When you find out that #ThePeripheral slow burn superstar character is #Connor and it is a #Halifax actor #EliGoree who is killing that role.

Piloting a real body in a real place.

@LorraineG Hubby and I are watching it. It's dang good.

@LorraineG Love it. I tried to read the book but it was too different from the show and I had to put it down. Might try again later
Show threadLorraine/ ihearthestiaNov 19, 2022
@jeffryt that’s really interesting bc I feel like it’s exactly like the book. But I read the book a while ago.
Show threadJeff Ushupun 🤷🏻‍♂️Nov 19, 2022
@LorraineG Good to know. I probably only got 5-10 pages in and gave up. Sometimes a book doesn’t speak to your mood and you need to come back at a different time. It’s definitely one I’ll try again.

@jeffryt it’s a bit weird to get into but if you can get through to where Flynne puts the headset on it’ll feel familiar.

It’s part 1 of a trilogy and part 2 is already out and is also really good. I hope they adapt it too.

@LorraineG great to know. Lately I’ve been getting bunches of books from the library but dropping fast if they don’t click with me. I go back at times. I’ll try this again because I love the premise and the show.

@LorraineG I'm loving it. Not sure the missus is.

@krady @LorraineG You are correct. I am finding it deathly dull. All these people having arch conversations about nothing. I’m OUT.
Show threadLorraine/ ihearthestiaNov 19, 2022
@trishyb @krady what? Arch conversations about nothing is the best telly cmon

My problem is that I'm finding it so boring that I'm missing valuable information. I'm going to blame my COVID brain.

@krady @LorraineG @trishyb @Caelen and I are also enjoying it a lot

@bcmorr @krady @LorraineG @Caelen I guess I'll just stick to my boat-where-everyone's-got-a-secret show and my Bollywood films.
Show threadLorraine/ ihearthestiaNov 19, 2022
@krady @Caelen @trishyb @bcmorr well now what boat would that be?
Show threadKeith BradyNov 19, 2022
@LorraineG @Caelen @trishyb @bcmorr 1899. If you liked Dark and like boats it's for you. Trailer will tell you pretty quickly.
Show threadtrishybNov 19, 2022
@krady @LorraineG @Caelen @bcmorr Caveat: we've only watched one episode so far. It might get rubbish later.
Show threadtrishybNov 19, 2022
@LorraineG @krady @Caelen @bcmorr This one, from the Dark guys. Everyone's got secrets! Maybe they're all dead already! Certainly the deck seems magic because nobody's hair gets mussed and you can hear what they're saying very clearly!

@krady right now I’m tallying up how much they stayed true to the book, which is difficult bc the book is different for everyone.

For me, the London house was important; it is exactly as I imagined, maybe a tad more windows.

I was also really invested in Connor/ Burton relationship and I think they’ve done a great job.

There’s a bit of “this worked really well in Ozark so let’s do it again” energy going on in the Tennessee stuff, which is annoying anyway bc it should be BC.

Show threadKeith BradyNov 19, 2022
@LorraineG I can see how moving location like that would be very annoying. BC seems a better, crazier location. Haven't read the book, meant to at one point but then found out the show was coming so put it to the back of the queue. Thinking about it now.
