Watched the first four episodes of The Night Agent. It’s a pretty predictable ‘agent goes rogue to prevent inside plot’ story, but it’s watchable.
The plot has already forced him into the path of a girl he’ll probably fall in love with and I imagine he’ll end up saving the president somehow, as they all do. I’ll finish it, but not really expecting any surprises!
Two to go on Night Agent, really like it.
It’s got definitely 24 vibes and not just because of D.B. Woodside.
Just started this.
Read the synopsis and other half said oh that’s definitely my stuff 
The Traitors is doing pretty well at the award shows. They just won two Royal Television Society awards.
The first season seemed to me very stretched, it was more interesting to watch young girls than women in the suburbs.
I have mixed thoughts on this! I haven’t watched it all yet (finish it tonight) but sometimes I don’t mind if Netflix do a one and drop with programs. Quantity doesn’t always mean quality.
I saw that with “designated survivor” - The first season seemed really punchy but the second one seemed a little disjointed.
If they do a second season I’m hoping it’s as good as this one has been.
Couldn’t agree more.
Pretty much every shows overstays its welcome at some point.
Back in the day, if Heroes had stopped at the end of Season One it would have been remembered far more fondly.
In this case, its a Sony show, so presumably not up to Netflix how long it goes on for (but they can obviously stop paying to distribute it).
I’ve finished it now, and I thought it was terrible 
.
To each their own. I think I’m getting spy drama fatigue, but it seemed very much a rehash of previous plots that have been done to death. Think I’d skip a second season.
Currently watching it and I’d honestly say that this is Netflix bread and butter stuff. While it’s entertaining enough, it doesn’t stand out to me in any way over other shows.
I don’t quite have fatigue as Spy dramas are right in my wheelhouse. But it’s definitely fairly generic.
I’m currently watching Blue Lights and enjoying it so far. It’s available in UHD on my LG TV’s iPlayer app.
Blue Lights on the BBC is actually really good. Another police drama, but it follows new recruits in Belfast response policing, and it manages to feel pretty fresh.
The priest from Derry girls turns up as a gangster though, which is pretty throwing 
James Norton (Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley) was a priest in Grantchester, which threw me!
This can also act as a reminder that Derry Girls is the best comedy made in the last 10 years and everyone who hasn’t should go and watch it now
Heroes was fucked by the network.
The creator had envisaged it as an anthology series. So the second season was supposed to have all new characters and an all new story.
Not good enough for the network! They wanted the characters people knew and loved to stick around. So even though their stories were over, new ones had to be created or the characters otherwise shoehorned in.
It was this forced compromise of vision that fatally crippled season two.
Times have changed so perhaps it would’ve been allowed the intended season two if made today. Imagine if True Detective makers were told they had to keep Harrelson and McConaughey in the show for season two instead of being able to explore new characters?
Save the cheerleader, save the world.
Wasn’t the writers strike part of the issue too?
I forgot about the writer’s strike. Did a Google, found some information on how it affected Heroes here:
Sounds to me it wasn’t a major factor in the issues I identified the show as having, it just made the second season shorter. With or without the strike, the problems with keeping the same characters were still present.
One of the big problems, the link above reminds me, is that some of the characters were so powerful the show had to come up with ways to nerf them. Which is a betrayal to the characters and a letdown to the fans. New characters with new parameters would’ve avoided this issue.
Eyyyy god this Yellowjackets is going all out.
Finally caught up to the latest ep.
I was getting some LOST vibes but now I’m not so sure wtf is going on
Just finished night agent. Really enjoyed it to be honest. I mean it’s lightweight but plenty entertaining I found.
‘From’ is my current binge. Nowtv £11.99 for 6 months. Movies and entertainment.
Is the show worth getting through? Shows good promise up to ep2.
Ah sorry, per month!
Annoying they charge for boost (multi device streaming and 1080p).
My TV in bedroom doesn’t really need more than 720.
