Agreed. Im not hugely into sci fi and in some ways i prefer the ridiculousness of a Star Trek more than something like the Expanse. I watch sci fi as an escape - something seemingly so far removed from reality that it is exactly that. Once it takes itself too serious and too close to the depressing parts of society today I tend to lose interest.The expanse was a good show but i wouldn't want to overhype it personally.
Its great if you love sci fi but i'm not sure someone who doesn't would get much from it. I'd say 8/10 occasionally hitting a 9.
If you mean Rings of Power? First season is ok. Second season is an improvement all around.Is Lord of the Rings worth a watch? Tapped out after 4 or 5 episodes of the first season. Did it get better with the second season?
How is expanse compared to something like Battlestar galactica, that's still the best sci fi show imo at least until the last 2 or 3 seasons. Its not necessarily about the sci fi for me though, the space battles and stuff are cool but its kind of like a darker mass effect, more character driven dealing with a lot of political and ethical crisises that showcase how fecked up humanity is, especially when fighting for survival.
Justified, Generation kill, Banshee, The Shield, Black sails, Rectify, Rome, Deadwood, Sons of anarchy, Oz, Six feet under etc. If you haven't seen any of these definitely have a look expect some of them are quite underrated now because they are old, other than the obvious in the wire, sopranos, breaking bad etc some of the best TV shows you will see.
This.Honestly wanted this to be the case but it lost so much gravitas when Miller was gone.
It’s still quite shite; background noise level at best.Is Lord of the Rings worth a watch? Tapped out after 4 or 5 episodes of the first season. Did it get better with the second season?
I love one tree hill. Dont know how i feel about the reboot thoughI may be wasting my time, but any One Tree Hill fans in there ?
Saw something about a possible Netflix Reboot weeks ago.
Finished it, thought it was very good.3 eps in to The Penguin , I think its excellent, Colin Farrell is very good.
Best series of last year for me, alongside Shogun.3 eps in to The Penguin , I think its excellent, Colin Farrell is very good.
Just finished this, one of the best things I've seen in years.Started watching The North Water with...Colin Farrell as well. Even though he is not as unrecognizable physically in this - he once again shows how much of a chameleon he is playing entirely different characters. Well and truly one of the greatest actors of his generation.
If you're a fan of moody previous century shows or those with naval settings like The Terror S1, Master and Commander, In the Heart of the Sea etc - you ll probably like this. I honestly can't quite get enough of those types of shows and movies. Not sure how I missed this when it first came out. Hopefully it is not one of those shows that results in an unsatisfactory conclusion because so far they are doing a very good job building up the characters and atmosphere.
You're in for a treat.Starting season 2 of Loki, season 1 was very good.
I love one tree hill. Dont know how i feel about the reboot though
I actually think it compares quite well to BSG. Both very good quality (particularly for sci-fi TV) and both have interesting political and social storylines that develop over the course of the series
BSG fans should like it and vice versa
I thought it was excellent.Watched the first couple of episodes of Sugar, starring Colin Farrell as a private detective investigating the disappearance of a girl who is part of Hollywood royalty. A modern homage to the Humphrey Bogart movies. A friend recommended it and I'm enjoying it so far.
It was excellent, Marvel at its best I think.You're in for a treat.
