Started Lost again.

I saw a recap video on YouTube last week that clarifies the ending, what it meant, etc, etc and it really left me with a yearning to watch the whole series again.

Despite how poor the last season or two was, the journey was excellent, I cared for the characters and was saddened when it all ended.

Iv also watched Designated Survivor which was incredible, was on a binge watch.

Really?! I could only describe it as utterly dire - poor story, weak acting and Sutherland’s character is a real damn squib.

I’m on episode 5 and I’m enjoying it. I am a Paul Rudd fan, and I do like Aisling Bea, so chances were I was going to like it.

I'm on 2,like it so far

This will be the 3rd time I’ve watched it all the way through, it’s my number 1 show.

Dragged out too long milked like TWD/GOT and Heroes none of which I could watch again in fact not sure I could watch any TV show again as I have too good a long term memory.

I'd say regardless how good your memory is, good TV remains good for any rewatch.

Personal favorite of mine...I've watched B5 in it's entirety maybe 7 or 8 times and can almost quote the seasons 2-4 word for word. More recently, I watched Top Boy S3 for a second time in under a month as missus wanted to see it. Again it's so good that being fresh in my mind didn't detract from any enjoyment.

I have seen B5 twice once when new then again at least 10+years later but that is probably the best how ever.

Had a bit of a binge watch recently:
The Romanoffs (Amazon antholoy drama 8 episodes) - Very mixed bag thought 1 was good, 3 were ok and 3 were very poor.
Unbelievable (Netflix limited series) - easily the best of the new shows I havew watched in the last few months. Not exactly easy watching but interesting, great acting and well produced
13 Reasons Why (Season 3) - Honestly wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't been invested after sesaons 1 & 2. Really didn't warm to the new character and I don't know why. Dragged and seemed like they were trying too hard to keep you guessing. Devin Druid (Tyler) was very good though.
Homecoming (Amazon) - Just started this, only one episode in so early days but so far so good.

I hadn't realised she was in this too. I was keen to watch it because of Paul Rudd, but even moreso now that Aisling Bea is in it.

Has anyone been watching Giri/Haji? It's on my list of things to watch.

Finished Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale. It's a good watch, if a little depressing at times I guess!

A few episodes into Living With Yourself. Seems good so far.

Season two of the purge has started. Been looking forward to that

Mark A · 22 Oct 2019 at 01:46

3 episodes into Top Boy season 1 and it's not bad, but the acting is terrible. I'm hoping it gets better in season 2 and 3.

Captain · 25 Oct 2019 at 09:39

Can anyone help me find a show or maybe it was a film..

All I remember is a group of people find a planet that appears and disappears every 2 weeks but in those 2 weeks, the planet jumps 700 years into the future, bit vague I know!

krooton · 25 Oct 2019 at 11:09

Could that be an episode of an anthology show, like The Outer Limits or Twilight Zone?

Pretty much in the same boat. They had so many unfinished strings from Season 2 that I had to keep watching. The new character was awful. Not just me saying that - the general consensus was that she was awful. The story was much rougher. So many dumb decisions from all of the characters. That being said, I still found it a fun watch if only to laugh at the characters stupidity. But yeah, Devin Druid was decent.

It was recent, I’ve watched it in the last 2 years and it wasn’t a documentary type show.

If I remember correctly, they have an AI robot with them who stays on the planet for the 700 years to learn about their technology.

It’s really bugging me, I hope I didn’t dream it

The Orville

It's the last episode of season 1, called "Mad Idolatry"

Oh yes now I remember, that was with Seth MacFarlane, thank you.

Isn't this a Star Trek episode, maybe Voyager?

This one maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_of_an_Eye_(Star_Trek:_Voyager)
