Hmmm. Been watching the episodes of La Brea on Paramount+ catch up.

 

Thought it might have the makings of a good bit of sci fi but, the plot lines seem predictable and I think I could have written them myself to the same level. Or maybe even a bit better?!

 

Disappointing 5 out of 10 and I think Im being a tad generous even then.

I'm just starting series 4 of Westworld and hope its much better than the steaming pile of turd of series 3. It's only redeeming feature(apart from fit birds getting naked) is the superbly sinister Ed Harris. If Thandie Newton says 'Darling' once more in that OTT posh English accent I will throw my computer through the window. Evan Rachel Wood does too much talking and not enough stripping.

I'm 3 episodes into season 3 and don't have a fucking clue what's going on.

Season 4 is what season 3 should have been ,if that makes sense.

I still really like it..it looks amazing even down to those opening credits.

They’ve just added another episode of Sandman on Netflix for anyone interested.

Yep, episode 11. Think it’s two stories in one with half the episode being animated.

Rarely can I recall watching such an uneven series of television. Some of those early episodes were excellent, most of the later ones were shite.

 

Smacks of "too many cooks" imo.

I don’t agree. The later episodes paled in comparison to episodes five and six but that’s only because those two episodes were absolutely superb. I thought the latter episodes were still very enjoyable though. 
 

It’s just the nature of following the comics. Some standalone storylines are better than the ongoing story. Loads of programmes are like that though, I liked the ‘monster of the week’ stories in The X-Files like ‘Tooms’ much better than the ongoing Alien conspiracy storyline but both were well worth watching. 
 

Just watched the latest episode anyway. The animated bit is just fluff, you could skip it and not miss anything but it’s only on for 15 minutes. The second part of the episode ‘Calliope’ is excellent.

Ok, so against my better judgement I've just watched this extra episode, and I can see exactly why it's an extra, because it doesn't really sit anywhere comfortably within The Sandman storyline (such as it was).

 

It also reinforced my earlier belief that there must be a huge dissonant team of writers because, once again, this episode was wildly different from all of the others.

 

Far better than most of the latter episodes, not as good as some of the earlier ones.

 

6/10 seems fair.

Speaking of which I've started The Old Man tonight with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow. It's about an agent who had to go off the grid 30 years ago and now someone is tracking him down. It's a decent opening episode, 7.5/10. 

The Old Man. I really enjoyed it. You would have to assume there will be a season 2 after the ending, because they've left it open enough to carry on. Bridges and Lithgow were both great and apparently bridges got cancer, followed by covid while on chemo in the middle of it and they lost a year filming. Fair fucks to bridges though, you would never know what he's been through on screen. Hopefully season 2 will be easier and with us quickly. 8/10

Sandman.

 

Thought it was ok if you can get over the woke shit and turning John Constantine into a lesbian woman

 

Why not just create a brand new character rather than gender bending one which tunrs out to be a poor imitation of the original?

Watch the last episode of series 3 and start season 4. You will have missed not much at all.

Depends on whether season 4 is worth it.

It's certainly much better. Still muddled but less so.

Not sure if I can be arsed mate. Well into Gomorrah now and going back to Westworld after an episode of that just depresses me.

Personally I thought its been the best one since the 1st and potentially the last.

It was a different character. It’s from the comic.

Jenna Coleman plays two characters, both called Johanna Constantine. The one in the past is the different character but the one in the present is a replacement for John. It seems to be largely due to legal rights to the character.

Just finished the third series of Code 404. 

 

Daft, undemanding and very, very funny police/sci-fi comedy on Sky.
