    Watched it and thought it was okay, watchable but nothing more.

    Gave JungE about 10 minutes and gave up, had heard good reports about it and it looks great but the actors and dialogue sounded atrocious even for an Asian yoke

    The new series of Fauda is just class, the last 2 episodes to go tonight

    Is Fauda nuanced in its depiction of the region's conflict? Given how widely praised it is, I'm assuming it's not just Israeli propaganda dressed up as gritty drama?

    I tried Vesper, but lost interest after 20 minutes.

    I see the new remaking of All Quiet on the Western Front is available on Netflix now.

    It got 7.8 on IMDB. Worth a watch, all 2:28 hours of it?

    Let's see...

    My interest rose for Lockwood being from Joe Cornish, then lowered by its young cast and presumed YA origin and tone. Shame; was a similar reaction to The Midnight Club: ooh new thing from Mike Flanagan!! Oh, it's for/starring teenagers.

    the reviews are pretty good for it so i'll give it a go



  • Registered Users Posts: 31,828 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I have watched the first three episodes and it is enjoyable, the lead trio are very good and it's a really interesting premise.

    I would say it skews pretty young. When it comes to Joe Cornish stuff I would say if you like the kid who would be king you might enjoy it.

    Ah Terminator 3: a film that is genuinely brilliant in its last 10 minutes, to the extent it's an entirely different movie from the preceding runtime. And one of those sequels that has become retroactively better thanks to all the even shíttier follow-ups that came after it. Not good as such, just more accomplished and coherent.

    Fauda does not paint the operational tactics of Israeli defence forces in a nice light. It doesn't sugar coat anything, just tells the story primarily from the perspective of Israeli forces.



  • Registered Users Posts: 19,929 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy




  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,312 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Possibly, as it is very clear how the Israeli's perform in the show. If you were already leaning towards the Paletinian perspective, it might reinforce your opiniion.

    I would never watch that type of show but can't stop watching this, the editing and replays of action along with the recorded commentary of contestants watching others do battle is slickly done. Some great characters among the contestants also. Wholesome yet entertaining
