Started season 2 yesterday. Seems to still work, though there's a significant character from season 1 missing.
In his book on the Sixties, Arthur Warwick talks about "the long 1960s" starting circa 1958 and going up to the early seventies. You can see that here, which is set in late 1957.

one of the most beautifully shot series/films i’ve seen for a long time.6 times I've tried to watch it, and every time I've fallen asleep without finishing the first episode.
it does get a little repetitive but i liked….a lot.

Look out, he's got a gnu!

It's definitely slow paced, but I enjoyed that. There are exactly zero sympathetic characters, though. I'll give you that.
The final episode in Venice I could just watch with both the sound and subtitles off and enjoy the visual delight of it.

Jodie Comer is very good in this - but it really depends on the budget I think
If this was low budget, then they did really well with what they had. But yeah, it doesn't quite hit the mark - whatever the (water) mark is, I still don't regret watching it...I think it’s because there was no real jeopardy. At no point did I ever really think the end would be different to what it was. Compare that to the film Children of Men which was somewhat thematically similar but superior in many ways.Jodie Comer is very good in this - but it really depends on the budget I think

I thought it was decent, maybe 7/10. Very low-key.

Yes, very unexciting for an apocalyptic disaster movie!

Yeah, I agree with The End We Start From being unexciting... Probably because it tried to actually be realistic? I've been thinking about this... If London was flooded, many people's experience woud probably be more like that instead of crazy drama all the time. But yeah, it being realistic made it a bit dull. It is literally how one person would experience it rather than an overall view of everything that would happen.
I still think it was an interesting take on one likely apocalyptic scenario.
Another movie that explores a catastrophe of a watery kind from one family point of view, and which is a lot more intense is "The Impossible". BUT that was about a tsunami and much more intense for obvious reasons.

I thought it very unlikely that a woman with a young toddler was allowed to sign up to do the clean up too?
And the nappy situation was really glossed over
Yes I wondered about your first point. Also when she was walking to the coast to get to the island, where did she get food along the way?I thought it very unlikely that a woman with a young toddler was allowed to sign up to do the clean up too?

the lead two actors were too old for those roles. constantly being referred to as ‘young men’ when they are in they early 40s!
up to 35 you ‘might’ get away with that one

And what’s more weird about that is that even with the make-up/ prosthetics she’s doesn’t remotely look anything like the woman she’s playing.

Don’t know dystopian sci-Fi/ fantasy is your thing, but we’re enjoying Sweet Tooth.
It's definitely not. And we usually have different taste

Fair enough l. Have you watched Beef? Please don’t take our differing tastes as a marker. It is extraordinary good, and not just award-winning but actually breaking award-winning records.It's definitely not. And we usually have different taste
I've watched it. I didn't think it was as good as everyone else.

Making Sofia Vergara look anything like Griselda Blanco was always going to be a challenge, tbf.

Reckon it's down to individual taste and experience. Obviously.
Personally, I can never quite understand when people claim there's nothing on telly/ streaming to watch - but that's just a subjective thing. For us, there's usually always something to find on Netflix (and other subscriptions).
I don't usually continue watching something unless Ithink it's good. If something is just okay, I'll stop.
Also looking for TV shows not films as I don't have the concentration or time for films after a long working day plus kids.
