TV Series

[Franny 1234]

We're enjoying A Thousand Blows it's eight episodes we're on episode 5. Another great performance from Stephen Graham with the bonus of no scouse accent.

Finished The Bondsman last night.
It's a bit shit to be honest but something to pass the time. They've left it open for another season, if it gets renewed that is.

1923 brilliant end to a very good series.
One small gripe but i will not spoil for others.
The last episode is basically a movie at just under 2 hours.

Anyone else catch the latest episode of Grace on Sunday?

It IMO was a very poor unrealistic storyline set against poor acting.

To think you'd have a football stadium full of fans with a real bomb threat being dealt with by a DCI a Sargent and a couple of other coppers is unbelievable in itself.... stuck with it but wish I hadn't.

Thought I liked John Simm but his character is (and always has been) totally unconvincing in nearly every aspect and Richie Campbells acting is a wooden as I think i've seen for quite a while.

Disappointed.

Two episodes into Mobland. Helen Mirren's attempt at an Irish accent is the worst I've heard since Burt Lancaster's in Zulu Dawn.

Just started Daredevil Born Again and really looking forward to this.

Some pretty ropey CGI in that opening episode though :)

 

[Protein Junkie]

Toxic Town on Netflix.
Harrowing story about a spate of children born with physical disabilities in Corby during the late 1990’s.
Jodie Whittaker is excellent.

Saw the first episode last night, have a strong feeling its gonna be like any other cockernee gangsta thing I've ever seen. Common sense says stop watching and leave 'Micky 2 fingers' and his facking Manor well alone.

Probably should just watch Snatch again, I know it's gonna be 10x better.

Episode 2 tonight then:-)

What's even more annoying is pierce brosnan accent and he's Irish.

Yeah finished this a few days ago.

'Disappointed' cannot explain enough how I felt about it.

It seems to me there must be more than the 'elevator pitch' to get greenlit and make good content. 'Sounds good' and be left alone to write half a poor series can't continue to be the way forward.

The imagination for writing good TV is disappearing very quickly.

Well, it is a Guy Ritchie production, I believe.

It is its why I put the snatch reference in, good cast, cliche ridden first episode though.

Yeah, I think I really hate the plastic champagne gangster writing that Ritchie gets himself involved in, making it all fun, disattached, exotic violence.

It's pretty tedious at this point.

Apparently it was quite a late decision (first day of filming) to go with the Irish accents so the leads didn't get any time to practice. Brosnan should be better though as he grew up in Ireland.

It really adds nothing to the show.

Detracts from it, actually.

Adolescence - shite.

 

[The Black Shed]

Watching Mickey Rourke's entrance into the celeb big brother studios/house was compulsive tv for 5mins or so. I can't work out if he was putting it on, whether he was shitting himself with nerves, or a private doc had fired him up with some special juice to get him moving. Staggering about like he was in the middle of a bender. Not sure that's going to raise his profile.

What a waste

Thought this weeks daredevil was the best of the entire series.

Have been watching Jack Reacher and Mob Land. Both really good. There's some great television out at the minute.

Finished Arthur C Clarke's "Childhood's End" a couple of days ago (what a fucking book that is). So decided to check out the mini-series of it that was aired on the SyFy channel in 2015 (torrents innit).

Not a bad watch at all. Differs from the book (as they always do) but does an ok job of it all on the whole. 6.9/10.

Still thinking about the book, though.
