Lodge 49

[Dairyfarmer]

Well that was 40 something minutes of my life I never want back!

You know the type of show that sounds exciting and you just waiting for something, anything, to happen and then the end credits roll? Can't work out how they intend to make a whole series out of it.

Sorry but it's a big remove from favorites.

Most people disappointed in a show/movie/this thread want that time back.

 

[FiestaST]

Alrighty

Ladder 49?

Gets good reviews so I'm not surprised you don't want those 40mins back!

No!!!! Don't ever want to relive those minutes. I don't want anything associated with those minutes. Can you lobotomise a memory?

I read this somewhere and it sums the show up:

There’s only so much aimless ambling one can take, though, and it’s one thing for a show to be about directionless characters, and another thing for the show itself to be directionless.

Vasectomies aren't that bad, stop being a pussy.

Let us know if it picks up in episode 3.

Let us know if it picks up in episode 3.

That would be worse than the customs official putting on the big rubber glove and saying "bend" (unless you are into that sort of thing).

Why would you look at a show like that and decide: "Oh, OK, let's download and watch this." ? It doesn't look or sound exciting in the least.....

I watched the trailer and read the write up and thought I would give it a try. When I was watching it I expected something to happen "any second now" but it was just flat. We need to give things a try (go rewatch S1E1 of Friends or Grimm), and there were mixed reviews online. It just didn't hint at anything spectacular about to happen.

I did give it a try and, IMO, it just failed horribly. It had the potential to be something but was let down in E1. No9t enough to even think about seeing what may happen down the line. There is plenty of other content out there to get through.
