Happy Wednesday folks!
What have we all been watching this week?
I finished season 2 of This Fool which was great.
Currently sitting on my arse watching episode 7 of Hijack which has been a brilliant wee surprise. Not usually a fan of scary airplane stuff but this has me hooked.
Righteous Gemstones season 3 finished up this week too. Love a bit of Danny McBride and this season has been phenomenal.
Can’t forget What We Do in the Shadows - hilarious as ever.
Huge Pratchett fan also, so quite disappointed as I’ve been saving that for this weekend. Still give it a go as I’m much in the same boat as you with regards to Tennant and Sheen.
Edit to add - have you given the Long Earth series a go that he did with Stephen Baxter?
I guess I’d caveat that I’ve never really enjoyed any of the TV adaptations, but they keep making them, so someone must be enjoying them!
The Long Earth series is brilliant, I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t feel very Pratchetty but it scratches an alternate universe sci fi itch in a very satisfying way.
I’m with you I can never get away with the adaptations. I think they just feel kind of empty because his books were always like he was personally there telling you the story and making side jokes, so without that extra presence it’s just weird.
As this is a telly thread I got all excited and wondered if someone had created a TV series of the Long Earth books … but you just mean the books don’t you?
I’m not the person you wrote that reply to, but I definitely enjoyed them, but then I’m almost as big a fan of Stephen Baxter as I am of Terry Pratchett.
