Gave American Primeval 5 mins but had to shut off with 10 mins because that lead actress felt unnatural.

Watched Hostiles and Last of the Mohicans instead. Both delivered.

        So what I have learnt is that everyone thinks American primeval is shit, except Ed who thinks is superb!

        I think Ed you should turn the tv off and stick to ledging it at the coalface and writing up those informative restaurant reviews

                Interesting. I know people on here love Sicario but I had the same issue with the bint in this. I know I sent several strongly worded letters with zero replies.

                  Also tried watching American Primeval and couldn’t watch more than 20 minutes. Felt like a rehash of all the other American West dramas just with a few doses of violence.

                  I don’t know if the same is true everywhere but Finnish Netflix now has the new 4K restauration of Once Upon a Time in the West. Awesome movie if you have a really big telly.

                  I’ve seen two episodes of Primeval and frankly, that’s more than it deserves. There are the three types of characters there, well four really: the stupid, the unlucky, the incredibly lucky and those with a very bad aim. Shite.

                    I thought American Primeval was really good. Well acted and shot with some incredible camerawork and cinematography with the snowy mountain vistas and realistic battle sequences. Often these sort of “historical fiction” things are just horribly failed actors in shitty costumes saying terrible lines but this was definitely not that. The actual stories could have been a bit less basic maybe with longer story arcs and more characters but I am hoping for a season 2.

                      C_J so you thought the whole isolated women being told to stay for good reason and yet contradicting the advice was realistic

                      303abuser you jumped it massively!

                              Along_the_Wire fair point, Grant. I’ve yet to meet a woman who can’t follow simple instructions & keep their nose out of shit they have no business getting involved in……

                              that was probably the single most realistic part!!!!!!! 😆

                                        A 9 hour documentary on Prince was was due to be released on Netflix but has now been pulled by the Prince estate. Shame as I reckon that would have been great.
