Finished The Lazarus Project and really liked it. Well worth a watch I reckon and found the way they wound it up pretty neat. But worrying to see they haven't even announced if they're going to renew it though.
Really? It's worth it? I enjoyed S1E1, then it faded very, very fast for me. Didn't make it past S1E3. Should I persist?

I kinda feel like I already answered that...
I did watch it after seeing people saying they gave up on it. So maybe I'm just contrarian.

Finished the latest season of Stranger Things.
Still an enjoyable series, although thought it was a bit slow in parts.
I hope they have some good ideas for the next season, cos if not they blew the perfect opportunity to finish it there with a slightly different end that would have finished things pretty tidy.

Just trying the series remake of Man who fell to earth.
Anyone with a heads up on quality?Edit: not a remake. More like a sequel many years later. Bill Nighy plays the David Bowie character
To continue this after two eps.
Very well made and acted. If you are into sci-fi that poses questions rather than being space battles or a premise for an action movie then you'll probably like it. Kind of show I need to be in the right mood/level of tiredness to enjoy.

Resident Evil
Fucken LOVED the games on the Playstation, the Movies were a mixed bag of rapidly declining quality……..( actually so were the games )……so anyone seen this on Netflix and is it worth a hoon ?
( I’m sure I’ll watch it anyway but I’ve found the fern to be pretty good at reviewing shows on the whole )
Quoting yourself on the fern, it doesn’t get sadder than that.
This is actually pretty good though, jumps between two timelines which seems to be the cool thing to do in shows/movies these days. SFX good, some nice gore…..the earlier timeline when the main characters are at school is a little bit “teen angst” though.

Episode 1 of The Old Man
Fucking Rad
Violent as shit.
-
-
@Bovidae I'm 2 eps in, but am switching between that and the latest season of The Boys (upto 5 on that I think)
-
@taniwharugby I am behind those Amazon shows (The Expanse, The Boys, Bosch) but will resubscribe at some stage. It will take me a while to watch them when I do. Meanwhile Netflix has enough to keep me entertained until then.
-
@Bovidae Yeah I had downloaded Bosch ages ago, but haven't watched it yet.
The Boys is mental!

I've only got the last season and Legacy to watch. A really good show.
The Boys is mental!
The first two seasons were great fun!

Even trying to pace myself, I watched the last available episode last night... but looking into it - Episode 8 should be released tonight, or overnight? (It looks like it's probably the finale - which means I've actually paced my watching perfectly. Sweet.)
They do a fucking good job of balancing story-development/violent-as-shit/investiture-in-characters. And while I've become EXTREMELY jaded about flash-backs with some of the shit movies I've watched this year... in this - I was actually looking forward to the flashback scenes.
(Spoiler - after Episode 1 - there are flashback scenes. It shouldn't come as any surprise in a show about an old man who clearly has a 'past", but if you're a fucking idiot... sorry.)I see a Season 2 has been green-lit... I'm not sure about that, but... willing to give it a go.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised that for the flashback scenes they bothered to get younger actors who plausibly could have matured into the older versions.
I like how they’ve quite cleverly managed to position John Lithgow as someone you can invest in even though he’s the “baddie” while the “goodie” Jeff Bridges has some pretty major moral failings.

Yeah - I'd forgotten that, as I've just become used to it, and taking it for granted...
the casting of the younger versions was spectacular.
And the coaching of voices/mannerisms - fucking well done. Perhaps - as @Crucial suggests - to a fault, or over-done, at times.
Not really a spoiler, but, I know some are sensitive to such things...
(To be fair - I remember reading a review of The Usual Suspects, and it roughly described the concept/plot - and then said "oh, and the twist is awesome" - and that was enough to guess what the "twist" was. So... better safe/v/sorry)
##spoiler
One thing which I thought was over-done... even though it was only really said a couple of times - but in relatively short succession - near the beginning - somebody stating the old "you never know if you're the villain of the story" or "everybody's the villain in somebody else's story" - or something like that. The first time made sense, but the second time it was said - it seemed deliberate, and a bit of a sledgehammer "remember this line was said right at the beginning, you fucking idiots".

Just started watching this.
The Dude is certainly more onto it and violent as an older man that’s for sure.
