3 body problem is better than I thought it would be.
- Have you read the books? It's a wee while since I read the first one, but tv series seems to diverge massively from it - is that the case?Nairn
- Unfortunately never got round to the books. I remember you recommended them here.thumb_screws
- It was good, entertaining for sure but I felt a bit underwhelmed.Ramanisky2

Seems to have been bagged by a bunch of reviewers but I just finished the last episode (#6) and I thought it was a pretty satisfying story all up. Jodie Foster was good, and the supporting cast had some great performances. Saying anything more risks spoilers so I'll leave it at that.
- Apart from the polar bear it was awful. A narrative shambles, so full of holes and unnecessary exposition. Really, really disappointing. The actors seems to...Morning_star
- ...constantly struggle with shallow and incomprehensible characters. It's worse than season 2. Utter fucking toilet water.Morning_star
- ^ that's the kind of review I was referring toBuddhaHat
- +1 MorningstarWordsworth
- You're welcome.Morning_star
- 9.8 for the polar bear
7.3 for the storymilfhunter - I watched it, I liked itprophetone
- Enjoyed it. Not the best but certainly not as bad as Season 2.
Season 1 is still the gold standard.Ramanisky2 - Watchable, its ok-good. But not much.HAL9001
- It's time to stop. They tried three times and they failed miserably. Nothing can touch season 1.crazyprick
- Was fun; good NOT great. I love Jodie / she can do no wrong.ideaist
- Couldn't stand it... +1 Morning_starJrdntnnr
- So much wrong with it. But I had to watch it. +1 for the cleaning crew seal team six.wagshaft
- lolprophetone
- am I the only person that liked season 2?DaveO
- I didn't mind season 2. There were too many narrative threads, could of been tightened up.thumb_screws
- The ending this season felt rushed.thumb_screws
- This shit was so bad. Shoehorning culture shit. “Should she get an eskimo chin tattoo?” Every woman is like an old dyke that also screws worthless dudes. Yawn.cannonball1978
- Season 4 was so beautifully shot, it was worth it for that.mort_
- i_monk-3
- Was avoiding this because I only made it thru 10 minutes of the 2005 movie of the same name. But a couple of people recommended it, I'm halfway and its good.webazoot
- I feel like Glover is putting on a deeper voice to be a bit more macho. Still enjoying it though.BuddhaHat
- It was SOOO promising. Most of the first episode was so fresh and I got excited. Then it shit the bed episode 2 and .. no, it’s so bad.monospaced
- They don’t act like trained spies ... ever. It’s just lame. That was what made the movie work. It’s frustrating how stupid the situations became for no reason.monospaced

It has probably already been posted here but I had never heard of it. It's from 2013.
I am two episodes in and really like the characters and all their issues.

- Absolutely loving itstoplying
- this is an amazing series. Every character has such a unique depth to them, and women aren't just a sideshow.Ianbolton
- 2nd one in, and yeah its all that.Wordsworth
- Gardener4
annoying and entertaining in equal measure but worth it if you like Brassic, Lock Stock/Snatch
- yup, started this last nightYakuZoku
- Watched it. Enjoyed it. It was fun and entertaining. It’s not winning any awards. Brassic is better.Morning_star
- Really enjoying it so far ...
only on ep3Ramanisky2 - You nailed the description. Entertaining, but definitely annoying.formed
- Yeah enjoying this, like a happy meal version of the GR filmsprophetone
- we are getting this going tonight, woohooAQUTE
- Tapped out after the first episode of this. More annoying than entertaining for mesausages
- I have watched this in 3 evenings. It has some great moments and was enjoyable. It slowly turns into a crumbled ball of "whaaat?" though as they try to wrap upHorp
- The idea of treating each as a standalone plot, but plot each calling back and interlinking just became too messy IMHO. Not sure if it's a set up for a season 2Horp
- i'm still yet yet to watch the last 30 minutes of the final episode - and not even sure i'm that bothered. Often great fun, but yeah... what Horp saidIanbolton

Tokyo Vice, absolutely great
- holy shit.. that looks amazingautoflavour
- 'tis!jagara
- Loved this. I cant find S2 anywhere in Austhumb_screws
- Its on torrents thumb, the S2 is just as strong as the first, so good.Wordsworth
- This was a good show. Looking forward to season 2 to land in the UKHAYZ1LLLA
- Yes, S2 is still great. Just a bit annying that it's only coming out each week. I am too old to wait.Longcopylover
- Dirty downloads is the Australian way, unfortunately. Blame Jabba the Murdoch.MrT
- @Longcopylover if you are too old to wait, you have waited for network television shows before :)jagara

If you haven't seen Veep, give it a go, one of the best tv series imo. And this was how they did it at the Emmys.
- BuddhaHat3
- Based on James Clavell's 1975 literary epic of the same name.BuddhaHat
- Really good so farthumb_screws
- The making of is on FX Networks YouTube.Wordsworth

Fantastic first two episodes so far, love Noomi.
- That second episode seemed very conclusive. Very good story so far.CyBrainX
- Just finished the 4th Ep and I’m sad to report that it’s losing me. It’s going off the rails.Ramanisky2
- Ramanisky21
Really struggled with this one.
It’s beautifully shot/directed with great sound designHowever, once the creep factor of Season 1 fades and boy it fades out quick, every other episode feels like filler, nothing really happens. Super Thin story stretched out over 4 seasons ... good thing each ep is only 30min on average.
- First two seasons were fantastic, the eeriness, cinematography, score, characters, story but, they dragged it and dragged it, watched them all nonetheless.Wordsworth
- Really should have edited this entire story down to 2 seasons. Might have been more impactful and honestly, even the ending was... meh.Ramanisky2
- I like actors but couldn't get into watching it, did seem really well made.PhanLo
- I liked all the actors as well. However the main character Dorothy (well played by Lauren Ambrose) was insufferable.
Hated her eccentricity with a passion.Ramanisky2 - THERE'S 4 SEASON ???
Wow i didnt know! I liked S01 but dropped it at S02HAL9001 - ^ yes 4!!! 2 of those seasons are all filler episodes. Nothing really happens.Ramanisky2

First episode of the new Avatar on Netflix, flawless for me. As its very suitable watch with your kids. I did listen to its full score twice, before watching the first episode :) So epic score, yeah and I hope it doesn't go downhill later on.
- It's pretty well done for a tv show. Quite enjoyed itPhanLo
- Did you finish the series Phan? I'm done with the first and quite happy with it.Wordsworth
- As an responsible father I very much appreciated Suki the Kyoshi Warrior. :) It's a great adaptation, thoroughly enjoying it so far.Morning_star
- Yep just last night, squeezed in the last two episodes. I loved the animated series and the lore of that, so it's cool to see it done properly.PhanLo
- Only watched the first 2 episodes, but they were fantastic! Loved the cartoon series, hated the movie, looking forward to the rest of this!Akagiyama
- really? oh man, now I have to watch it, I was dreading/ assuming that it would be shit and not hold a candle to the cartoon_niko
- I think they did really well with the show budget to make it close to a movie, you can tell some bits don't have the large amounts of extras or set detail...PhanLo
- ...but the main cast is decentPhanLo
- HAL90015
- definitely, great cast toospl33nidoru
- Candy on Hulu is also pretty good.
Same story.Ramanisky2 - I love Olsen but on the looks department, Biel is such an eye candy and not bad an actor either. She did actually better in Candy.Wordsworth
- jup was great.milfhunter
- am on this too, enjoying it, thanks HAL9001Gardener
- coolHAL9001

Has Atlanta vibes but definitely its own thing.

Watched this again last week. What a brutally amazing TV show. Riz Ahmed and John Turturro are fantastic characters
- Excellent.. have to give this one a rewatch.Ramanisky2
- This was great.CyBrainX
- The first episode is a masterclass in tension, the rest is brillantspl33nidoru
- yeah it was goodHAL9001
- Forgot about this one. Really well done.wagshaft
- So goodmort_
- Um, how did I miss this? Riz and Turturro in a show together? BRBgarbage
- i really wanted the cat to be alright and Tuturro's eczema to clear up - poor lad.Ianbolton
- Ramanisky22
- yeah, it's a good watch although does also suffer from 'promising start to not so great' ... especailly the newest season which ran out of ideasBluejam
- first two seasons are greatBluejam
- and will disagree with you on Silo, thought that was a good first seasonBluejam
- I love this immensely and even posted it myself but I think Silo was fantastic from beginning to end.CyBrainX
- i've tried to love for all mankind but i really do think it's extremely second rate. not sure i can be arsed to finish s2hans_glib
- Gets a little melodramatic and far fetched at times but I grew to love the characters and sometimes that’s all you need.Ramanisky2
- The homie Robert Bailey Jr is on the 3rd and 4th season and he killed it! The show overall was a great watch.shellie
- ^Very cool. I like that character and like that he got to stay in the series.CyBrainX
- Severance is the best Apple tv show. Change my mind.milfhunter
- I can't change your mind, you're right.kalkal
- Silo was great.i_monk
- I was just disappointed with Silo and Invasion had that first season slow burn that i actually loved and then came Season 2 uuuugggggh WAJORamanisky2
- Is this a show about jeans?HijoDMaite
- Ramanisky23
- Just let me know when the final episode airs.CyBrainX
- lolmilfhunter
- This should've been 'Embazzlement', 'Fraud', 'Tax Evasion', 'Money Laundering', 'Traitors' and so on. Not an ounce of decency in their bones.Wordsworth
- ^ which is why it's so entertaining!MrT
- utopian-1
- damn1 I started this show and some when I just lost track because it started to lose quality in my opinion. what happened? was it just me?oey_oey
- Not just you. There was a sudden drop as I remember.palimpsest
- Writers strike of 2007 ruining everything.kalkal
