Muppetboy Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The patient, 8/10 steve carrell is excellent as a therapist chained in a basement by a serial killer who needs his therapy to try to change his ways.

Cade Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Missions French sci-fi about manned missions to Mars, which go sideways when a Soviet Cosmonaut who died 50 years ago in an early Soyuz flight shows up alive and well..... Goes off on some bonkers tangents but it's solidly acted and each episode is only about 20 minutes long. 3 seasons so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Israeli tourists Watched this last week. Absolute cheek of them, why would they even go on camera and admit what they did then try to justify it. Sherpa on Netflix is also very good , shows these rich tour operators to be absolute bellends as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was okay to start but just became preposterous with Tennant's character becoming more ridiculous every minute. Could have got it if it was his son's stuff on drive but it wasn't and rest was pointless. Liked the big cell mate character of Stan but the main woman character was overacted and pathetic. Ended up willing her to be killed as she was so thick it defied belief. Good idea but shit writing and acting spoilt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if you took criticism personally but I was only commenting on TV programme. We are allowed to disagree. Take the disc to police, fingerprint it and the peado's fingerprints would have been all over it. Police also question all involved and it would have been easy to prove whose it was. Poor and lazy writing (imo). Watch The Sinner or Ozark if you want brilliantly constructed TV (imo). Or don't, it's a free country.

Hopefully it gets a second series. I read a few people on IMdB and the likes complaining about the modern rock music soundtrack and the amount of swearing, but neither annoy me at all. If anything, I thought they were a positive to the show. Hard to imagine hard-bitten salt of the earth military types wouldn't have quite an extensive swearing vocabulary! Reading up on the known historical record of the formation of the SAS, it does seem like it's more or less kept to the background history, although obviously embellished for dramatic purposes of course.
