Your Honour (Brian Cranston) second series coming Feb 3rd folks 👍

Yeah Im really enjoying that tooQuote:

Just finished ep4, it's about 100 times better than the first 3 episodes.Quote:

I think we'll see a lot more of the infected and the various baddies in the remaining episodes.
Your Honour, enjoying it so far
Been watch deep state. Been enjoying it so far
Is Mark Strong in that? If so, it is indeed good.Quote:

Angel of Death, Polish serial killer drama on All4, well worth a look.
Dunno, thought it was pretty decent myself and fitted in with the approach taken throughout. Thought the face off between the two main protagonists was very well done.Quote:

Never going to suit everyone I suppose and didn’t deliver some of the more outrageous suggested endings that were floated in the run up but I don’t think it was ever set up to do so.
Started it last week,really goodQuote:

I’m not usually affected by violence on screen, but Happy Valley has always outdone itself without being ridiculous.Quote:

I’m late to the party but having just got Apple TV for the first time I’m loving Ted Lasso so far.
The Gold
Really like Neil Forsyth's writing.
Just watched the first episode of the Chris Packham series on autism.
Pass me the tissues, that was heart rending and uplifting in equal measure.
Agree. Just finished watching it.Quote:

I had a training course booked a few weeks back to learn more about autism but was ill and missed it. I'm keen to learn more, looking forward to the 2nd episode.Quote:

Not having it before you’ll have quite wee selection to get through!
I persisted with the first season but didn’t enjoy it at all. Jason Sudekis as Ted Lasso was actually decent but found the rest of the acting terrible, pretty cringeworthy at times.Quote:

Best comedy on Apple is Acapulco I’d say, enjoyed that more than Lasso.
Last of us remains really good, slight merging of certain things from part 2 in the latest episode rather than the first game, but setting it all up well and remaining really faithful
For those discussing shows on Apple TV check out 'Shrinking' with Jason Segel. Brilliant.
Just want to mention Last of Us again, it is a brilliant piece of television, production quality, set design, acting and direction is all top class. You can tell it is made by the same folk that did Chernobyl.
It is very good. Made me happy that two actors from my favourite ever TV show Northern Exposure were in that last episode briefly, playing the husband and wife Native American characters. Leonard and Marilyn from NE.Quote:

I read this comment on Monday before I had watched the latest episode and my heart sank at the thought of Leonard and Marilyn (Marlon and Florence) getting killed, because lets face it most characters introduced end up dead by the end of the episode, I was really happy to find out they didn't die! It was great however brief to see Graham Greene and Elaine Miles back on screen together, can't believe is has been 28 years since Northern Exposure ended!!Quote:

You need the diagnosis to get the help that is needed.
Come back and let me know if you think it still stands up to 2020 viewing! Season 4 with the much maligned Mike Munro character gets a lot of criticism but there are still some gems in that season too. And Favourite episode of course (Seoul Mates for me :greengrin )Quote:

Mike Monroe, that was Anthony Edwards, Dr Greene from ER, another show I watched at the time. I look forward to getting to S4 to catch up, got 37 episodes before I get there though!Quote:

I watch it on old box set DVDs through my Xbox and as you say there’s issues with the screen size and one of the dvds definitely has a different music editor on it. By modern standards it has a very ‘analogue’ feel to everything!Quote:

Surgeons on the Edge, dont know why I put myself through it, I cant stand blood or guts or legs and ankles in positions they shouldnt be. I just look away all the time 🤣
But I watch bits of it 🫣
The new season of Succession, is to be the last. Gutted
Oh no. Gutted with that, surely enough story to go on for a whileQuote:

'All Quiet On the Western Front' on Netflix. Best film I've watched for a long time. :top marks
Yes I did watch the programme. Listening to what the lad who couldn't speak had to say was sad. But you could see his confidence grow by the end of the programme. Just shows that everyone has a voice.Quote:

Obvious echoes of Lost but it’s a worthy comparison and the casting is spot on. Hopefully season 2 can live up to the hype

I just watched it, I thought it was outstanding. Like The Line of Duty, it’s so much more than a standard cop show. Raised lots of themes around nature vs nurture and whether Ryan could be bigger than his dads legacy. Loved the ending.Quote:

I’ve just binged on the series Ted Lasso. I originally thought it might be a bit naff but I quickly got hooked on it and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the third series now.
I just watched episode 6. It was excellent again but I didn't notice part 2 merging into it.Quote:

For anyone who enjoyed Paul Whitehouse in Gone Fishing, there’s a couple of programmes starting on Sunday on bbc2 where he investigates how bad the pollution in Englands rivers is, and by all accounts it’s a shocking watch.
https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/prog...roubled-rivers
The fact they were in Jackson rather than the dam, you don't see inside Jackson in the first game so it's setting it up for the second with the town and the people in itQuote:

It was just a pile of glorious wtf from start to finish.
I thought he would waken up and find he’d had a crazy dream. I think wtf describes it perfectly. On the surface, the series worked on a very basic level as a comedy but it was more clever than that and explored serious, deep issues.Quote:

Last of Us continues to improve for me. Glad it's not the typical "million zombies attacking all the time" show and focussing more on characters. Last couple of episodes have been brilliant.
:agree: They really have. The tension builds up nicely while the characters get properly explored.Quote:

Next I need to catch up on is Mayans.

Mrs Radge and I have been watching Gracie and Frankie on Netflix. It's perfect when you're not in the mood for anything that needs effort but it's actually very funny.
It stars Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda and they're brilliant. Fonda is still stunning at whatever age she is and Tomlin delivers her lines perfectly.
It also stars Martin Sheen, but the rest of the cast, although good, don't reach the heights of the two older women.
They're 30 minute episodes too so perfect for a filler.
Started Line of Duty yesterday 😵
What channel Hutch ?Quote:

Not sure how I am going to handle the season ending on Monday.
I never watched Breaking Bad but I’ve just started Better Call Saul. I think I’m going to enjoy it.
Finished blackbird the other day really good, hard to say you enjoyed something when it’s based on true events but it was very well made

Just started my annual rewatch of Band of Brothers, it's still utter perfection :top marks
As much as I wanted to like Paul Whitehouses programme about River pollution, im afraid it just didn’t work as well without Bob and the relaxed delivery, and of course you’re staring at bits of poo floating in rivers instead of kingfishers through dappled sunlight. Not quite the same relaxed vibe! But of course, a great cause is being served by making the programme.
It is indeed. The winter forest scenes are amazing, I've never felt so much tension watching a TV program (with the exception of Whacky Races).Quote:
