Great episode! This one I found to be of particular note. In a previous episode I was critical of a particular topic and some say it was Aram joking around. However in this episode there was a very clear distinction of Aram's wit and humour and it made me LOL, that's the Aram I remember (and the writing). Then we had a particularly intense moment pulling out all stops with Redington. I really love Spader in this role... Simply just Nails it Every time. Not too mention the writing is usually good, but this was exceptional. Too good to miss this episode.
Catch up whoever hosts this site... The UnXplained have been running season 3 episodes for the last 6 weeks...
Wow... I love Tim Taylor and Tim Baxter but the latter and the show is getting really hard to watch. The compass has been thrown off direction and it seems as though it's going head long westward. Subject matter is down the gurgler, from racial politics, to relationship interferance, to other subjects that just comes from another world, but Not the Baxter world. Tell me there's only 12 episodes in this last season. I don't think I can last to 22.
Is it just me or is the steering of this show pulling one way, hard? I loved the first seasons. Season 8 on is no longer really getting a laugh from me any more. Season 9 is the finale right?
Why has Raised by Wolves been marked as 'Ended'? It is renewed for Season 2 (tvline.com)
They / them... How bout F*** Off Star Trek Discovery. No more of this nonsense for me. I've put up with a lot of crap from this show because I like Sci Fi and I used to enjoy The Star Trek universe. But we never see the toilet in Any Star Trek show but we've seen it time and time again in this monstrocity of a sh!t show. B-bye
Haha... That was hilarious! A little over half way through ep 11 where the whistling was playing and the montage of city scapes were being popping up, there's one building with a sign 'Cold Storage', however the editors forgot to block out the cell phone receivers... I nearly lost my mouthful of choc shake! Good episode by the way!
Raised by Wolves first 3 episodes were amazing. Sci Fi at its best. The best way to encapsulate these first episodes without spoilers is very easy... Ridley Scott. So looking forward to the rest of the season.
Now that I've finished season 2, Infamy, my expectations were met. The beauty about this series is The Terror uses historical stories. This one particularly was interesting as it focused on A Japanese community that have been in America for some time with grown American born children. Then Pearl Harbor occurred. All the Japanese were rounded up and put into internment camps. Quite distressing. A demonic spirit was following a family member. The whole saga of the spirit and the trauma of this proud, respectful community plays throughout the war. This season was full of subtitles so if you don't like subtitles you may find it frustrating, but it's definitely worth the watch.
The Terror is a series following the same lines as American Horror Story where each season has a different story arc.
Season 1 I watched when it first came out. Even though I remember I enjoyed watching it in having trouble remembering the details of the season. As with others here there were a I remember slower moments but that only enhanced the suspense.
Season 2 I've only just started watching and I'm 'hooked' so to speak. This season is focusing on Japanese that have come to America prior to Pearl Harbour. The spirituality of the Japanese and the whole culture is captivating and the first episode sets up for a very entertaining and mystical season.
I'll return once completing this season my end thoughts. Already though for my taste this will be an enthralling ride.
The new announcement of the shows cancellation is not terribly surprising.
I'm a fan of Dormers so I'm hoping to see her in something as challenging yet not as convoluted as PDCoA.
I think it was trying to do too much. Like spreading butter on bread way too thin.
Maybe a sequel of the original Penny Dreadful now be looked at a little more positively.
This is a continuation of my initial thoughts on City of Angels.
Now that I've concluded watching the whole season the last few episodes picked up for me.
The supernatural thread in the show unfortunately for me alludes me not being familiar with Mexican folklore. That's fine as that isn't the be all end all of the show. It is a very complex dark story with many facets, each depicted in a way to drive home what I feel is the main purpose. More on that later.
There are some truly thought provoking scenes. The cinematography and the authenticity of CoA is really something. The characters are well portrayed and overall a good ensemble. The season finale, the last two episodes that I just finished were outstanding. The big band music the large dance house really gave an uplifting swell, it's worth watching the last episode just for that. But then that swell, turned predictably into a bubble and the high burst finding ourselves in the depths of darkness.
