Baby Reindeer, enjoyed, some uncomfortable moments though😯 I hope I never bump into that woman at night though, scared the shoite out of me😬

 

Watching 3 Body Problem at the moment (on episode 6) quite enjoying it.

 

Can’t wait to get stuck in to Blue Lights, loved the first season.

That Baby Reindeer was the best thing I've watched in ages. 

 

Very, very uncomfortable watching in parts.

Watched 5 episodes last night, way past my bedtime!

 

Just finished it and only one thing irks me a bit but doesnt really take away from the great show. 

Spoiler

Is it realistic for a small team to have everyone fancying or shagging others in the team? I have worked in a small team for 30 years and havent witnessed it......

Watched My wife My abuser on ch5. Good watch. I went through a similar experience with my narcissist (soon to be ex wife). She didn’t crap on my head though.

Watched Baby Reindeer in 1 go last night. Very good and nice not to see it overly dragged out/30-40min episodes. 

The actors playing the Stalker and the Transexual partner were very good in their roles.

I agree. I expect the stalker to have a great career

Thought Fallout was great, never played the games but really enjoyed it.

Not sure if just me but Walton Goggins/Cooper Howard reminds me of Shankland.

Blood coast

Ganglands

The golden hour 

 

(All on Netflix) are all pretty good, some pretty full on graphic and harrowing scenes in The golden hour, (just as a trigger warning)

I've been watching This Town on BBC (should be available on iPlayer).

 

Set in Coventry and Birmingham in the early 80s, the basic story is about a bunch of working-class young people trying to get a band going.  But things are complicated by the fact that they're connected (willingly or unwillingly) to gangland criminals, the Provisional IRA and the British security services.

 

There's a wee bit too much scene-setting in the first two episodes, but it's a good story with some great acting and a fantastic soundtrack.

Just watched the first 3 episodes of Baby Reindeer.. Oh my, this is great TV. My toes were so curled up at some moments. The actress who plays the stalker is just brilliant. 

 

10% you should watch this. Nice short episodes.. it doesn't drag. Really evokes an emotional response.

The Regime
On Sky Atlantic
Big disappointment. Promised to be a satirical take on a fictional totalitarian regime in central Europe. Offered little humour, little insight, the acting was hammy but production values were great. All style little substance.

Watched 3 last night and the rest today. That was a tough watch, especially ep4, but a quite brilliant series. Jessica Gunning is scarily good as the stalker.

Shogun wraps things up with an emotional, considered finale.

 

By far the best thing on TV in 2024 so far, and it's highly doubtful that anything better will be on for the rest of the year either.

Should win armfuls of awards.

She definitely was. If I saw her in the street, I’d be off and running.

Yup, definitely one of the harder watches, but a great little show overall.

Finished Baby Reindeer tonight - Defo getting some awards.  Brilliant bit of TV. 

 

There were hard truths in every episode and everyone should watch this.  Really good, well written series.

Episode 4 is the turning point. It stays dark for the remaining episodes.

Finished Shogun. Great series.

 

Spoiler

I've been in such a bad mood after they killed off the lovely Lady Mariko though.  :sob:

Must be the only one who thought baby reindeer was very much overhyped 

 

Good acting but not my kind of thing

I'm not recommending Scandal (Channel 4) pretty mental US Presidential drama (7 series, 124 episodes). But just to mention Series 2 Episode 21, John Barrowman turns up.

Just finished House of the Dragon.

 

Back to the good old days of Game of Thrones when it was a tightly scripted political thriller and not whatever the feck the last two seasons were supposed to be.

Great casting with some really good performances. You can never go wrong with seasoned stage veterans.

I'd have scored this higher but having watched it after Shogun, it's just not in the same league.

A solid 7/10.

Baby Reindeer is excellent, in my opinion.

 

Not very often I can sit and watch a full series in one sitting but I did with this, had me gripped from start to finish.

 

Looks like the media have outed the real “Martha” too, her Facebook is full of bizarre rantings. Looks the real deal.

Baby Reindeer - great TV. His monologue on stage was a work of art. 
 

Only thing I didn’t like was the transsexual actress - thought she was really wooden and scripted. The rest of the cast were outstanding.

As I’ve got a free trial of Apple TV so decided to give Ted Lasso a look. And it’s actually really good and I’ve watched 4 episodes so far tonight.

Managed it in two days.

 

Hard to stop watching, very well done I thought.

 

Now to sit back and wait for House of The Dragon Season 2

A dissenting voice. I think Baby Reindeer is one of the worst things I have seen for a long time. Episode 4 just ludicrous. I am out now thankfully.
