Just finished it myself, it was great, guessing a series 2 is incoming.

Oh. Ep1 is over. Ok, I'm out.
It's a bit... different. Gets really odd later on.

Have just watched S1&2 of Arcane in two weeks, knowing nothing of the games.

I am in awe. Best animated thing I've ever watched and possibly my favourite series ever. If you're into steampunk, fantasy or stories where your fkups can't be redeemed I can't recommend it highly enough.

In fact I can't think of a fault at all right now.

However you look at it from animation to design to writing to voice acting to music it's basically top class.

Utterly fantastic thing.

We started watching "The Crown" recently, just finished season 1. Some of it is really good, but what is rather irritating (to put it politely) is how it slides from really good to completely made up utter utter bks without any warning. It annoys me to think that there must be many people who are swallowing it whole, I hope it occurs to them to check that some of the key plot can be shown to be fake history on Wikipedia or Google in three minutes.

Only Claire Foy was an enjoyable and convincing queen in The Crown. Seasons 1 and 2 were great productions. After season 2, I completely lost interest.

The first few series of the Crown were excellent, after that I agree it went downhill rapidly.

Just binged S1 of Arcane (i'd watched it before) and started on S2. Still the same high standards, superb animation and characterisation with people who act like you've expect with lots of shades of grey. Great for a TV show of any type let alone one based on a game. Brilliant.

Yes first two seasons of The Crown were the best. Quality fell almost season by season after that imo.

LOUDERMILK has popped up on Netflix from Amazon. I love it and you’ll know if it’s for you by watching the first episode when they have to move the therapy session out of the church hall.

He’s a grumpy ex alcoholic therapist.
I loved it. I was surprised that Anericans can make something with that kind of humour. Seems more English in it's comedy.

I lost interest when Lady Di appeared.

Agreed that the first 2 seasons are exceptional.

Yes, it was great. And nicely set up for a second series.

Why. ? I mean we know the royal family is very controlling, mixed with some very non salubrious characters, Jimmy saville etc. I think the public can make their own mind up what is real and isn't

. I actually think the crown was pretty good in it's presentation of the royal family, which sits on billions ( most of it earned from the slave trade) whilst making out they have a common touch.

I'm also thought it was fun. Everyone knows the writer used a lot of poetic licence so, whilst we'd experienced many events IRL, it was an entertaining (and occasionally funny) show.

Even when it flies in the face of recorded history? You're ok with the public deciding that the queen blocked her sister from marrying the man she wanted to because they saw it on a tv show?

I'm not sure much of the public would care very much one way of the other. smile

Unless you’re a royal obsessive I think you’ve nailed it
