Blastronaut 1368 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 On 25/09/2023 at 03:05, Christmas Tree said: 8.6 on IMDB begs to differ Expand That puts it just slightly behind Oz on their scale, which granted hasn't aged all that well but was the seminal hbo serial drama that kickstarted the golden age of TV serial dramas. Also puts it slightly ahead of Northern Exposure in their ratings, I'm not having that either. if Glimmer Man is 5.4 on I'll give this an extra 1.5 points purely for the self-awareness. IMDB can do one. It's 6.9 on the Blastronaut scale, and that's me being kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 52919 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Oz was great. I imagine it looks rough as fuck if you watch it now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar: the last Airbender has a 9.3 on IMDB. Now, I'm not averse to stuff that are chiefly aimed at a younger audience, but I'm not having some cartoon rated as highly as the Wire, or Chernobyl.

Expand Sure IMDB gets a bit skewed by the younger geeky audience, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb imo. I rarely watch anything below a 6 and find it a great chaff sorter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to adjust it acordingly to how much you like the genre, so Avatar and most that Marvel shite wouldn't even be on the radar. But it gets most things about right. My cut off is nearer 7 like, but unlike CT I have standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 8093 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Aye, I still use IMDB as a rough guide. I love horror movies for example but you rarely see any rated over 7 so I take that into account. On a whole I find the scoring just about right.

Also, with the Marvel stuff I take the Chez approach. Sure, sometimes I want to watch some gripping, intelligent, thoughtful 'picture', but sometimes I like Boom POW Kablam.

Christmas Tree 5455 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Just finished all 3 seasons of Mr Inbetween. Sorry like, but one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. Get it watched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 52919 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I've got one episode of Silo to go. It would make a great video game - along the lines of a Bioshock, which was class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 46587 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Mrs. F. insisted I watch The Woman in the Wall with her. Pleasantly surprised tbh. Brutal subject matter*, and Ruth Wilson playing another crazy lass ( no chebbage…boo!!). *It’s about the convent laundries and child trafficking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb feel good film and the bit with Burt Lancaster and onwards with his dad, man...... proper blinking like mad here, mind, invisible smoke somehow all over the living room.
