Silo: The Getaway (2023)
Almost stopped watching.....
Falling hundreds of feet onto a pile of hard junk and coming away with a bruised arm???? Please! No way that she could survive that. At that point I almost gave up on the series. And shortly she's popping up and running around again. There was also a continuity error in the flashback scene of the heroine and her boyfriend talking in that below ground area.... first her sweater was off one shoulder, but when the cameras changed it was on both shoulders, and when the cameras switched again it was back to being off the shoulder. Reminded me of the error in The Untouchables when Sean Connery's shirt collar was open in one shot, then buttoned in the next, then open again. Back to Silo..... I thought it was very slow in the middle episodes, but at least it picked up steam in the last couple.
1923: One Ocean Closer to Destiny (2023)
Boring, wasted episode
The romance between Spencer and Alex is taking too much screen time and just slowing things down too much. And her character is really becoming intolerable with all her little witticisms and cuteness. How many times did she say she was "bedded"? Hate to say it, but I was kind of hoping that the ocean would finish her off. Spencer is not exactly the ideal of a magnetic character either. Yeah, I get that he's the strong, silent type who is running away from his war trauma, but it's too much and it makes him rather dull.
I wish there was some way to bring back Sam Elliot in this series. It really needs someone like him. I like Harrison Ford, and I know he's supposed to be old in this series, but he really IS old and has lost much of his dynamism unfortunately.
1923: Ghost of Zebrina (2023)
Needs attention to historical details.
A cowboy refers to the "silent pictures". The year is 1923 and "talkies" were still several years down the road. So movies were not yet referred to as silent pictures because that was all there was. It's like someone in 1955 said they were watching a "black and white TV". Color TVs were not around yet, so a TV was just a TV and we didn't refer to it as being black and white.
This is just personal.... but the Alexandra character really annoys me. Don't know if its the character or the actress playing the part.
In fact, on the whole, this prequel to Yellowstone has a much less likeable set of characters than the really good series I just watched, "1883". Helen Mirren is the exception. And I really don't get the business of having a dead person narrating the story.
