I just learned of the existence of the 2014 miniseries adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn. It's not on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu. Does anyone know if it's available (or will be soon) in the US somewhere else?

PriorMarcus posted:I worked on this and wasn't too happy with the end product, in fact, it got a lot of bad reviews across the board, so I'm not sure it's worth you tracking down. There was also a major problem with the sound editing (not my department) and ALL the dialogue is hard to hear. Aw, that's a shame. For you, I mean -- I guess I'm not missing much.

GreenNight posted:I finally watched season 2 of Broadchurch, and uh it was good. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the season. Without spoiling anything major, can you say what the major premise of the season was? Do the two main leads still work together?

Well, that sounds cool. I'm glad Tennant's character and Ellie didn't go off to become private investigators and solve new crimes together like some fans were speculating.

Sober posted:So someone on youtube uploaded all of last night's 19-2 s2 premiere. If you want to be scared as gently caress about guns and stuff, well here ya go. That was some Homicide level cop show work right there. Gonna have to add that to the watch list.

Sober posted:Fair warning, 19-2 isn't actually a gritty cop action show, most of the time it's more of a character drama, with some melodrama/soap-ish stuff attached. But their action stuff is pretty well done nonetheless. So...kind of like Homicide, then?  Did anyone watch Wolf Hall last night?

Uh....I don't even watch the show, but didn't someone just say that that kiss wasn't scripted but adlibbed, so calling it "incredibly cheap, bad storytelling that came out of nowhere" is kind of ridiculous. Here it is again: Zaggitz posted:He's talking about the s3 kiss which was improv'd, not in the script and should not have made the final edit based on how everyone involved talked about it after it aired.

Kaizoku posted:And why does "ad libbed" suddenly render those arguments void? Because I think the "came out of nowhere" is exactly what ad libbed means. Because it wasn't scripted, so it wasn't planned, so no one is to blame for "bad storytelling" when it apparently wasn't anyone's idea except the guy who felt an urge to kiss his coworker in the middle of a scene. E: less laughter posted:It was one of Caviezel's brain farts, true, but it's on the showrunners that they left it in and didn't cut it because they didn't want to upset their diva actor. Fair enough

It's a shame Jason Isaacs can't catch a break and get on a show that lasts more than one season, because he's a fantastic actor.

What scene was that? (You can spoiler tag it). It's been so long since I read the book I can barely rememer anything about it except that I liked the world but the story was glacially paced.

Does Daredevil not have its own thread? I'm halfway done and want to read people's reactions to those episodes (and things like the hallway fight, which would probably just be 6 pages of  but whatever, I want to see them!)

Contra Calculus posted:Just got done watching Season 1 of The Americans. I felt like it has been a fairly good show so far. Funny as it may sound, I really enjoyed the old lovely soviet spy tech since it's stuff that I've actually studied in university too. Hell, I was actually impressed by how accurately they portrayed a lot of said 80's soviet spy gizmos. But overall, I just really love espionage plotting in general and this show does it really REALLY well. Spooks (UK title)/MI-5 (US title)

How the gently caress is the Cigarette Smoking Man still alive? We saw him burn up in his wheelchair in a massive explosion in the series finale! Like ok, aliens are real and so is the monster that ate Queequeg, but that old man cannot cheat death and the character should be put to rest.

Other than James Spader being James Spader, is The Blacklist any good?

So, a fortnight ago I solicited opinions on The Blacklist, and I'm pretty sure your responses to a one advised me against watching it, but I did it anyway.  I've watched up to the penultimate episode of season 1 ("Berlin part 1"), but just wanted to say that I started watching for Spader but am staying for Tom, Tom rules. The moment he went from "boring husband who cares" to "I said I loved my wife because that is my job  [end credits]" was the highlight of the show so far. I'm not saying I squealed and clapped my hands like a little girl when that happened, but I really am saying it. It genuinely felt like a reward for sticking with the show that long.I happened to see a promo for this season that indicates he's still on the show, so that's really good news. If he's ever killed off, I will watch up to that episode and no further. I love James Spader and Red is a hoot, but there's too much other silliness with the writing to keep me going otherwise. Amazing quality guest-stars, though! All right, those are my thoughts, thanks for reading.

raditts posted:That also reminds me that The Swan existed, the show where ugly people had to compete to get plastic surgery. I confess, I watched The Swan, so I could follow the Television Without Pity recaps. It was as much of a  --fest as you would imagine.One thing that sticks out in my memory is a perfectly normal-looking, attractive 40-something woman being pressured by the plastic surgeon to fix her nose. There was nothing wrong with her nose, she didn't think anything was wrong with it, she didn't want to "fix" it because her daughters had the same nose and she didn't want to make them self-conscious, and the attitude of the surgeon was like Goons #21-22 before they start pissing in the well. Every minute of every episode of the show was gross and unethical. I am a worse person for having watched it.

I stopped watching GOT 2-3 years ago, and I just found out that this past season, the show made Stannis kill Shireen and then Brienne kills Stannis?? Stannis is dead?!??!?  In the books, he and Shireen are very much alive and why the gently caress would Stannis kill his daughter, who is the only person he has ever loved and his only heir WTFFF Is that show being written by a roomful of monkeys now or something?
