TV Series

Just started watching This England on Sky. Fascinating alone to see how naive and unprepared we were for Covid.

Maybe shes playing Pansy

Or maybe the time bandits won't be dwarfs this time

Maybe 'Pansy'.

'Time Bandits' have to stay little people. The backlash isn't worth it.

 

[Bigga]

The lad had parents and went to a lot of places in time with the dwarfs! Wasn’t Sean Connery in it too?

It's been a while and a LOT of TV content has happened for us all!

I thought they collected people all the time, but the core was set?

It's a hazy callback to be fair!

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Finished Better Call Sual the other evening (what a glorious piece of work that was).
Bit bereft now.....done Ozark (was good fun but not quite top level stuff), Sucession and all the True Detective (the latter up there with the Wie, Mad Men, Sopranos for me).
The Leftovers was amazing too btw.

Anything really top notch doing the rounds at the moment (I'm on HOD and ROP - something more akin to those aforementioned above)?

That Jeff Dharmer thing worth watching (not sure if it will end up as the usual Netflix drama....painting by numbers or more Mindhunter quality?).

Thanks!

Been out for a while now but The Americans is fairly unheralded and is up there with The Wire and BB in my humble opinion.

Ooh....another one to keep my sanity in tact during such shit times!

I'll dig this out too. Thanks mate.

 

[Barcon]

Need something new to watch (which will be hard as I've seen almost everything that isn't brand new) after finishing Dahmer last night.
It was very good but as others has said, it should have been 6-8 episodes long
Like a lot of American stuff, it's dragged out with filler.
By the end of the series it might as well have been called he Jeffrey and Glenda show.

It’s very good.

I mentioned ‘Time Bandits’ to my girlfriend the other day and she had no idea what I was talking about, I was like “eh, you’ve never heard of it ? You’ve heard of ‘The Goonies’ haven’t you ? as I thought they’re very well known with people of a certain age, when I checked, it was actually out in 1981, so she’d have been 4 years old !
Where does time go eh !

You are blessed. Banshee different class, Justified? Fuck me I wish I could start it again having never watched it. Think they both made my top 5 in cockney marks last list.

Thanks for the inadvertent ‘heads up’ mate (re Justified), I watched ‘Banshee’ whilst decorating my new house, managed to finish it with about 4-5 episodes to go and actually sat down and watched, top of my list of programmes I really wished I’d given my full attention to from the off, superb programme and deserved that.

Television at the top of its game. My attention threshold in general is pretty erratic, I’ve got so much shit going on I find it hard in general to to concentrate on a tv series for too long. Those two? Outstanding.
