Quintus 5,407 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah the downright horrible pacing is tiresome at times (once it lasted an entire season) and the sexpostition remains a childish ploy which further brings down the quality. Then there's the disjointed structure and lack of focus of recent seasons as they struggle to fit in the increasingly unwieldy source; it's surprising really that the show eventually still ends up to be as watchable as it is, but I'm perfectly aware that it's normally the big annual climatic cull which directly feeds that crude lust to be shocked (and entertained!), and I'm not sure how valuable that really is.

Jay 38,660 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Fall 1x01 Dark DescentMeh. My fiance Marcy loves all these British murder mystery shows, but I don't really watch any of them with her. This one, however, sold me at Gillian Anderson (who I noticed was more attractive than ever when watching Hannibal). And indeed the opening shot is of her butt as she cleans her apartment in somewhat skimpy clothes, which was nice. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there, as she investigates two murders in Belfast the police do not think are connected but she does, while we simultaneously follow the killer in question (so there's really no mystery) as he stalks and eventually kills his next victim. Ho hum. The show needs more Gillian, less creepy stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season two has some quality stuff, but there is a particular sub-plot that didn't need to exist, and the last episode of season 2 (which may be the entire series, not sure) was not particularly good.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,360 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Real BDSM and S&M doesn't actually work like that. There is a deep level of trust between the dominator and the submissive person. And limits, usually discussed and agreed upon beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glóin the Dark 1,271 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Wolf Hall...It is scintillating stuff. Apparently so. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/tv-and-radio-reviews/11351671/Wolf-Hall-episode-one-first-look-review.html The programme is brilliant all round, but Mark Rylance as Cromwell is captivating. I don't often have very strong opinions about actors' performances one way or the other (not to the degree that most people do, anyway), but in this he really does steal the show. The Fall 1x01 Dark Descent Season two has some quality stuff, but there is a particular sub-plot that didn't need to exist... Which subplot are you thinking of?

Dixon Hill 4,236 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well it's a gross misrepresentation of a lifestyle/practice. I can think of other groups that would be far more incensed by that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,456 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's a movie based on one horny woman's fantasy that just happened to sell a boatload of books. Obviously the book readers don't care about the false perceptions promoted by the books. Change the underlying story and you undermine their collective fantasy. It's sad that this crap will make so much money, but that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren 77 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think the problem is that Hollywood has glorified it and it's been talked up as a kinky romance. But really it's something that we should be showing as a thriller. Something like ...what was that movie Julia Roberts was in with the abusive relationship? Anyways.
