Catch 22 was enjoyable.

Star Trek Picard looks ace

If it's anything as good as Discovery, it'll be awesome.

Found Stranger Things Season 3 to be a bit of a slog. Only enjoyed the last 2 episodes, the story was all over the place and the kids are becoming increasingly irritating

Only a trailer but it looks brilliant.

Hope it doesn't delay next series of Discovery though.

 

[The Bear]

It looks bang average from that to me. Nothing like Trek.

Discovery is currently filming, so series 3 should be out in the new year as planned.

I'm very jealous you get to read the book for the first time, I've not even watched the TV series for fear it my ruin my adolescent memories of the book.

 

[lemonjelly]

It's a book I've always meant to read. Sure it'll be read soon, and I won't be watching the tv series.

Loving Euphoria on hbo.

Catch-22, the unfilmable movie. Have you read it's sequel, Closing Time?

 

[SLA]

Closing Time is also good. All of Heller's stuff is good if you like his style, but none of it lives up to Catch-22.

Not yet. Been away. I seem to be one of the few people who actually thought the film of it was pretty good.

The film was ok. The problem is what to keep in/leave out I guess.

Yep. I think you have to take them as separate things. Would the film/TV be good if you'd never read the book, or if they were original works? I reckon so.

'The Boys' and 'Another Life' both became available to stream this week and both have started well. Karl Urban wants to work on his accent though.

The Boys is class, didn’t expect anything less from Garth Ennis though. If anybody has watched Preacher and enjoyed it, watch this, you’ll love it. Agree on Urban’s accent though, it’s fucking awful.

They've persisted with Butcher being a Londoner, then? I've seen clips and assumed they'd just kept him Aussie/Kiwi as in reality.

 

[Boozad]

Supposed to be a Londoner, it's nearly as bad as Dick van Dyke in Mowry Poppins.
