s01e03 — Machines

A very intense series.
And it is very interesting that at the time of the power outage, the screens showed a green world outside. It was as if the computer responsible for the video processing of the real picture had turned off

The series only gets better and better with each episode. I wonder what will happen next)

it looks like an embedded capsule can also kill a person (my guess)
or poisoned

I almost turned gray from the strain during the reactor repair scene, it was just something

Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't she have been scalded by steam when she directed a jet of water at the red-hot metal, standing so close to it?🤔 If not specific burns, then at least the spots should have remained. Although it seems to me that even just going down into such a limited space with hot metal, she would not be able to stay and breathe there, the temperature there should probably have been off the scale just.

It's funny that Jules in the original calls the engine as "she"

I'm watching Success at the same time, and only now it dawned on me that Martha, an elderly female mechanic, to whom Jules came all the time, is the same actress as the mother of three Swarms))) The characters are so diametrically opposed, and the makeup, of course, makes it difficult to identify. If only Roy and Martha were mothers...

The series is, of course, very stressful, but my, she had to cook inside, well, it's unrealistic. As a result, the residents sat without lights with lanterns for an hour, and there was talk, as if the apocalypse had come

Ehh, better hugs!

Very similar to the TV series "through the snow"

The plot is extremely dense, the universe is well displayed, the actors, the game is 5+. I haven't read the book. The series draws in itself. I want to watch everything at once, the cinema has its own mood, and most importantly, to keep the bar taken.

So who poisoned the mayor? Is there water in a thermos? When was it changed/spiked? The lawyers?

Just one question so far: why don't all the cleaners agree with their friends in the bunker about the sign?
That is, you go out like this and agree with Petya from the next floor that if you showed a fig with your fingers, then the picture in the lenses is red, and in fact it's cool on the street?
But no, we go out and just wipe. Although, there is always a chance that the output will be redacted, that is, there is no chance to make a sign, but just the same picture. This is very likely judging by the fact that they start to stumble and fall +/- in the same place.
It's difficult, there are questions, but it's interesting

Wow!

Uhh and suspense. It's strange that they don't have any backup batteries. Well, they keep the intrigue well. I hope everything will not result in an exodus from the opera "everything was a dog's dream"

The blades of the generator are clearly spinning by magic, not steam pressure. Where did they send it if the generator is running without a casing?

How would I now forget this whole scene of concentrated delirium, about repairing the generator...

Fixing the generator in the context of reality looks somewhat fantastic. There are no spare blades, no backup steam removal system, and backup generators are generally not clear why they are needed with such low power. As usual, the scriptwriters decided that the drama of the moment was behind the eyes of most viewers and did not care about logic. This is now in the order of things, alas..
And so it is clearly visible that the series and the book differ greatly even in small things. Filmed, one might say, based on motives. Some characters have been added, others have been removed, some characters have completely changed their character and motivation. I don't know how good it will be in the future, but so far it's average

That's why when I try to fix something that I don't understand how it works, I always have a bunch of extra parts and a broken device instead of a happy ending?

I like the general atmosphere, the riddles, and of course Rebecca Ferguson.
But there are too many questions about the absurdity of the script.
Why didn't Jules tell the mayor right away that the generator was on the verge of failure
Why is a vital generator serviced by only one good specialist who can get sick, die, etc.
Why only one generator when there should be several, as the equipment inevitably breaks down
Why is an inexperienced intern helping Jules fix the generator on which the life of the entire community depends
Why didn't Jules tell them to cool the valve in advance to give them more time to fix it, and why did she go to cool it herself? Anyone could have done it there
Well, in general, all the nonsense about fixing and installing the generator is some kind of fantasy, we have already written about this above

Did I understand correctly that they don't know where their steam is coming from for the generator?

I thought the kid who helped gg was going to die, but it turned out to be a very tense moment.🫣

The generator repair scene is just incredibly delusional. And now I would like to pour water on the red-hot valve.🤦♀️
How Jules didn't cook there, I don't understand.

It's depressing... I hope this is the worst episode.

Who knows where to download the third book in English?

Ooooh! I didn't breathe for half an episode. Of course, you have to turn a blind eye to the fact that she would have been burned by steam when she poured cold water on hot metal, and I wonder on what principle their alarm clock and computers are not relics, but the same other things (wristwatches, camera, etc.) are relics. It's fantastic. The series is in one go, and now how can we wait for the next one! It was expected with the mayor (

The main thing in the series is not to watch the generator repair scenes if you have at least a little knowledge of engineering, otherwise you can break through the time continuum on the jet thrust of a burning fart and go back to the past, at the time of the creation of this generator, and tell the GIP that you can build in a different way so that it works normally, and not this That's it.

The accents, imho, are not on that they put. It is clear that entertainment and suspense are needed, but the interior kitchen there is now more important than a half-episode renovation. Nothing about the role of IT, and nothing about the role of Bernard either. Everything about the arrangement with thermoses in the book is immediately clear, it's as if they didn't show at all how and when it could have been done. Jules' "theft" is generally a key element of the plot, but perhaps it will be served later. Jules bargained for them to reduce energy consumption for repairs with good reason, and she was persuaded to take on a new job, too, not from the ceiling or from the word scrawled on the badge, she really thought she could be useful. Judging by the speed of the plot, we should expect a lot of intense scenes with a wow effect, but whether it will be a complete picture is a question.

It's tense. It's impossible to break away

Well, just a Snowpirser Snowpircerovich

It's such a tense episode. The best episode so far. I hope it will be the same in the future.

It's an interesting plot, but still, if this series continues to look like the dreary "Through the Snow" where everything boils down to internal squabbles and power struggles, rather than solving the mystery of what's behind the Bunker, what kind of world, and so on, then it will be sad.

- And where does the steam for the generator come from?
"No one knows. And who the fixies are is a big, big secret.

Actually, it's funny how they used the cliche of the generator from Through the Snow that broke down a hundred years later.
I didn't even write it down in BINGO for the first episode, but it looks like it's time.)

Knox just stood there looking gloomy and worried, all the help was in the repair))
Ferguson pretty horse, nice to watch 😍

I think this is the series of the year)). I hope the new episodes will be just as interesting.

The plot unfolds at a very fast pace. The series was interesting and exciting. I'm sorry about the mayor, I liked her.

I'm unfamiliar with the original, but I was sure that everything would be fine with all the characters, but they shot it so coolly and emotionally vividly that the tension was off the charts in places!
And the picture on the screen raised questions, and I also think that they kill with gas in a protective suit, as a warning to others to be afraid.
I feel sorry for the mayor. The third episode introduces the character and kills him, an interesting plot presentation)

It's very stressful😟

I don't know if they'll have time to squeeze the first book into 10 episodes of season 1...((( So far, they are stomping at the very beginning, stretching the wake scene for the entire series, if it was very short in the book...

A series of "Bunkers" without someone's death is like a wedding without an accordion.

Unexpectedly, a high-quality series turned out to be. I'll keep looking.

It's a good series. It's not even so scary to cancel "Through the Snow" anymore)

The series is cool. I am very glad for such a breath of fresh air.
I hope the ending will be appropriate.

And for those who found it strange that people didn't react, they reacted that way and showed us those few people. But they're obviously afraid. For some reason, they are not afraid of the police, but they are afraid of the judge. Hardly a good character. The rest of the people were spinning, spinning, looking at the floor.
So the main thing in the series was not the strenuous repair of the turbine, but just these 3-4 frames, where nature is alive and dead.

It remains to understand what IT people are doing in their small closed world. Are they unknowingly maintaining an illusion?

I am very sorry for the lady Mayor T___T

So, an interesting case has emerged here. There will be no spoilers, just a little observation about the course of the series. Some people know about it, but most probably don't. In these 3 episodes, 1/3 of the book (the first of the series) was shown. It would seem that with this approach, they should have finished it all by episode 10, according to the number of episodes announced. However, this does not seem to be the case. I got to know the original before the middle of the first book. Well, that is, I ran not far ahead, in fact, from the 1/3 that has already been shown. And now I've looked at the titles of the episodes that will be next and roughly compared them with the contents of the book and imagined what it should be about, and you know, the first book won't be finished in these 10 episodes, it seems. The title and approximate content of all subsequent 7 episodes (seven episodes!) they will only take us to the middle of the first book. Right up to where I am now and have temporarily finished the original source. One more time. In the first 3 episodes, they showed a third, in the next 7 they will reach the middle. The second season will PROBABLY be EXACTLY where the book will be finished. And I wanted to come in after reading it and make you happy that in the following (as I thought) 2 episodes will have a lot of answers and interesting plot advancement, and considering that the film adaptation is still going well, the picture will be amazing on the screen. But for some reason they decided to stretch them for 7 episodes. I don't understand why.

It turned out to be an amazing episode, I yelled when the camera turned off and for a split second everyone saw the real view from the outside, I wonder how people will react to this, I hope they paid attention to it at all, and an elevator would not have prevented them from walking there, but somehow walking a hundred floors is like that.
I will hope that everything will be fine with the mayor and she will not die, a good woman, I suspect that someone could have poisoned her, I'm not sure how exactly, but there are different ways 🤔

It's an amazing job as a director to give out such tension! Despite the fact that, well, we all understood that everything would be fine with the generator.
And the scriptwriters do such a terrible job. Well, everything was sorted out before me, why this whole generator breakdown is fiction in a bad way.

