TV Series

According to reviews season 2 of the most expensive tv show ever made (Rings of Power) is also boring, lifeless slog. So much money thrown and writers still remain useless hacks (ditto for Acolyte and Witcher).

Not the reviews I have read. Empire Magazine, 5 stars, Film 4 stars and numerous reviews praising it.

I finally finished Ozark, I'm not as arsed about finishing it as I expected so that probably says something for the ending.

Maybe watch it before deciding?

I tried to watch first season and it was pretty but boring and judging by reviews (Wrap, Variety, Telegraph, Ign) this doesn't seem better.

Don't think I've ever once formed an opinon on a show/film by reviews alone. They're just attention seeking clickbaiters.

Is it worth watching series 2 of House of the Dragon ?

It’s really not very good. Could have been done in about 3 episodes. Dull, incredible slow pacing, boring characters, poor writing and barely anything happens.

So I would say no.

Thanks.

I wasn’t that fussed on the first one tbh.

If you didn’t like the first one then definitely don’t bother with the second.

I know what you mean but it’s slightly different when it’s a second season rather than a new show.

I thought the first season was rubbish and the reviews of the second suggest it has the same issues. Might still give it a go but I’m not expecting much from it at all.

And an awful ending

Oh first season had loads of problems, this one probs will too, I just give them the benefit of the doubt and watch first.

On episode 1 of this and its got a lot of promise.
Set in the insanely busy Shibuya crossing district of Tokyo, three nerdy drop-out lads get chased by cops for a minor street offense.

They hide in a cubicle in the train station and suddenly there's a power cut. They emerge and walk into an eerily deserted city... kind of like all the Romero post-apocalyptic zombie horror films. They are silently directed by lights to a "game" building and are then drawn into a twisted "Escape Room" type contest where the penalty for not solving the puzzles is death...

Think "Squid Game" meets "Dawn of the Dead" meets "The Running Man".

It's got characteristically warped Japanese humour, some nasty bad decisions and some ingenious puzzles that you'll want to rewind to work out.

Check it out.

Sounds right up my street

Just a couple of monents into Rings of power season two. What an utterly incoherent mess.

Terminator Zero anime dropped on Netflix. Got good ratings already.
