Yeah it was superb. The ending seems kinda predictable in hindsight but wasn’t at the time, had me gripped throughout. Sets things up nicely!Quote:

Anyone been watching Escape at Dannemora?
It's extremely compelling and what a performance from Patricia Arquette.
It's advertised as having 7 episodes so we stayed up late last night to watch 5, 6 and 7 only to find that episode 7 is in 2 parts! :grr:
It actually makes sense now that I think about it, but I wish they'd made that clear.
Recommended viewing, however.
Watched it a while ago really enjoyed it thought it was a great story well acted outQuote:

My understanding is that Scorsese talked Joe Pesci out of retirement and that he has him playing a character who is very understated, which is a complete contrast to so many of his roles. I love when actors get the chance to play against their usual type.
Has anyone been watching Giri/Haji?
I've just seen the first episode on catch up. It's an intriguing story and the Japanese styling is enjoyable on the eye.
All episodes are available so I'll be binging through the week.
Enjoyed the 1st ep too, just going to watch it weekly.Quote:

Is that Madeleine McCann documentary series on Netflix an interesting watch or not?
Can I clarify - what exactly is the first series?Quote:

If you don’t understand the London slang jargon, I’d recommend putting the subtitles on. Other than that, it’s absolutely fantastic!Quote:

It was interesting to see that Loyalist Rally featuring a very young Sammy Wilson, then seeing him several decades later in the House of Commons being a prominent Unionist speaker as Brexit looms, as well as Martin McGuinness playing about with guns.
It seemed to be a pretty balanced account to me too, which must be difficult on such an emotive subject, especially considering how everyone thinks that the BBC is against them when it comes to Brexit.
Yes it was very balanced.Quote:

Peter Taylor : My journey through the troubles is also a compelling watch. It's also on the I player.
Is anyone else watching The Dublin Murders? I’m really enjoying it. Only downside is I’m caught up and there’s still four episodes to go which are on weekly, for some reason I thought the whole series was available straight away.
Aye, it's been good. I liked Sarah Greene on Ransom, never actually realised she was Irish until I started watching this.Quote:

The world at war is usually the benchmark for them, World War 2 in colour is on netflix and a good watchQuote:

I think it was a bit of a landmark production at the time.
I've got the box set on DVD. There's a German equivalent that usually gets a 24hr showing on TV here around Christmas that is also excellent. I'll try and find it in English.Quote:
