![]() Watched the 6th episode of The Haunting of Hill House.
4 episodes left but after the way this episode was written, I am starting to lose interest: this episode was a mess with all the main characters bickering and arguing with each other. It was actually quite annoying to watch. If this is how they plan to portray the characters from now on, I don't even want to know what happens next. |

![]() I do agree about James Franco in The Deuce - I find it easiest to pretend it is just the one character. An engaging show, anyway.
I finished the latest season of Daredevil a few days ago. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I didn't realise that "Dex" was actually Bullseye. If there was any explanation for his throwing/ricochet skills, surely a superpower, I must have missed it! ![]() |

![]() I just got Star Trek Discovery Season 1 on Blu Ray.
I didn't get to watch this when it was on CBS All Access and I wonder how many other folks also didn't because of the stupid only available for streaming on CBS All Access. I am not sure about this show. It doesn't feel like Star Trek to me. Gene got to be rolling in his grave. |

![]() On Episode 4 of Star Trek Discovery.
The end of Episode 2 where only 2 humans go on an away mission (not wanting to spoil it) was just plain fucking dumb. Also, the Tilly character is annoying as hell too! |

![]() Added The First to my viewing list.
It is a TV show starring Sean Penn, Rey Lucas, and Brian Lee Franklin. A sci-fi series that chronicles the effort to send the first crewed mission to Mars.

![]() Finally finish watching the entire The Haunting of Hill House series, all 10 episodes, totaling over 9 1/2 hours.

It took me over 3 weeks. http://imdb.com/title/tt6763664/ My thoughts: it could had been shorter, a lot shorter!! The repetition of the same dozens scenes over and over was fastidious: they will show a scene for example a character in the kitchen and then cut away to another scene. Then in another episode they will show another scene which seque into that character in the kitchen and then cut away again. Then in another episode they will show a bit more of just before the part before the character went to the kitchen and then the character in the kitchen. It was quite annoying that they did that over and over with dozens of set pieces. If you took all those repetitive scenes over and over each one with just a few more minutes of exposition in front of it and added them all up, you had enough material for at least 3 episodes and they don't really make that much of the difference on the story. Also episodes 6 and 7 were very annoying to watch - they were just poorly written and they kept dragging on and on like a broken record. Finally I already said this before and now that I have viewed the entire series, I will say it again: the story is about a haunted house and I don't mind a bit of character development but there was way too much character development and not enough information on the house: why is it haunted? What's the story of the people who built it and lived there before? They kind of touched on that information here and there but not in much detail and then ghosts of people past will appear and some of them except for a couple who had a bit more backstory were just there: you don't know who they are, why they are there, who they were when they were alive, what connection they had to the house, etc. There were also parts that made no sense in term of continuity of the whole story especially in Episode 10. Honestly if they ended the series at the end of Episode 9, it would also not had made any difference. This series is based on the 1969 novel of the same name which was also the basis of the 1963 film (the horro classic with Julie Harris and Claire Bloom) and the 1999 film (the stinker with Llam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones, remember it?), both with the title of The Haunting. I think I still like the 1963 film adaptation better than this over long 9 1/2 hours plus series. ![]() |
