Iâm finding the new season pretty terrible! I mean, not terrible in comparison with i.e. 2 Broke Girls but terrible in comparison with i.e. Previous Seasons.
Here is my complaints:
The plot bout the 3 warrior girls, and pretty much everying that happens in Dorne, is fucking terrible. When i was watching them fighting it was like Xena: Warrior Princess deleted scene
The show is compressing a lot of material into its relatively short runs. The books have tons of characters, and if anything, drag on for even longer on some arcs. Where the show perhaps does itself a disservice is by condensing the material so much that in the case of stuff like Dorne, the audience doesnât really have enough time to get invested. Condensing the characters into composites of two or three book characters, is also creating a bit of outrage at the moment. The Sansa scene that people are upset about it is in the books; it just isnât Sansa it happened to.
Yeah - itâs shit fâsure. The Stonemen are double shit.
Donât get me started on Daredevil either. Somehow got convinced by a bunch of internet weirdos on another forum that is was worth the time of day. Maybe in a âitâs better than all the other superhero series which are proper shitâ kind of way is it worth watching.

Thought Daredevil was very good. No freak of the week stuff. Solid performances from the cast. Iâve a little bit of an issue with them killing off a MCU supporting character or two, but enjoyed it loads.
Maybe itâs because I watched eight seasons of Smallville.
Tbh, I ditched it pretty early. Too much other stuff to watch.
Not a problem I have anymore. I think I watch around three shows on anything approaching a regular basis. The rest just gets binged on a quiet weekend.
Finally watched Kickass the other day. Thatâs good superhero nonsense.
It is, and I enjoyed the second one too.
Iâve mentioned this elsewhere, but Kingsman : The Secret Service is also a very good film. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, same chap who helmed Kick Ass.
Itâs tough when ur vested. You can end up watching i.e. every episode of Californication if ur not careful. I try and make judgements early, nowadays, and get out while I still can. Iâm v.proud of myself that I donât have to watch i.e. Walking Dead or i.e. Mad Mens or i.e. any of the dumb Arrow/Flash/Agent Carter type shows.
The latest series of Game of Thrones isnât very good. Too much talk and not enough of the smut that the early episodes promised. And a bit of gratuitous violence doesnât slake the thirst either.
Canât wait for Ray Donovan to come back though. Liked that a lot.
Iâd second Peaky Blinders. Birmingham gangster show, set in a time when the city was visually interesting. Some very decent performances from Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill give excellent performances, and I am a stickler for shit accents. Loved the thundering speech that Neill delivers to his coppers on arrival.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. The missus was well into Californication and itâs pure shit (which, tbf, she acknowledged) Loads of nudity being itâs only redeeming feature.

Iâve still got a bit of Sons of Anarchy to finish, should I so wish. I do not so wish. I canât be arsed, and donât really give a flying about the way their unconvincing little universe ends. When shows are driven by really dumb shit, itâs bloody difficult to care, especially when so little care was demonstrated with the casting.
Well, the latest episode of Game of Thrones has now been logged into the catalogue of universes I maintain in my head. A marked improvement on last weeks episode and (drum roll) the books in quite a few areas. The Bastard continues to be a bastard. Sansa is not in a great place. Friends in the north? 'flayed not, love. This isnât book informed or owt, because so many things are different at this point, but I can see Brienne being Sansaâs saviour. That hasnât happened in the books, btw. Just guessing at this point, like everybody else.
The books are bloody long, and needlessly so in my opinion. Martin keeps his characters in one place either by ignoring them, introducing new characters or introducing new characters and ignoring them. Iâm not moaning that much; I loved the deep dive in the Iron Islands in the books, but the plot starts to branch and branch, and well, Iâm not surprised theyâre still not done.
No such qualms for the show. Theyâre ripping through it, skipping loads of the fluff and getting us to the bits that we want to see. There is a big meet tonight.
Overall, not amazed in the âooh, they spent tons of money on it senseâ, but some bloody strong acting, big payoffs and dramatic game-changers made this a goodâun for me.
Yeah I was more ok with that episode. Stuff happened! Cersei has laid an egg + there is no Jamie to save her! Still donât like sandsnakes tho, even when theyâre topless
