It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. And more

Two weeks and you'll have a hayu subscription as you'll need to get your fix elsewhere.

I just watched the first episode of Kingdom last night and they decide to add more.

Edit: just checked and it's still only 2 seasons with the second added March 2020

Okay so it's 3 seasons of an American series

Jaysus, how many different Kingdom series are there?
The Korean one is fantastic, as long as you don't mind sub-titles. Best zombie series around by a mile.

I love there is new unsolved mysteries. I loved the older ones so I presume the new ones will the same format.

Watched most of the first episode last night. I sh!t you not.... goosebumps when that theme music played. Brought back those shivers from watching it as a kid!

Watching Homeland for the first time. A well made show but they do harp on the AQ-Iran connection to a weird degree, i.e. Sunni and Shia working together. Say no more, gov.

Homeland is a show I've watched week by week on RTE2 since it began. First series or two was very good and it dipped around the middle when it tried to focus on the family too much. But once they were gone I thought it picked back up. It only finished its final series recently and had a pretty good conclusion.

Season 1 and 2 were fantastic. can't remember season 3 except the dramatic ending. Didn't watch any of it since. But I understand it didn't just bomb away. I've heard lots of positives about it. Must try to get back into it. I like those CIA/spy yarns.

That scene with Brody in the bunker in season 1 was some TV. I think I was sweating as much as he was.

I lasted two seasons then gave up. Enjoyed the first season, second season was poor and offered nothing new.

Every time I see mention of a Kingdom series, I remember that I still haven't watched all of the Lars von Trier miniseries released as The Kingdom back in the 90s (later remade into the mediocre Kingdom Hospital with Stephen King's involvement).

For clarity - the von Trier miniseries is not a zombie series, but rather about weird goings-on at probably the most unlucky hospital in the world...

I like that kind of stuff too but that bunker scene was the start of me wanting the terrorists to win

Really? Just wondering why? I thought Carrie, Saul and Quinn were likable characters. Can't remember the rest.

Actually a really great show as well with excellent characters. Shame it was cancelled though it does have a reasonable, if a bit rushed, ending.

I noticed that myself. Plus I found the female characters rather annoying and would have liked them to pipe down a bit. Must be the fundamentalist in me.

Hercule Poirot · 02-07-2020 07:01PM

They should have had the balls to end it the way they initially wanted with Season 1, but they saw the dollar signs and sold out. After Season 3 ended, and the way it ended, I didn't bother going back.

PsychoPete · 02-07-2020 08:16PM

Feck it, I thought it was another season of zombie goodness

This is my answer to the other thread "the perfect Saturday afternoon film". Could watch this over and over again. The soundtrack is a regular on my playlist aswell.

Without question the best Hollywood film of the last two years - a blistering, razor-sharp shot of adrenaline. Anyone who missed it in the cinema, this is up there with the likes of The Raid at the top-tier of modern action filmmaking. Still impressive Christopher McQuarrie (and of course Cruise himself as the de facto second director at this stage) went from its decent predecessor to this - major leap in confidence and quality.

Will watch this. I think I've missed a few of the recent ones. Must catch up.

Do you have to have seen the other movies to watch this and make sense of who's who and what's going on?

johnny_ultimate · 03-07-2020 10:14AM

It definitely follows up on plot threads from 3 and Rogue Nation in particular if you haven’t seen them. So yeah it’s a definite sequel in that sense. A lot of it is self explanatory on its own terms, but you’ll definitely be wondering who a few characters are if you haven’t seen the earlier ones.
