I liked the ending of Line of Duty in the sense it made it's point.

In the context of the ludicrous nature of the show and the escapism it has provided over the years? I wanted guns, bombs, daring escapes and a public flogging.

Not sure if this comment should be on here or on the Pet Peeves thread...

Reading people's comments on Line of Duty and the 'explainer' in the final episode vaguely reminded me of 'Life on Mars'/'Ashes to Ashes' (partly because Adrian Dunbar was in both) and how disappointed I was in the way they explained everything in the last episode.

The explanation, that it was all a kind of purgatory for ex police officers, sounds interesting but totally contradicted large parts of previous episodes and plotlines.

I was honestly a bit disappointed that the writer(s) decided to wrap it up like that and felt it was like 'we need a dramatic and surprising ending but we'll need to really hope the viewers haven't paid too much attention previously, or maybe are going a bit senile and can't remember the earlier stuff'.

It all seemed a bit 'Eastenders Scriptwriting' to me.

Just caught up on the last episode now.

Not sure what I was expecting but an explosive and compelling end to a series, and maybe the whole thing, it certainly was not.

Average at best.

Watched the first three episodes of Mare of Easttown and really enjoying it. It's got a bit of a Sharp Objects feel to it.

Rubbish endings to long running shows is hardly new.

Writers on lots of shows have traditionally struggled.

Watched the first two episodes last night, got promise so far, love programmes like this when you try to work out who it is, probably a lot more twist and turns to come, agree that it has the same fell as sharp objects which was really good

Did anyone watch Netflix "The I Land"? **** acting, crap dialogue and a weird storyline but somehow I got pulled in and watched the entire limited series in 2 sessions.

I watched an episode and a half then couldn't be bothered.

I watched "I Care a Lot" on Netflix last night and thought it was pretty good. Rosamund Pike is an exellent psychopath.

I watched about 25 minutes of Intergalactic on Sky.

Wow. The biggest pile of rubbish I have seen in a long time! The opening scene was bad enough but by the time it got to the takeover of the space prison I simply could not take anymore.

Binned. Immediately.

It was one of those where I couldn’t help myself but immediately start think wtf?

I mean the opening scene 120 years in the future or whatever has someone actually manually flying a plane. Then they detect the fugitive but have to land and chase them on foot...without being able to track them. Then she has to jump on said fugitive and have a fist fight to detain them.

After getting over that horror and the ridiculous office of the top boy who seems to be a bee keeper on the job we get transported to a prison ship.

Where the prisoners need to ask to go to the toilet like they are in primary school.

Then there is more awful acting before somehow we learn the prison guards are equipped with ballistic guns (on a space ship ffs!) that anyone can just grab and use (nope no biometric triggers here!).

And lo and behold the prisoners can then magically appear in the control room undetected after somehow all escaping their cells.

They then promptly fire off the guns (in a spaceship ffs! [emoji2957]) and kill everyone, including the very people staring at screens which are meant to be monitoring the prison.

Honestly I could go on but you get the idea [emoji23][emoji23]

Awful. Truly awful.

Anyone watched StartUp on Netflix. Watched the first couple of episodes last night and was very impressed. It's got a bit of a Breaking Bad/The Wire/Ozarks feeling about it. Martin Freeman surprisingly good in the bad cop role.

Third series of Motherland (all eps including the full new series on i-player). The first episode is called Nit Pandemic, there's an outbreak at the school and they school organises covid style briefings. A few comparisons made to covid restrictions without actually mentioning the pandemic. Really funny, well written by Sharon Horgan who stars in it alongside Anna Maxwell Martin. It's unusual for a series to get better, but imo the third series is the funniest so far.

Tonight once my wife and daughters went up to their beds, I took your advice and started watching it.

Right from the start there's really loud ****ging scenes every 5 minutes and now my family think I'm a raging pervert.

Which series are you watching? I thought the best one was the first series with Tom Courtenay, that was a really good cast. I'm not a big fan of Nicola Walker, she gets good parts in plenty well written drama's, but she's got the same mannerisms and acting technique in everything I've seen her in.

Just finishing the first series now, it was a random recommendation from Netflix, I’ll be honest I don’t watch many dramas these days so this is the first thing I’ve seen her in, which is maybe lucky since I can’t make that comparison between her different roles :greengrin

She was in Last Tango in Paradise, that's not a crime drama, but worth watching. I think there's several series on i-player.

