I've only watched the first two had no urgency to watch any of the others, same with Maze Runner. I enjoy the dystopian genre so give them both a go and tbh the first films weren't that bad and imo worth at least having a look. If you like a dystopian film have a look at 'The Platform' on netflix.
Series 3 of 'The Bear' out June 27th? Only just seen it advertised, thought it was excellent in the previous 2 series and hope this reaches the same heights!
I really enjoyed it mate! I've said on here before about me not always particularly finding humour in the episodes but I nearly always enjoy it as a short story regardless of if I would class it as a black comedy or not!
New series of 'The Bear'. Two episodes in and so far no drop off in quality. Excellent. Up there with one of my favourite tv shows for nonetheless reason than the characters are brilliant in my opinion, normal people with dysfunctional ****ed up lives.
Read a few mixed reviews on the new series but I gathered it was because there was more of a focus on Carmy at the expense of some other characters rather than because quality had dropped. Having seen the first episode of S3 there's absolutely no drop in quality and if they want to zero in on Carmy, who is the main character after all, that's fine by me. He's a fascinating bloke. Loved seeing all the high end food porn.
I stayed up until 2 last night and got to episode 8. Really good, a bit of a return to form with all the screaming at times but it's incredibly made.
Up to episode 5 right now and need to turn it off and go to bed! It's excellent again, Carmy and Richie are the best characters in that they have so much baggage. There does seem to be an emphasis a bit more on Carmy but not too much so far, it's maybe because is series 2 we had whole episodes dedicated to another character?
I knew I was ****ed at the first episode. I almost watched it in a trance. I don't think there were even a dozen lines of dialogue in it, just flew by like a ****ing freight train.
I tried the boys and couldn't get away with the Butcher's accent. Seems silly even saying it now but it was a horrible mix of different accents and grated on me. I keep telling myself to give it another go but never do. During covid I read the graphic novels (posh word for comic imo) of both that and the walking dead, the u tried to watch the boys and I think that made me worse for the accent being wrong!
I just love the story and everything that goes with it. Luckily I can move past the accent as it did my head in early on. Seems to just be cockney now! There was Australian and all sorts early on!!
I like it, one of those shows where the first series was the best and it's been steadily downhill from there but it was a high bar to start from and it's still a good watch. In a deadly serious drama Butcher's accent would have been a dealbreaker but it seemed to fit in The Boys, I got used to it anyway.
It was the Aussie accent that put me off, as I said I knew he was meant to be Cockney so the Aussie slipped in a few too many times. Must give it a go again.
I feel this way on both matters, still watching but my interesting is starting to dwindle somewhat but I absolutely loved it early on. The accent is God awful but I feel like somehow that's part of the joke, I'm not sure why.
One of my all time favourites. Pretty much every episode is of a good standard and there are a fair few which are exceptional.
I think you get gradually desensitised to the shock violence/sex which coincides with the show playing it safer plot wise as it goes along. So it tends to rely more and more on the shock factor to have an impact but for me at least no matter what batshit crazy stuff is happening I barely raise an eyebrow nowadays. The good thing is that it's wrapping up with series 5 so the gloves will be off and the stakes will be genuinely high again. I imagine half the cast will be killed off.
