Guest Gary C Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I haven't watched any of these yet either (like This is England, I'm missing a decent winter of Channel 4), but the next/latest episode has Toby Kebbell in it and I really like him as an actor. He played the younger brother in Dead Man's Shoes (Warp film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Anyone else catch the possible allusions to Brooker's own life in 15,000,000 Merits? I mean he started out being a really harsh critic of TV in print, then got a TV show and was still a harsh critic of TV but, you know, as part of TV culture. And his wife (who co-wrote the episode) was a presenter for the Xtra Factor...

Guest Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Did anyone else see the third episode tonight? Far, far darker than the previous episodes, it actually got to the point where it was quite awkward to watch. Fantastic, but unlike the previous two I'm not sure if I really would want to watch this one back (which in the context of the episode could have been where Jesse Armstrong was going with it).

Fantastic, but unlike the previous two I'm not sure if I really would want to watch this one back (which in the context of the episode could have been where Jesse Armstrong was going with it). I felt like that with the second one. It was really annoying actually. I didn't learn anything from the show, it just fucked me off. It's not like we are heading for times that shitty. Brooker needs to have a little bit of faith in humans. Jeez. I get that its just a tv show, but i liked it when he made funny tv :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YO303 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Brilliant. That whole ending sequence was hard to watch...heartbreaking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm not done with it but the scene where they are having joyless awful sex while both remembering better sex is just. Aieeeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 oh dear it just gets worse you are right this is hard to watch this was written by peep show dude, right? it figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdust Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Kinda reminded me of a Philip k Dick novel this one. I think each episode has been great in its odd little way, wonder if they will make anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i thought it was a bit like if you took peep show, condensed every awkward, cringe-worthy moment from the entire show down into a fine liquid, chemically extracted all the humour that eases the situation out of it, and then injected the foul remainder into a phil dick novel, yeah.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i thought all 3 were brilliant and i hope they make more. the idea of the redo and how it would fuck with your mind to be able to replay stuff over and over was great. what a bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaen Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I enjoyed the fuck out of this series, it wasn't perfect sure but by far the most engaging british tv for some time. definitely had that pkd vibe! i thought the third hit more nails than the other two, it is something we can all relate to, jealousy, wanting to relive happy memories, wishing we could erase bad ones etc.. brilliant.
