Can confirm that Mare of Easttown is well worth watching. Winslet is excellent and makes the usual 'cop with personal troubles' thing really believable.
I have read a couple of articles about the show and it was interesting that Winslet was the only non-US actor who was confident enough to switch between her on-screen Delco accent and her normal accent between takes.

Holy macaroni and praise be, may the lord open...
Not one episode
Not two episodes
Only three bloody amazing episodes of HMT season 4....
I feel like the pace has picked up a bit now, so much going on and theres going to be big moments and movements. I feel like we will see her safe in canada pretty soon.Jeez everybody just watch it now and fangirl with me. Commander Blaine has me all swoonie.

Didn't she throw away that opportunity in s2 after so much was sacrificed to get her there? Pretty sure I bailed soon after that.

@taniwharugby urgh your such a "commander" typical male response... 🙄
Pick it up again and watch it aaaaall, so good

I've quit on City on a Hill
Got to Episode 5 and noooothing was happening. There were approximately 40 little stories going on at once, but i didn't care about 39 of them. What i thought should have been the main premise actually gets the least attention. So fuck that show, i have better things to do with my time.
I think i am over TV.

my wife has started watching that from the start. the bits i saw over her shoulder looked depressing as fuck. i saw some shot where a bunch of women were herded in to what looked like an empty football stadium, and stuck in nooses, all very Eastern Europe circa 1943.
I don't think i need that level of dark in my life.
-
@mariner4life omg I cried my heart out to that episode, it had This Woman's Work as the soundtrack, remember it well. Aaaaaargh, your wife will love the latest eps when you guys can watch them, i cried again tonight. Give it another go, it can be depressing but its also got that cheer on the underdog vibe, like Gladiator..kinda.

nah i'm not watching it. she's too far in to wait for me. I'll take your word for it
yeah the music over the top was perfect, it was a beautifully created scene, but that's deep shit for me just wanting to switch off for an hour at the end of my day
-
@mariner4life oh no, oh no no no, this is not "switching off" TV. Move along and watch The Simpsons, you don't deserve HMT anyway.

wow. that's pretty harsh.
-
we'll be watching HMT, have to make sure we havent missed a season or something, seems like ages ago we watched it last
-
@kiwiwomble Yeah catch up on s3 and then dive into s4.
That's one thing i hate about good TV series now, that huge gaps between series and obviously covid messed that up even more.
-
@r-l yeah, was talking about this to the wife, even just back in the 2000's seasons (i noticed it when i watched West Wing again last year, 22 well written episodes a season) would be +20 episodes and so the time between the end of one season and the start of the next might only be six months...but now seasons are only 6-10 there is a much bigger gap and i struggle to keep up to date sometimes

Just finished series 2. Bloody good show. I am finding it strangely riveting.

For those in NZ, there's this thing called terrestrial TV. You can't stream it and you have to wait a week between episodes but I'm quite enjoying Vegas.
Quite dark both in its humour and cinematography. Comic book production and nice use of te reo
Watched the first and half the second. Not quite gelling with me yet. Overblown but not so much that it is obviously not taking itself too seriously. Would be really good if it hit that mark in the way Outrageous Fortune/Westside did.
By the way you can stream it. TVNZ OnDemand.

Speaking of dark NZ tv, anyone watching Creamerie yet?
-
@stockcar86 yes. I've watched Ep 1. Not sure at this stage. Will probably persevere. Interesting that a world ruled by wimmin has descended into proto-fascism. Already lampooning quite a few woke totems so gets a tick for that.

Being told by my very feminist workmates that I "need" to see it and it's a "must watch" has made me leery. It's not hysterical feminist nonsense is it?
