My brother, who is a voracious consumer of Netflix and its ilk, alerted me to Blue Eye Samurai. I greatly enjoyed the first episode. It had to win me over because I refuse to watch anime dubs, with a few exceptions. But you can tell pretty quickly that this is not one of those, it's American made, it just happens to be set in ancient Japan.

Re: What shows are you currently watching?
I've been watching Orphan Black Echos, almost done..
It got canned a bit as everyone expected something as good as the original Orphan Black which was awesome..
Echoes is a new and different story with parallels, it's a good series in it's own right I think, but yeah not as good as the original.

I can feel it
Re: What shows are you currently watching?
Just watched most of the mist netflix show (not the movie which has nothing to do with the show). I'd say don't bother, a big plot point is how the only queer characters are a rapist, and closet case abuser and a woman with like 10 lines so far. Of course the homophobic abusive dad gets to justify his hatred and the mum trying to protect her child who was raped is a crazy controlling bitch.
My recomdation, skip it and just watch the movie

Re: What shows are you currently watching?
Anyone else found themselves watching a series simply because they cannot believe how bad it is?
It's the only explanation I can offer for us viewing a second episode of NCIS Sydney, and I am firmly convinced one of us will use the veto card if we start a third.

Re: What shows are you currently watching?
Okay, I have to confess episode 3 was almost up to main series NCIS back in the later days of Mark Harmon's tenure. Not brilliant, but better than the first two.Irrev-Black wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 8:20 am Anyone else found themselves watching a series simply because they cannot believe how bad it is?
