So the Walking Dead was back last night.
*Spoiler Alert*
Carl appears to be dead in another snooze fest of an episode. I still don't believe he is actually dead.🤔
On a side note, should TWD even be in a "best tv" forum? Literally no idea why I continue to watch it.
I gave up on it after the first episode of this series, refused to put my time into something I no longer enjoy just for the sake of it and the time I've already put in, the walking dead worst enemy is that there is no end in sight, it will keep going on and onQuote:

Caught up with Wolf Hall recently. It was pretty good.
I’m a really big fan of Hilary Mantel’s writing. She’s one of the few English writers these days who is not focused entirely on the effete middle classes. That stuff doesn’t make it to the screen, though. Only stuff about the aristrocracy!!
Very tempted to do the same, it actually feels like a chore watching it now.Quote:

It's very good. I like Rylance a lot, although Mantel portrayed Cromwell as more violent and menacing than Rylance does.Quote:

Watched all of save me this week while working from home. Pretty decent.
Try The Blacklist - it's great
We watched a docu-film called “What the Health” on Netflix last night. It is about how all the health organisations (doctors, hospitals, cancer charities, heart charities, etc.) are lying to us about the causes of health issues because they are allegedly in financial cahoots with industry. It becomes apparent fairly quickly that the industries they are talking about here are the meat and dairy industries.
I said to my wife in the first 5 minutes of watching it that I bet this is vegan propaganda and I was right. I googled it and it looks like the makers of the film are in cahoots with vegan organisations (Joaquin Phoenix is a producer on it and he is involved with various vegan and animal rights organisations). Towards the end it descends into being nothing more than an advert for an “exclusively plant based diet”
Some of the claims they make include that sugar consumption has nothing to with diabetes, that eating protein (and especially meat) is the cause of both types of diabetes, that you can eat as many carbs as you want as it has very little effect on your health and that smoking is much better for you than eating an egg.
The presenter is a bit of a moron as well. At the start he claims that up until now he’s lived what he’s thought a healthy life of exercise and diet as he’s a bit of a hyperchondriac owing to his family’s many health problems. However, in researching this film he’s come realise he’s been wrong about many things. One such thing is that he only realised by doing this film that bacon and hotdogs are processed foods - WTF?
I’d avoid this film if at all possible. Unless you want to scream at the telly. Or unless you are a vegan.
Edit: I forgot to mention that they actually wheel out Steve-O from Jackass as an expert on all this.
I thought it was a bit short.Quote:

Anyone else watching Jamestown? Continues to be a good watch.
Just finished the sinner, was a pretty decent watch...
Cannae believe this hasn't been mentioned but, CH4s secret lives of 4/5/6 year olds, reduces me to tears everytime! Imagine being innocent again.
It's tremendous, new series coming soon apparently.Quote:

If so, was it pretentious bollocks or disturbingly brilliant? I need to know. :rolleyes:
I went to watch it and got caught up watching The West Wing (again).Quote:

I’m watching the Expanse at the moment. It’s pretty heavy on the sci-fi, but I like that sort of thing.
You should give Phillip K Dick's Electric Dreams a go, some weird stuff!Quote:

I know its been around for a few years, but I've just started watching series 1 of Boardwalk Empire.
Steve Buscemi is an actor I like, and it looks pretty decent so far, with lots of episodes to look forward to.
GGTTH
Its outstanding, Kelly McDonald is very good in it too.Quote:

Can we maybe start a clique, and if so, what should we call it - Cliquey Boardwalk ?
;-)
GGTTH
24 Hours in Police Custody - has anyone mentioned that yet? *I might have.
Well worth a watch, some fascinating stuff.
Just watched the 4th series of Black Mirror. As brilliant as the previous 3.
Also just started watching Toast of London which I managed to miss for years. Really enjoying it but I reckon it would be one that splits opinion.
Feel free to also join my 'Cliquey Blinders' cliqueQuote:

The Disappearance was quite good although I would quite happily have punched a few of the main characters on multiple occasions.
The assassination of Gianni Versace.
Few episodes in and it pretty good interesting story.
We say TV but almost everything we watch at home is streamed.
I wonder what percentage of screen time comprises people sitting in front a a TV watching what is being broadcast at that moment.
Crashing. Series about a aspiring comedian who spends his life moving around different people's couches after his marriage breaks down. First series was realy good, about to start the second.
Wee reminder that the crossing starts tonight , I think its on Fox, It's the guys that directed Lost so might be worth watching if that was your thing
I thought that was one of the worst things I’ve seen. The script was poor, the acting terrible and the conclusion daft.Quote:

The Defiant Ones, story of Dr Dre and Jimmy Lovine. On Netflix just now as a mini series, absolutely outstanding insight into how things worked back then with a tremendous amount of brilliant interviews.
Honestly one of the best things I've seen in telly for yonks!
Amazon I think.Quote:

Viola Davis continues to be outstanding on How to get away with murder, shes a fantastic actress.
Last couple of episodes of Marcella have been a wee bit flat but I’m still hooked. Not sure if they’ve thrown in too many characters.
Finished McMafia this week - enjoyed it.
Started Homeland and that’s started well. I prefer the US/UK based storylines over the Middle East ones.
Thought the pilot episode of the crossing was decent , Think this could be good
Legion is the most original and trippy show on TV just now. Season two just started on Tues. It's nothing like any other Marvel TV shows or movies. In fact I think it's the best product from the Marvel stable. A complete glorious mindf*** of a show. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's straight into my top 5 favourite programmes ever made.
Just in case anyone is put off by the comic book thing.
Imagine putting...
Fight Club
Twin Peaks
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Inception
The Matrix
David Lynch & Stanley Kubrick
and the X-Men movies
...in a blender. The result:
A mindboggingly, amazingly tasty Legion smoothie.

Watched the 1st ep of The City & The City, not got a clue whats meant to be going on!
Really enjoyed the first couple of eps of Kiss Me First on Ch4.
I'm more likely to watch BBC programmes when they are actually broadcast, almost everything with adverts except live sport I'll watch via Tivo/Kodi.Quote:

Seriously gone from one of the best shows on tv to one of the worst. It's unreal how stale the show is nowQuote:

It's the same with the comic books. Got so stale and repetitive.Quote:

Next up I plan to watch the Judd Apatow documentary on Garry Shandling, gets great reviews.
I stopped watching after the previous season, haven't missed it in the slightest.Quote:

The absolute hacks that write The Walking Dead have admitted they never plan to explain what has caused the situation. They've shown time and again that they don't really understand how to tell a story.....see the fiasco of the Glenn stories and some of the awful cliffhangers.
It's nothing but a cash cow for them now.
Couldn't agree more. On a positive note, no real cliffhangers, as Lord Sugar would say, "im out"Quote:

It really is down to personal preference as i absolute love TWD ! Best programme on tv by a mile for me
Salamander series 2 on bbc4 after 4 years away. Really good first couple of episodes.Grizzled Flemish cop.
Billions continues to be one of the best things on TV, Lewis/Giamatti are two fantastic actors
Definitely one of the best of recent years really well written.Quote:

Just finished it. I knew absolutely nothing about the Rajneesh movement before watching. It's amazing how far they got with their movement in the U.S., They wouldn't even make it off the plane these days.Quote:
