Sweetpea on Sky - based on books by CJ Skuse - been watching with the missus, only one more episode to go - would give it a solid 7/10 so far.

I'm a Tolkien fan and struggled with it. Still only three episodes into series 2.If you're not a Tolkien fan you will probably won't like it! Loved season one and I'll be starting season 2 soon
So whats good?
The visuals are pretty stunning and a shit load of money has been spent
Its good to see some of the Silmarillion 'come to life' .
Whats bad?
overlapping and confused storyline
dialogue (what say you my commander of the north armies - probably consistent with Tolkien at his worst but still..)
miscasting (difficult when you have such clear ideas from the book and films)
A brave attempt but no better than 5/10

Ludwig on BBciplayer.
Wasn't taken by the first episode, think i fell asleep 1/2 way through.
Gave it another shot, so glad I did. It seems Columbo inspired (maybe that American Sherlock series even, socially inept genius solves crimes.
Think i have guessed the "Brother" riddle

Yeah I said the same earlier in the thread. It’s not high art or anything, it’s throwaway tv that’s done increasingly better throughout the series. Mitchell and whoever plays his wife are great in it.
I ended up binging it on iPlayer.
There was also a series called " The Kings" about Duran, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard and their battles in and out of the ring.Four Kings (Prime).

Not sure what channel it was on but great nostalgia and unbelievable boxing.

Thought it was OK, but not as good as I was expecting......without giving it away too much to those who haven't watched, I thought the appearance of 'someone' in the last episode was beyond obvious ;)I hope so
