Jay, please don't make such comments as this when you don't understand the facts yourself.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Mrs. Pilgrim and I are finally up to date on the first two seasons of Broadchurch. A properly dour British take on the Twin Peaks formula minus the supernatural. There are some deliciously hateful portrayals of media vultures and despicable defense attorneys.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The Crown (Seasons 1 and 2) So what's that about little old me not being interested in shows without sci-fi/fantasy/horror elements? Pfft, well I just watched The Crown, baby! But did I love it? Well it was addictive enough, although some episodes weren't quite as good as others, like the wimpy little Prince Charles goes to boarding school episode. Although Queen Elizabeth II is the central character of the show, she's not always centre-stage, rather it often focuses on people around her like Philip, Churchill, her father, her sneaky snarky duplicitous uncle, a few other PMs, and her sister Mags steals a few whole eps of her own! I think this show's only real weakness is its attempts to sensationalise the Queen's role in historical world events, when really she can't do all that much, rather she just stands around in her palace living room reacting all wide-eyed to reports from the PM and sitting there watching tele with her corgis and her old chook going "my, how dreadful!" I liked how it accentuated her insecurities about her education, which paid off when she met Jackie Kennedy. Just makes it seem more melodramatic than it really is with Hans Zimmer's severely urgent score blasting away, almost making the show's theme sound like something from Batman. I really enjoyed Claire Foy, Matt Smith and Vanessa Kirby, so I'm a bit miffed about the bizarre decision to shake up the cast for Season 3 - like, srsly?

rough cut 1,714 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Speaking of DC Universe... I thought Titans was really good. It felt like a mix of old school The Crow and Snyder’s Watchmen. I know the show took a lot of flack from reviewers for being... something (I don’t think I could find any consistency in the criticism)... but I think it was undeserved. It had a good script, good actors, was coherent, felt like an untold story and wasn’t too schmaltzy. Definitely worth checking out! Swamp Thing is different. It’s kind of like The X-files but with elements of 80’s slasher movies thrown in there. Sadly, it also has the standard soap opera elements (as you’d find in Shield, The Flash, Supergirl etc etc), but it doesn’t bog the show down too much. Swamp Thing is fun, in a B-horror movie kind-of-vibe, that I suspect is not unintentional - but unless you pick that vibe up, you’d probably hate this. I am a little bit sad that it got cancelled.
