tinfoilhat Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Rockers rule said: Homecoming. Series 1 (2018) & Series 2 (2020) Totally enjoyed binging on these 1/2 hourly episodes. Set mostly in and around a rehabilitation centre for home coming troops (present day USA). Of course things are not always as they seem. Julia Roberts stars in the first series and plays an excellent part as one of the councillors. The second series follows on well from the first and the ending is quite acceptable. Fully recommend. Fringe. Just not sure on this one. Her that should be obeyed's choice and while I did enjoy the first episode (watched 5 so far) Its just not my thing. Reminds me too much of 'Blindspot' which, despite my love forTattooing couldn't cope with the similar format of having to solve some new intrigue every episode. The probability of being able to solve a 'new mystery' every week is beyond belief in both 'Blindspot and 'Fringe' IMO. All very clever but too far fetched. Keep safe and Binge responsibly. Stick with fringe, it's brilliant. Couldn't be more different to blind spot- think X files or even Lost. Meanwhile, at Tinfoil Towers, just finished I hate Suzie. Former child star life spins off the rails. Billie Piper is superb in it. A bit risque in places but just good observational drama/comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasoning was in Blindspot it was always the same thing. whichever tattoo had a hidden meaning and was the premise of solving a crime that had either happened or was about to happen in that episode it would be the same premise for the next episode.. Same with Fringe, each episode is centred around something the main character has been involved in previously and much the same for the following episode. While the detection work, explanations and some pretty good inventive solution to whatever problem are dealt with in the episode's I've watched in 'Fringe' you just know the same format is going to be used over and over again in further episode's I wasn't a big lover of X files which was over done - IMO 'Lost' now that was a different kettle of fish - Luved it & still go back to it now and again. Keep safe & binge responsibly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define 'good'. Spy? Blood-death-murder? Si-Fi? Rom-Com? Supernatural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generation kill was a cracker. Little birds wasn’t bad. I get your need for shorter, punchier series - will binge Des but as I haven’t watched it yet, can’t say either way.

Go on then Funky & Tinfoil - I'll give it another go. Thanks. Started watching Raised by Wolves TV series. (2020) Netflix. corny as hell and filmed like any good 1970's Sci Fi would have been BUT there is something that is compulsive about it. I can't find it available for a complete binge. Having to wait weekly for the story to continue is the only down side. Fully recommend. Keep safe & binge responsibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki-red Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I watched all 3 seasons of The Fall. Its great and I love that it had a definite ending. Gillian Anderson’s really quite annoying tho IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
