Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2020 Garland is very much from the Tarkovsky school of science fiction where world building and visualising concepts is forefront in his mind. I disagree that there are not engaging characters in his films and Devs, personally, but there's no question that they are not the most important thing to him. Devs is very Garland and if you didn't like Ex-Machina and Annihilation then this will be a struggle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wideload90 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'm burning my way through the shield and despite watching the first 5 seasons years ago, I've forgotten how good it is and the majority of storylines. Fast paced storylines, stressful and intense story arcs and excellent acting. This is fast becoming my favourite programme. I'm grateful for this lockdown for providing the time to watch it. Essential viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2020 Just been watching some Sanford and Son on YouTube. Anybody seen much of it? I thought it was really funny from what I saw and might watch a bunch more after I've finished Kimmy Schmidt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went down a YouTube rabbit hole last night and found some bits of it and thought it was really funny. Quite interested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted May 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know how someone without Sky or its various PPV platforms might go about watching Breeders? Watching the trailer, as a dad of three kids 6 and under, did more for me than any counselling or mindfulness ever could, now I’m desperate to see the show! Happy to DM if more appropriate. Also, how on earth did I miss Cuckoo? I mean, I haven’t seen any new telly in six years, so I know the answer, but really, what a wonderful, wonderful show. Big Greg Davies fan, and although I found both Samberg and Lautner’s characters incredibly irritating at first, the writers do a smashing job of rounding them out and humanising them as the episodes tick over to the point I was really rooting for Dale and Rachel to get together at the end of the third series. There’s no weak link for me, Helen Baxendale is fucking wonderful and just the right kind of saucy for my liking, and that lad from Outnumbered does a good job as the surly wanker teenage son. MVP though, by a country mile has to be Steve Chance. What a fucking character that is, and played to perfection and beyond by the chap who’s name I always miss as Netflix skips the credits. Absolutely impeccable timing, experessions - the neighbourhood watch episode, where he’s demonstrating his Judo skills, fuck me, I nearly pissed the bed after a simple “ooooss”. ive still two seasons to go, but this’ll easily be a show I revisit plenty. An absolute gem! Edited May 20, 2020 by John Matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
