Deadwater fell was good up till the last one. Felt it kind of petered out a bit

I thought David tennant portrayed evil really well. Was very menacing and sinister

Started watching the US office. Thoroughly enjoying it tbh, never thought it would rival the UK one in any way but I’ve laughed out loud so often watching it. Love Steve carrell

I put off watching if for years and only got round to watching it last autumn. Absolutely loved it! Peaks and troughs in quality but the peaks are fantastic. Enjoy

Thanks mate. Tbh I was thinking nothing would surpass the UK version  but I have given it a try and it’s very funny,  the performances are top notch too, especially big Kevin and Dwight lol. I love Ellie kemper too as Erin. As I’ve said, Steve carrell is excellent. Didn’t envy him trying to follow Ricky gervais but he’s given the character another dimension

I just watched it recently too. I thought the first couple of seasons were fairly close to being as good as the UK one, but then the quality nose-dives.

The first two seasons were basically just the UK office with an American accent were they not? :lol: then it went its own way entirely. I loved both though. Funny how if you speak to an American they generally say the first two seasons are shit and then it picks up.

It certainly followed the format much more closely and had similar plot lines in the first 2 seasons. Then it just abandons even trying to be a mockumentary and becomes a weird sitcom where people talk to the camera now and then. The cringe-factor increases tenfold, and not in a funny-cringe good way. Also way too many office romances and folk trying to fire into each other. It's a shame as the first 2 seasons were good.

A bit late to it but started Pennyworth last night. First couple of episodes were pretty good so I’ll stick with it. And the lead actor has his Michael Caine voice impression pretty spot on.

The Pharmacist (documentary series) on Netflix is a good watch.

 

"In 1999, after losing his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans and lacking answers from police, a small town pharmacist - Dan Schneider - beats the odds when he embarks on a dogged pursuit to find and bring his son's killer to justice. But months later, the ripple effects of his son's addiction and tragic death would find him again when a troubling number of young, seemingly healthy people begin visiting Dan's pharmacy with high dose prescriptions for OxyContin."

Stranger on Netflix.

Very watchable suspense thriller type thing. Similar to ' Safe' on Netflix last year.

 

I hope the acting and dialogue is better than it was in Safe.

Nope!

 

Acting was rank. Just finished it, thought it was rubbish.

We seem to watch the same shit, and have the same views. I felt the last episode was a let down also.

 

Cant wait until Wednesday for the final episode also. Been really good so far. That Mark Addy is a cracking actor likes.

Narcos Mexico Season 2 out Thursday on Netflix. 

 

 


never knew this was coming. Love the series , the last series in Mexico was brilliant so am stoked this is up on Thursday. Would normally take a day off work to binge it as Mrs Fozzy doesn’t like it, but too late now to get the day off.

We just finished watching Safe. Really enjoyed it tbh. Yeah, the acting wasn’t the best but it was still a good watch.

Class 👍 

 

Watched it in Norwegian with subs, can't stand dubbing. 

 

Thought it was excellent. Looks like it may become a classic.

Any news on Gomorrah?

 

Season 4 just aired on Sky Atlantic last year. Season 5 isn't due until next year.

 

There is a prequel film called "The Immortal" which is based around Ciro that was supposedly screened in Italy last month.

Not recommending this at all but has anyone watched itv's new Saturday night fluff the masked singer? Basically a masked 'celebrity' is singing and a panel of other celebrities need to try and guess who it is. Load of genuine shite, but one of the panel is Ken Jeong and one of his guesses was Peter Shilton and stuff like that makes it hilarious. Also the panel make guesses like Jack Black, Beyonce and other A list names and it ends up being folk like patsy palmer or former Labour mp Alan Johnson. 

 

👏 Comedy Gold.

I am up to episode 5, it’s carries on perfectly from the end of last season.  I’m loving it so far, great acting as usual & a brilliant show.

I've just started watching Two Doors Down after a mate recommended it. Ashamed to say I'm quite enjoying it although Elaine C Smith might grate on me quite quickly.

Season 2 of Altered Carbon is coming to Netflix on 27th Feb. I really enjoyed the first season, so looking forward to it. Joel Kinnaman isn't returning as the main character, but that's in keeping with the premise of the show and it would actually have gone against the book source material if he had starred again.

Is the outsider worth sticking with,  I loved the first few but found it was going off the rails and haven't watched the most recent 2 episodes yet?
