first two eps of SILO were indeed promising, I hear good things about the books and the cast looks fantastic

by El Gunner Sun May 07, 2023 10:57 pm

yea just finished the first episode of Silo, looks legit

by BarrileteCosmico Mon May 08, 2023 5:14 pm

I read the silo books when they came out like 10 years ago. I remember liking it a lot and the broad strokes, although not any details any more.

It was self published on Amazon (ie no publisher thought it was good enough to pick up). Wild that it got its own apple show from such humble beginnings.

by RealGunner Mon May 08, 2023 10:16 pm

Love post-apoc stuff so will definitely check it out. Looks very promising.

Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled like jericho which I thought was excellent but ended nowhere.

Justified showrunner/creator is behind it too Proud

Hmm....that's pretty much sold me on it then. I'll give it a go.

The latest Succession episode was really hard to follow and almost chaotic. i think the whole election plotline was a bit heavy-handed.

by El Gunner Mon May 15, 2023 10:22 pm

really? i think everything's been top notch for 4 episodes in a row now

by Vibe Tue May 16, 2023 5:08 am

I am barely watching, entire season 4 is a massive drop for me.

Is it just me or has the second season of From been dogshit so far?

by BarrileteCosmico Mon May 22, 2023 6:20 pm

@pedram and they followed that up with the worst Lost episode ever. Such an uneven show lol

by El Gunner Mon May 22, 2023 9:06 pm

Killer Ken :bow:

you could see the respect in Mencken's eyes after that eulogy

Shiv has also been awesome this season, will be interesting to see how Jesse Armstrong and his team decided to end it

Ray Stevenson, a prolific actor who recently portrayed the villain in the Oscar-winning Tollywood hit RRR, died yesterday, his publicist has confirmed to IGN. He was 58. https://t.co/HLsFNOVYB7 pic.twitter.com/73u2JeCZbY

Damn this is really sad. I've enjoyed just about everything I've seen him in. RIP.

THIRTEENTH!

absolutely atrocious yeah

5 episodes of padding and nonsensical characterization

RIP Stevenson, I will get around the Black Sails one day, ROME was fantastic

by elitedam Tue May 23, 2023 2:07 am

RIP Ray Stevenson.

Rome was insanely good and still holds up really well. I think if it came out a few years later, we could've gotten the five seasons it deserved.

I also loved him in Dexter. One of the few bright spots during the later seasons.

Shiv is gonna get fucked by Matsson, Tom will become the American CEO imo.

Glad i gave The Office a 4th or 5th chance... starting from season 2 this time instead of somewhat boring season 1

Great show after all

by RealGunner Sat May 27, 2023 11:49 pm

Is Ozark good? Started it and on episode 3 but it feels like a poor man's Breaking Bad

Yea trust me. Stick with it. Season 1 was it trying hard to be the UK version but since season 2 it starts becoming it own self.

It really is one of the greatest dramedy/sitcom ever.

I mean if you compare to BB 97% of shows will look bleak. But yes it's great and a fun watch

It gets better if you give it time

It's legit a good show overall. Scratches that Breaking Bad itch. I would call it an upper middle class man's Breaking Bad.

yes, it's exactly that (i only watched one or two episodes and made that conclusion)

by Warrior Sun May 28, 2023 12:04 pm

Watched the first 5 or 6 episodes of both series and prefered Ozark, in fact i had the intention to keep watching but then i got hooked by that lumberjack reality show and forgot everything else Laughing

might resume Ozark at some point this summer

It's Breaking Bad's scenery that seemed rather low budget, everything is beige and the acting is not very charismatic.

Succession ending:

what y'all think of the ending?
