Started both The Rig and Mystery Road: Origin at the weekend. Both good to watch. The Rig has a terrific cast and a great sense of foreboding. Mystery Road is interesting with good characters and lots of Aussie outback dust.1

Started The Rig and couldn't believe how bad the acting was in it. The actress pouting around the broken oil rig, with a spotlessly clean white shirt on, shines out as the worst. Unless it is parody or spoof, and I'm missing it?Dugdaleclass said:Started both The Rig and Mystery Road: Origin at the weekend. Both good to watch.

Might sound a bit picky, but it looks like it has a big budget, so why not do the details?1 -
Found Mayflies a bit disappointing- started off okay but the second part wasn't great. The flashbacks didn't really work for me.PragueAddick said:
My Scottish mates are raving about itJints said:Watched the first episode of Mayflies yesterday. Absolutely outstanding.
I’ll get to it later. I have only just discovered how good is Tokyo Vice!
The cast was good but I think a better adaptation would have done the book justice.0 -
Don’t get to the end of The Rig and pretend I didn’t warn you a few posts ago …….!!!! Truly dreadful on a whole number of levels.Gribbo said:

Just read this - exactly how I saw itSillybilly said:
I sat down today on a wet afternoon with nothing to do but binge The Rig. I’m nearing the end of episode 3. Stellar cast. However, if cliché ridden, moralistic scripts, an abundance of CGI confused with 1980s B movie production values and ham acting of the most spectacular kind is your thing then you’re in for a feast. If it isn’t do yourself a favour and give this a massive swerve. The problem is it’s soooo appallingly bad that it’s actually quite addictive and I kind of want to see what happens…….TEL said:Started to watch Prime's " The rig" tonight.Watched the first two episodes and it looks promising.Episode two of 1923 and it's not grabbing me the way 1893 did, but will persist.1 -
Watched the first episode of The last of us. Very bloody good!1

Absolutely loved Yellowstone and have started 1923 but hadn’t heard of 1883. Will start binging that tonight!carly burn said:
Just seen a trailer for this!Jessie said:Anyone watching 1923? The sequel to 1883 and prequel to Yellowstone. I loved 1883 and this sequel is quite good too.
Never knew this was in the pipeline. If it's anywhere near as good as 1883 it will be a must watch1 -
Likewise. Really enjoyed it. Pissed me right off that you can't stream the whole series to binge it!cafc4life said:Watched the first episode of The last of us. Very bloody good!1 -
Very impressed with the Last of Us1

Traitors US on iplayer! As they say in Thailand, same same but different. Really enjoying it. Got Alan Cumming instead of Claudia Winkelman, exactly the same location and tasks (not a spoiler, this is clear from the first minute!), main difference is that half of the contestants are from reality TV shows. The dynamic is completely different, but just as fun to watch.0

Can someone give me a précis on Last of Us please. I know it is based on a computer game but I don’t know anything about said game.0

Basically a new take on the "end of the world" genre. This time its fungal virus which takes over the human brain and turns those infected into rabid killers (not quite zombies). Focus is on events after society has tried to rebuild and the discovery of a young girl who appears to be immune.MrOneLung said:Can someone give me a précis on Last of Us please.

How many episodes is it going to be? Might wait until I can binge it!Clem_Snide said:

Finished Severance the other day. Outstanding. Weird and, as you say, a bit Black Mirrorish in places, but really develops into an interesting and entertaining series. Adam Scott nails the lead and there’s a great support cast including John Turturro, Chris Walken and Patricia Arquette who are all excellent.blackheathaddick said:Watching Severance which is bonkers in a Black Mirror sort of way.
It had a small dip in the middle where it got a little slow, but the final three episodes are superb.

Tha last of us was a game changer or a game, truly beautiful they clearly put as much effort into the storyline as they did the gameplayMrOneLung said:Can someone give me a précis on Last of Us please. I know it is based on a computer game but I don’t know anything about said game.0 -
Just watched the first episode of The Last of Us. Very very much looking forward to next episode next week.3

Binge watched all 10 parts over 2 days. If the UK series was 10/10, this is probably 8/10. It’s a bit like having the best food ever but then ordering it again the same day. Always fun watching Americans being, well, American! Nicely overacted by Alun Cumming too.McBobbin said:Traitors US on iplayer! As they say in Thailand, same same but different. Really enjoying it.

Breaking Point - Netflix
The makers of drive to survive, tennis documentary where it goes through some of the up and coming players and shows how lonely Tennis can be as a sport. Recommend it for any sports lovers, only 5 episodes, so easy binge an think the next is released in June0 - Sponsored links:

Yeah there is more of a human and emotional element to it.Clem_Snide said:

Speaking of Drive To Survive and the new Tennis one on Netflix.They’re also doing one on Golf. Full Swing will be available from mid February and follows the PGA Tour.2

Traitors was pretty awful, but i still watched most of it. Surprised at its popularity here and elsewhere to be honest!0

A new series I can recommend highly is on Netflix-Woman of the Dead. It's German and the story is brilliant. It's the first of a triology about a female owner of a funeral business who loses her police husband in a hit and run. As one critic said its Kill Bill meets Dexter and goes off with The girl with the dragon tattoo!0

Anyone else got anymore feed back re The Rig?
As said earlier in the thread, I thought it was terrible, but going by other social media, I seem to be in the minority.....1 -

The Last of Us
First episode omg the feels. It's like stepping back to when the game first came out.
A pretty faithful retelling of the opening of the story.

They have kept to the storyline really well if this first episode is anything to go by. Adding in some nice touches of back story and filler to add to it all.Carter said:

Still shed a tear in the opening, just like when I first played the game.0
