OT: Movies/TV Shows

Yup, I tried to watch it with my girlfriend but could not get into it.

Excellent acting mind you but I found it very boring.

Yep, that's pretty much what I expect as well. I mean, if it's Queen VICTORIA maybe it could be interesting ... but queen Elizabeth? And no, I don't follow ANYTHING with the royal family at all.

So I'll scratch this off my list ... Will probably watch OA later.

Also watched Sense8 "Season 2" yesterday (it's a 2 hrs special really) ... and it's alright but man season 1 was slow to begin with, and just when it begins to get interesting it ended. It's taken forever so I can only vaguely remember who is who, and now after a 2 hrs special there's gonna be another 6 months wait for the real season 2.
 
Warning to everyone, The Passengers is a chick flick in space. Don't fall for the trailers.
 
Dirk Gently was fun - took me a while to get around to it, but it's a lot of fun.

Part MIB, part Sherlock, part Repo-man.

Sherlock... the best.

Yep. Though I re-watched Sherlock season 1 & 2 over the Christmas holidays, and I think they were even better than the new seasons now ... maybe now that Mary is dead Season 4 will get better (not that it's 'bad' but it's not as brilliant as season 1).

My top 5 TV series (in no particular order) are:

- Sherlock
- GoT
- Breaking Bad
- X-Files
- Firefly

Watching OA right now ... so far so good. Also heard good things about "The Night of" so probably next on my list
 
I've read mixed reviews on the new Sherlock season. Waiting until all the episodes come out to watch that one.

Stunned to see The Crown won over shows like Stranger Things and Westworld as i thought both were f*cking fantastic. Just from the trailers The Crown doesn't seem like my type of show but might check it out.

Starting a new show sometime in the next couple week with the gf, debating over:

- OA
- Man in the High Castle
- The Night Manage
- The Crown
- Night of

open to suggestions. new or old.
 
I did like The Crown. It probably won because voters tend to like historical bios, so it may not be as good of a show as some others out there, but was still worth watching. It was one of those shows where every episode I'd be googling about a certain character or event that was going on to learn more about it.

Man in the High Castle. Hands down.
 
Yep, I haven't seen the others, but I just burned through season one of Man in the High Castle pretty quick. Its worth it for the setting of the story alone. Throw in some action, cold war style espionage and a little bit of sci-fi/lost/wtf is going on and its really entertaining.
