Mrs was watching the first series of Mr. Mercedes while I watched the rags on the tablet so I was watching the series 90% of the time. Struggled to like the lead characters. With Dexter and Breaking Bad even though they were wrong uns I loved them.

Strongly recommend the book. I'm watching and up to Episode5. I don't know if it's covered in the TV series but one of Jean's boys ended up in the Northern Ireland Care Home System. I'll leave you to work out what happened to him in that system. Tragic.
 
Up to date with stranger things now. Have to say, episode 4, what's with all the CGI? I guess it has to end somehow but I'm not sure I'm invested on it like I was previously. Seems a lot of plot holes, the 80s vibe is just dumped completely, and the demogorgons just seem less terrifying. Not much emphasis on that core friendship or growing together as friends, just seems they want action at all costs and to shout s*** enough times to break the Guinness world record, and damn the logic.

I'll finish the series when it's out later this month, probably, but it doesn't feel like the same series almost.

Trying to get to grips with Letterkenny too, funny but need subs!

Did a 5 year tour over there in the late 80's with the R.A.F so was looking forward to watching this but after reading the reviews, it looks like its sympathetic to the main characters so will give it a miss.

I wouldn’t say that, it definitely would’ve pissed of Gerry Adams so that in itself is a bonus, I thought it was very good and like you having served (although never went to Ireland) I fucking hated them bastards with a passion, still pisses me off they all got pardons and now they are trying to prosecute troops from decades ago.

Saw an excellent British series called Malice on Prime. Has Jack Whitehall (or do I mean Jamie Redknapp) starring in the lead role which in itself is strange as it is a totaly seious role and early on I was expecting him to crack a joke or deliver a comedy line.... he never did either but was quite excellent (IMHO)

A nice tight storyline with some interesting plots and what I consider to be an unusual ending, about which I will say no more as i wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone. A great piece to watch over a couple/few winter days.

Enjoy... I did immensely.

My son is in it. Plays the male copper who attends the break in at the mansion/house.

I thought it was shite… a totally preposterous storyline e.g. emptying a London mansion in an evening.. total bollocks but hey, it’s only my opinion

I have never watched the X Files but have downloaded all 11 series of it together with the associated films.

Giving it a go finally.

Still love watching it.
'The X Files was on, Miss' became my answer to why I never did any homework from 1994 onwards.

Definitely not. It’s a great series and more sympathetic to the victims…. IE the disappeared. It’s an assassination of Gerry Adams’ character if anything, mainly by Dolours Price and Brendan Hughes.

It doesn't reflect the IRA in a good light in my opinion. It sympathies the IRA volunteers in regards how they were groomed and peer pressure from families. But shows how badly they were treated by Gerry Adams and lied too.
