I’ve now watched them all and still have no idea what’s going off Scotty. Lol

That's about how long I lasted. Tedious.
Wanted to like it, brilliant premise yet again, but it's too slow and tied up with "personal lives stuff".

Fancied some brain-out movie action, so watched Interceptor

It delivered rofl Elsa Pataky is a good kick-ass leading actor, very little surprises but it did the job and distracted my brain for an hour and a half.

Nice little cameo in there too wink

That was Netflix, not Amazon, and I watched it yesterday. I thought it was about the worst thing I had ever seen biggrin

Love the Yank floating radar installation, an iconic structure!

Yes there are subtitles for the spanish bits, very often now I tend to turn them on even when they are speaking in english as they speak so badly.

It’s ok but you need to be handy with the 10 second skip button for the endless waffle between actual events.
Whilst it's on the edge of being too slow, these are the bits that build the whole picture IMO. With lesser actors it wouldn't work at all IMO.

This could be because I like FK Simmons though...and despite being probably 20yrs or more the junior of the character, I do like a good curmudgeon. The relationships between him and his wife. and him and Byron were very well crafted.

If you want punch in the face TV, The Boys is where it's at biggrin

In which case the subtitles should be on by default for the parts spoken in Spanish. Have a play with the settings.

Into ep4 of Night Sky, it's a slow burn, because it's not full of action and bullst, much like Outer Range. I'm liking it.
Two good shows at last. Could never get into Bosch.
Me neither, cannot fathom the love for that show, enjoying Night Sky, tried Outer Range, not so much
I've watched a few episodes of Night Sky. The first one seemed a bit tedious but I persevered with it. It seems to be taking a long time showing different people in different places before explaining how they all fit together.

Bosch may be hard going for some because it has a lot of different plot lines going on all at once. There's a fair bit of shoot 'em up police action but the idea is to show the different sides of American policing and what American police have to deal with from the threat of being shot in a traffic stop to the court of public opinion and actually being sued in court when they shoot someone themselves. It's not saying it's right or wrong. Maddie working with a lawyer who goes after the police and then becoming a police officer herself and being conflicted plays out those different viewpoints. I've never thought the girl who plays her is wooden. She started out as a child actor in Walking Dead.

After reading this thread, Mrs G and I watched the first three episodes of S1 last night. We’re hooked!

Mrs G nearly gave up after the pavement scene in the first few minutes but perseverance paid off smile

The boys is starting to remind me more of Ash Vrs the evil dead. The OTT gore is getting a little silly. NSFW, Ash vrs rectum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssAZDf-iPyM

I thought exactly the same. Not that that is a bad thing at all.