In fact, it's a shame for such a skew.

We are betting on who will die in the next episode :D

I wonder if people won't be embarrassed that some nouname from the workshop has become the sheriff, who doesn't even know how to do this job? I didn't quite understand about the structure of their police department. In theory, the sheriff should have had different police guys under his command, and they should definitely be perplexed by this situation. In the same place, you should not only wear a badge and walk around the bunker with a smart look, I think, but also perform some basic duties and keep some kind of records. I hope the sheriff left her instructions on that. Otherwise, it will be as strange as possible and in fact someone will have to teach her how to do her job from 0, but 100% she will forget about it and run around the bunker "in search of the truth.".

That was the suspense with the generator, I just sat in a freeze for 20 minutes, WOW
And the ending is even more gushing - I thought the mayor would be ousted after her "willfulness," but for her to be removed RIGHT AWAY is complete trash, and considering that she didn't eat anything from the judge and her henchmen, it means they have poison capsules in their bodies or they let poison gas into her bathroom... who is this fucking judge, they would have already shown
The series cannon, the heat is off, my nerves are on edge, I hope this will be the best series of 2023.

🔥♥️

A couple of poor devils are fixing a scam on which the rest of humanity depends -it's hard to believe.

And what was the sacred meaning of jumping into the closet to the valve to pour water from the bottom up on the valve, if this valve was visible right from the door? I opened the door, put some kind of water on it - here's a hose for you, stop, water it - and the problem is solved, and you don't have to suffer-you don't have to drown yourself.
No, I understand that theoretically they are trying to show us that this is how she overcame her fear of water and learned to swim, but damn. Everything looks so fast and unreliable that it's already tin.

When watching it, there was a strong feeling that someone would die in the end. But I thought it would be Jules's assistant, not the mayor.

While everyone is interested in the scene with the generator, I have another question, the former sheriff regularly met with the mechanic (he is from the upper , she is from the lower ), and her father does not see her , since he is from the middle and it's kind of kapets how far 🙈Question then how did the sheriff and the mechanic see each other 🤪

@Oksers: I think they just didn't pay much attention to it in this episode, maybe the sheriff went down to her all day, but they didn't show it to us.

It's a very intense episode.

How basic is it, my God
All series in the post-apocalyptic have become the same
A hundred, Through the Snow - they've already used the same story arcs.
Why does the Bunker have such a high rating???

I'm sorry for the mayor

I love this serial engineering...)

We are building a giant bunker for people to live in for many years, where electricity will be the key resource, as it provides light, life support, and everything else.

But we will have only one generator, and we don't need any backup or backup systems. Well, for a laugh, we'll add a kind of backup, which will not be enough for anything anyway... And the only main generator on which the life of the entire budnker depends will also be made practically unusable, without any clear maintenance scheme and replacement of even the simplest parts, such as blades. Well, we won't leave any spare parts, if anything, let them straighten it with hammers.

I read the comments. I would never have thought that there were so many engineers at the lighthouse. To be honest, I liked you more as virologists.

The repair of the generator was very stressful. 🔥

It's completely unclear why, without a sheriff, everyone should immediately go wild and start committing crimes. There are deputy sheriffs, there are police officers, there is some kind of security service, there is a mayor and a judge, after all, people have at least some common sense - why should they immediately fly off the rails? And it's also unclear why they would suddenly start obeying a lady unknown to them—does authority come with the position?

Awesome episode.

I thought Cooper wouldn't make it in time after all, and the generator would spin him up while he was inserting the blade! It tickled my nerves!

Rebecca is a smoker's Nut))

Wow, the tension has caught up. It's been a long time since I've been so worried about what's happening on the screen. Very cool.

The best of the three episodes so far. We were able to convey enough of the tension with this engine, but so far the series has been running from cliche to cliche- it's not bad, but I would like something "new". Even with this engine, it was already clear that it would be repaired, but this was not the main idea of the series, but simply to convey the atmosphere of hopelessness in this world,xs

Mm, debug and fix on the prod, when you still don't know what you're going to have to fix. Just the way we like it.

I also wonder how everyone knows each other, how Jules met the old lady who hasn't left the room for 20 years, how he knows the mayor... I hope her story will be revealed.

Maybe Jules will also be accused of trying to kill the mayor in some way.

