I loved the first two seasons. Season 3 was a bit meh and as you said a bit difficult to follow. I’ve watched the first episode of the new season and didn’t have a scooby what was going on!Quote:

Season one with the modern music playing on the saloon piano was different class.
Doon McKichin also excellent. One of the best shows on tvQuote:

Yeah I needed a YouTube recap after first episode….still only half sure I have an idea 😂 it’s something like 7 years after season 3’s events so a lot has happened inbetween that they only sort of slide in here n there, this season certainly a bit more like the first 2 rather than the 3rdQuote:

Breeders, it's not the sort of thing I'd normally watch, but for some reason I think it's a great programme. The wee girl that plays Ava is a great wee actress.

Resident Evil on Netflix is decent so far

I've taken to watching the youtube videos after each episode. Episode 4 was up there with some of the highs of seasons 1 and 2 though. It wouldn't surprise me if some of season 4 story arcs were drafted out before season 3 and season 3 serves mainly as a set-up to allow the events of season 4 to be explained.Quote:

Episode last night involved a very raunchy scene with a certain duchess. Lovely stuff
Sarah rafferty easy on the eye too. Acting it great at times too, Louis for example is equally hilarious and infuriating
This won’t come as a surprise to anyone but Better Call Saul is outstanding imo.
Yes. Up there with the best…this season has been Incredible. It had one season which didn’t quite hit the standard, but the rest have been superbly written and acted…Quote:

Aye, suits is decent, probably could have done with being a season or two shorter though.Quote:

Watching a really intriguing series on Netflix called How to Change Your Mind. It's about the use of psychedelics in the treatment of mental health issues.
One of the best series I’ve ever seen.Quote:

Was there not talk of her having her own spin-off series? I was a little disappointed by the last episode, albeit by the incredibly high bar they set themselves. Just felt like all the story lines concluded the previous episode and we essentially ended up in the Breaking Bad world now. Still a few episodes to go though so hopefully a few more twists and turns to come and it’s not essentially just a few episodes left to drag out. Which would be unlike the show.Quote:

Wonder if Gus will have Kim killed off.Quote:

Surely the only point that’s relevant is whether the show or film is any good?
I’m pretty certain that Kim’s home state is where Gene is now based. Obviously it was a location selected by the Robert Forster character but seems unlikely to be a coincidence…..Quote:

Captain Marvel, Wanda, the one Oscar Isak played, those were all new and unique characters. Just seems a bit like they are getting lazier with their new characters. That’s before an opinion on the quality of the newer stuff which is more miss than hit IMO.Quote:

You should have a wee look at Mcgraw Ave if you like that sort of show.Quote:

Anyway, Night Sky, the Amazon Prime show, was great TV and unlike anything I've ever watched before. 8 hours of really stellar cinematography and acting but it's been pulled after 1 series. The search continues......
Really enjoying the Last Kingdom
Keep breathing on Netflix , Dinnae bother , Dug*****
I've watched the 1st show last night... really struggling with it, I'll not say its boring... but, well, actually... its bor...Quote:

I enjoyed it Hutch , It wasn't sensational tv viewing but done enough for me to persist and hopefully a second season :aok:Quote:

3 episodes, 90% of which seemed to be the main character acting like droopy the dog.
Just avoid.
Just started watching La Brea, bit of a Lost vibe to it, some pretty ropey acting though.
Saw it pop up on my Sky Box and liked the look of this.Quote:

Natural World-The Super Squirrels on BBC 2 a couple of nights ago This was a repeat but it's well worth a watch , excellent documentary on these brilliant wee things , their agility and intelligence is amazing . It'll still be available on the I-Player I'd imagine
Similar thoughts to Keep Breathing on Netflix. Spun as a survival series after a plane crash but ends up descending into a never ending montage of flashbacks as the main protagonist makes peace with her upbringing and parents….last two episodes were absolutely brutal.Quote:

I enjoyed it, especially using real events from the 1980s which I remembered.
I just finished the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix. It was really good, it was a flashback to a great era for music with some of the bad from that era summed up in one festival. I can't believe how bad they wrecked the place :hilarious
The sandman!!!!
Just watched the first episode. Oh yeah!!
Here's hoping they've actually given some thought to the ending this time! :greengrinQuote:

I just finished watching it too. I've always found it really distasteful that Limp Bizkit bore a lot of the blame for what happened at Woodstock and the documentary puts a lot of that blame where it belongs - on the organisers. A total ****show of a festival and I'm truly surprised criminal charges were never brought against the organisers for negligence and a lack of actual preparedness.Quote:

Just started watching Anatomy of a scandal on Netflix. Very good story and acting, especially Sienna Miller.
I watched the Woodstock 99 documentary and it was a car crash. The whole thing was doomed to fail from the beginning.
Firstly every attempt to recreate Woodstock has failed to live up to the original. The original was a moment in time. 99 was arguably the worst though. If the original Woodstock was a gathering of idealistic hippies promoting peace and love then 99 was a collection of the worst kind of faux hard man nu metal dickheads and rapey frat boys. The whole 'let's be really misogynistic because it's so cool and shocking' was a pretty low point for popular culture. Secondly the organisers took this collection of people playing really angry characters, loaded them full of drugs and tried to extort them. How was it ever going to end well?
It ended very well for the promoters. $150 a ticket, endless sponsorship deals in place, cheap to put together, tenuous security and all those food franchises sold. Must have made a mint.Quote:

It’s a good while back now but on the theme of the Woodstock documentary, if no one has seen Fyre on Netflix I’d urge you to watch it.
An absolute disaster of a supposed luxury festival gone completely tits up.
That was hilarious. Social media influencers absolutely rinsed.Quote:

I think there is actually 2 different documentaries about it but the most well known is on Netflix.
This is brilliant. I have tried to ration it to one a week but I have already watched the first 6. Such a great adaptation and great casting too. Netflix has to commission more of these, these 10 shows cover the first 2 volumes so lots to play with still.Quote:

Great last episode of Better Call Saul.
A re-watch of Breaking Bad is needed.
Absolutely superb final episode. Magnificent TV.Quote:

Quite gutted that the whole BB universe is being left behind albeit I know there isn't much more they could do with it. I saw a back story for Gus suggested but large parts of that have already been covered and I'm not sure it would really add much.
Watched the first couple of episodes of Red Rose on iplayer, quite enjoyable so far.
Gus mini series/film set in Chile would be good. But can’t see them doing anymore.Quote:
