In summary, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!”. Seemingly a Victorian Superhero piece, transforming into unintelligible scifi bollards at the last minute. A review I read prior to getting started described it as “a mess”, and that’s certainly how it ended – though there was enough in it to keep us …
It’s been a true epic in many senses, however we finally made it through to the end of Season 1. I think I’ve come to accept that this show is fundamentally a historical-fantasy-soap-opera, and realistically the plot doesn’t tend to develop *very* far in any given episode. However I’m still …
So… TECHNICALLY I shouldn’t put this in a roundup, because we haven’t finished watching it. However it really rates a mention, owing to the fact that in its original broadcast form I believe each episode is movie-length. What Netflix cunningly did, to make it more bitesize, was to edit it …
It’s weird, isn’t it? As a kid you see a character in a film and think “I’d like to know more about them”. Then – years later – someone puts together a series that gives you a load more detail that you once craved, and it feels a bit like …
Hmm, seems I forgot to write anything about the first 2 seasons of this, also. Conflicted on this one – season 3 felt like it had some really confused/stationary moments… but at the same time there’s something incredibly compelling about the characters and their relationships, and particularly Jodie Comer’s Villanelle. …
Thoroughly good fun screen adaptation of the Pratchett/Gaiman story of Aziraphale and Crowley – a pairing of functionary angel & demon who’ve worked together since the time of creation to make their lives easier and achieve better results. What’s great about this is the amount of fun the ludicrously good …
Having suffered through Season 8 we decided to make sure we weren’t being nostalgic or rose-tinty about our glasses, etc. and so for the third time (I think) we started all the way back at episode 1 of series 1 and made our way through. It’s still gripping and compelling …
I feel like I’ve already covered this. Season 8 was a tremendously disappointing finish to the television highlight of the decade for the simple fact that the style of storytelling changed completely at the end of Season 6 and the showrunners rushed it: meaning that vast chunks of potential plot …
This is going to sound a bit stupid, but we re-watched Season 7 prior to watching Season 8 in order to get our heads back into the GoT story so that Season 8 would see us moving at running speed without having to remember what “just happened” (i.e. from 2 …
