Pegg and Frost together again - Truth Seekers

Tombstone · 24 Oct 2020 at 10:22

Didnt see a thread for this, not too much in the trailer to judge it by but anything with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in deserves a go imo.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are normally good value. Like the look of it !

Hold both Spaced and Shaun of the Dead in high regard. Found the other two in the cornetto trilogy to be mediocre. From the trailer, this looks like this falls into the latter.

Hot fuzz mediocre? OK dude....

Starts Friday on Prime. Wonder if they will drop the whole series or spoon feed them?

Just watched the first one, quite enjoyed it. Frost is great and Pegg isn't in it much.

Enjoyed the first two episodes, quite short, so binge watch friendly, but pretty good so far.

Noticed some really weird blurring on the edges of the screen in some shots though. I don't think it's my TV, or the bitrate, but it was really apparent on the taps in the hotel bar. Almost smudged rather than blurred.

Thinks it's done on purpose. Noticed it on all episodes

Finished this off last night and really enjoyed it.

Bit misleading really, Pegg is barely in it and there isn't much 'comedy' in this comedy horror

ElliorR · 1 Nov 2020 at 19:11

I enjoyed that.

Not terrific, imo.

Not much of a comedy (as said above) and it felt like I was watching a children's TV series at times.

Exactly my thought...in fact, I think it's mildly better than SOTD...both superb movies regardless.

I enjoyed it. "Hello" had me creased

i liked it - not many laugh out loud bits but a few.

EddScott · 3 Nov 2020 at 11:15

Stumbled across this last night. We watched 2 episodes and really liked it. Will definately keep watching.

I’ve found all of the Pegg/Frost films to enjoyable but overrated.

The mere reference to them as the ‘Cornetto’ trilogy has always felt... pretentious and a bit awkward, like a joke that wasn’t worth making.

This was a welcome surprise on the front page of my Prime feed today. Nice!

Gray2233 · 3 Nov 2020 at 13:51

I quite enjoyed it.

I get the impression Pegg will have a bigger role if there's a season 2.

Yeah getting a ashes to ashes vibe for season 2, Gene Hunt and that other guy from hell
