The only thing wrong with it is it got a bit cliched at the end,with the bully,and the gay lads dad coming around otherwise it was decent
TV Series
- Thread starter Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian
- Start date
After reading all the reviews about it on here started - the Punisher.
It`s much better quality than I expected and well put together.
It`ll tide me over until I can watch the whole of True Detective 3 in one go.

Been watching the 1980 Miniseries Shogun recently (in small portions, it's x10 hours long!)
Was curious about it as I had never viewed it before and find anything related to that era of Japan fascinating.
Visually rich, with an admirable scope and veneration of Japan and it's culture. All shot on location as well. A fish-out-of-water tale of a shipwrecked English lord who is stranded in 16th century feudal Japan and is at first resistant to, then finally embraces the Japanese ways.
Some of the casting isn't so good and the acting is shoddy in some parts - Chamberlain isn't too great (apparently the original choices were Connery or Moore!) and some of the English-speaking support is weak. The Japanese cast however are terrific…. strangely there is no subtitles when they are conversing. The producers apparently felt it would help reinforce the English character's sense of helplessness and confusion being stuck in such an alien environment... Imagine trying that on a modern-day audience, let alone in 1980. Enjoyable show though.... plenty to like about it.
Exciting that it's been picked up for a remake... hopefully it is on the lines of HBO'S Rome in terms of the epic scale, political intrigue, class system divide and of course lashings of "modern" sex and violence.

This latest True Detective is a bit of a slog.
Gonna stay with it but it's a long slow watch.

If you want a quick fix of quality watch Russian Doll on Netflix, its great.

The Last Kingdom season 3. The jump in quality from the first two seasons is staggering. I really enjoyed it.
The only problem for me is the same issue I have with GOT. Because l love the books so much the tv shows often feel rushed and miss out things that I consider to be important moments. It's a great show but not a patch on the books it's based on imo.
For what it is 7.5/10.
