Back in the day I only watched season 3 and I really enjoyed it, but the reviews said it was poor compared to the first 2. I actually bought it on blu-ray a month ago so about to start it.Quote:

I read that it's the same as the English language version and that both were filmed at the same time with each scene being done in Welsh then in English / bilingual. Don't know if that's true or not, I haven't seen the Welsh version.Quote:

Thirteen finishes a bit abruptly, I get the feeling there were originally more eps or 2nd series planned that never came to fruition.Quote:

I’ve just finished Dark on Netflix, it’s a Germany series that’s been dubbed into English. The story line was brilliant and I really enjoyed it, but I think you lose something when you can’t hear the actors voices. I’d definitely recommend it though.
I'm going to throw in Mrs.America.
It's a bit of a slog, but it moved me to find out more about a period of recent history that is probably little known about by those of us of a certain age,nationality and gender.
Cate Blanchett is, as ever, wonderful. As is Tracey Ullman.
Watched it in original and it was pretty good for a German TV production, they make some decent films but their TV is generally dire with a few exceptions.Quote:

Then you have all the add-ons like Mrs Mibbes wanting attention, children wanting attention, household jobs, it is remorseless.
Watching Gangs of New York, never got the critics hate, thought it was brilliant.
Scorsese apparanlty was unhappy with the final edit so awaiting the directors cut. One of Scorsese's most loved actors is a Hibs fan, he asked Scorsese to change the script from Hibernian B@tards to Hibernian hordes cos he couldn't say it. Anyways, Scorsese has a few Scottisb actors in his collection. I doubt they are all Hibs but its funny
Finished Baptiste utterly outstanding
Not TV I know but I've just finished the first 3 omnibus comics of The Boys.Quote:

It would be interesting to see how they match up, I do know that Hughie is different in the TV show compared to the comics, he is the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan and looks nothing like the comic version, apparently the character is based on Simon Pegg, the show is messed up but I love it, some great one liners in it too.Quote:

The books are very different but basic premise. Hughie is indeed modeled on Simon Pegg (hence why he plays his father) and he's from Glasgow in the books.Quote:

Did notice in the trailer for season 2 a quick glimpse of Butchers dog Terror... hope he's the same!!
Been watching Bloodline on netflix, bit of a slow burner at first but getting really good now (just on first season)
I just watched The Australian Dream - a documentary about Adam Goodes an indigenous Aussie Rules player who stood up to racism. Really enjoyed it. Might still be on iPlayer - I recorded it on bbc2 a week or so ago.

Flying through the documentaries just now and watched Worlds Most Wanted over the past couple of days. I see that Felicien Kabuga was finally arrested this year while they were completing the documentary. The Russian mobster may be a tricky one to catch but the other 3 will surely be caught some day, hopefully starting with the British jihadist lady. Crazy story her life.
Battered through most of season one tonight, looking forward to season 2.Quote:

I watched two excellent documentaries over the weekend, they are on Sky Crime, first one was Outcry about a high school American footballer accused of sexual assault and the other one was I will be gone in the dark which is about the East Area Rapist, a guy who raped 50 women and killed 12 people in the 70s and 80s
Cheers for that MD4, I loved Gommorah so I'm looking forward to this movie 👍Quote:

Crazy story but good that someone has finally been brought to justice, albeit 30 odd years too late.
Finished season 2 of Condor, tad predictable but, decent enough. After a few years absence managed to finish Prison Break and Graceland too. Both very far fetched but, good individual characters. (Serinda Swan on Graceland for obvious reasons).
I enjoyed Condor but did find it strange most of the characters and spooks seemed to live within walking distance.Quote:

Just finished the first season of Dirty John, that was pretty good. Season 2 up next!
Just finished ‘Cobra Kai’ on Netflix. Really good.
I liked the first season for the nostalgia, and there were some pretty funny bits in it, but the second season was just nonsense - virtually every scenario/storyline was completely telegraphed and/or ridiculously unrealistic.Quote:

The first season is aimed squarely at those that remember the movie, beyond that you’re not missing too much.Quote:

Watched the second season of Dirty John and while it’s an interesting story it really wasn’t quite the same pace or feel of the first. Well acted and the changing fashions over the decades it covers kept the Mrs entertained but I’d not bother if I had my time over again.
Think someone maybe mentioned it on here earlier but I’m watching The Capture on iPlayer, really enjoying it, I feel like I did when watching inception, I’ve got absolutely no idea what is real and what isn’t. I’m on episode 3 and I still have no idea where it’s going.

Also watched ‘there’s something wrong with aunt Diane ‘ on Sky crime. Just a one off documentary but also good.
Bought a new ipad and apple devices at the moment come with a 12 month subscription to apple tv+.
I wouldnt have bothered normally but set it up and watched Greyhound (film). Was ok
Watching 'See' with Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis, Aquaman etc).
Its different, I'll give it that. The queen has an interesting method when praying......

Agree on that. 1&2 were great. 3 felt like they got the commission but really didn’t have any story left. Still watchable though and all in all a good recommendation from this thread yet again.Quote:

It was one of those shows where a different problem occurs in each episode that’s always solved by the end of the episode. Apparently it was quite a big budget show, but it wasn’t great tbh.Quote:

Aside from the random accents and the fact it was filmed in Lithuania and that it’s set in the present (a bit odd for a prequel!) I actually really enjoyed it. It gets mixed reviews but as a detective yarn goes I thought it was pretty good.
Have recently been watching the first two series of 'Succesion' via Now TV. Tremendously gripping and intricate plotting, great dialogue, humour and superb acting from an ensemble cast. Famous here for involving a scene where a son buys the wrong football team for his Scottish oligarch father, played by Brian Cox.
Also 'Watchmen', also on Sky Atlantic, a sequel to the graphic novel and film, brilliantly done. All the complex threads come together in the final episode. Genius, and also taught me something about black history in the Tulsa massacre where black businesses were destroyed to halt the self emancipation of black people and many lives destroyed.

Someone mentioned Gangs of London, watching it now dystopian visions but there are plenty of places get close to that and not just in London........
They're both excellent.Quote:

I started watching that too, though I didn't give up - I fell asleep! I did wonder about the accents.Quote:

Ive not watched it but my eldest did and said she was disappointed with the ending. Was she paying attention to it or was it actually a poor ending?Quote:

I know it's not everyone's cup of Tea but if you loved the Karate kids and enjoy a bit 80's Nostalgia then this is for you !! Cheesy ? 100% but thoroughly enjoyed it
Their is a reason it's to be renewed for a 3rd season :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Pure class watching Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Larusso square up 35 years later :top marks
Can't really say too much without spoiling the ending for others. If she has a search for "HTGAWM finale explained" she might get a few things explained that she might have missed (I know I did).Quote:

I kept rewinding the 1st episode to see some of Tennant's scenes again, incredible performance and what made it even scarier was that it reminded me of a couple of people I used to know (not serial killers) 😂Quote:
