PortyJambo Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Mayans MC, the spinoff from Sons of Anarchy, started last night on BBC2. Haven't watched the first episodes yet, but hopefully it's of a similar standard to SoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Baptiste A spin off of the interesting BBC show The Missing is due to start in a few weeks on BBC It has an intriguing trailer and is co starring Tom Hollander, who's always very good. So that could be worth watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just watched the Manhunt three part drama with Martin Clunes, really enjoyable. Love these type of programmes, as you get to see how they slowly close the net on these monsters and how they eventually caught him in this one.

I'm clearly in the minority as they seem to be the flavour of the month, darlings of the chattering classes, bewilders me. I'll listen out for Baptiste though, Hollander played an almost believable character in Birdbox so prepared to admit if I'm wrong As for Queen Olivia.. the new Judi Dench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Rev grows on you, and it's not really a comedy (not many laughs it is more about character situations) Clever episodes, they have one with Liam Neeson that's terrific. But maybe I'm in the minority there, would be good to hear other posters opinions of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parents of the child were completely negligent in their " care" of her but the guy was a very sophisticated groomer and completely duped them. A harrowing tale. Thank god children and parents now know more about the insidious nature of grooming and the lengths those guys ( mostly male) go to to satisfy their twisted sexual needs. Got more and mental as it went on. I found the last few minutes odd as they were out selling the story. Them milking it seemed strange. Just after a relatively casual chat between the dad and his 13 daughter who had left home and wanted to marry the man who'd he'd had a sexual relationship with and had bonked his wife. So very odd. I'm not gonna bother thinking about it anymore, it's too messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously wanted to make money from the story, why the dad would want to sit and tell that whole sorry story on film doesn't sit right with me.

Didnt realise it was a spin off (thought the SoA cameo in ep1 was just a wee easter egg/fan service) I thought SoA was an pile of dung. Desperate housewives on motorbikes. Only watched episode 1 of Mayans but seems ok. Main guy seems better than his SoA counterpart. As for biker shows watch Gangland Undercover (loosely based on a true story) its excellent.

Not at all what I thought it was going to be, looks from the advertising likes it's going to be a teen adventure type thing. Where it's more like The Walking Dead with a group of people trying to survive after a catastrophic event that has made most of the population vampires. Not your Dracula types but more like feral beasts. Not brilliant but very watchable. The 3rd series of this has just arrived on Netflix.

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Finished " Dirty John" on Netflix. . It was terrific. A good and realistic ( true story) of how an abusive relationship can evolve into total carnage. Great acting from the leads Connie Britton and Eric Bana. There is also the documentary on Netflix about the real story with Deborah Newell ( the victim) interviewed and other victims of Meehan. Remarkably the tv series is very true to the real story and doesn't appear to have had things added for " dramatic licence" which makes a change. Both well worth watching.
