TV Series

Motherland (Netflix).

Not my usual thing at all but gave it a chance cos Anna Maxwell-Martin and Diane Morgan are both in it and I’ve liked their previous stuff.

It’s very shit but very likeable and watchable.
 
Catching up with a load of Ed Stafford docs on Discovery. He’s currently walking through a game reserve in Namibia in just a pair of shorts, the absolute mentalist.

What might the issue be? A elephant trunk up the leg of the shorts?
I always wear shorts at the African lion safari in the hopes I get an elephant trunk reach around.
 
Binged severance season 2 over the last week after saving it until it was all released. Have to say I'm disappointed in it. It's not been bad but it doesn't live up to the same standards season 1 set.

Quite simply, not a lot has happened. for how long it's been between seasons and how few episodes there is, you just have to have more going on. I'm still in on it and looking forward to a season 3 but the anticipation has definitely gone down for me. Had very similar feelings towards Silo season 2, another apple tv product.

Struggling with Series 1 & you’ve made my mind up not to bother with Series 2….

Despite my less than glowing comments, I'd still recommend it. As I said, it wasn't bad by any means, just didn't live up to the promise that season 1 showed. I really enjoyed season 1 but if you haven't enjoyed season 1 then yeah it's probably not going to be for you as it's not as good as that imo.
 
On bbc Iplayer.

Just finished watching the series about the Kinahan drug cartel, 4 episodes, the first 2 are mainly just about a local feud/murders over drugs in Dublin/UK, but it goes on to take in the world, sport (boxing - tyson fury), the US (sanctions), iran, hezbollah, south american drug cartels, and many other people/countries including the UAE, so many murders seem to be attributed to him.

A very interesting story, and despite all the evidence he still seems to living the "good life" in Dubai, despite his asstets being "frozen".

Sounds right up my alley. Is it a documentary?

Watched 3 so far, enjoyed it even though I know quite a lot about them and the Hutch family anyway. Going to read Clash of Clans next week which is the book by the female journalist who features on it.
 
I’m halfway through the third series of Gangs of London. I’m almost ashamed to say that I’m quite enjoying it.

I think the writers have now completely abandoned the idea of trying to pass it off as gritty reality. And have just turned it almost into a parody of itself.

It’s basically now just a never ending machine gun fight between everybody still alive. With a tiny bit of incomprehensible storyline between the fights. And next to no interest from the police, despite about 50% of the population of London having now being shot dead.
 
Anyone seen any of MobLand yet?

Excellent cast and looks like good old, Guy Ritchie style fun, from the adverts.
