Did it improve?

I might start this soon but what you wrote has put me off.

I hate time jumps and it seems like they spend more time in the past than the surviving in the wilderness which why I was going to watch It.

Anyone else seen Yellowjackets?

Not really. Scrapes a 7/10 for me, just about did enough to keep me interested. Will give season 2 a go though.

IMO there are a lot of series well worthy of a second or even a third watch given time.
I find that I often pick up on nuances that I missed first time around.
While most folk generally like to believe that when they see something they miss nowt, the fact is that we’re not great at absorbing detail, it’s part of the human condition and that’s why eye witnesses are so bloody useless.

Saving lives In Leeds:

New series filmed by BBC in collaberation with the open University and filmed on location at Leeds teaching hospitals. There's been four episodes already outed every Wednesday at 21:00 and believe another seven are sheduled to follow. You can access the four that have already been filmed by hiting record and then searching for them on the Sky.

Last night we watched a few episodes of which the first below is shown in it's entirety, concerning the rebuild of a gent who lost both his arms and legs in an electric pylon accident. A man that in essence should not be here with us today but fought on stoichly, overcoming insurmountable odds to rebuild a life for himself and his two dear daughters.

At Leeds General Infirmary, Professor Kay now stands ready to perform this rare double arm transplant, whilst down the corridoor in in neurosurgery kenan deniz has two patients that need some urgent brain surgery. The empathy dedication and care shown by these proffesionals, plying their craft in the guise of human decency is there for all to see, and we were in total awe of their skillset!



The remainder of the episodes were equally as good so we binged them into the early morning light. The surgeon that robotically operating on the little girl took our breath away. Basically, he sat separate from the patient in a robot, controlling it with high precision through the delicate procedure. I understand this type of tech exists in surgery, such as the da vinci bot in prostectomy, but to see it used in this way was very surreal.

I remember watching a horror film back the sixties where a chap lost his arms and had two more attached from an unscrupulous back street body part dealer.

All was well until he embalked on a mad murdering spree. He was eventually arrested when his hands tried to strangle himself to death : /

He'd sadly been given the hands of a serial killer, hope this isn't the case with Jamie, the lad from Leed's hospital.

Brilliant !
 
Just finished Defending Jacob on appletv starring Captain America. Courtroom/family drama. Thought it was meh. Stuck through it but was kinda half out around episode 3/4.
 
I remember a few years ago when the classiccwar of the world was kept victorian but adapted for the modern age and was absolutely shite.

no one obviously learnt from that as it seems Great Expectations has had the same treatment, you don't need to say fuck a few times to make Dickens edgey

Its an unnecessary remake,but its clear why it has been.
 
Finally got round to watching ‘Narcos’, wasn’t 100 % stuck on it at first (say 2 episodes in) but it just got better and better, and better and better, absolutely superb.
Loved it so much I went on to ‘Narcos Hehiho’, which was every bit as good, both some of the best tv I’ve seen in a good while.

Few episodes into ‘El Chapo’ which I’m assuming isn’t connected to the above two with regards the production team etc, as I’m not loving it atm tbh, too many dodgy wigs and actors, just feels a bit cheap and off, but I’ll persevere.
