I liked the the look of that from the trailer but always end up forgetting about it. Will give it a go next week.Quote:

Peaky blinders just starting. Cillian Murphy ! :love ya!:
And was every bit as good as usual, between Peaky's and Attenborough the BBC is spoiling us just now :top marksQuote:

Rating have plunged in the U.S so probably will get pulled soon story is all over the place and what’s with the unlimited bullets they seem to have found! Need to put an end to this bit and probably go back on the road to make it interesting again.Quote:

I've been wondering about the bullets for a while myself, some of the shootout scenes on Monday were ridiculous, particularly when Rick was chasing the truck with the big machine gun firing out the back, reminded me of The A-Team!Quote:

I'm really enjoying mindhunter on Netflix. Fictional series based on the FBI agents that got the ball rolling on profiling using information obtained from interviewing serial killers.
Negan seems to have been away his holidays in the last couple of eps!
Just re-watched last nights Peaky Blinders. I'm no often speechless but they last ten minutes!
It's been out for a long time but I just caught up with the final two series of bbc The line of duty. What a fantastic cop drama. Very underrated.
Been trying to think what to watch next and you've given me the answer. Loved the movie but never got round to the t.v. series.Quote:

The punisher was ****ing awesome.
We started watching ‘The Sinner’ on Netflix last night and we are gripped. Near enough the first thing we both said when I came in tonight was that we can’t wait to watch a few more episodes tonight.
It has Jessica Biel in it and it has a feel to it that is not too dissimilar to ‘The Missing’.
I read somewhere that the first episode is hard to watch but if you can get past that, it’s really good. What does it mean by hard to watch? I got the impression it was gory or scary.Quote:

It certainly isn't up there with the 'Hostel' films, for example, in terms of gore or scariness. There's parts of the other episodes that we've watched so far that I've found a bit difficult to watch from a completely different perspective in terms of some of the themes.Quote:

Been watching American Gods.
Absolutely loved it. Hope there's another season .
Anyone watched Babylon Berlin? I'm hearing good things about this period drama set in the Golden 20's and leading up the the rise of the Nazis.
I've been watching it.Quote:

I do like the political backdrop. I don't always get the cultural references though.... they'll be more familiar to you.
It's reputedly one of the most expensive TV dramas ever made.
And Brian Ferry has his mitts all over it [emoji16]
That confirms what I'm hearing about it. My best mate who's a history teacher and rarely watches TV has only ever heaped praise like this on "Deadwood" before. I think it was the most expensive production of a series outside the US. No need for subtitles for me so I'll probably give it a whack.
I'm returning to Episode 1 series 1 of the Sopranos tonight. You can't beat it :top marks
Planning on doing this very soon as well. Been years since I finished it, looking forward to a re-watch!Quote:

Master of None is brilliant. Another comedy option on Netflix (more of a comedy drama) is You Me Her. It maybe isn’t an option if you’ve got kids around as there’s a fair amount of sex scenes in it.Quote:

Attenborough doing his normal depressing final episode, where the true *******ness of the human race is exposed. Plastics in the oceans.

I binge watched this on Tuesday night, yesterday morning. I really enjoyed it. I can see why people might be shocked, as it turns very suddenly, but I was waiting for it so I was ok. Found the last two episodes harder to watch.Quote:

I watch too much tv and normally see the twists in storylines long before they happen but they've managed to surprise me a few times. I also recognise a lot of the filming locations and think the computer animation to recreate them to how they looked before Berlin got flattened are excellent.Quote:

I'm watching dark, really enjoying it but my head is hurting trying to understand it at times, not sure if it's the watching it with subtitles, the storyline or a combination of both, will be easier for you with understanding the German and not having to read:faf:Quote:

Good insight into a mad few years from the beginning of the band right into their pomp at Knebworth. As Noel Gallagher said in the doc, they should have vanished into a puff of air after knebworth and their legacy would have been tenfold.
I watched it last night, it's brilliant - really well done. :agree:Quote:

It's not just you mate, my head is buzzing trying to follow the fast pace of the storyline. I really like the split screen shots that show the different characters then and now. I think there will definitely be a Yank remake of this show.Quote:

Started this a few nights ago and it's fantastic. While I'm reluctant to say that the big psychotic sex offender with the moustache is a "good" character as such, he's certainly unique...Quote:
