Quote from: steezy405 on Apr 13, 2024, 04:55 PMI agree Atlanta can get messy but overall it's a pretty good show. I can see your vision with Daria like I hated Brittany's voice it pissed me off because it was way to high pitched also Quinn was kind of bitchy.

Surprisingly I loved Quinn and her friend more as an adult rewatching Daria than I did when I was younger. Yes Brittany's voice can be grating but she's part of the clique that I love more now and laugh at more.

I was this cool the whole time.

I'll take your word for it, my favorite character would have to be Trent because of his passion with music  :)




Great German darkly comic drama (hold on: German? Comic? They don't normally go together do they? Well they do here!) Helgoland 513 poses an interesting question: how far would a community go to fulfil Spock's mantra that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one? As an unnamed virus (surely based on Covid) rages across, presumably the world, though Germany is only shown, one island is untouched. But in order for this small community to continue to be able to support itself, the figures show that only 513 people can be there at any time (hence the title). Therefore, if the population increases, someone has to "sacrifice" themselves for the good of the island.

To its credit though, Helgoland 513 does not use this premise as a crutch, and there are a lot of subplots going on, leading you to question the motives of the leaders. It's got a lot of dark humour, too, and the idea that those in charge know more than they're telling the general populace. Highly entertaining, slightly scary and ends on a cliffhanger, with the hope of a second season in the air.

Subtitles? Clear and legible, thank the subtitling gods. 7 episodes in total, well worth a watch.





^ With its Stuart-Little-type photo, this publicity image gives a very misleading impression of what is a short, unusual drama series. Some good, but not glamourous, acting and an off-beat, gritty story that is prob offensive to some. It's getting some media attention in the UK, (where the story takes place), but I don't know if anyone else has come across it ?

What you desire is of lesser value than what you have found.

It keeps getting mentioned as a series to watch but I haven't checked it out yet. It's gaining in popularity.

I've noticed Baby Reindeer. If the reviews are good, I might check it out.

We finished Fallout today. Overall, I'm impressed that they managed to make something that felt so authentic. They nailed the world and the humour. It won't be this year's best series (I'm currently guessing House of the Dragon S2), but very enjoyable. The only thing I disliked is:

Spoiler
It's about all these peeps, three of them, from pre-war days who are still battling it out 200+ years into the apocalypse? Man, that seems both unlikely and kinda contrived.

I would like to watch the English series about the post people getting screwed over by their employer and the data program, but not sure if it's streaming anywhere I can watch it.

Did any of you guys see it?

I didn't, but my wife did. She seemed to enjoy it.

I think the files remain there for 30 days until they delete them. If you don't manage it in that time let me know and I will re-upload them.



I currently have one episode left of Fallout. I know next to nothing about the game, but I've been enjoying it regardless.

If you need help with any clarifications etc, I can help. Especially with how the last episode ends, it may not have as much of an impact on you as it did me, but it is so so so good

So far so good for me. I'll let know if I have questions about the ending.

I finished Fallout last night. So what are the details that might have had more of an impact on me?