I thought that the next person to be removed would be the mayor, since she went against the recommendations from above.

At the beginning of the series, I decided that the mayor would be charmingly killed after such brazen behavior. At the end of the episode, I already decided that I was mistaken, but still she did not survive the episode. I wonder when she was poisoned.

How I scream from this cringe, during the repair of the generator, the most pumped-up "alpha" just stands and looks at the thermometer, while screeching and convulsively grabbing the railing 🤡🤡🤡😀😂😂

Upper, I'm looking for my lower one

A sudden filler! But it was interesting to look at the bottom and the inner world.

The first episodes didn't go very far, but I decided to give the series a chance anyway. Now I understand that I was not mistaken, I can not tear myself away. The end of the series is tough, of course, and in general the whole series is on my nerves☠️☠️ Do you like this

Imho, they spent a lot of time fixing the generator-they wanted to show a team of techies who would clearly shoot in the next season, even the squishy one would have a finest hour.
Pysy. I'll read books.

Am I the only one who didn't understand what kind of duck?

During the repair of the generator, this "muscular toxicity" did absolutely nothing, while the fragile Rebecca plowed for the whole team.

Of course, I understand the "progressive" agenda and all that, but when it's so absurd, it turns out too shabby. In reality, everything would be exactly the opposite, but the screenwriters don't seem to care about realism, they are more concerned that their Twitter creatures are not eaten for "sexism".

I love the comments of physicists and engineers on any films and TV series where there is something like that)) I wonder if there are movies and TV series that would satisfy them.

I'm sorry for the mayor. So far, it turns out 1 episode - 1 death

Yeah... in vain, the creators of the series saved on a technical consultant (although a "doctor of science" is not needed here, it was enough for a person familiar with a school physics course), I almost broke my nose with facepalms in moments related to the turbine, and especially with its "repair".))

I liked the series, such tension, even nervous)))

I wanted to write about the generator repair scene, but everyone has already said so)) I don't even know what to call it. It's just a laugh.

The scene with the generator repair turned out to be very heated.. Yes, it is actually very interesting that when the generator was turned on and off, the picture overboard flashed really like the credits.. It smells of universal deception.

It's boring, tedious, about the technical part, so out of the ordinary, it's unclear who they take people for.

There were no burns from steam, apparently because of the utopia genre

- We practically don't know where the steam is coming from.

Seriously ? :)

Well, but Jules acquired the skill and learned to swim)
Commenting on the generator, do not forget, we are watching the series. If there was logic, then the series would not exist

It's a little boring

It is very logical to let the most qualified mechanic go just to cool the radiator with a hose or whatever it was. There are no more people, and this is a very difficult task. And in general, the moment of repair is too long. That much.

An interesting intense series. But there is a nuance, it seems to be happening slowly, I want to be a little shorter

The script was written, it was approved, and then it was filmed.. It didn't bother anyone, it seems..
Zadornov was probably right..

The film adaptation of frostpunk :)

😂😂😂 Americans are really dumb

How much do you have to be morons to shoot such a shit, this fool would come to my brigade, I would explain to her what steam is and show her how and what

The series is intense, but very interesting))
What is the green picture on the screen? The reality? Another incredible picture or what?))
The mechanics at the bottom are just beautiful, every last one of them, fans of their craft, saved the whole bunker)
Is Jules the sheriff? Well, let's see how her career will develop.
The mayor... that was pathetic, but a little predictable, for a reason they showed so many times how they drink water, where and who sees it)
The series is gaining momentum with each episode))

with the mayor, everything became clear even when she started talking about the house next to some artist, they said goodbye)

I love this actor who plays Julia's father. The series gathers more and more familiar faces.

Some kind of nonsense. Could no one come up to this kid and help him? Why exactly did she need to cool the radiator? It's a kick-ass, what kind of qualifications do you need to use a hose to water. And in general, such an incredible and important machine is serviced by at most 10 people, and Jules is the only one who understands it and is an intern. And if she tripped somewhere and split her head, what would you do? Yes, there should be a dozen or more like her, they should constantly train someone. How have they not become extinct in 140 years?

Even on ancient steam locomotives, a valve was made to safely release pressure. However, if the turbine blades rule with sledgehammers...

This is an incredibly dumb episode. It would be better not to come up with anything to repair the generator at all. Absolutely everything, from beginning to end, is a complete, fierce game 🤦♂️

If you watch the generator repair scenes on x2, then everything is tolerable.

It was stressful! In the end, the mayor was also removed. Jewel's going to have a hard time without her. If they also appoint someone like a dark-skinned bully with strawberries as mayor, then it's terrible.