Same here - I think I said it earlier on this thread. She’s always on the verge of tears - same when she was in Spooks.

It’s straight from the Anna Friel book on acting.

It's the deliberately stunted delivery of a line that gets me, like most of the thoughts she has are still developing whilst leaving her mouth. She usually starts the line with her eyes looking off to her left before returning to the person she's talking to for the finale!

Yip, the inevitable pause before she speaks, you know it's coming...I've watched her in interviews, exact same facial expressions, slightly less dramatic emphasis of pausing. Sanjeev Baskar is a far better actor, it's really obvious when you watch them in the same scene.

It's not in the same league but the plots and storyline are comparable. Without giving too much away, I thought the scene in the car with Martin Freeman where he makes a decision on what he needs to do without actually saying a word was a great piece of acting.

I just have no clue who the suspect(s) of the original crime is/could be. Or if it even matters to the overall plot; is it about the characters themselves or about the crime? (Skilfully tiptoeing around spoilers)

Good point, but with two episodes to go I expect it to play a big part still.

I have a strong instinct who it is, but that's more based on the way certain scenes have been filmed rather than any major clues in the story.

As we're avoiding spoilers, I'll look forward to coming on here and telling you I was right...even if I wasn't. :greengrin

Like i said earlier up the thread i'm really enjoying Start up but just found out it's not a new release , Series 1 was actually out in 2016 :confused: And season 2 in 2017 , Wikipedia has a 3rd season out in 2018 but on Netflix it's only showing 2 series

Weird i thought this was a total bran new tv programme to Netflix ( Tho it probably is but it's took it's time coming )

Previously released on a service called Crackle and has only been on Netflix from May 2021. Good cast by the looks of it so might give this a go. Cheers folks.

I watched it on Amazon Prime (France) - I think it appeared a few weeks ago. Now I see that it's also being added to French Netflix in a couple of weeks time.

First time I've seen a series on both at the same time.

I watched Friends the Reunion last night. Really enjoyed it. The outtakes were quite funny. Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox have ruined their faces with plastic surgery, while Lisa Kudrow looked brilliant and untouched by the mad cosmetic procedures industry. Gunther is unrecognisable now from the character he played. Mathew Perry appears to still be unwell, I suspect his anxiety is still a major issue, felt really sorry for him as he appears to have hid his health problem from the cast who were unaware of just how badly affected he was when they were filming most of the series. My fave was and still is David Schwimmer. Worth a watch for any Friends fans.

It’s been on Amazon U.K. for ages has it not?

Never seen an episode of Friends but thought I'd watch this out of interest. Then James Corden appeared and it went straight off again.

That made me laugh, I know what you mean. I've never got the appeal with him but he is a tremendous singer in the Carpool Karaoke eps.

Funnily enough I've just binge watched them too. Agree it's superb.

It's funny (or not) cos I'd seen that Start Up was available on Amazon for ages - thought it looked alright but the synopsis and photos etc weren't grabbing me. Didn't watch.

As soon as it's on Netflix I found myself watching it within a week. I just think Netflix's app/functionality is so much better. They immediately jump into the trailer, it tells you it's in the Top 10 this week etc..... Maybe just me but it works. Amazon is so clunky I find and the categories they list the shows in is pretty counter-intuitive. First world problems I know.

Anyway I've nearly finished season 1 of Start Up. It's decent for me, I like Adam Brody and Martin Freeman so that's a big tick in the box. Otherwise it's a bit of a low rent Breaking Bad. Nothing particularly original or amazing but worth a watch.

I have both Netflix and Prime and agree Netflix's UI is far superior.

If it's anything like here there's no comparison. Apart from the UI, Prime seems far less stable and gives the impression of being on a far worse connection than Netflix even though they're on the same line/box.

One thing I've noticed on Prime is the sound drops for a few seconds every now and then.

:agree:

That's it in a nutshell , Hover over anything and it jumps to a trailer right away , Also the top 10 for the week draws you in

Start up is superb , Nearly finished season 1 and got another 10 episodes of season 2 to go but when it hits season 3 and it Netflix don't show it not sure what i'l do :rolleyes:

Watch it on Amazon 🤷🏼*♂️ I think Netflix will get the rights eventually but would save you waiting.

I saw a report that suggested that Netflix might actually fund a 4th season themselves. Presumably as it’s been a big success for them. I didn’t actually read past that headline for fear of any spoilers....
