No doubt the subscription price will go up accordingly in the near future to cover it...
Heartofhearts Posted February 17 Posted February 17 @rudi must stay Glad you enjoyed the Dinosaur series. My apologies - the thread is ' recommend a tv series' - not criticise one, which is what I have done here.
Heartofhearts Posted February 17 Posted February 17 @Tazio this Netflix series seems very good, though only on episode 2.

My apologies - the thread is ' recommend a tv series' - not criticise one, which is what I have done here. Plenty of posts on here, from me as well, to 'recommend a TV series....to avoid', so don't think there's any issues with posting if you didn't like something. We've all got different tastes, so there's plenty of disagreement to go around
Tommy Brown Posted February 17 Posted February 17 "Recommend to avoid" is equally important, in my book

PortyJambo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Eric Dane, who was in Grey's Anatomy, Euphoria, Last Ship and many other shows, dies from ALS aged 53. I can't say I ever thought he was a good actor, but saw him recently in Countdown on Prime and so a slight shock to now know he's died. Way too young for anyone to die.

Can't say i remember him in much else though. 53 is way too young.
rudi must stay Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Can You Keep A Secret on iPlayer is pretty good. Mark Heap from Friday Night Dinner is in it funny guy
kila Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Finally getting round to watching Fallout. Coop looks so much like Shankland (in the flashbacks, not as a ghoul )
Jamboross Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Very much enjoyed the first three episodes of season 2 of Paradise on Disney+. Weekly episodes for the season of the season is a bit nippy though.
JWL Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Just watched the first couple of episodes of 'Dirty Business'. Drama about water companies dumping sewage into rivers and on to beaches. Tough watch at times.
Tommy Brown Posted February 26 Posted February 26 AI Confidential with Hannah Fry BBCi 3 documentries on our use of AI, watched first two so far. One on AI Chat box that lead to a young loner being arrested at Windsor Castle plotting to murder the Queen. Second on Uber and Tesla's autonomous cars, with horrific accidents. Startling watch.
Disser Pointon Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Much more light hearted than other GOT series so far and I thought the young lad who played Egg was excellent. 8/10.

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Titanic Sinks Tonight (Iplayer) My daughter is doing a project at school about the Titanic. She watched the movie at her mums for research, so I thought I would try and add some facts to assist her. We watched this on one sitting (4 parts) and I found it compelling viewing. It has actors telling the stories of individuals who survived in their own words. It brought home the true horror of that night, how so many things could have prevented it being such a disaster and also horrific decisions that had to be made any terrible circumstances.

There was a really good documentary on either Channel 4 or 5 re “ 10 mistakes “ think it was 10 . Anyway it was excellent . Maybe on their 4 or 5OD

I saw a doc a couple of years ago that may be that one. I will look for it - thanks.

Meanwhile, in "Poster discovers a series from 10 years ago" news, we've been watching This Country. Not sure why I missed it back in the day, but we're all enjoying it. Very quotable, too.

My son says if you have not played the game then all the various flash backs and characters merge and it gets confusing. I watched S2 but in all honesty not a clue what was going on for a lot of the time. I am old though, and have never gamed once in my life so that probably does not help Just crack on but let me know how you get on.

Had no idea it was based on a video game until my son-in-law told me he played it. I love the music with the flashbacks.
Tazio Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I’ve just spotted a new series from the Yellowstone universe. Marshals on Paramount+ following Kayce the youngest son after he joins the US Marshal service.
Tazio Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Also in new releases Young Sherlock on Amazon. Another Guy Ritchie series, this time about the early years of Sherlock Holmes (obviously).
Tommy Brown Posted March 6 Posted March 6 The Lady ITV/STV player 4 part docu-drama on Jane Andrews, who was DoY (Fergie) dresser for 10 years. Found guilty of murder. Really well put together series 4x 1hr episodes.
PortyJambo Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Hijack season 2 on Apple+, with Idris Elba returning in the main role. Enjoyable enough, if even more OTT than the 1st season, but happy if they just put it to bed now before the 3rd season features a hijack of an Uber/tuk-tuk or whatever they think of next 6.5/10
