Watching Dark Crystal on Netflix. Loved the film when I was a kid, really hope it turns out OK. Not sure what today's generation of kids will make of it all.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Just watched the first Epsiode of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance after having rewatched the film earlier.
That was pretty darn good! That speech at the end by Simon Pegg (The Chamberlain) about the Skeksis was really well done! I knew he was good actor but he's good as a voice actor too, no half measures or anything!
I love the fact it's still mostly puppetry with only CGI for establishing backdrops and such. Plus the gelfling actually look pretty good in this, not a bit uncanny valley and off like they do in the film.
Really looking forward to watching the rest!

@LN78 I should think that there's enough scope to get at least another season out of TDC at least if it's received well enough - and I'm yet to see anyone I know say they didn't like it - and we're the target demographic without doubt!
@JohnnyShoulder I'm quite surprised with Preacher. I really thought it might run out of steam or stray from some of the comic's wackier bits - but, it's doing very well.

@LN78 Dark Crystal is very much one of those films people grew up with on video. As a technical and artistic undertaking, Age of Resistance really is superb. I think it'll do well enough. Probably well enough for adaptation of the follow up Labyrinth comics.
I think season 4 of Preacher is going to wrap it up yeah. More of the comic storyline shows up later after season 1 - which I think was a bit of a 'proof of concept' in way to open up the audience to how 'blasphemous' the rest would be.

@LN78 The casting is pretty spot on - absolutely no complaints from me. The quality of accents especially from such a regionally not-American cast is superb!
Yeah, no studio really wanted to touch it back then - not surprising given how very religious most of America seems to be.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy have fun! I haven't watched the making of documentary at the end, saving that . That's spoilered as it's pretty common internet knowledge, but people who don't frequent entertainment sites/haven't looked through the Netflix listing may not be aware of it. Nice surprise i thought.

@LN78 Give Preacher another go, I wasn't keen at first but it soon won me over. The second season has more stuff from the comic books in there. The cast is spot on.
I'm also watching Titans on Netflix. It feels very un-DC in some parts with some supernatural elements and more Marvel type super heroes. Which is a bit weird at first. It can also be quite violent in places and is not afraid to show a bit of blood and gore when the needs arise. Which is a good thing in my book.

@LN78 Same here with Prime, I will probs go for it once I've finished Legion and my current NOW TV sub expires next month. The one day delivery thing is good and all but I know some people rely it far too much, and some of the couriers they use are a bit unreliable on weekends.

Just got to the end of Episode 4 of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
... Yeah I'm f£#@$&g loving this! That entire sequence with the Hunter at the end is so darn cool! Suprised he's voiced by that Yorkshire bloke who voices the Dacia car adverts
I know the film is pretty dark at times, but the fact the series keeps comes up saying it's only a PG at the beginning feels a bit wrong. There's some pretty dark events in this! Like the end of episode 2 with the peeper beatle and The Scientist!
It almost feels like Game Of Thrones but with puppets!
... Also Deet is adorkable. Just had to add that lol

@JohnnyShoulder Have you watched Doom Patrol? It's another one of DC Universe's shows, and I thought it was very entertaining. Great characters, constantly inventive with it's structure and some really good acting to boot, especially from Diane Guerrero. I'd definitely recommend it if you're into that sort of thing. I haven't seen Titans personally, but judging from what I've seen in promo material Doom Patrol has a darker tone however.
