Thought this one was a lot of fun. Definitely worth the time.This is perhaps ironic, given the discussion on the movie trailer thread. Started watching The Gentlemen on Netflix. It's derivative of the movie of the same name. Stars Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings. We absolutely loved the first two episodes. The dialogue is just so clever. Ings is very funny as Freddy. James and Scodelario have some sexual tension going, even though a relationship isn't suggested yet.
Last episode of Fallout was a big ol' helping of meh. Series started out interesting and then just went nowhere. I'd say pass. I kept Amazon Prime for an extra month for this?
Fallout. Prime. Started it last night and love it so far. They absolutely nailed it with the look, the feel, the costumes, the music. Ella Purnell is adorable and then some as the young vault dweller. Aaron Moten is solid as member of the Knights of the Brotherhood. Walton Groggins kills it as a Hollywood cowboy actor who mutates into a ghoul and is the Gunslinger. The attention to detail and the visuals are just stunning. I don't know how good the story will be and in some ways it doesn't matter. It's too much fun anyway.
Anyone else watching Shogun? I am enjoying it enough that I may read the book. James Cavell isn't Mitchner, but his books are meaty. This story seems worth the investment in time.
(I've read Taipan and Noble House, I probably should read Whirlwind as well.)
I have to say, not knowing the material, it's been good so far.I think I would rather read the book.

I first saw her around 10 years ago in "Wildlike" and thought she was great. I've followed her career, but she's gotten a disappointingly small number of decent roles in the intervening years.Ella Purnell is adorable and then some as the young vault dweller.
