finale?
I thought that was next week?

I thought it was next week too, episode 13 is listed on my planner for next week anyway.

pickarooney · 06-09-2017 9:31pm

Oh right! Mine had only 12. It's updated now.

Grayditch · 07-09-2017 12:09am

This just isn't a good show. Im not sure if it got it's third season or not, but I reckon I'll be knocking it on the head.

CatInABox · 07-09-2017 8:12am

Yeah, this just hasn't been translated to screen competently at all. There's so much in the comics that they could have made an epic show, but presumably the budget isn't enough to do what should be done.

Grayditch · 07-09-2017 8:51am

I'd say by season 1, episode 8 I had finally detached it from the comic in my mind and was letting it do it's own thing. But I find season one, standing on its own two feet, terribly paced and dull for the most part.

I was actually looking forward to the show taking a decent run at it in Season two, doing its own thing and although I think it started strong, it really ran out of steam.

I too think it's budget has to be holding it back.
I'm finally fine with it not being Preacher (it's really not) but there isn't a really a good TV show with what's left.

Grayditch · 08-09-2017 1:31am

Ah yeah. I'll do what I want, like.

Feels like the Saint of Killers is the only major draw given he's like the Terminator but they are starting to soften him up.

This season is such an effort to watch...

It started off really great but went downfall alarmingly quickly and eventually went out with a whimper, despite a few individual good scenes with Herr Starr.

If it gets another season they'll just probably have to wrap it all up. Shame, but I wouldn't want to see it dragged out much longer at its current quality anyway.

Even without a budget why not just follow the comic storyline? I don't necessarily mean do it all, but at least follow the basic plot. It's all there! No instead they had to add characters, re-write seemingly all the dialogue, and even twist and bowdlerise entire plot lines. The tv show is rot. If I was Garth Ennis I'd be disgusted but sure, if he's happy with the cheque, so be it.

There's far better shows out there. This is just a waste of time.

CatInABox · 27-10-2017 10:05am

Have to admit, I'm pretty surprised by that. It's just not very good.

Grayditch · 27-10-2017 11:09am

It didn't improve in Season 2, I don't think they'll pull off a good Season 3.

Agent Coulson · 20-05-2018 4:29pm

Season 3 starts June 24th.

Thargor · 26-05-2018 3:47pm

Ill have to watch just to see what Hitler gets up to.

Curious to see if anyone is watching this now - I haven't felt the need myself.

Colin Cunningham has a role this season!
a.k.a Julian Slink in SYFY's "Blood Drive"

He has a strong screen presence!

The season so far is only good.

Walter Bishop · 04-07-2018 4:10pm

Yep and it's been great so far.

FreudianSlippers · 05-07-2018 10:28am

Very different than previous seasons, but interesting insight into some backstory we were never really clear on. Enjoying it so far, but ready for them to ramp it up a bit.

I'm enjoying it, plot has still to take off but love the characters as always

Captain Red Beard · 05-07-2018 8:50pm

Haven't watched any of season 3, and was losing interest t towards the end of season 2. I'll wait till the long cold dark nights of winter to get back to it.

Looks like he brought some of the Blood Drive machinery along too

TerrorFirmer · 06-07-2018 12:22pm

I'm kinda waiting to hear what people's feedback is around the mid-way point. S2 was great for an episode or two, and then dwindled into absolutely uninspired drudge for the rest of the season....not unwatchable but pretty grim considering the source material is so rich.

As someone said above at this point I'm mostly interested in seeing what shenanigans Hitler is rustling up.

Hitler storyline is in limbo as it is concentrating on angelville and on herr Starr. Is pretty good this season, the grandmother is not as decrepit as in the comics but is still well portrayed. Definite improvement on last season

Found the opposite, doesn't seem to be any coherent storyline, just meandering along with the grandmother bit and odd excerpts of the "Jesus" storyline and lot of obligatory fisticuffs
Kinda losing interest - missing the angels

Sudden Valley · 03-08-2018 12:07am

The main storyline is indeed very uninteresting. Cassidy story is the only funny/interesting plot

Skerries · 21-08-2018 9:20am

anyone else notice the footage of the Pride march going by the GPO?

Almost missed it - notice they blurred everyone's face out

TerrorFirmer · 28-08-2018 8:39am

Decent third season, consistently entertaining and a lot better than the second though by no means essential viewing. They've it set up very well now for one of the most iconic face-offs in the comic next season so hopefully that actually gets made.

FreudianSlippers · 28-08-2018 10:19am

The back half was much stronger than the first half - I definitely felt that the writing felt very rushed towards the last few episodes in comparison with the very slow pacing of the first few.

Thargor · 28-08-2018 8:23pm

I loved it, last season was a chore to get through but I devoured this season, especially the last few eps, Cassidys storyline was great, I cringed when they brought in the vampire club thinking it was going to be just the same old cliches as in 50 other vampire shows but they totally subverted it, it was hilarious tbh.

fritzelly · 28-08-2018 10:19pm

Agreeing with the majority - first part of the season was getting boring (as I already said), ramped up now with more action and story
Cassidy is definitely the highlight of the show!

Interesting that filming is being moved to Australia. I wonder is it down to season being based there or cheaper to film there.

Glebee · 08-03-2019 3:24pm

Finished S3. I dont know what to make of this show anymore. I love the characters and will definitely watch S4 but its plot is just bat sh1te crazy... S1, S3, and S2 for enjoyment levels
