Currently watching Designated Survivor on Netflix which is pretty good. On 12/08/2020 at 17:46, Ray Gin said: Started on 'Killing Eve' but don't think I can be arsed with it. Not funny enough to be a black comedy and not gritty enough to be a decent drama. Really enjoyed S1, not so much s3 and hardly watched s3.

1971fozzy Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Watching the 2nd series of Dear John on Netflix. Only 3 episodes in and it’s pretty decent.

Ray Gin Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I've started rewatching The Bridge, which has just reappeared on iPlayer. It's probably the best nordic-noir series.

I can’t imagine not having watched it now. My missus had never seen it and I've not watched it since it was originally aired so currently rewatching from the start. Perhaps I was too wet around the ears first time but I don't remember it being so funny. Some of the one liners are superb but probably flew over my head all those years ago. I've also started listening to the Talking Sopranos podcast by Michael Imperioli (Christopher) and Steve Schirripa (Bobby). They start from episode one and are discussing an episode per podcast, have guests on etc. They even had David Chase write some lines about what the characters would say about Covid-19.

EagleJambo Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Watching a couple of older series at the moment: Twin on iPlayer (with the lad from Game of Thrones).

Lone Striker Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 For some light comedy relief, "Ghosts" is pretty good (BBC ). It's a sort of sitcom, based around a young couple who decide to buy an old country mansion in need of repairs. The girl (Alison) is able to see and hear all the ghosts, but her hubby (David) can't. The ghosts are from different eras (e.g. a romantic Byron-type poet, a frumpy Victorian lady, a rather simple farmers wife, a married Tory MP with a penchant for the ladies, a scout leader, etc). Its cleverly written with plenty avenues for comedy due to the variety of characters from different eras seeing modern technology for the first time. The re-run of series 2 has just started, where each episode has a flashback to show how one of the ghosts met their death in or around the mansion. Very clever and witty stuff. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply this best TV ever made I’d you’ve not seen it which I assume everyone probably has then you are in for a massive treat👍 Yes completely agree the best show of all time . Watched it a couple of times now . I’m due a third time . It’s just incredible as the characters are so well written and the viewer has sympathy for the psychopathic Tony and the other guys . The interactions between him and his mother Livia are the heart of the story I think . Also the scenes with him meeting with Dr Melfi were also pivotal to the show . It’s an intelligent tv series , Spoiler The actress who played Livia was Nancy Marchand . Chase had written a storyline where she would testify against Tony but sadly she died so he couldn’t run with that story , which is a pity .

Pans Jambo Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Kobra Kai. Enjoyed it. Netflix. 35 years after the films. Same people. Daniel is a complete "Richard Head" and the real victim (Johnny) life is in the shitter. Their lives collide again and the whole rivalry "kicks off" (to an extent). 80's cheesefest but I grew up then so it's good. Some genuinely funny moments in it and its got a fair bit of karate action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
