Tazio Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 8 minutes ago, jonesy said: A hard watch, but Berlin 1945 on iPlayer is darkly fascinating. All footage is original from the time, as Berlin moves from normal-ish to complete breakdown as the Russians enter, with eyewitness diary voiceovers. I hope they mentioned the thing that history likes to shut its eyes to. The tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of women raped by soviet soldiers. I’ve a good female friend from Berlin and asked her about it once and she said it’s something people don’t talk about as the scale of it was so huge it was impossible that a family won’t have had members that got away with it. There’s a quote from a Russian intellectual saying the Russians didn’t go to Berlin for victory they went for revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women's diaries show how common it became - one of them mentioned that the only reasons she was writing about the night was because she hadn't been raped. Horrific. Good, well not good but I’m glad it’s now being spoken about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Space:Above&Beyond. Criminally under-rated and mostly unknown 1990's sci fi series in the same vein as Battlestar Galactica and Starship Troopers. Only ran for a single 23-episode series.

Tazio Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’ve discovered Forged In Fire. Contests between blade makers to make knives and swords. I know nothing about blacksmith work or making weapons but it’s oddly fascinating. I do enjoy a good film with sword fights and the like so maybe that’s where the interest comes from.

Aaron78 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I know it's already been spoken about but just finished s8 of Dexter. Thoroughly enjoyed the series overall though agree it lost a bit of steam after s4. Season 8 is almost pointless. While I don't mind the ending, it's a bit meh. Don't know how to use 'hide contents' so won't post spoilers but it even could have been finished with a better ending after season 7 if a main character had taken a different choice in the final episode. The problem overall is that the Dexter of the early seasons was interesting because he was clearly an outsider trying to pretend to fit into society while hiding a secret. He almost becomes integrated into society later on which doesn't ring true. Still, very excited to see Clyde Phillips back on board for the new season! Hoping we get the stellar ending the character deserves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disser Pointon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Trial 4 on netflix, excellent.

Hoping we get the stellar ending the character deserves! Dexter deteriorated drastically towards the end of the run . The best season by far was the trinity killer one with guest star John Lithgow ( brilliant actor ) Spoiler Although one positive of the ending was the death of Dexters sister who was an annoying cow as well as terrible actress . They also made mistakes with killing off some great characters . I’m unsure why they are bringing it back though ? I also liked the season with guest star Yvonne Stravidki ( can’t spell her name ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to head to bed a couple of hours ago and saw on iPlayer there is a new Attenborough series The Perfect Planet. So had to watch a couple of episodes. These programmes never fail to produce the goods. I’m in my 50’s and have been obsessed with wildlife programmes since I was a kid and thought I was pretty knowledgable about most things. Yet every one of these I discover more amazing things about nature. All I’m going to say is if you watch even just the first episode your mind will be blown by something I didn’t think existed and would never have imagined. Galapagos finches astonishing behaviour. Finished watching this last night. Amazing as always. I knew the final episode would be the most upsetting though. 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Finished " Lupin" on Netflix. its really good. Its about a jewel thief in Paris who is seeking revenge against a guy who framed his dad. Its fast moving, funny and very light hearted romp for most of the time. The actor playing the main lead is brilliant and very charismatic. It reminds me a lot of " Sherlock" for some reason. Only 5 episodes on it just now but think there are 5 more episodes on the way soon. Great scenery of Paris too. 8/10 from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
