Basically, there was no Men or Hobbits or Pretend Gandlaf in this one - just Adar, the Elves and Sauron having a big ole battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people like Succession then it'll your cup of tea. All series on the iPlayer. https://www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/industry-season-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to try again The Penguin has been fantastic so far. EP.3 out today (?) Slow Horses is mega. I absolutely love it and Presumed Innocent on AppleTV is intriguing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love it and Presumed Innocent on AppleTV is intriguing RoP's last episode was a let down - so one good episode in 8 wasn't good, but hopefully the next series will be better - it looks like they were tying up the slightly 'crap' sub-plot storylines. I mean I'm not even being super geeky on the lore (things like the rings being made in a completely different order, a hugely changed timeline, Gandalf showing up) as you have to change things for a TV show - you can't really have - and 1,500 years later...still making the rings. But if you haven't read things like the Silmarillion, the Unfinished Tales, Children of Hurin etc then you can miss out on some decent parts that tie it together. Its the storytelling is just off - characters suddenly do things totally out of character, too many sub-plots so you don't have time to invest in them, dreadful dialogue and worst of all at points its really boring. Its super easy to mock if you're not into high fantasy. Still holding out it'll come good though as I really would like it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, sweet, hopeful, funny in the small bits of the interactions - the bit with the ghost house was brilliant. Hopefully she'll get another Bafta, and importantly - she's just fucking ace as a person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ROP was really setting itself up for an epic conclusion, but it just sort of petered out getting ready for another season. Which is always a risk with a series I suppose. Enjoying Show Trial at the moment, watched 3 of I think 5. Edited October 8 by Ani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - I think this series is going to be a bit bittersweet. It's the last one she's doing other than a Xmas special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
