Just finished it, a little predictable at times but a solid enjoyable binge
We have given it and 8 out of ten
Never played the game
I'm heartened that people who haven't played the games have enjoyed it nonetheless. Occasional trolls notwithstanding. We have given it and 8 out of ten
Never played the game
For me, it is a love letter to gamers who have played the games. And I was worried that people who had not played them would be in the situation of "this is what you get for reading other people's mail". If that makes sense.
I am so glad that my worries were unfounded.

Is there anything like Jack Ryan, Reacher, Night Agent, Night Manager etc?
Not in to gangs/drugs, but love spy stuff and political/financial thrillers.
The answer to that is Slow Horses. It’s amazing and I think better than the ones you mention. But sadly it’s on Apple. Not in to gangs/drugs, but love spy stuff and political/financial thrillers.

I've not tried Fallout, mainly because I'm not a huge fan of apocalyptic zombie stuff.
Presume it's not really one for me?
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. 7/10Presume it's not really one for me?
I think I'm going to be the first dissenter for Fallout, we watched the first episode on Saturday and just not feeling it - not sure why but might give ep 2 a go and see if I can get into it a bit.

Robodoc - documentary of one of my favourite movies, Robocop.
Really enjoying this. Fascinating insight to the movie and a fair bit of ad libbing by some actors.
Oooo I hadn't realised this was on Prime, I'll check it out. Seen some clips of it and it looks very well done. Really enjoying this. Fascinating insight to the movie and a fair bit of ad libbing by some actors.
I'm struggling with Fallout. I'm not a gamer, and although I quite like zombie films, TWD bored me (too little story spread out for too long).
Anyway, I AM a huge fan of Walton Goggins so I really tried but by ep4 I found myself distracted and I've suspended watching the rest for now.
