HaarDon Posted August 18, 2021 Report Posted August 18, 2021 Does Mare of Easttown get better? I watched first 10 minutes and it seemed really dreary. Mind you I did the same thing with Fight Club. Quote

wokinginashearerwonderland Posted September 7, 2021 Report Posted September 7, 2021 Good interview with Roy Keane. Quote
HaarDon Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Speaking of shite managers and needing a win badly: Has anyone watched Ted Lasso. I think it's brilliant! Highly recommend it. Quote
manc_don Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Finished watching Vigil last week. Really good although a few suspect moments. Started watching Cobra, which I believe is a Sky production from last year? Seems ok, although I didn't understand why Sky news would still be broadcasting when no-one has electricity (apart from govt agencies etc). Quote
HaarDon Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Vigil is good. Still to finish it. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted November 10, 2021 Report Posted November 10, 2021 The Hermit Of Treig 74yo Mike Smith has lived off the land for the last 40 years! No electricity, Gas etc.... It's available to watch on iPlayer just now and I highly recommend it. Personally find him admirable, but at this stage, I'd feel a lot better if he moved back into civilization and was closer to Emergency Services, he's a 2 hour walk from the nearest Road! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011hp3 Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Midnight Mass For the love of fuck, do not believe the hype with this, I'm 5 episodes in and it's up there with some of the biggest pish I've ever seen. Quote
RicoS321 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Posted December 30, 2021 Don't look up on Netflix. Very good like. Quote

The obvious narcissism of humans is slightly amusing but other than that, I'd call it a flop. Some decent stuff on Netflix but by fuck you have to look hard to find them. Quote

I agree about Netflix, there's a lot of wading to be done. Very good was probably overstating, good would be better. The term "flop" is a strange one to use, I don't think the film is aimed at box office success. It's not really about narcissism as such, it's about ignorance and hubris. The president isn't narcissistic, just thick as shit and is so embedded in the game of politics for the advancement of politics, she doesn't do anything (she's a cross between Clinton and Trump). Mark Rylance is very good as the Musk/Zuckerberg/Jobs/Bezos character, who is narcissistic. The film doesn't deliberately punch down, but as a film about climate change, it won't reach people it portrays as those who "don't look up". In that sense, it's likely a failure. Quote
Elgindon Posted December 30, 2021 Report Posted December 30, 2021 Watched it coincidentally at a pals last night. Enjoyable nonsense IMO Quote

Dark humour but also tragically on point with the political characters it portrays. despite it being a film, its just further confirmation that the US is completely broken and fucked. we’ve just started watching stay close. Reasonable cast and plenty of plot twists. Was a bit out off by the James Bond themed intro , was actually surprised it was a Netflix show and not sky. They do those cheesy intros. But enjoying it nonetheless. Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 25, 2022 Report Posted February 25, 2022 'Dark side of the Ring' which is currently available on All-4 Seriously fucked up world professional wrestlers can go into Recall Owen Hearts dying after an accident before the start of one of their big events but never knew the WWE didnt cancel the show and insisted the other wrestlers and commentators carry on mere minutes after watching their colleagues lifeless body being carried off on a stretcher, in a ring which was broken and had genuione blood stains.

wokinginashearerwonderland Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 Watched #CancelKarenDunbar last night. Oh my god, almost impossible to make comedy now without offending someone it seems. Some folk really need to lighten up and see comedy for what it is. Quote
manc_don Posted April 11, 2022 Report Posted April 11, 2022 Been watching the following of late: - Louis Theroux - Forbidden America - Doesn't do much to make me think there is much intelligent life (US based dandies aside of course) in the US. Good TV regardless - Umbrella Academy - Enjoyable - Super Pumped - much like any megalomaniac in the end. I wanted to like him, but was a complete tosser. Quote
SeeBass Posted June 8, 2022 Report Posted June 8, 2022 When I lost my Mam nine years ago we needed some dumbed down TV to distract me from the fact I lost her to primary Lung secondary Brain cancer in just 55 days aged 55. I found Made In Chelsea! Can't believe I'm still watching it religiously nearly a decade later. I'm too intelligent for the programme but it does give us some much needed respite. 1 Quote
Kowalski Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Posted June 21, 2022 Sherwood on BBC 1 has been outstanding. Very tense and gripping, with superb performances all round. Quote
tom_widdows Posted June 26, 2022 Report Posted June 26, 2022 Getting to the party late with 'The Newsroom' And also 'Lucifer' Quote
Kowalski Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Posted September 12, 2022 The Capture on BBC1. Complete escapism but just brilliant with a superb finale. Quote
BigAl Posted October 6, 2022 Report Posted October 6, 2022 Just binged The Walk In on STV Player. First episode was shown on Monday of this week. Cracking programme based upon true events and live footage of actual events including the Jo Cox murder, Westminster Bridge terrorist attack and the plot to murder MP Rosie Cooper Stephen Graham plays the lead really well as a former National Front and Combat 18 member who has turned his life around. Couple of faults I could find with it if I was being picky but won't disclose until others have viewed it as I'll potentially spoil it. 1 Quote

Finished the second series last month, agreed, excellent viewing. Hopefully Al's suggestion makes it down here. TVNZ have been pretty good with their offerings. Unlike Netflix, who only just released the third series of Derry Girls recently. Quote

Have never watched this so had a look on I-Player and see there was a first series from back in 2019. Think that'll be my next watch Quote
Kowalski Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Posted March 25, 2023 Finished watching The Gold on BBC about the Brinks Mat robbery. Excellent TV and cast. Quote
