Outer Range series 2 is just as odd as series 1.
The overriding thing I'm having trouble with it is the characters' continuous secrecy - none of them talk to one another. They create drama just because of this - it's tedious really.
That said, this series has moved the story forwards a bit but it really could have been done in a single 90 minute film.
I tried watching season 2, looks like i'm going to have to re-watch season 1 because I have absolutely no idea what the bloody hell is happening!! So, that'll have to go on my to do list as I can't be arsed with it at the moment.The overriding thing I'm having trouble with it is the characters' continuous secrecy - none of them talk to one another.

Watched some Amazon own-brand romcom thing with Anne Hathaway in it the other night. Because it had Anne Hathaway in it.
It was beyond dire.
What's happened to her career?
Nothing, I read that they asked dher to do a sequel and she was like "No, I'm good" so clearly was happy with the paycheck and based on what they made not interested in doing more. It was beyond dire.
What's happened to her career?
It's done well in terms of views so it's technically "successful" I guess.

Same hereIt's been 2 years since S1 and I've no clue at all at times. Having to re-remember names, faces and plot lines again is proving hard work.

They do, but they are increasingly buying content from elsewhere and charging extra to watch it.
I assume that when they introduced Prime Video they were 100% buying content from elsewhereMine's just come up for renewal, and I shan't bother. Netflix and NowTV provide what we want, and we only rarely watch Prime (and much of that has been 'limited series' so they've ended anyway).

Just watched a 2012 series called Hunted - the ending let it down a bit but it was a solid spy/criminal/political thriller otherwise. Looks like it might have been on the BBC in it's day as they are listed as co-creators so you might have seen it. 7/10
Just watched this on your recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it well worth a watch.

I gave up very early in season one when it became evident that the writers had no idea what the bloody hell was going on either. My wife watched it to the end. Out of spite, I think, but I notice that she's not put season 2 in her watchlist.
It very much reminds me of mid-season Lost when the writers clearly were just making it up as they went.Tankrizzo said:

I always got the feeling that the public had guessed what Lost story was, and they decided to just go anywhere with it and try and pull it all back in the end... And failed
Compare that to the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica where Ronald D. Moore had a vision from start to finish. Although, granted, there were some filler episodes. But there was a story arc that had been planned and he wasn't just making s
t up as he went along. Although the ending was a little trippy for sure. As for Lost, I fear Game of Thrones went the same way once the writers ran out of source material and were on their own. The final season was a s
tshow. But I digress. boxst said:
Slightly off-topic and ranty: I was happily rewatching "Life in Pieces" (which is awesome if you haven't seen it) this morning via Prime and now it is £2.49 an episode. Very annoying.
They did that recently with Letterkenny, which I was going to recommend on here for anyone who liked Trailer Park Boys - but it's switched to pay per episode now I'm half way through the second series.It's annoying that there's no warning if you're mid-series.
I'm finding there are loads of foreign language series that are well worth watching with subtitles. However I'm coming across some that are unwatchable because instead of the original language and English subtitles it's been dubbed in English and the dubbing is just excruciating. Not even up to the terrible "White Horses" standard. I just bailed on "Who Killed Him" which was very highly rated and showed promise. I reckon in the original Spanish with English subtitles it would have been fine.

You can choose to watch shows in the original language with subtitles. You're not stuck with dubbed audio, which is universally st.21st Century Man said:
