Thanks for the heads-up! I snooped around, and I am guessing you mean the German blu-rays. I checked quickly to see if there are any new 1080p rips online yet. Not that I found from the few places I looked, but there are older ones, including 1080p. (If anyone finds updated ones, please post links for what you find.)

Yes, I was referring to the recent German BluRay releases (1080p). See all releases: https://www.xrel.to/tv/12910/The-Tribe- ... eases.html

So this is the series I've been watching lately. Yeah, I've actually been watching something! See, I can do it! Since this thread was posted, there have been a few people asking how the show is, and if it is worth checking out. So I gathered some hastily written notes, in case someone is still curious and comes across this thread. I am nearly done with the first season.

Considering there are 50+eps per season, I am surprised by how much content is packed in to each one. Seriously, a lot happens in each episode, and there's always a few things going on. Some of the main characters will be slightly too old for some of the members here, and they're usually mostly fully clothed, even in the face of the edgier topics they get into. There are a few younger characters, though, that are in every episode.

Little to no spoilers:
The show is initially about a group of kids who band together after an adult-wiping cataclysmic event, and they try to make a basic livable situation for themselves that never comes without plenty of issues. Early on, they discover a good place to make a little home.

The show is both highly entertaining (to me) and mildly infuriating at the least. On the up side, the show is continuously keeping the drama and character events going on, and there no dull moments. The characters are always doing something incredulous. By ep 7, I was amazed by how much had happened and how many characters had been introduced.

As for the infuriating parts, these are likely moments that the show creators want to illicit this reaction from the watcher. A few characters consistently seem to take turns being as counterproductive or useless as possible! You will recognize plenty of plot devices, but there is the occasional action so crazy you would not have guessed it would happen! First off, course not all of the characters can get along. How would it be interesting if they all did? They often bicker and fight among themselves, in the middle of this world of other tribal gangs who would eat them alive.

One of the most annoying things is when a character randomly decides to disappear without telling their fellow tribe mates, usually to explore the dangerous outside world for supplies or to get away with something without everyone noticing. It happen nearly every episode, even the characters themselves say, "not again!" when they find out. I began to think it was an excuse primarily used by the show writers when one of the cast members, primarily kids and teens, were unavailable. But it keeps you yelling at the screen and hitting the play button! I am such a sucker.

One cool thing about the show is the willingness the show creators are to include issues you wouldn't normally see in a TV show directed towards a juvenile audience. And this includes violence, kidnapping, selling slaves, sex, pregnancy, and even rape and human sex trafficking (very very light on that last one).

All in all, it's a pretty fun show and I plan on sticking around for at least the first two seasons. It scratches that "no adults around" itch, where the kids are free to run rampant and mess things up as they please.

You'll notice midway through that they seemed to run out of actual children to play extras and minor speaking parts. Some random one-off characters and extras are so obviously adults that they didn't even bother to hide it.

The New Zealand accents are such a delight for the ears! Seems most actors are from New Zealand, but I wouldn't be surprised if some were Australian.

The encodes I am currently watching are from here:

They are 1080p at a decent size, although I had to settle with x265 to get this. My first download came from Night's link for the rarbg 720p files. Otherwise, the 1080p files on rarbg are 82gb to 95gb per season!! I have a good amount of hard drive space, but that is too much. The show is otherwise very easy to stream at the links Night listed.

This reminds me of a trope that drove me insane in the show "Lost" x castaway wanders off into the woods, sees something unexplainable and supernatural, but never mentions it to their fellow castaways in order to manufacture mystery and intrigue. And considering it was Lost, there was no guarantee that the mystery would ever be resolved.

I love writing, mostly as a hobby/creative release. I've been working on a story lately that would fall under fantasy/post-apocalyptic (it takes place in our world, but 900 years in the future and 400 years after civilization collapsed.) it sounds somewhat similar to this show, actually. Although, no sex or anything too crazy like that. I understand why parents want to carefully choose what their kids are exposed to, but I do think there is something to be said for treating kids, at least intellectually speaking, like adults, insofar as what they are able to process in fiction.

