I'm waiting for full series of the Peripheral, as it seems like the kind of thing I'd rather binge watch.
Having said that,
The Devils Hour is an odd one, because the premise is actually really good, but it
doesn't fucking get there until Episode 6 of 6 hour long episodes.
This would have been a really great ~2 hour film leaning entirely into the framing of the interview with Capaldi and flashback sequences filling in the details as it went starting with 'the premise' and the interviewer trying to figure out if he's a serial killer or something supernatural.
As it is, its ~4 hours of kinda crappy mystery boxes and 2spoopy cliches of jump scare apparitions, kids being weird, and people talking to people that arent there / seeing premonitions of things etc, and 2 hours of decentish thriller.
Witcher was fun. But I get it. Had its peak with the fantasy gap GoT left. With it back and LOTR, getting into later seasons Netflix, and getting better opportunities. Might as well.
There was a story going around recently about the writers and co not being fans of the books or games. Coupled with stories of Cavill’s unsuccessful attempts to bring more of that in. Yeah.
As I understand it, Henry Cavill is a consummate professional, and by that I mean he'll do whatever for the paycheck, so I think it's more the WB Superman wallet is bigger than the coin Netflix will throw for their Witcher
