What are you watching?

Just seen the first episode of Line of duty. Great start. Stephen Graham is a great actor and will be a good addition for the series.

First 2 episodes of ‘Rebellion’. A drama set in during The Great War in Ireland where Unionists, Socialist revolutionaries and Anti-British Irish Nationaists come to blows to settle Ireland’s post-war future.

Is that the RTE description? ‘come to blows’ as a descriptor is so fucking Irish considering the subject matter. :smile:

Prison Break

The first 12 or so episodes are quality imo.

However it kind of degenerates after that and I’m kind of annoyed at how it’s ending at least in this first season.

I’m not watching the rest, will probably read what happened in them later, as I’ve been told the first one is the best and main one worth watching.

[spoiler]why not just have them escape properly the first time and do all the crazy CIA conspiracy shit with their dad later on?

After that failed, it just descended into nonsense with the psych ward thing and the assassination attempt of Lincoln[/spoiler]

I know to turn my brain off with shows like this but the final part was too much.

It suffered from the 22 episodes thing and the dragging it out phenomenon shows of that era seem to have been plagued with.

If it was just the first 12 episodes then it would have been some very nice TV.

Just the 4 more series to go. :sweat_smile:

As soon as they began their escape that show was utter shite.

Prison break was the best only for the first season.
Even second was but tolerable and after that it was complete shitshow

To be fair I don’t think we need them for 15 year old shows :slight_smile:

Yeah true.

My favourites are Abruzzi and Michael

Also in the first escape if we’re doing away with spoilers, Michael being as meticulous as he is, would never have opened up that hole for light to shine through without covering it in case somebody noticed, which is what they did.

They should have escaped the original way there and then, which was a great way and I’d have been very satisfied. But to add that in was some bullshit meant to drag out 10 more episodes which was nonsense.

That was some bullshit

I thought the first series of Prison Break was one of the best pieces of TV i’ve seen. Though I agree it could maybe have been a little shorter. Series 2 was meh, and series 3 was bloody dreadful! From epic to horrible.

I really really enjoyed it up till the first escape attempt, and even a couple episodes after despite a recognisable drop in quality.

It was still entertaining AF but I found it harder and harder to look past the BS as it went on lol.

Edit:

The series was originally turned down by Fox in 2003, which was concerned about the long-term prospects of such a series. Following the popularity of serialized prime time television series Lost and 24 , Fox decided to back production in 2004. The first season received generally positive reviews,[2] and performed well in the ratings. The first season was originally planned for a 13-episode run, but was extended to include an extra nine episodes due to its popularity.

From wiki^ this makes a lot of sense.

Edit 2: I’m reading through season 2, and it sounds like a huge smelly stinky pile of shit.

I’m glad I’m not wasting hours of my life watching any more

Edit: wtf am I reading :gabriel: :arteta:

The vice president was shagging her brother GoT style?!

Edit 3: well looks like everyone landed on their feet, good.

But fuck what a load of shit that sounded like, I’m glad I saved myself that.
