Really ? I thought that died a couple of years ago

It moves around

I saw it last night.

Spoiler

The writing is good. But it failed wth the editing for me.

The victims social media accounts popped up on screen, which made it lose its dramatic edge.

The jury kept breaking the fourth wall. I would have preferred to hear what the jury were saying via Bull.

The characters were a mismatch, we have Bull, then there's a gay make up artist, young tech geek, authoriive female lead, and bill had a sad back story.

It felt like it ticked all the boxes it needed to run as a shoe but gave us nothing new.

I've also seen Son of Zorn, had here's what I thought:

Spoiler

I found the show quite funny. Thought the unrealistic animated father with a fastisical back story really got to me.

The show could actually work if the father was just from a different country.

Also, a show like this would involve some hefty costs with editing and production, so I don't see it having a viable future

I'm still to watch a s**t load of other pilots, and will get back to this thread as I know them off, one by one.

Anyone watch Bull,the new series starring Michael Weatherly from NCIS ?
I wasn't that impressed with the pilot.

Actually, I didn't mind it, passed the time and will persevere for a couple more.

The one I was disappointed in was Designated Survivor with Keifer Sutherland. IMDB gives it an 8.4?
Same old and pretty predictable.

Have also watched Lethal Weapon, which I really liked and The Good Place, a comedy that had a few laughs.
Will probably continue to watch all again even DS which was the one I least enjoyed.

Nah.
It's still floating around like JUBJUB said.
Any luck finding it? Otherwise.

Just watched it and didn't think it was too bad. I think it has potential but it will fail if they go with the typical 'case of the week' type thing.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

New series of Cold Feet?

Lol

 

[Maggie5]

Spewing, just checked Netflix OZ and no Longmire. Series 5 episodes 1-10 released. Oh well, download time.

 

[akkaps]

Just watching the pilot to Kevin Can Wait. It's kinda like a reboot of The King of Queens, but with the couple at an older stage in life. Though the wife is way hotter than Leah Remini

 

[bok_party]

Watched The Good Place pilot. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Quite unique.

Same with Son of Zorn. Think they both have promise.

 

[Mentallo]

I am going to watch The Exorcist at some stage over the weekend (Prob tomorrow night) I have unreasonably high hopes for it.
I will report back once I have had a look.

 

[gaskin]

Enjoyed The Good Place as well.

 

[akkaps]

THIS IS US.

Was not expecting that twist. It was a nice twist though. A little sad.

I worry about the longevity of the show though, the results of the twist will result in two different storylines and I wonder how they'll connect.

From what I've read, it's the next 'Brothers and Sisters' / 'Parenthood'. And I can kinda see it, but it's also not.

Good as the previous seasons? I loved it and binged a season at a time.

Really enjoying it

Only started the while show like a month ago lol

 

[akkaps]

Saw the double episode opening night of THE GOOD PLACE. Enjoyed it. Very quirky. I just hope it doesn't get all Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on us.

Though as for twist at the end of Part 2, it's very obvious who sent the note.

 

[akkaps]

MACGYVER. Note that I've only seen like two eps of the original.

I liked it. The writing was good and funny. Still needs some work, but it's a keeper. Also, it took time to get used to Stokes in his new role, but it works.


And SPEECHLESS.

This would be my underrated show of the season so far. It's about a family with a disability child. I was afraid the show would centre around the disabled child, but it doesn't. Each other family member has their own stories and problems to deal with. Plus, I found it funny.

The one thing I'd fix is the mother. I can't stand her accent and she had way too many lines compared to the father.

 

[Mentallo]

So I watched ep 1 of The Exorcist and it was pretty good.
Worth checking out if you are looking for something to have a look at.

 

[akkaps]

LEATHAL WEAPON. Note, I haven't seen any of the movies.

I don't how authentic it is to the movies, so I won't comment of the storyline.

The writing is okay. Not the best. Sometimes the comedy is trying too hard. I worry about Wayans, and how well he can do drama.

But definitely going to keep watching it.

 

[NitroFan]

Didnt mind Designated Survivor. Will give it a few more episodes and see how it goes

Yeah, same. Liked the first two episodes.

Kiefer's character seems a little too good to be true though.
