I found the two protagonists terribly written. He was a walking cliche. She, a charmless dullard. I almost let out a cheer at the horribly signposted tragedy in the penultimate episode while the wife wept. So formulaic, so boring. Can’t believe I wasted two weeks on it. Classic compromise TV. The sort of thing you end up watching when you chose the last thing to watch together. I didn't enjoy the first couple of episodes but thought it improved one hell of a lot towards the end. Didn't feel formulaic to me either. Dunno, just felt quite real, captured the zeitgeist quite well, which was why it was impactful. The Bear I mainly agree with you, was a hard watch but clearly quality. Everything set in Chicago comes across as dark and gritty, would hate to live there. Except for Ferris Buellers day off maybe.

There's so few shows where the Venn diagram of our interests overlap, that we end up watching the American Office, or some sports documentaries. Like, there's no way she'd watch Shogun or Game of Thrones, but we are watching Masters of the Air. Even then, I've tried to convince her to watch Band of Brothers which is much better, but she doesn't seem keen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised how shit it was i think it’s pretty dated now but was very in tune with pop culture at the time. Edit: just checked and it was made in 1999. I though it was later than that.

MrRaspberryJam 212 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The Gentlemen on Netflix was surprisingly decent. 7/10 The Old Man. 6/10 Shogun (episode 5 out today, not yet watched) 8/10 so far. Would have been a higher rating if it wasnt for Cosmo Jarvis' silly accent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
