      I heard that is based on a true story.

        Except those people were from North Korea making their way to South Korea and needed all their superpowers to survive being sliced and diced, with non-stop bullet holes ruining their fashion clothing. Not to mention being torn apart by a few anti-personnel mines.
        Actually, that would make quite a good series now that I think about it.

        Couldnt watch this after learning that the bully did some things to the extend of the show when she was young. Whys korea either no bullying or VERY brutal bully. theres no in between.

    One piece live action.

      I was quite surprised after Netflix's other attempts.

      I've heard good things about One Pace if you decide to get in on the anime

        Personally I like a change of pace

        Ah "One Pace" the speedy way to binge-watch your anime! 😉

          One Pace is a fan project that recuts the One Piece anime in an endeavor to bring it more in line with the pacing of the original manga by Eiichiro Oda. The team accomplishes this by removing filler scenes not present in the source material.

          It's a fair amount of time saved -

          One Pace is 45% faster to watch compared to the original One Piece anime. That's more than 137 hours saved!

            @ihfree: didnt know that was a real thing ;o

            @ihfree: Less than 10% of the anime version is filler (Only 97 of the 1070+ episodes).

            There is zero chance you are getting through the show 45% faster unless you just skip massive chunks of the original story.

              @infinite: so many useless panning and reaction shots and flashbacks of stuff that happened a few episodes ago

              • infinite on 14/10/2023 - 23:35
                -2

                @follow: Flashbacks are a huge part of the original manga. It's integral to the characters, their development and the plot progression.

    • nobro25 on 15/10/2023 - 09:12

      One Outs! It's an underrated anime about baseball.

    • Munki on 17/10/2023 - 11:48

      I was so excited when I heard they got the Japanese VAs to do the dubbing, but when I watched it, it didn't match the live action at all, so I just watched it in English.

      I'm just glad they didn't mess up one of my favourite series. Now I wonder if they could turn Hunter X into a good live action…Not that I'm asking for one.

        I like watching reruns of "Today Tonight"

        Ooo… Have you got the one about the feral houso family in VIC whose kids would steal other people's dogs and cats to claim the reward for returning them, who were given a rural home (I think in Shepparton) by the government because no-one wanted to live near them?

        The best part is at the end, where they show glimpses of what happens on Today Tonight, tomorrow.

    I don’t enjoy much free to air TV, but the one show I’m in love with lately is “Have you been paying attention “ love the host and love the guest people they have on. Good comedy and I get a decent summary of the news for the week. Tom Gleisner is a genius

            @Moneyinthebank: Youtube had full episodes of The Late Show as recently as 2018. I grabbed a bunch but that HD crapped itself.
            There is a Best Bits (Champagne Edition) dvd. It sits upon my shelf.

    Three Body (Chinese version) was pretty good if you, like me, are waiting for the Netflix version. I hear they are planning a spin off about the detective, Da Shi.

    Demon Slayer… Daughter got me hooked.
    BEEF… was great., some was even relatable.
    Shoresy… only just started new season.
    Fisk… great Aussie comedy
    Peacemaker… A roll that actually make sense for John Cena
    Barry… Interesting twist on the typical hit man genre
    The Boys and Gen V… I like the idea of unhinged superheros

      Letterkenny is absolutely brilliant, started watching it recently and am 5 seasons in. Can't wait to catch up to Shoresy.

        • freefall101 on 13/10/2023 - 23:40

          That's a shame, although not really surprising. There's not a whole lot really going on conceptually and I already miss how fast they rattled stuff off in season 1.

          Looking forward to being told to tug my balls regularly in Shoresy.

      I've seen most of those @pegaxs. I'll have to check out Demon Slayer, Shoresy and I'm sure I've seen BEEF (two people attack each other after a close car accident?).

      • pegaxs on 15/10/2023 - 17:44
        +1

        Yeah, BEEF is the tit for tat road rage that just gets way out of hand…

        Demon Slayer is a Japanese Anime. It's not for everyone, and one of the characters can get quite annoying.

        Shoresy is the offshoot of the character from Letterkenny (if you have seen Letterkenny, you know who…)

        • Loopholio on 15/10/2023 - 18:35

          I've never heard of Letterkenny, I'll check 'em out tonight. BEEF wasn't amazing, but had a fantastic ending.

    Not watching anything at present but earlier this year enjoyed Good Omens 2, and Alone Australia (needs more bears).

    • danwylie on 17/10/2023 - 16:44

      Yeah Alone Australia really suffers for the lack of predators. And the rules around trapping (understandably) really restrict what they can catch, no-one want to see a dead platypus. And also just not cold enough to get the shelters and stuff they build in the original, my other favourite bit.

      Man season 11 is unfunny. Glad the cast and crew can keep making more money off it at least, same with zombie Simpsons, they have all earned the easy money for what they gave us in the golden age.

      • ihfree on 14/10/2023 - 16:46

        Would agree unfortunately. Ok at best to cringe.

        • AustriaBargain on 14/10/2023 - 16:57

          My theory is that the soul of a good episode is quality writing, good joke writing. And a good joke writer commands a very high fee. As the viewership declined, and ad revenue declined, they could just not afford to pay writers a small fortune to keep writing 10 quality jokes per minute episodes.

      It's got Little Finger from Game of Thrones in it. And that Irish actor with the birthmark on her face, it actually has a lot of relatively famous actors in it.

      I can't stand the new Mother and Son. It's just awful. The actor who plays the mother is good, but she's dragged down by everyone else. The writing is a bunch if meh.

        Have to agree. I watched an episode and while I never expected it to be like the original I really felt that good actors were let down by a mediocre script. I wasn’t going in for a second dose.
        Thinking about it I might watch some of the old one……

    There are 2 distopian series on Apple TV that I love.
    One is Severence and the other is Silo.
    Both still just have 1 season out atm

    • AustriaBargain on 14/10/2023 - 16:38

      Silo is pretty generic. But I do like a mystery and a conspiracy. Though I hope the mystery isn't just keeping them in the silo because the people at the top like control and power.

      Severance I like more because it's all mystery and conspiracy, and no filler.

    • Smol Cat on 14/10/2023 - 21:20

      Silo was not very good. Would not recommend. It strays far from the books in the reason of why they are kept in the silo and the acting was sub par.

  • immortanwayne on 14/10/2023 - 15:25

    Severance was amazing. Watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix at the moment. I don't usually watch horror but really enjoying it.

    One Piece live action was really good. Made me start the anime.

    If you like mockumentary style comedies, Jury Duty on Prime was really great. Interesting premise where one of the cast doesn't know that it's a show and thinks everything is real. Kind of like a mix of the Truman Show and The Office.
