  • The Watch

    From Charles Pierson@1:106/127 to All on Mon Jan 4 21:58:30 2021
    I watched the first 2 episodes of The Watch, which has been years in planning.

    It takes place in Ankh Morpoor, from Terry Pratchetts Discworld.

    I happened to see an ad for it on Facebook.For some reason I will never understand, I read the comments. Someone said it looked like soneobe took
    old Monty Python bits and mixed them with alk the old crap they could.

    Needless to say, I don't believe they ate familiar with Prachetts writing.

    So..... no good? Or just ok?

    It was OK. It's only using Pratchett's setting, not characters from what I
    can tell, So it's taking some time to learn the characters.

    Well, I'm glad you mentioned it, because I had no idea it was out. I've added to the DVR record list. Thanks. ;-)