This is where CoA does a great job. Even though there are many story threads they are meaningful and you could skip on the surface but it is far better to get completely immersed.
If I were to nutshell it each storyline is racially driven. Each facet brings home the distasteful and shame of racism, the insatiable desire of power over one, or a community, the destruction that comes from wanton division to control and finally greed in power. There are those that try to unify them there are those that lust for destruction.
Some may even decide that this type of show cuts too close to what is happening today and may try to cancel CoA, but DON'T. This cancel culture must be cancelled itself. It is these types of shows that can help understand and reflect the errors of the past that we can learn to be better and it shows how far we've come.
There are some great life lessons in this season. Worth the watch for sure. In conclusion PD CoA has grown on me. I do hope there is a second season.
I'm a big fan of the original Penny Dreadful which was without a doubt brilliant.
After watching up to ep 5 so far of Penny Dreadful :City of Angels I'm finding this show, even though the show is far removed from the original, the darkness and poetics of the genre is still there.
The portrayal of Natalie Dormers' several characters emit her artistry in her craft and that being a beacon in this show is undeniable. I love watching Natalie work (yeah okay, I'm a fan and have a crush).
There are other big names in this season and there isn't a slouch in any one of them. But Natalie, so far, blitzes them.
Not being American myself seeing the show based on early Los Angeles and the racial tensions I still find interesting as the time and location for the show. I'm curious enough to continue watching this iteration of Penny Dreadful. I cannot at this stage rate the series equal to the original but having said that allow this series to stand on its own merits. That is the best way to enjoy Penny Dreadful : City of Angels.
Well that was a surprise! It reminded me of a Fringe episode. Great work. Sad that the season is cut short but the media has everyone panicked and fearful over a virus that is only dangerous to 3-5% of the population. But that'll come out in time.
Looking forward to season 8.
Extremely disappointed this show was cancelled! Are you kidding? Had some good actors interesting writing with some elements of historical truth as the basis.
One of the very few shows I was looking forward to every week. Aside from the panic of a basic bug going around reducing the content that is available to us this was a gem shining from the pile of manure we are forced to rummage through.
Not happy with the History channel, not happy at all.
This season started okay, but it rapidly went downhill from there. At times it was a free for all pity party and other times it was really hard to get through the episode.
I had hopes that Titans was going to be must see viewing, but I only watched the rest of this season to mark it off my watch list and we were on lockdown so I had time up my sleeve.
Not my most liked season.
Having just finished watching the finale to the series I want to say I applaude the writers ending the show with a fitting finale! I won't go into detail so as not to spoil anything but well damn done.
The cast provided top performances right till the end. Well thought out plot, perhaps a couple little holes but what script has ever been perfect. This however was probably as close as you're going to get. I particularly enjoyed the tie in to S1, masterfully done.
Overall, if you like spy movies, espionage, current event scenarios and general cat and mouse, tug of war, situations you should like Homeland. The characters have flaws and throughout the 8 seasons it never glosses over these, but digs deeper into each characters relations with each other. There are slow moments dribbled throughout the series but just learn to expect them in any series... They are there to build and develop the characters. I'm sad to see the show end as it was one of my favourite shows I looked forward to every week. But the end was satisfying without doubt.
Thank you to the showrunners, writers, cast and crew. Job well done.
I am loving this show!
It falls in line, in creative excellence and artistry story telling as well as massively entertaining characters that we are used to in Breaking Bad.
If you liked Breaking Bad you cannot go past this brilliance from the talent that brought us BB.
These later seasons are turning from gold to platinum. If you haven't watched this show yet, stop everything, and binge watch it till you catch up!
Taking my time with Doom Patrol. I am really impressed that a show such as this, so 'cutting edge' and unconventional, got green lit in the first place.
Doom Patrol does some serious exploring and without giving anything away I'll only say this, sometimes it takes your inner super hero to obtain freedom from yourself.
Have a few episodes to go, but here's to season 2 in the future. I am glad I stumbled upon this gem!
