    Jfc I’m pretty damn glad I pirated 28 Years Later and didn’t go to the cinema to watch it like I’d planned. I hadn’t watched any trailers or read any reviews.

    And, what in the ever loving shit was that pile of utter wank thrust upon my eyes?

    1/10 and it gets the 1 point purely for the Power Rangers scene because by that point I genuinely didn’t think it could possibly get any worse but nope, to my utter disbelief they managed to subvert my expectations and pull it off.

    That film has no redeeming features and I want money back for my time wasted.

    Fucking hell, I really hated that film. I should’ve turned it off 5 minutes in when it became apparent that the opening scene wasn’t a parody.

    If they’d have called it “Monty Python’s 28 inches later” it would’ve still been a shit Monty Python film by their standards, but at least I would’ve known what to expect.

    I tried watching that recently and gave up.

    Season 1 I found some what intriguing, but heavily preferred the bits set in the past.

    Season 2 I found myself browsing my phone during the scenes set in the present because I wasn’t interested in them whatsoever / bored.

    Season 3 I made it to about 1/3 of the way through mostly ignoring the present, until one person is facing punishment in the past and I realised I was bored of it all, and if that person (the very last character I liked) was gone so was I. So I read an overview covering the rest of the season instead of watching it which was more than sufficient. Watched the last couple of mins of the final episode just to see the cliffhanger though.

    Edit: Also, I now want everyone in the past to die as I hate all the characters that much, but the fact so many are alive in the present means they have plot armor and so I will never get that timely gratification.

    I miss that too. I hate having to watch a 10+ min recap or instead try to remember intricate plot details of shows you’ve not watched in 2+ years…

    But still, shame about Duster as it was cheesy fun. On the subreddit the running theme was that it was on people’s watch lists but they hadn’t got round to watching it yet, or we’re just starting to watch it so it had low viewer numbers. For me I watched it all in the space of about 3-4 days after it was all out and right before watching the last episode I saw the news… Fortunately though, it doesn’t end on a big cliffhanger and works as a single season show.
