Last King of the Cross looks like it's got a bit of potential, starts on Sky Max on Thursday.
Agree, it's been decent.Quote:

I watched 'Air' last night, it's on Prime. Story of how Nike signed Michael Jordon. Well worth a watch. Great cast.
What do you think Hutchy ? Im quite liking it so farQuote:

I've not started it yet, not been in the house much over the last few days.Quote:

Total lack of historical detail and positioning, the talking heads talking pure subjective and speculative nonsense and really just turned into some sort of weird ‘woman power’ thing. It totally fails to explain why they think that was the case and ultimately ignores the ending of her effectively losing Egypt as an independent nation to the romans. Avoid at all costs.
Was half way into it and this post just reminded me of that, not exactly riveting.Quote:

Yellowjackets season 2 was a major disappointment for me. Not sure where it goes now
In contrast I think the final season of Succession must be one of the best tv seasons ever. Can’t wait for the finale, might even watch live at 2am!
What a load of Tom Kite ‘Ted Lasso’ turned into!
Thank God its over!
Starts tonight, 3 episodes only, will catch up with it the morns nightQuote:

I'll give you my final verdict later.
Watching ‘Severance’ now.
Intriguing
I enjoyed the last episode. I think it was the correct ending although I think there's still scope for a 4th season.Quote:

Watched the first season of Ted Lasso last year, quite like the Ted Lasso character as I like Jason Sudekis but found the rest of the characters pretty cringeworthy. Didn’t go back for season 2
I loved this but don’t know anyone else that’s watched it. I can’t wait for the next season.Quote:

I thought it was brilliant, exquisitely well-written. Time and time again it could have brushed over a line into schmaltz and they always managed to steer it away.
No spoilers from me either, but I thought the shift in tone relating to Ted, about halfway though S2 was outstanding. It was the televisual version of a heavy gear change and it changed my perception of the show.
I had a look at the Ted Lasso thread that stopped on here around the end of S2 and I am going to speak up for an episode that no one else seemed to like. If you watched, you will know what I mean. I thought it was tremendous - every writer wants to do their version of Homer's Odyssey. I wasn't entirely sure of it until the scene in the crypt and that sealed the deal. And it focused on the best character as well!
With you on this one. I sort of liked the first episode, my partner wasn't fussed. We gave it another shot and by the end of the second episode we were both hooked.Quote:

I understand it is a real word-of-mouther, people hear about it from friends and watch it themselves. The writing is super sharp and funny to boot.
We also just finished watching Kleo, on Netflix. I thought it was brilliant - essentially a revenge spy story set in East Germany just as the Wall came down and reunification was starting, but with lots of dark comedy (and outright comedy) and trashy Euro80s pop.
The dubbing takes a bit of getting used to but by the end it actually felt part of it.
A small light.
Series focusing on the people not usually central to the Ann Frank story, like Meip Gies and Willem Arondeus the resistance fighter who bravely said "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards," near his end
A very hard watch obviously but very well done, Liev Schreiber is great as Otto
The 2 main characters, excluding Colin, are married in real life. I loved it.Quote:

I was half n half on Season 1 & 2 but If you were a bit of a next generation fan back in the day this season is an absolute blast.
A quality and nostalgic send off that invoked the memories and feeling of the old series perfectly.
I absolutely loved it l!
And to top it off we even get a bit of Q right at the end to tease a potential next chapter of the story.
:agree:Quote:

Me and the mrs loved this. I’m a Cold War enthusiast (**** knows if that’s a thing but I find it very interesting) and she’s not a clue about history or politics, but even she could enjoy it. Very good. So much so she said it’s better than any of the 007 films I’ve subjected her to, which is obviously wrong but nobody’s perfect eh.Quote:

I’ve never actually watched it, so maybe missing out. However saw a couple of random scenes where fans were in a pub watching a game. It was so wooden and unnatural I suspected it wasn’t for me.Quote:
