@MN5 The last episode took until the 14th take to get it right I think. The actors do say it allows them to inhabit the character more and is more like a stage production vs traditional scene by scene acting.
That's a fair call. Easy to forget that stage actors do it like this all the time.

@MN5 Totally agree. I actually think its held back the series on what it was capable of somewhat.
It didn't hinder episodes 1 or 3, but 2 or 4 could have been much better done. The drive to the hardware store in episode 4 just went on and on and on .....
Kind of like me on TSF ...

@taniwharugby Speaking of Stephen Graham, his latest is technically exceptional, the fact each episode is one take is just bonkers. The actors are all so good and the content very interesting, especially if you have kids. I enjoyed it but seems you either love it or hate it. Plot is trying to understand why a 13 year old boy murders a young girl.
Very interesting

Adolescence. Watched this over the last 2 nights,
Conflicted opinion on this. Brilliantly acted, edited and produced but to me was all over the place. Was it something exceptonal or a collection of superb technical set pieces let down by a lack of a cenral idea/focus?
In many ways started off with a bang annd ended up with a wimper. Technically brilliant but, overall, over-hyped.
Opening episode was wild and simply incredible. the best TV I've seen in years. Episode 2 was good showing what goes on at the schools and set the scene for the the next episode (Ep.3) where the motive came out started to be explored with some extraordinary acting and writingSadly, that abruptly came to an end and we segued to Ep 4 - expecting some explanation and insight. Sadly we didn't but instead we got dross - a collection of kitchen-sink drama cliches and some poor acting. Left me feeling a bit cheated.

Yep, in retrospect a fair call

Wasn't sure about this at first, but episode 2 was great fun and Inception level shit.

Bondsman
Kevin Bacon hunting demons after coming back from Hell. 3 eps in.
Besides the episodic nature of the demon slaying, the plot about his past is being revealed at a nice pace.
And it's Kevin fucking Bacon
That show does look pretty good in the shorts, might have to add it to the list.
I heard he wasn't feeling too well when he was making it but glad to hear he's now fully cured

Kevin Bacon is 66 .. so is this like Ghost Rider on a Segway?

The Madness
Starts off with a bang, ends with a bit of a whimper. Pretty ho hum middle of the road entertainment.
Not entirely shit but you'll forget about it the moment you finish watching.
The Next Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones it most definitely is not.
Lead guy who plays Muncie ( has anyone ever met anyone called Muncie ? ) is pretty cool.

@Kiwiwomble Yeah - I don't like Apple the tech company... but I gotta admit Apple-TV do fucking good adaptations of books.

Just watched first episode of White Lotus S03
- fuck me, they do this shit well
- Agatha Christie x lots - just setting the scene of "something's going to happen" and characters and potential motives and all of that
- titwatch of zero. They could probably improve on that.

Most importantly, were you stoned?

It's @Kruse what do you think?

He normally mentions it, but didn't this time so I was worried for him

That’s very caring of you. I just assumed he was too stoned to know he was stoned.
