Paid Members Cod Eye Posted May 4, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2018 I love the mixed dynamic too. What with the Johnny training the Larusso-esqe kid in No Mercy ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wright Mark Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I got through the series yesterday. Much, much better than I ever expected. I saw a tweet saying it was like the original Karate Kid mixed in with Mean Girls and Superbad, and that's a spot on description. Johnny kind of reminded me of Randy The Ram Robinson from The Wrestler too, being the out of touch down and out whos glory days were way behind him. I never wanted it to end. Bring on Season Two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2018 I watched the first five. Ended up paying individually for 3-5. It did have that feelng of if the Karate Kid was made now, it would have had bad language, dick jokes and sex mad teenagers. Still very good though. Look forward to @Astro Hollywood review.

wordsfromlee Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) I love the music in this show. The 80's inspired EDM making it feel retro and modern at the same time. Plus the power ballads. You can also sign up to YouTube Red for a 30-day free trial if you need it to watch any. Edited May 5, 2018 by wordsfromlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube Reds not available in the UK is it? I watched ep1 last night and was hooked. Was gutted when I saw 3 onwards were ppv. It's a shame YouTube didn't put the kind of budget and production into it that Netflix or Amazon would have. Even so though I freaking loved it so far.

Paid Members Cod Eye Posted May 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2018 Can't wait to watch season 2, if there is going to be one. Everything about it was just what I wanted from a 2018 Karate Kid show. Even the dodgy acting added to it! One thing I did notice though, is Ralph Maccio the only man in the world who's voice has un broken as he got older? It was massivly deeper when he made the original films...

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I've only seen the first two episodes so far. Looking forward to watching the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) It's genuinely tremendous. Of course, nostalgia is a powerful thing, but it weighs humour and pathos brilliantly.  I liked that LaRusso went on to become the pinnacle of 80s success and that at the start they don't go full on with him being a tosser, rather playing up Lawerence's bitterness.

Merzbow Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm watching the Netflix Original Erased, it's bloody good. A beautiful little time travelling mystery, quite emotional at times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) Arrested Development's remix is way better than it's original fourth season. You can only do so much with what is basically the same thing, but it's a massive improvement on the fourth. Things seem to flow a lot more. Might also be because I'm viewing it a 2nd time years later so dont have my bitter head on, desperately wanting it to be nothing less than the best thing ever, but I enjoyed it way better than I did when it first debuted. Jeffery Tambor just doesnt seem funny in this, though. And it's not the allegations. I dont know if its because I just watched the whole run of the Larry Sanders show so it's a bit unfair to compare it, but Tambor doesnt seem on form in this. Dunno if it was because he was working on something else, and the character just wasnt at the front of his mind as it should have been, but Tambor is usually a comedic force.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted May 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 Episodes. I remember when this first came out and I watched the first or second episode of it and kind of wrote it off. It's now on Netflix and I've been watching it and it isn't bad at all. Matt LeBlanc plays an awesome oblivious dickhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't kidding. 5 episodes in and it's putting hairs on my chest. That's how you do a show like still. A lot of nostalgia and call backs, but it could pretty much live as its own series if you hadn't seen the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the original run, George was never really at the forefront of episodes but was amazing. In season 4 once they gave him more screen time the character was a bit all over the place and really suffered from it. It's like they forgot what to do with him.

WyattSheepMask Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Rick & Morty has been picked up for an additional 70 episodes. I don’t know if that means longer series’ or not, but I’ve never know a network to order such a chuck of episodes in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Brooklyn Nine Nine has been cancelled, there’s 2 episodes left of the 5th season to run in the next 2 weeks. I enjoyed it through its entire run Also Gotham still hasn’t been picked up for a 5th season yet with Season 4 ending in 2 weeks. The shows I enjoy are dying out, back to reruns of Knightmare and The Sopranos for me.
