Yeah, my Mrs likes the zombie shit too, otherwise I never would have given it a second look. The last season was a bit disappointing and it's not something that I would rewatch in the future, but overall I'm glad a watched it. I think they did a decent job developing the characters, the plot has more holes than a colander, but the cast made up for it.
I might give it a run. I don't recall not enjoying any of your recommendations.
Renn is very hot.
Another quality recommendation. I binged season 1 over the weekend, they have done a great job making both sides easy to sympathise with on some levels, which I found surprising given how the real situation would be over there. Most of the media we get dehumanises the "enemys of the west". As brutal as some of the things portrayed in this show are, it does very well in not portraying the characters as mindless monsters.
Animal Kingdom has been slow. Lots of little sub plots with Renn and Pope. Certainly misses the leader of the pack in Janine. Her control over the sons has shown just how dysfunctional they are without her. I think the next few weeks are going to get interesting. Great line when Craig and Derryn do the job on tech geeks and Craig discovers they are using one dollar bills to cover massive bets with Bitcoin etc. ” You guys suck at being rich”
More Renn is a good thing. More young Smurf is great too.
From a story point I don't agree - from a visual point of view I have to agree.
I was definitely meaning visual. I don't hate the story part, it gives a bit of insight as to why Pope is as f**ked up as he is. Not really critical to the overall storyline of the show though. I will admit, it's part of the reason I wonder if they would have been better off having cut that bit down or out all together and wrapped it up this season.
The Pope stuff is doing my head in. The default for the show for three seasons now has been to have him stand there looking perplexed.
I just watched the first season after seeing you two discussing it in this thread. It's a good show. Although I was having real trouble at times telling the Palestinians and Israelis apart at first, not helped I think by some of the Israelis being Arab maybe? Anyway, I got my Palestinian friend to watch it and let me know and he said he couldn't tell half the time either. We both agree that the Palestinian they call the Jew looks like an Arab too.
