I've just seen a trailer for those about to die. Looks really good. Anyone watched any of it yet?

I've got 1 more episode of supacell to go, then onto the new series of vikings valhalla, probably go onto those about to die after that.

I watched the first couple last night. Not groundbreaking but entertaining enough. It took me a few minutes to retune my brain to ignore the very obvious CGI on the big shots of the city and suchlike. 

I found the editing really annoying in the first episode, it's cut like a comedy show cutting quickly between each scene as they tried to throw lots of characters and information at you.

Warmed up by the 3rd episode, it's decent but not as gripping as game of thrones, vikings etc  but watchable

I’m not sure you’re the person to be critiquing editing. 🤣🤣

Vesuvius seems to have got hellish close to Rome. 

 

Needed for plot purposes in three (historical) months time presumably.

Wathed the finale of PRESUMED INNOCENT last night with Jake Gyllenhall and **** me that was brilliant.

 

Great series.

Watched The Jetty. Bit too preachy for my liking.

Aye the quality has taken a nose-dive.

House of the Dragon remains solid in Season 2.

Some people are moaning at the lack of action but this is, at heart, a political thriller and not an action show.

Some solid writing and great acting performances keep it gripping enough with just enough gore to keep the proles happy.

[Ray Gin]

Eric (Netflix)

Benedict Cumberbatch stars as an alcoholic puppeteer whose 9 year old son disappears. Decent.

 

[Carl Fredrickson]

Steve Van Zandt -Disciple

 

Watch it on NOWTV last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some life he has had. 

[Mark_Mywords]

Suspect on CH4.  Far fetched pish.  I'm trying to work out why I watched the whole series.

I've watched this over the last few nights. Very good.

I have the three months trial of Apple TV so watching as much on that as I can, started Slow Horses last night and looks bloody good

Anybody watched A Touch of Cloth?

watched one episode last night. Thought it was very funny. You need to really keep an eye on what is going on in the background of scenes too.

Yeah it's brilliantly silly, Charlie Brooker should be a national treasure

I thought so too. Will continue binging it then. Surane Jones😍

House of the Dragon.

 

Season One was great. A tense, intelligent political thriller. With dragons.

Season Two, however, was seemingly just an 8 episode trailer for Season Three, which is two years away.

A very rapid fall in quality.

Confirmed that season 4 will be the last.

Dark Matter.

Alternate reality sci fi show.
An interesting premise, some decent writing and good performances.
Just don't think too much about it and you'll be able to gloss over all the holes in the internal logic.

7/10

I've started rewatching Atlanta after spotting it on Disney+ and realising I've not seen the 4th season. 

Love this comedy-drama; weird and quirky humour that's up my street. Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) stars as a skint bloke who becomes the manager of his cousin after he releases a surprise hit rap single. The show is about their attempts to break in to the industry and the mental characters they need to deal with along the way.

Enjoying Kleo on Netflix. Set during unification of Germany and is about Stasi assassin trying to figure out who betrayed her and why.

Has humourous undertone once you get past the killings.

Season 2 is on Netflix now. I've just finished it and it's still pretty enjoyable. Teases a Season 3 as well, although it could just finish here and be enough of an end (ie. no really big cliffhangers in Season 2 finale).

Would imagine so , the book died pretty quickly after the current characters of the show died too.

 

Loved Season One. Season Two less so, perhaps after getting bored and reading the book I had ruined most of it but the big episodes didnt really deliver. Daemon was wasted in Season 2, as soon as a show starts doing dream sequences its doomed. Actually enjoyed the final episode, but the full season did just work to build up the next and after finding out thats a two year wait..

Best interests on iplayer has been good, got 1 episode left. Martin Sheen never disappoints, terrific actor, and I like Sharon Horgan as well.

Uninterrupted's Top Class Tennis on prime 

[superjack]

Finally finished the brothers sun. I wasn't sure at first, glad I persevere though as I really enjoyed it. 

Wad also watching house of the dragon at the same time, the old fashioned way, 1 episode per week. Again, really loved it. My only gripe being I need to wait 2 years for series 3.

Finally got round to start watching vikings valhalla. I'll probably have that finished by the weekend.

American Murder : Lacy Peterson

 

On netflix 

[superjack]

Just finished the jetty on iplayer. What an amazing programme that was. 

[Cade]

Time Bandits has finished its run.

Overall a nice little bit of fun, broken up into easily digestible little pieces of 25 minutes each.

Some jokes miss, some jokes hit, but being a Taika Waititititititi project, the jokes are one every 5 seconds so you can just ignore the bad ones.

Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger but if it gets cancelled then at least the ending acts a sort of prequel for the original Terry Gilliam film.

I know it's yet another "remake/sequel/prequel/reimagining/updating for modern audiences/whatever" project from a creatively bankrupt western entertainment industry but this is far from the worst offering in the last few years.

Worth a watch after a few wee bevvies.

Kids will lap it up.

7/10.

 

[Tazio]

Started watching Bad Monkey on Apple TV. The usual Carl Hiaasen seedy Florida detective type thing. Lots of good characters and doesn’t take itself too seriously. 

[benny]

Anybody watched Let the right one in TV series.

Loved the book and the films.

[Sooperstar]

Finally getting round to Shogun. 3 episodes in and really enjoying it.

[Tazio]

I’ve been watching Wyatt Earp And The Cowboy War on Netflix. Pretty interesting if you enjoy westerns and a lot more depth than the ones I’ve seen about them before.

I've not watched it, so can't advise, but loved the book and films too. I never bothered watching the TV series when I noticed it had been cancelled after one season.

[milky_26]

finally got around to watching the last series of the umbrella academy. decent final series but disappointed in the ending

[Ron Burgundy]

Been binge watching Naked and Afraid on discovery Plus. 
I know a lot is staged but I’m addicted. 
The castaway series had a guy the double of Craig Halkett 😂
