There was a film of the same name released a good few years ago (1990) that you will probably enjoy, that's why the tv series caught my attention.Quote:

In all honesty I can't remember much about it but, it won't spoil the tv series as the film is based on the book and the tv series is now way past the ending of the book.Quote:

War of the Worlds.
Not the terrible BBC version but the series shown on Sky(Fox I think)
S2 has appeared but now on Disney not quite as good as the first season but still a decent watch.
Aye I enjoyed that, just acquired a firestick so will get s2 watched.Quote:

Clarkson's farm .brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Probably the best thing I’ve watched this year. I thought it would his usual fannying about, but it was much more than that.Quote:

Has anyone watched the Chernobyl program on Netflix? I think it’s a Russian show so will probably be dubbed.
Whatever you think about Clarkson (I think he's a ****), he does make subjects that I have no interest in worth watching. I have no interest in cars or farming but do enjoy Top Gear and his farm programme.Quote:

Just finished it tonight, they must've had more episodes in the pipeline at some point.Quote:

Katla, gets weirder by the episode but as an amateur photographer I really appreciate the colours used in the filming.
I've watched the first 3 episodes on the firestick (very good tv so far) shame it ever had to be made though. If it is the version that was on Sky Atlantic you are referring to there is minimal use of subtitles.Quote:

Seems decent so far.
Just finished it, great piece of tv.Quote:

We are gonna get another season of Manifest for those that were left wondering about the ending
Just watched the first episode of "Hustle". It's from 2004 but I've never heard of it. First episode was OK but I'm struggling to see how they managed to make 48 episodes. Has anyone watched it and is it worth continuing?
I enjoyed it, was a bit samey though towards the end.Quote:

She’s a strong character, kind of battling against claustrophobia and traumatic memory, so I don’t really have a problem with that. I’m still not sure if I like it or not, I’m just watching it to find out WTF went on in the bonkers opening scene. (And because the rest of the family like it more than me).Quote:

Car crash must have flew into the water with how far it was to the water when they waded out.
Copper phoning the police and arriving in about 5 seconds.
The list goes on:-)
Another annoying one is they couldn’t identify a tanker coming towards them.
I liked how the huge sub was sinking at about 100mph but came to a complete stop instantly as soon as somebody found some spare AA batteries.
How did she fit all that testing equipment inside that bag? Would you be allowed to use some of those chemicals in such an enclosed space? Surely receiving a message gives your position away just as much as sending one? Surely sending a message about the trawler is more important than sending one about a crew member dying? If you are messaging about the dead crew member, why not mention the trawler in the same message? Or is it a Nokia 3310 they are using where you are restricted by the number of characters in a message?
Should all the posts about Vigil not be in the pet peeves thread? 🤔😉
Anybody else watching Annika on Alibi? The main character (Nicola Walker) talking directly into the camera to the viewer takes a bit of getting used to, quite good though.
For some reason this really put me off so binned it after 15 minutesQuote:

I would tend to agree with that, held my interest but, that was about it.Quote:

So many parts are just daft…the near miss with a tanker that somehow the sonar didn’t pick up, the XO’s ludicrously guilty behaviour, the suggestion crew members just hang out in the missile bays when bored, the amount of stuff just lying about the submarine, the ‘will we cause a meltdown or not but heck we’ll just fire the reactor back up anyway’ etc.
The list goes on and on.
Propaganda to push for an updated Trident programme.Quote:

Clickbait on Netflix was superb
I have 2 episodes left to watch (after the match tonight).Quote:

They were produced by TF1, the French equivalent of ITV so I was able to watch them on Council TV in the days before Netflix, etc. From what I remember they were pretty good with quite a strong cast.Quote:

Just finished series 4 of Gomorra and the film L’immortale- superb tv. Last series due this year.
Gomorrah is actually faultless TV. I’m quite in the mood for watching it for a 3rd time now I think about it :aok:Quote:

There were certainly some moving moments in the programme.Quote:

Good so far!
I enjoyed Billions and hopefully the final 5 episodes of series 5 will be aired soon. Season six has been commissioned but as with everything been delays due to COVID.Quote:

My wife chose them both and credit where it’s due, they’re both fairly decent.
Only Murders In The Building is on Disney+ rather than Netflix.Quote:

Help on Channel 4 catch up. Jodi Comer and Stephen Graham both play brilliant parts in a story just before and after the Pandemic began and how it affected their Care Home. Vey powerful drama.
I've got that Tivo'd, I've got the feeling it'll be a difficult watch.Quote:

If you didn't then the original series are easily available online. Watch them instead.
Aye that's probably fair. I got that wrapped up in the story I never really thought about it.Quote:

Finished it yesterday, tremendous viewing, not unlike The Terror but, a great watch. I've really liked Jack O'Connell since he was on Skins, stole the show there and here and on 71 too. Pete Mullen was his usual brilliant self on The North Water too.Quote:
