TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

On e5 or e6 of The Witcher S2 and frankly I've just about given up trying to link everything up...that, and with some of the dialogue being so quiet as to be unfathomable, I'm finding I'm watching for what happens to the characters rather than why.

Subtitles are your friend.

Watched first episode of Good Omens last night, enjoyable start.

 

[larmen]

[Pin-seeker]

They used a proper actor in the movies, he wasn’t big enough for the fans. Now they used a big guy …
At least they didn’t use The Rock ;-)

I thought Cruise was good Tbf.
Didn’t rate the 2nd film tho.
This guy just seems a bit wooden,I’ll stick with it.

I just finished Outlander on Netflix.

i have a question:
Do Scotsmen have a preference for extemely thin women?

I keep hearing the phrase "bony lass" mentioned.

That is exactly what I did and low and behold, I could follow it a bit more ?

Finished watching Good Omens on Amazon this morning, very very good, hard to explain why, but definitely worth a watch and only 6 episodes.

Not sure if you're taking the........
I'll entertain you anyway, bony lass = bonnie lass = beautiful lady......
Hopefully this answers your question.

If skinny, she would also be a boney lass, not bony ?. I believe it is a gag though, I hope so anyway ?

Started Stay Close last night, quite intriguing.

To be fair. Reacher is meant to be a bit of a strange lad. Having a polished actor doesnt do justice to the character.

I don't mind the acting in the series.

I agree. I think he is really good for the role and nothing wrong with the performance, that will no doubt grow and become more nuanced

 

[Fade and Die]

Lots of things right but do they not read the books? The guy is way too clean cut to be Reacher. Physically imposing, yes but Reacher doesn't use moisturiser ?

The guy is about 10 years too young (in my head) but you wouldn’t get that physique on an older guy. Throughly enjoyed the first 2 episodes though.

I'm enjoying Reacher

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Anyone who has read the books has an image in their heads of what the character looks like. In the case of Reacher the author really makes it clear, it is crucial to the character. It's why the Tom Cruise films created such outrage. We think we own the character, the image built up over years of reading, book after book. The reality is we, the reader, have to be less precious, less protective ?‍

I picked a bit of a hole in this guy but at least he is imposing and that has to be the starting point. I'll forgive the clean cut element, it would have been nice had he been older and rougher but it's still closer than little Tom ?

What they really have right is his way of thinking, the analysis, the minimal speech, the fighting. I'm enjoying it so far as well ?
