It didn't shy away from the devastation their actions have but it showed both sides and all that goes with it.

I believe it may be based on the book Inside by John Hoskison who was a pro golfer who served years in jail after killing someone in the same circumstances as in the program.

It's one of the best books I've ever read and gives a fascinating insight into the prison system.

I thought it was pretty good to start with, but it gets too far fetched, especially during the 2nd load of episodes that they released.

Thanks. Vinyl is from the 1960s up to this decade. So plenty choice. The records are alphabetical and I take the final record from last week and jump 7 or 9 forward and do the same all night so it's pretty random, anything from ABBA to ZZ Top with plenty different stuff like blues, jazz, rock folk whatever comes up.

That’s part of the charm really, same as Indiana Jones or Sherlock or Tintin, Lupin is just escapism, a family friendly adventure romp for the 21st century. One of the very few things everyone in our tribe will sit down in front of.

Watching Katla on Netflix. Set in Iceland (the country) in a remote village next to an erupting volcano.

Very good. Won't give away any of the plot but reminds me of Les Revenants.

That's the impression that I got, it's not the holiday camp some like to portray, I read a book a couple of months back, think it was called a bit of a stretch that was a guys diary from his time and jail, it is the mental health that is rife in prisons that got me, you get far from an easy time of it

I watched the first and the last one for the time being and have enjoyed them.

The main character in the Bourbon thing seems like a nice bloke - too nice maybe? It strikes me a strange that things were happening at such a scale but with no nastiness, threats or violence.

It was really good. I still have this issue with the jumping backwards and forwards in time, it felt a bit like The Serpent in that respect (same director/production team?), just annoying.

Same. Just watched the first ep, moving onto the second but kind of feel I could benefit from watching the first ep again already :greengrin It's hard to pick up on subtle clues with the jumping back and forth. I will keep watching as agree about the acting and scripts.

I've finished the whole series now. I thought it was the best one so far. Some scenes a bit far fetched, but this happens with most series just for dramatic effect.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The time jumping is easier to follow this time because they've changed the appearances of the main characters.

Honestly one of my favourite ever programs. It’s only flaw is it’s on Apple TV which restricts how many people see it. As can be seen by the unbelievable amount of Emmy nominations it has, it deserves to be seen by everyone. I was delighted when Jason Sudekis won best actor for it at the golden globes.

If anyone without Apple TV hasn’t seen it, I urge you to borrow a friends details to watch it. It’s amazing.

Anyone watching Snow Piercer? Without giving much away, I found the story interesting in that the events on the train mirror many real life historical/political events. Monarchy, revolution, the strive for socialism, democracy and dictatorship. Obviously the author had this in mind as he was writing the script. Once you get over listening to Sean Bean whistling through his latest set of dentures it's half decent.

I'm assuming you've just made a wee mistake with your numbers because I'm on episode 10 of season 3, I seem to have completely forgotten about the initial reference to a lifeboat though in season 3.

When did the lifeboat first get mentioned? Completely passed me by. If I was a bit younger I'd rely on Olive to tell me. ��

It was early on in series 3. I preferred Sonvie :greengrin

I think I would have spelled out her name, just for the folk that don't realise she's a female. 😲

Feel like I need to prefix this peeve with the fact I am a woman, but what is with the sound effects with the woman’s boxing in the Olympics? Almost every fight I’ve watched had had one or the boxers going doosh doosh doosh when landing a punch. I honestly have to mute most female fights because I can’t listen to it.

I was an oofer when I boxed, I think it was caused by exhaling through my gumshield when throwing punches. Many sports use exhaled air to add power to whatever action they're carrying out, just not all of them wear gumshields.

Those of us of a certain vintage will remember the old TV series of Batman, all the sounds were essential back then.

I’m not old enough to remember that first time around but that is exactly what I think of when watching the women’s boxing.

Must say this series of Baptiste is a pile of horse manure.

Time to retire Julien.
