By pure accident I discovered that Fear The Walking Dead is actually doing a third season. I’m staggered they didn’t cancel it, it must rate well, because it’s utter garbage.
Despite that, I still caught up on the first three episodes for some reason and to my surprise (despite a laughable season premiere) it’s actually not too bad.
Ta, Dunlop. Is it being shown on SBS live, at all?
And do you have any idea on when Bosch is coming on SBS? I subscribed to Amazon Prime Video, just for Bosch, and it’s marked as unavailable, which I thought was a bit of a rip-off.
It was one of the lowest rating shows HBO has ever renewed, it didn’t make much money. It got a third season off the back of critical acclaim, not commercial success, and that’s a fair effort considering the critics were lining up to bury Damon Lindelof again.
I get it’s a very bizarre and somewhat devisive premise, but I honestly don’t get what you mean by ‘Inception wannabe.’
On the Bosch front, no, in the past TV Tonight have reported airing dates a month in advance of the premiere, so I wouldn’t expect anything until August at the earliest.
Re: Handmaid’s Tale: No air date yet, but almost all of their on demand exclusive titles have gotten a run on SBS at some stage, albeit in double episodes and starting after 11pm (these are foreign language though). Given it is a buzzy English language show, I’d expect they’ll hold off a month or 2 to drive traffic to on demand before giving it a FTA run, as it is in English that ought to ensure it an earlier timeslot but may not protect it from airing in 2hr blocks.
The last bit explains how she hit the 'Strictly Ballroom’ line so perfectly!
It had the potential to go down the Euro-noir path of recent years (no really, the real culprit is being focused on this week) but the two leads, in particular, held it above that.
I watched that scene at the end through slatted fingers.
Dunno whether the second season can be sustained, though.
I didn’t buy the whole international assassin or parallel universe thing
I love bizarre concepts, David Lynch being one of my favourites, but when series try to be surreal but come off derived or contrived, I think the writers are just being lazy.
The 3rd series only had 8 episodes & still they needed filler to achieve this. The aboriginal song dance episode was a crock, the one on the ferry was just an excuse to show off some Aussie T&A, but didn’t add anything to the series.And the whole premise of why Kevin keeps coming back to life, is that he has dual identities in the parallel dimension full of dead people? The 2 identities being an assassin & the POTUS?? WTF
Twin Peaks showed how to do parallel universes in a some what believable fashion, this show didn’t.
