New Hamster series just Dropped.
You know how James May generally makes good solo shows (oh, cook excluded)? Well this is another of Hammonds solo efforts that's nothing like Mays.I watched a bit of the first episode of Shipwrecked but it was just flashing between the island and the interview in what seemed like never ending scene setting with bad acting and implausible shipwreck finds like the power tools.
It seemed as if it was trying to combine Top Gear, Mythbusters and Brainiac and somehow hitting upon the worst of all of them.
I set out really wanting and expecting to like it, but it was cringeworthy. I was thinking of skipping to episode two to see if it gets into some sort of rhythm just showing the characters building things, but apparently it doesn't.

I don't think Hammonds show is for us somehow. I think it's more for people whos years on this planet are counted in single digits.
What irks me the most, is the budget is just too high, if there was a scrap heap challenge feel it would feel more natural, over machines made by a engineering company.Macroni18 said:

Who ever suggested Bates Motel thank you. We started last night on season one and watched 7 episodes.
On season 2 now, brilliant series.smn159 said:
I like a cerebral film as much as anyone, but I'm not quite sure what people who hated Greenland were expecting from a film starring Gerald Butler about a giant comet coming to destroy the planet.
Anyone who watched it and was disappointed by it hasn't been paying attention.
I suspect I will hugely enjoy itAnyone who watched it and was disappointed by it hasn't been paying attention.

Anyone watched Jurassic Galaxy?
Stars:
a Poundland Mark Hamill as a prison lifer
The offspring of Peter Dinklage and Karl Urban who likes he’s constantly confused as a security chief
Token totty with a nice rack as bridge crew
Assortment of s
t CGI dinosaurs that randomly change size and sometimes look like they’re skateboarding.
Despite Lexx levels of acting and Hollyoaks standard of writing, it’s actually quite a fun brain-out B-movie about survivors from a spaceship trying to escape a planet where dinosaurs are the dominant species.

I think that is literally the description of Sigourney Weaver‘s character in Galaxy Quest.
Things i've watched....
Greenland (as someone mentioned, Kermode gave it a nod in the right direction, without giving loads of praise) and my wife and kids (13 & 15) actually found it pretty watchable.
It had enough moments of dispair and anguish to distract from the actual realism, although the ending was a little bit of a letdown, but for a Covid release, not a bad effort, i'm sure shortcuts had to be taken in post production.
Now watching Life in Pieces......thoroughly simple, done before, but works and works well. 20 mins of easy watching whenever you want. Thoroughly recommended.
Still on Lucifer as my personal guilty pleasure, totally sexist in the visuals (scantiliy clad women aplenty) ..but i'm a man living in an office where i'm outnumbered by women 7 to 1 so it's a bit of escapism for me lol!

I thought that too, I was watching the start of it with my kids, and the content (science content, humour and entertainment, childish suspension of disbelief) seemed pitched right at their level (ages 9 & 10, happy to watch total bollix like MrBeast challenges on youtube) but then then there was plenty of four letter swearing, and a "funny" sequence with inflated condoms which made me think this was intended to be more adult than appeared. If that's the case it was total st, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Sophisticated Sarah said:

I watched this, amazingly didn't switch off! I love a b-movie feel anyway, this was really scraping the line

I watched this, amazingly didn't switch off! I love a b-movie feel anyway, this was really scraping the line in a few scenes they hadn’t completely masked the dinosaur from the scenery and they were floating or passing through rocks 
s
