How they turn petty criminals into informants to try and catch terrorist cells. Fiction -not a documentary. Quite interesting and some good performances. Really enjoyed it. Yeah watched it too, found it very entertaining also. Solid 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Watched This Is England (film and TV shows) this week. Some great acting from what was then a young cast.

Cruyff Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Halfway through season 2 of Mr Mercedes. 1st season was great. 2nd season a bit weird. I'm hoping the 3rd season can rescue it. Brendan Gleeson is fantastic in it, a great actor. Might give that informer a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just watched, The Investigation, didn’t realise it was based on a true story. If you can hack the subtitles it’s a good watch. to lighten it up a bit, enjoyed Resident Alien, on Sky the other night. Will be interesting to see how that develops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 So as part of the Amazon contract the ex Top Gear presenters are doing spin off shows as well as The Grand Tour. May did one about Japan that was enjoyable and a cooking programme that was a bit of light fluff. perfectly agreeable television helped by his personality. I’ve just watched the first episode of Hammond’s one. The Great Escapists. Him and a guy from Mythbusters stuck on a desert island inventing things. Could be fun and informative. It isn’t. Utter pish. Probably cost a fortune to film as well. Nothing explained, and just in the first episode they’ve managed to build cars and a massive house so incredibly unrealistic and even worse they’re doing it as an acted piece of fiction.

Clarkson has actually made a few very good documentaries about military history. I get the impression May is genuinely interested in what he makes and the Japanese show was a very respectful one about a country that fascinates him. Clarkson seems very into the subject of his. Hammond however just wants to be famous and stay on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Just started on this tonight and one episode in. Enjoying though I keep getting distracted by the actor playing his dad in the flashbacks as he’s the double of Patrice Evra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkson is really good on QI too i think , in one of the feature length top gears or Grand Tours he talks about the Killing Fields and is clearly an intelligent and educated man if you listen to some of the stuff he comes out with or is interested in.

PortyJambo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Watched the Russian Netflix show To The Lake this week, and fairly enjoyed it. It was made pre-pandemic but deals with a virus outbreak in Russia that is highly contagious and which has an almost 100% mortality rate. No zombies involved, but similar to the Walking Dead in portraying societal breakdown after a deadly virus breaks out. I watched with subtitles, as prefer watching foreign language shows that way, but dubbed audio is available as with other Netflix shows (put it on for a while to see what it was like, but found the American accents off-putting for a Russian show). Would give it 7.5/10, and supposedly it's been renewed for a 2nd season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what it says on the tin abandoned places , areas , buildings etc and gives a bit of history about them.
