"Swiss. 6:42 Wed Feb 22 ''That Fuada is just a bunch of pro Israeli propaganda . Is ok to start shooting unarmed Palestinians at a wedding . Utter garbage'' Must admit due to it being hyped on here so much I gave it a go, admittedly I only gave it 30 minutes but knew it wouldn't be for me, the acting was very wooden too. I haven't seen anything really good in a long while, well except Gold on BBC."

"El Scorchio 7:23 Wed Feb 22 Re: Tv Box sets thread again - recommendation pls I think you might be reading into things a bit too much. Jaan kenbrovin, can you please be a little more careful about spoiling the show for people who never played the game."

"New Jersey 5:18 Tue Feb 21 Agree. Better was awful. Never ceases to amaze me how companies will spend millions on location filming, cinematography, editing and in some cases talent yet overlook the key elements of story and script. It became simply dreadful by the end. I got the impression the cast couldn't get out of it quickly enough Then again, some football clubs spend millions on players and don't even know where to play them"

"Cheers for that Duke, I will give them a go. I quite like the occasional Aussie series, really enjoyed the Newsroom which was on BBC I player a bit back and the Top of the Lake with Elizabeth Moss of Hand Maids Tale fame playing the detective."

El Scorchio 7:23 Wed Feb 22 The Joel thing was inevitable after the second game. They've just accelerated it to lessen the shit transition to a what will become a shit tv show aimed soilely at 'minorities'.

"The destruction of Joel's character surely reached it's nadir last night. They really are going out of their way to present him as a bitter, twisted, sad, lonely pathetic and useless old man. So far removed from the character in the game and his balanced and nuanced relationship with Ellie, who by the way is an extraordinarily vile unlikeable brat of a mary sue. Again far removed from the original. Doesn't help that Bella Ramsay is terrible as well. The first 10 minutes is just Joel getting disobeyed, bossed around, proven wrong outsmarted and got the better of by a child. (She then laughably goes on to outwit the leader of the commune with all her 13 years of life experience and virtually none of it outside a QZ) Then Joel is shown to be unable to accept his brother is happy and also comes across as a bit racist, ironic as you have to assume his wife was African American given the complexion of his own daughter, then he just slopes off and literally cries about it and gets morose before once again a child dominates him in a a short argument and somehow that alone 'fixes' him and all his issues. Absolute fucking god awful trash that doesn't even make sense. As someone who loves the games I am so disappointed about how they've chosen to represent the two lead character, especially as the bloke who wrote the fucking game is co writing the series."

"Watched the first episode of Mystery Road - Origin on BBC i player, thought it was decent but I'm fascinated by the weird fuckers that inhabit the Australian outback. As for Better, it got worse and ended up being a load of bollocks."

"Northern Sold 12:45 Tue Feb 21 ''Watched 2 episodes of Gold and I’m bored shitless… so that’s it for me.'' It's the best thing I've seen for a long time, different opinions I suppose. I thought Trailer Park Boys was an abomination, completely unfunny."
