[QUOTE=Pretty Boy;6498069]Looking forward to the new Line of Duty.
Watched the end of Bloodlands at the weekend. 1st couple of episodes were quite promising then it got silly then the ending was just ludicrous. Won't be bothering with the 2nd series when it comes along.[/QUOTE]
I though it was pish tbh.
Especially compared to LOD, I've been re-watching it in preparation for the new series. Cracking TV.
I honestly don’t get what’s not to like, assuming you like the previous five. It was perhaps lacking the explosive (literally)start you sometimes get in episode one, it was all unresolved tension when they were staking out the house etc, but it had all the wee trademarks that we’re used to. I particularly liked Adrian Dunbar coming out with ‘haud yer wheesht’ :faf: I thought my granny was in the room...Never realised that was an ulster thing too.Quote:

Was a good start though.
Stephen Graham is a great actor.Quote:

There's a French remake starting on TV here tonight with a comedian in the main role. I think I'll give it a swerve.Quote:

Just binged The Looming Tower today, absolutely fantastic watch albeit quite infuriating at times showing the relationship, or lack of, between the FBI and CIA. Without saying 9/11 could have 100% been avoided, more certainly could have been done.
Just finished it. Pretty light viewing and all a bit of a nonsense.Quote:

Agreed. I haven't enjoyed her acting in any of her roles. IMO very overrated actress.Quote:

Did anyone watch 24 hours in police custody? I recorded it so just watching now, literally screaming at the tv. Can’t believe one person can be such a piece of ****.
Trying to put a name to the actress who plays the mother Quinn?Quote:

It was boring, but once you get a few episodes in you have to finish it. I managed to finish it this afternoon and episode 10 was probably the best of the lot, although it did not have much to beat. :greengrinQuote:

The further it went on, the angrier I was getting, when they started talking about lack of evidence, I lost it, I thought he was going to get off. His crimes were bad enough, but his whole attitude tipped me over the edge.Quote:

I’ve finally finished off the last season of Homeland, and I thought it was brilliant. Great way to end the show, hope they leave it at that.
Watched that too, was alright. Absolutely mental though.Quote:
