Dear lord this has gone horribly down hill. Season 4 is shockingly bad - stiff wooden acting, rammed and jammed in tick box diversity, awful musical numbers, character personality transplants, anime recaps as the budget didn’t stretch far enough for anything else. The character portrayals are weak vs the games; most seem to be a juvenile snarky caricature of the characters you know. Triss and Yen are examples - the sorceresses would struggle to pull a rabbit out of a hat in this while the rest of the cast you’d think would struggle to tie a shoelace independently. What a load of old tosh! Cancel season 5 and spare us the misery!

I enjoyed it, not quite as good as some of the slasher series but still a good watch. Can’t wait for another season

Star Wars is now a preteen school drama… It’s spy kids with aliens, they just don’t know what to do with this franchise. Another one I won’t be watching unfortunately

PC - I started off liking this game and was taken in by the graphics. The story is ok, I’m about 70% of the way through the game. The problem with the game is the world is huge but rather empty apart from copy/paste pollution zones and the sky beacon things to blow up. The navigation system in the game is rough. It’s incredibly difficult to navigate the world and specific quests require specific items but the navigation and waypoint system makes this nearly impossible to figure out what you need and where the item is located. This clunky system has made me not really want to engage with any more fetch quests which may have shallowed my experience of the game by excluding storylines/narrative to avoid the impossible fetching quests. It’s a shame as they could have done much with this world and story but naff mechanics got in the way. I might go back to it, but not until I’ve played my unplayed library (20+ games) so reality is I probably won’t be back.

PC - love this game. It’s challenging but you can respec your character for free whenever you want. I have not done that so I’m piling on the level ups instead. I should probably do a respec but hey! I’m enjoying the game. It’s nice playing a game where I don’t know any of the story, characters, mythology. Even the powers are largely new to me. Great job and for a first game

It’s meh, ok at best, yet slightly below middle of the road. Lots of glaring issues: -Performance is one, regardless of the system you have (and it doesn’t look good enough to justify the poor performance). The checkpoint system is rough and because of the rubbish stealth system you find yourself replaying sections over and over. -Usual Ubisoft world (both good and bad elements) but does feel very empty much like avatar (they want you to just look at the scenery). This game is also NOT open world as marketed, it’s more like starfield’s ‘tiles’. -Bugs are definitely an issue, invisible walls being a frequent one or falling through the world on the speeder. -It feels very PG 13 - you are a scoundrel but cannot really engage in scoundrel activity unless it’s a Robin Hood scenario. -There are unkillable creatures in the world - again it feels like a kid gloves sort of thing. You feel restricted in how you can play - was this Disney’s influence? -Feels bland and half baked. If you stripped the Star Wars title from the game, I don’t think many people would have bought it. -Stealth - the system is broken, but I don’t like this is the only option to progress in large sections of the game. Maybe that’s my fault for thinking we’d have a choice of how we play the game. -Disappointing. They should have given the game/license to another studio, but in today’s age where even Bethesda is now shovelling garbage, I’m not sure who would do a good job. -Price - I wouldn’t mind paying a higher price for a solid game, I do object to paying a high price for a mediocre one; it feels cheeky. -The gun system where you can only carry one gun is stupid, why bother to let us pick up and other weapons if they can’t be kept even for a while - ladder? Drop gun. Vent? Drop gun. Slight climb? Drop gun. -It’s not the worst game ever made like some people are saying but it’s not great, nor will it be a runaway success. There definitely won’t be a sequel and unfortunately it will put other devs off from making a good open world Star Wars game because they will think there isn’t the appetite for one. Maybe playing RDR2 recently with the depth of that world vs this one makes it seem worse? Not sure 🤔 Maybe we all need a break from empty ‘open world’ titles, particularly the Ubisoft ones! I’ve been burned on Avatar and now this 😂

Great show, some great actors in this franchise.

I liked this one, more of a focus on the politics of Rome rather than anything else. A few gladiator matches but nothing on Spartacus from a few years back. Enjoying the show

It’s really bad to be honest. Not resident evil Netflix bad, but it’s not much better. The lead actress unfortunately cannot act (she’s like the woman out of twilight; bored with a side of meh) nor can most of the surrounding cast. It’s full of holes, characters will say one thing in a scene and then contradict themselves in the next shot. There are some intriguing parts to the story but these are often dropped or lead nowhere and more of the mundane appears instead. No one cares about the twins storyline, we’ve already seen the parent trap. Introducing another kylo with some diamantés stuck on the helmet, this felt old and stale with no mystery or intrigue as again the actor is meh - and not a stand out actor on screen, nothing like a palpatine, dooku, grievous, Vader etc but I suppose this is the script that made it like this. Again, it’s not the worst show but it’s pretty low tier. Watching with the audio description turned on does make it a more hilarious watch with the swimming scene. Annoying they introduce a character like Plagius on this show out of all they have done as clearly was going to get benched from about 2 episodes in… Doh!
