pretty perfect in storyline and cast and characters …it zips along very nicely…

[Ammi]

…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….

[Ammi]

…I haven’t really watched much of Tom Holland, he’s very good…

[bitontheslide]

and then the climax .... slow horses

he had to take 6 months off after filming that role, it totally wiped him out emotionally. That's a true actor at work

Spoiler:

…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

…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…

Spoiler:

i think its a series that requires a rewatch, but i just couldn't by the end of it

Spoiler:

…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…….)….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…

[bitontheslide]

it's more complex than you think, but i'm not going to spoil it

[Ammi]

…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…

Spoiler:

…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 ….

[Ammi]

…also still watching Bad Sisters…I’ll get back to that after The Crowded Room, I’ve got a bit distracted…

[Ammi]

…I finished The Crowded Room ….and back to Bad Sisters, which has such a Desperate Housewives/black comedy vibe and I love the sisters…

Spoiler:

…John Paul, though…is probably one of the most detestable characters of any series through time…loathsome and hateful man…

Sloooooooooow horses

[Ammi]

…I loved Bad Sisters and would totally recommend…it was just a perfect balance of darkness and humour and a pretty fabulous soundtrack too…