Some of my favorite stories growing up were playing through the Final Fantasy series which featured some fairly adult stories with murder, betrayal, war, sacrifice, etc.

It really feels like throughout the years we have continuously dumbed things down and made things more and more "safe" and I don't necessarily know if that is always the right direction to go. Hearing about kids who reach adulthood but can't even make basic telephone calls(dr appointments, bills, etc) for themselves makes me think we are making people too soft. Although, I will concede that tying that to fiction is more of just one symptom of a possibly much bigger problem with coddling and a society more and more focused on isolation and everything on-demand.

Anyway, sorry for the random tangent, I appreciate the breakdown. It def sounds interesting, but the 50 ep seasons make it sound a little intimidating, not gonna lie.

No worries, marvingray, your tangent definitely touches upon some trends.

But it's just one reason why I am as impressed this show, as it's willing include these issues and have its characters deal with them. Just a note, it is somewhat tame overall with the sensitive topics. It's still pretty cool, and the show sometimes tried to go a little "Mad Max" (without the vehicles), and there's a tribal meet-up midway through the first season that reminded me of the Bartertown segments. The whole situation went similarly crazy and exciting (minus the thunderdome battle to the death).

So, a future post-apocaclyptic/fantasy setting with a premise similar to this show, sounds pretty interesting. Do you ever post your work somewhere?

Spoiler: I grew up playing some of the FF titles as well, and I guess I shouldn't be too surprised considering your emule name. I actually started out with FF 3/6, long time ago. Played quite a few others since then. Still have my cartridges and discs, too.

[marvingray]

Hmm you are tempting me to watch it when throwing out descriptions like Mad Max lol I do think there is a fine line to walk when making entertainment for kids. Like, the Matilda musical, it's technically about a girl that is neglected and abused by her parents, but the movie shows it in a silly, comical way for the most part and holds back its few darker scenes for particularly dramatic moments. I think some of the best fiction writing can come when there are limitations the writers have to work around and you can kind of tell when the writers care to go above and beyond compared to something that just lazily churns out content like an assembly line.

As far as the writing, I don't want to derail the thread, just thought it was interesting cause it sounded similar to what I'd been working on, and no I don't really have plans for it nor do I even know where people post stuff like that, but if you know any good places feel free to DM me!

I think you hit it spot on. I forgot how its saying is laid out, but constraints may amplify this thing known as artistic formula. Which is why I think possibly it is a good proposal for us all to start writing our posts in lipograms. Whaddya say, try it out?

The comparison to Mad Max may be a bit of a stretch, but some moments did seem inspired by, possibly. For anyone who checks it out, I hope the continuous drama doesn't bother you too much. There were many times where I thought, "Trudy! Dammit, how long are you going to be completely worthless? How many times do you have to berate Bray? I get it already!" And when Amber tried to set up the "rota", a list of duties for everyone, oh how many times will the characters shit on it? WHY does it take so long for them all to realize they've established the beginnings of something good?

But like I said, one only gets to that point if one becomes interested in the show. Lots of tropes, but also sometimes the show catches you off guard! Why is Bray secretly meeting up with the leader of the Locos? How will Amber figure out how to keep Lex in line? Will the kids ever figure out that bad dudes on rollerblades really aren't that intimidating? Just push them over! I am nearing the end of season 1, at episode 50 now. Crazy, doesn't even feel like I've spent much time watching.

You do pretty well staying on topic, don't let me teach you any bad habits! For unrelated conversation, I'll try to DM.

[Night457]

Huh? I do not grasp what train of thought is running through his mind. How can I account for this odd wording?

OH! Now I know! What a curious notion. It is awfully hard to avoid using our most common writing units, most particularly that which follows "D" and is prior to "F". I think this plan for writing composition is just too crazy and difficult! I will allow you to adopt that way of writing if YOU want. I just can not do it for long!
