Torrent you mean?
Yeah, i've watched the first two episodes, and loving it. Very dark themes for a kids series - count olaf is played as slightly comic but extremely creepy, but very good - and plenty of references and lines aimed at a grown up audience too.
I really enjoyed that. Wish they'd make more though that's not likely I think.
I watched this: I thought it was terrible!

I watched it on your recommendation, and waited out the slow start. But the characters were all very two dimensional and daytime soap-like, and I didn't feel any deep involvement. However, the clockwork episode end revelations and cliffhangers, which felt very Dan Brown-ish, sucked me in.
I was keen on the idea of an earth-bound ship with generations of crew who thought they were in space. But although fashions, music and attitudes aboard were believably Sixties-ish, the technology wasn't. The digital clocks on the generators, the software, and so on. Also, when it morphed from sci fi into fantasy I lost interest. When I realised I'd given all this time to a 'weird wean' story, I was annoyed.
And then they killed the only character I had any investment in!
So, I gave it one star.
Not recommended.
I'm not having a go at you! I could have stopped any time I wanted. But didn't.
I watched Happy People recently and thought it was amazing. So interesting to see people who truly live off the land and how they do it. The constant dedication to seasonal tasks was particulary interesting.
I got very annoyed while watching Child 44. Those Russian accents just got right on my tits. I'd also recently read the book which while not amazing, is a decent page-turner that is crying out to be filmed but sadly they made a hash of it IMO. I know films are always different to books but the story in the book is just more exciting than in the film.
