slothian Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I see that the word "slaves" has been misspelled here as "friends". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSS Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Dave and Ian embark on what might be their most divisive show to date, Russell T. Davies' Dark Season. In the first three-episode story, the sinister Mr. Eldritch donates free computers to a local school and gives each child a computer to take home, free of charge. The only person not convinced of Mr. Eldritch's good intentions is pupil Marcie Hatter. Marcie, alongside her friends Reet and Thomas, decide to investigate and discover that a man whose car has the numberplate "Nemesis" might not be as benevolent as he claims. Ian is unhappy at finding his own Crime Traveller, there is a celebration of the career of Cyril Shapps, and they encounter their second Oscar winner.

Missy Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 While I really, really, really want to give Dark Seasons a fair shake, I had to turn episode one off after a few minutes because I actively wanted to punch Marcie in her face. From the moment she set foot on screen, she became the worst lead character I have seen in a long time. If not ever. Maybe she'll have an arc and become likable by the end, but, thus far, she is despicable.All that said, I cannot wait to listen to this episode. So far I'm six minutes in and Ian's contempt for Marcie is already palpable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mockery Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 While it has been, somewhat, disheartening to find that others don't enjoy this as much as I do I find it interesting that it is dividing people. If you'd asked me when we began what the most divisive show we'd cover would be I wouldn't have said Dark Season in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
