Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 21, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2017 Based on recommendations in here, I started Riverdale last night. I hope it picks up, it feels like Dawson's Creek after ep 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 That ending to Better Call Saul.. oh shit. It's been a slower season and not so keen on all the Nacho business but Jimmy v Chuck has been golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted June 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 I thought this season was the best one yet. I like the Nacho stuff, Jimmy vs Chuck has been excellent and even the Kim stuff has been alright. Obviously the best stuff is Jimmy's manipulation of old people.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 The missus likes all these grim dramas, and was wondering if the new season of Unforgotten is any good. Or has anyone watched Hinterland, Whitechapel or Top of the Lake and if so, are they any good? Is Fearless any use? I think we’ve watched everything fucking else at this stage (except stuff that’s wrapped up in an hour like CSI and the likes, which I’ve no interest in) and I’m out of tv shows. So many questions...

It does seem very Dawson's Creek to me, maybe a little bit edgier, but it hasn't caught my attention enough to actually sit down and watch it with her. She loves the Archie comics though (to the extent that Josie and The Pussycats is one of her favourite films) so I imagine that helps to keep her interested.

Paid Members Au Posted June 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) So, all the characters are based on the Archie comic characters but updated to be a modern day highschool with issues that are relatable to a modern audience. Josie and The Pussycats is a fairly campy 90's chick flick about a girlband who feature in the comics and in the Riverdale series itself. Though, I wouldn't say it's necessary to be familiar with either to enjoy the TV show, it's just particularly helping in her instance.

The film was such a massive bomb (released in 2001). What could go wrong when you have the brilliant Tara Reid playing a lead role?! I remember watching the cartoon as a kid and quite liked it. It was no Jem, mind you. Edited June 21, 2017 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with the Nacho story is that I knew where it was going, there was only really one outcome if you've seen Breaking Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prequel like this is always going to suffer from this issue unfortunately. I think they've done a good job of making the viewer care about what happens to Nacho and Papa. I assume he dies, like.

I haven't watched it in about ten years but it's a massively entertaining watch, with a great soundtrack. The product placement gags, the comment on the music industry, it's a great film. The tv show is nowhere near as much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) The pacing of American Gods was bonkers, wasn't it? Got to a crucial point in the story, then spent two episodes slowing down to a snail's pace, and ended right as the story proper was actually getting started! The last episode of Twin Peaks was class, though. Really starting to feel more like Twin Peaks, and feeling like it's going somewhere, even if very gradually.
