SuperBacon Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Only Murders In The Building Blitzed through the first two series in two days and have had a fantastic time. Second series suffers by having Amy Schumer, Cara Delevingne and Michael bloody Rappaport in it, but it's still bloody great. Also am now convinced that Selena Gomez is the most beautiful person that has ever lived. I read somewhere that she considers her only friend in the world to be Taylor Swift. Selena, I will be your mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I’ve just finished The Righteous Gemstones season 2, and I thought it had  a massive drop in quality from the first. It got a bit too ridiculous, which made it a frustrating watch. I really enjoyed the first season though…with that in mind, what’s the consensus on the third season? Does it get back on track?

Does it get back on track? it's pretty silly, but probably not to the same extent as series 2. It has a great ending though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2023 I thought series 2 was stronger than the first, which I thought tailed off in the last few episodes, so you might want to disregard my opinion, but I thought 3 started good only got better as it went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I loved series 1, didn't think series 2 was as good but still liked it and have only recently started watching series 3, I've got about 2 episodes left and have really enjoyed it. There are some new characted which I think were a good addition and helped freshen things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2023 I really enjoy Only Murders In The Building, but often in spite of itself. For every really clever episode or set-piece, there's something that doesn't land at all, yet it usually gets the balance just right enough to still be charming. This series has been a bit all over the place compared to the previous two, and I have my ideas about who the killer turns out to be that I don't think will be particularly narratively satisfying, but we'll see how it turns out. Martin Short is delightful, though, and I like that the current series has given him a bit more to work with. I have had "Which Of The Pickwick Triplets Did It?" stuck in my head for weeks now.

I'll be honest, she wasn't as dreadful as I've previously seen her, bloody Rapaport popping up was worse. I think Cara Delevingne is quite a charming, charismatic person so that almost pulls her through in her performance. Obviously I think she's incredibly fit so that does help. Agree with @BomberPat I don't think this series has been anywhere near as good as the first two, but the show and the leads are so bloody charming that even at a medium score it's still better than most shows. Also, Selena in that latest episode in the Spoiler Wedding dress BONK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Watched the first two episodes of Top Boy on Netflix but now I’m worried that Netflix doesn’t start at the beginning. Have I joined halfway through or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 29, 2023 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) I watched them the other way around because Netflix made it confusing (except for the most recent one that I've not seen yet). It was fine that way around as well. The netflix ones are much better anyway. The original series does some great world building and just as it's getting going it ends. It doesn't really feel like much happens, and not in a good 'character piece' kind of way. I guess what I'm saying is that Netflix was right to bury the first series.  Also the score of the original series is very irritating. Edited September 29, 2023 by Chest Rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Drake did actually.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
