I'm pretty much up to date with it, could do with it finishing soon to be honest.Quote:

I've just finished the first couple of episodes and thought they were brilliant. You know what you are getting with Stephen Graham but all the cast are superb, particularly the young lad in the lead role. What I like about Graham is he lets other people lead, even when it's his show he doesn't push himself front and centre.Quote:

3rd episode is unreal considering the inexperience of the young boy and it all being shot in one scene.Quote:

James Spader as Reddington is superb.
Tried Gangs of London S1E1 on Netflix last night hoping for a gritty realistic dive into the depths of the London underworld. Not a good start seeing that Joe Cole was the lead 'cos he was awful in that recent BBC drama about the runaway sleeper train. Immediately unconvincing. However, things looked up when I saw Irish actor Colm Meaney appear early doors, only for him to last about 2 mins before getting shot. Twice. Deid.Quote:

All immediately unconvincing glorified fantasy. But if that floats your boat.......
Each to their own, I enjoyed Gangs of London, and This City is Ours but found Adolescence began to bore me.Quote:

Temptation Island, ****ing greedy *******s !! 🤣
Mind you the smell of freshly made coffee I think you would have to chain me down to avoid that 🤭
That Nathaniel guy is the worst by a mile. Played the big man from day one, full of bravado and pyschobabble bull****, has an ego bigger than his vanity muscles, proved he has the willpower of a toddler in a sweetie store and still tried to pretend he was a big respected leader after getting called out. The fact no one laid him out is testament to their willpower, particularly after he ate all their food before going for his 2 steaks. I'm not sure I'd have been able to resist landing one on him. At least the guy Tomasz is honest about what he is and what he is doing.Quote:

They both tried to appoint themselves leaders and failed miserably. For me the obvious solution is to call a meeting on night 1. Say it's not fair if people just take what they want left, right and centre but equally it's unrealistic to expect 12 people to go 18 days taking nothing. Suggest that on 3 occasions, evenly split between the 18 days so say days 5, day 10 and day 15 they all take a temptation as a group but make it one of the ones that includes food and a decent sleep. The one where they were offered the beds, air conditioning, snacks, a shower and breakfast for £1500 a bed or £750 a person should have been a no brainer for them all to take, by the standards of the show that was great value and would have left everyone in a better frame of mind, but because they had divided into little cliques it became a total warzone.
I think most of them are just stupid rather than selfish. I suppose that's why they were picked. 12 rational, sensible people would make pretty crap trash TV.
Mobland.
Very good first episode
This City Is Ours on BBC iPlayer. Outstanding.
Agree, Liverpool version of Kin. Half way through and it's very gripping.Quote:

Some folks do this anyway, but it would be great if when recommending shows folks could say where they've watched them (platform wise)?
Just caught up with this, brilliant stuff 🤣Quote:

The first series came out in 2019 with James Corden, Russell Howard and Miranda Hart. Think it's on episode 364 now.Quote:
