The Black Oil

Not giving a lot away here. Hectic enough looking pace of life, with some bruises along the way.

Starts on Nov 9th.

It's another BBC/HBO co-production.

The Black Oil

Full trailer, pain included.

Forgot about it, d'oh.

The Black Oil

Pretty solid opener, with enough character detail and story to stimulate. Hari's death wasn't a surprise as someone was bound to crash and burn. The actor did a decent job that he was believable. We're all changed fonts at 3am, right? Still, though, the manner in which he slept napped in the bathroom was a bit of shock more so than he was doing it at all. No one's terribly likeable, but I think we knew that was going to be the case from the trailer and this is a cable show. Nor does it seem like any of the graduates have an edge yet, initial success or not. Soundtrack felt familiar. And why not use the FT to catch your own vomit?

3 episodes in and this isn't grabbing me. Perhaps I'm not the target audience.
It just feels dull. An episode of the Apprentice would feel more entertaining and, frankly, given the equal opportunity sexposition going on, would feel a bit more believable.
Harper is the most fleshed out character but I'm not sure it's worth hanging around to see what happens with "Chekhov's transcript".

You don't have a leg to stand on with this. First of all, the thread title says *Spoilers* and it's a longstanding norm of this forum that spoilers are fair game once an episode has aired which episode one did almost 3 weeks ago. Secondly, it is a person's responsibility to stay clear of threads they don't want to be spoiled on.

I do actually

There's spoilers and then there's "a major character dies" spoilers

It would've taken you 5 extra seconds to use a spoiler tag and cover up your sentence

The Black Oil

No dice.

As I've said, it's perfectly reasonable to discuss episodes that have aired, in detail, including significant moments or actions or that may befall characters where the thread title has spoilers in the title. That's fair warning to all and how this forum has worked for years.

Finished watching this tonight, thought it was really good.

Nice ending.

At 8 episodes its worth a watch for anyone suffering lockdown bordem.

I finished season 2 last week and it's enjoyable enough but it's not exactly compelling.

Its only like succession,in that there are rich people being dicks but the writing, character development is nowhere near Succession levels.

Jesus I can't wait for Succession to return.

The Black Oil

Well, there's a third season coming on August 11, if anyone's still watching.

There is no reason for their to be two year gaps for this show. No big stars, no vfx, no reason. I am not even sure people will remember this show.

Baybay

Unlikeable people doing unlikeable things that they don’t seem to care about. At least that’s my memory of this series.

Is this like a 2024 version of This Life from the 1990's? Because it sure sounds like it…..
