Holy ######.... this is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.

Ditto that, started reading the trilogy the other day too, I'm hooked. One thing I'm really liking about it is that it covers the decline, not just completely sleeping through it like Walking Dead. (Not that I dislike that series either mind you.)

Best looking cgi for a show in a VERY long time!! loving it, season 2 already been green lit, can't wait!!

The CGI was average I found. The scene with them stuck at the filling station, where the exterminator throws a molotov on the vampire, that looks really badly done. I mean other than that, the plot is pretty much guessable from here. Its so cliche, and eventually they will catch the servant, then make him lead them to the master...ja da ja da ja da

This thread just reminded me I need to watch this past Sunday nights episode off my DVR.

I read the first 2 books, still going to read the 3rd, and so far I feel they have done a damn good job of translating the books to the screen.

It is a little hokey at times (which I believe is intentional), and sometimes the CGI is not the best out there, but overall it is a damn good show, and glad to read Season 2 has already been greenlit.

Good episode, feels like the show is progressing nicely. Every time they drop the family drama for an episode it improves beyond doubt into probably the best new show on TV. I feel as they clear the families out we won't see much more of it either as much as they are showing at the moment anyway. They're building into some great seasons. 

 

That ending with the son and gran. All I'm thinking the entire time is don't you f**king do it. Don't you dare do the cliche.

Thank you. :laugh:

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