I liked Katee Sackhoff in Battlestar Galactic a, and I was truly hoping this was going to be a SciFi show I can get into.
Seriously. WTF is this crap. This is a 90201 space romp. No continuity, no research done on any scientific level. Horrible! Katee, good luck with this one, you're gonna need it!
If you are here to see if the show is worth the view, I say give the first two episodes a whirl. Don't say I didn't warn you. 1/10
I came into this without knowing anything about Titans. My expectations were low (they have been pushed low with some recent releases) and my main reason for watching, I saw Titans had been renewed for season 2.
Long story short actually enjoyed it. I've always been a fan of dark, gritty shows and this didn't suck. The soundtrack suited, the theme music punches.
I needed to look up the characters (tools you I didn't know anything about Titans), but that's okay. I did like the introduction of the spin off team, they look interesting too.
The way we got introduced to the characters I found acceptable and the main story arc is curious. I'm definitely looking forward to the season 2 arrival.
I'm usually a big Doctor Who fan, have been for decades, but this season is a terrible mess of modern political propaganda, so much so I could not watch all episodes in this season. I'm sure there will be a handful of viewers that will like this new 'Doctor' but personally speaking, the Doctor's character does not change in any major way through the regeneration process.
I will continue to visit the Doctor again in season 12 but if it's the same I will not be watching all the episodes again as I didn't in 11.
The writing needs major improvement!
Chernobyl is quite an outstanding Miniseries with some excellent acting and relevant script writing. The dialogue is in English so there isn't a problem for those that dislike subtitles.
There are some glaring variances from historical knowledge to the miniseries possibly to dramatise the situation more, the usual demonisation of nuclear energy but it doesn't detract from series itself. The series does give a good depiction of first gen nuclear energy production and the sense that there were short cuts made along with a blasé attitude by gov officials to keep to Mother Russia socialist communism idealistically 'superior'.
I felt the main sense of the series was to show more the political bureaucracy of the Soviet State rather than nuclear accuracy.
The miniseries was very well paced and there was no unnecessary Storyline filler.
Don't miss seeing this.
I will be back to properly review 12 Monkeys because I'm only up to the end of season 2.
But I had to come on and give a big pile of praise for Emily Hampshire 'Jennifer Goines'. What a Frackin fantastic actor! Emily knocks it out of the park! She does Crazy, crazy well. Love this one!
If you want to watch a time travel show done well this is the one for you. There's a lot of jumping so you need to pay attention but let's face it what good time travel show doesn't need to have your complete attention!?
I'm really enjoying PBB as it has a flavour of The X-Files but it goes further and there's also other factors that are in the arc that would fall within the same timeline (my attempt not to spoil).
If X-Files was your thing give this series a shot. There are some familiar faces that you will appreciate them bringing their fine acting skills into this Project too.
This show needs to be picked up again. Keep the same two, Ealy and Urban as they played their parts well and had a great chemistry on screen. Almost Human didn't take itself too seriously, in fact I would say it had very similar traits as Stargate:SG1.
Definitely deserves a reboot on a better network, perhaps Netflix?
Amazing series... The actors nail it and there are truly stunning panoramic shoots. Someone here suggested the series is over, however we still have another half of this season to go, and the next season is already locked in. #Ragnar
OMG... Season 7 premiere was hard core! The most intense TV I've seen to date, and be aware there is a lot of gore in this episode, even for TWD. I know why they put ads in episodes now, for the views to catch their breath! Enjoy all!
I'm not sure who categorised this as a drama/horror, but it should be relisted as Dark Comedy/SciFi... I like this show. There's been a number of times I've enjoyed a number of good belly laughs out loud. I hope we see a season 2.
I miss Fringe with a passion. Fantastic characters each of which performed and excelled at their art especially when looking at alternate universes. Walter (John Noble) is my most favorite character in a show hands down. Olivia, portrayed by Anna Torv, I have a big crush on, shows her versatility as an actor playing multiple parts and characters extremely well. Fringe was so underrated and should have had more seasons. I still have November's Diary on my coffee table. I also miss the addition to the lab - Gene.
