    Finished season 1 of Manifest - not sure I want to continue. Good story and idea, but a few glaring plot holes and unrealistic character reactions. Anyone know if seasons 2 and 3 get better or should I just read the plot outlines on wikipedia?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Just watching it tonight, outstanding.

    I remember following the story but had forgotten that for 8 or 9 days we didn't even know if they were even alive.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭holly_johnson


    Watched I came by last night - thought it was decent. Kelly McDonald was great.

    also watched Devil in Ohio & enjoyed that too. Bit of a slow burn but well acted

    +1 for 'I Came By'



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    Same as. Really enjoyed that. Didn't play in a conventional manner - or at least not for me anyway.

    Great performances too by all involved - made it more intense.

    Would recommend if someone looking for a mystery/thriller.

    I have couple of questions - few unresolved points. But I don't know how to do the non-spoiler thing on boards. So won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 15,152 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Thought it was mildly average/OK-ish in a 6/10 way (which is probably good by Netflix standards), and while carried out in an almost quite perfunctory manner with nothing that hasn't been seen before, it at least spun a couple of the usual conceits with these stories in an unexpected manner.

    More than a few contrivences which exist only to signal points in the plot, but nothing that trips the story up too much.

    Not the worst couple hours, but more of a walk, don't run recommendation for me. I enjoyed the director's prior Under the Shadow from a few year back, and while nowhere near that, it's certainly an improvement on his last effort, Wounds.

    Deceit is good well worth a watch .

    Well deserved that, Love Death and Robots is some of the best stuff I've watched in an age.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 23,931 Mod ✭✭✭✭TICKLE_ME_ELMO


    Arcane won an Emmy too for Outstanding Animated Program, first time a streaming service has won that one apparently. It won 3 others too, but I don't quite understand what they're for. Well deserved anyway.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,306 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Props to the Love Death Robots animators, even if I found Season 1 a bit of a chore.

    Just watched a very short Dispatches documentary there on Pakistan cousin marriages in UK and the effect of that when you have children.

    Shocking stuff although, what was worse was the denial by a lot of community that marrying your cousin could be cause of disability in your children.

    Looks like All Quiet on the Western Front is getting another adaptation due end of October; spoilers. It looks as super-depressing as you'd expect of it!

    Watched Love in the Villa last Friday - with the Wife last Friday, with a load of wine onboard - and as such it was perfect, as it's a nonsensical movie probably as insulting to the Italians as Wild Mountain Thyme was to us here.

    Edit: To be clear, wine, drugs or such things are required to make this movie 'good', watching it sober or clear eyed will make you break the telly. Italians especially should stay clear

    But noteworthy to see Tom Hopper playing a normal role, after seeing him as Luther in The Umbrella Academy for years - still a huge, muscle guy just minus the chimp hair

    Thought 'Me Time' was poor, it's all over the place, seeking an audience of fans somewhere between Sesame Street and Richard Prior Live In Concert.

    Worst I have seen Wahlberg or Hart in, 1 out of 5 would be generous.

    I watched that last week also. It was very sad , and their denial that their genetics had any part of their childrens disabilities was horrifying.
