Drinker not holding back, it's a sad indictment on modern entertainment when YT critics reviews are far more entertaining and better written than multi-million dollarshows and films.

Willow eps4 is actually half decent for once so it looks like I’m going to continue watching it.

National Treasure on the other hand can do one after just two episodes though. That show is even worse than this.

Some interesting turns this week. Although for some reason it only struck me during this one that the show is named on the worst actor so far, in it.

I thought there was going to be some girl on girl action on this weeks show.

Know what you mean. I'll hold on to the show for a bit longer as the last two episodes have been better...not saying much mind you.

That "acting" from Warwick Davis...

:cry:

I've watched the first 4 and there is some hope but the show is laughably bad at times. The woodcutters scene was so out of keeping it was untrue. Some of the characters are horrifically written and I think Prince Graydon may actually be the the best written and acted. If this was a BBC production made on tuppence like Merlin I'd give it a bit more slack. Because it's made by a mega Corp and money doese't appear to have been the limitation I'm not so kind. It often looks great for what it is a kids hokey adventure but the writing could be better. Princess pain in the backside is just terribly written the character arc could have been done so much better. This is real filler TV for me. If I'm travelling and can't find a movie I fancy I put it on but that's about it.

Modern character trope, always a red flag.

She's also one of the main characters in Ted Lasso and Krypton. Either way that woodcutter scene was a bit out there.

I thought it was meant to be as they were in the woods of crazy illusions or something?

Does this get any better?

Must be a gluten for punishment on episode 4 and this is just dreadful

Dialogue is woeful like some bad teen TV show. Action is hideous.

Acting is a lucky dip. All the female leads are as bad as Warwick.

I do like the rogue like guy with the big arse sword.

I really do like the production value. Sets are good.

Also still trying to figure out why there was two female cowboys or lumberjacks from down under?

SkeeterUK · 29 Dec 2022 at 22:30

its better i think here and there in places, miles better than the slow start at the early eps.

Gray2233 · 29 Dec 2022 at 22:46

I've found this show so hit and miss, although the last two episodes have definitely been an improvement.

Some beautiful sets and character designs, there's a couple of genuine laugh out loud moments. The plot is all over the place however, and some of the acting is absolutely horrendous. I'm going to keep watching it, honestly it feels almost like a full blown comedy at times.

Kainz · 30 Dec 2022 at 07:37

^Yep.

Watched episode 6 last night and it was a shambles but I enjoyed Boorman and Christian Slater.

Bigpig · 2 Jan 2023 at 18:40

As soon as Rool turned up it instantly put a smile on my face.

Shame it was ruined by the rest of the episode.

Its getting to a point that it's that bad it's good for chuckle.

Like seriously. Let's have a school dance in the middle of the forest and que the slow dance.

Could they not get someone to score the series correctly?

Bigpig · 2 Jan 2023 at 18:49

OmG I need to stop watching but I can't look away.

On to the start of the next episode.

Bunch of troll slavers???

This is pure car crash.

PlacidCasual · 3 Jan 2023 at 08:32

I couldn't make it through Wildwood, I think I may have found my limit.

SkeeterUK · 3 Jan 2023 at 10:12

they messed up giving trolls speech and behaving human. totally daft when u compare trolls to the film where they were wild and unintelligent. and why didnt willow give em them magic acorns to the others, it woulda been good to see those again.

Bigpig · 6 Jan 2023 at 19:17

Episode 7 here I come. Very much doubt my phone will leave my hand hah

Kainz · 6 Jan 2023 at 23:15

Episode 7 was probably the best yet. Not saying much mind you.

Amazing cinematography and some interesting character development going on now.
