JudyJudyJudy Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Really enjoying “Godfathers of Harlem “. On episode 4 now pleasantly surprised to see the great Chazz Palmentiri appear . Wonderful actor who was brilliant as the gangster in “Bullets over Broadway “ ! And in various other roles Spoiler Only thing I don’t like is having real life people like Mohammed Ali in the story as unsure if the plot about him is truthful ? Although he’s represented really well in it . It’s unfair to have him in it if it’s not accurate . Not sure how Others feel about this ? What’s the point of it ? It seems to be a new phenomena in films or tv shows . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Quite enjoying the new Israeli/American Netflix series Hit & Run. Took a bit to get going but ended up watching the first 4 episodes last night, and would have carried on if I'd not had to get up for work this morning! Not giving anything away, as it's in the shows synopsis, but it's about an Israeli man whose American wife is killed in a hit and run. Needless to say, it's not quite as straightforward as that and the more he digs into it the more he finds his wife had secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 For all the big kids or people who have kids Battlebots on Netflix is the American version of Robot Wars. It's all a bit more flash than the British version, not having teams of blokes called Jeff or Trevor who made it in their garage with spare washing machine parts.

Cade Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Space: Above & Beyond. A criminally under-rated mid-1990's sci-fi show. On the surface it's a war drama following a squad of raw recruits on a path to becoming hardened veterans of a war against aliens but it's far deeper than that. Covers all kinds of topics from slavery, racism, torture, PTSD, obsession, politics, lies, AI, identity, war crimes and a whole host of other heavyweight topics. Ran for only a single 23 episode series before getting canned but it was years ahead of its time. Well worth tracking it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching it at the time it was first aired and loving it, then was really disappointed it was cancelled after 1 season. If any show was to get a reboot, this was one I would have up there on my preferred list. Someone like Netflix or Amazon would probably do a good job of it, as I imagine the per episode cost would be pretty high (maybe why it was cancelled) but they're happy to throw a big budget at a show if they want to.

I gave up about half way through 7, wishing I'd stopped much earlier. 5 and 6 I watched through obligation and determination to see the story out rather than actually enjoying it.

Though I can't see how they can due to the main character's direct involvement in the story. Maybe him being ex special services will give them something to go on. Good watch though with a lot of decent characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder in an earlier post if Bosch would appear in that too, seeing as there's some crossover in the novels, but I've seen a quote from Connelly that that won't happen as they're on competing sites, Netflix and Amazon. Just read that there's now going to be a spinoff series based on Bosch, with Welliver returning in the main role along with his daughter and "Money" Chandler. Very much a follow up to the end of season 7 of the series on Amazon, as Connelly is also involved and the series creator for the original series is overseeing it. It says the series will be available on Amazon owned IMDb TV which is only available in the US currently, but hopefully it comes to a UK available broadcaster. Or, of course, there are other ways to view it if not... https://www.newsweek.com/what-we-know-about-bosch-spin-off-cast-release-date-1604787 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
