1883, 1923, Yellowstone are all a 10/10 for me.

Also if anyone has Kodi or a VPN you can watch a documentary on Paramount. Canada called 11 minutes. It tells the story from the scene of the mass shooting in las Vegas and the Mandalay hotel in 2017. It's absolutely harrowing as most of the people there were recording the concert on their phones so the whole shooting is recorded and also bodycams of the police officers who were called to the scene. Some suffered gunshots as it was being recorded. It's as real as real can get like you are there with them. I actually cried at some of it

Not really given it started at 10pm

(as i stated a couple of pages back)

Quite right. Must have misread the schedule.

Nearly missed it myself but switched to Ch5+1.

Apologies to anyone who didn’t get to see it.

Thought the first episode was quite good but required some suspension of disbelief. Stallone very impressive, though.

Slow Horses is excellent.

Im going to try and adopt Lamb’s leadership style at work

I know what you mean.
I studied history and the Flintstones drives me mad - dinosaurs and mankind at the same time (wtf!) they were many millions of years apart.

Makes me shake my fist at the sky!

And there’s nowhere, not even in the credits, where they explicitly point out that it’s not a documentary.

I can’t even watch top cat (I’ve known cats and they don’t talk) ;-)


PS. Joking aside, I nearly went offshore myself, many years ago. Did the survival training at the RGIT (great fun) but the accommodation rig was held up, due to a strike at Camel Lairds, so they put me on standby money for 8 weeks. I’d not jacked my old job so I got paid twice every week for a while and by the time they’d sorted it out I’d moved on again and got a job with better pay on dry land.

You should have shaken your fist at a cloud mate never mind the sky, that's what I did and immediately felt better,I even got my photo and my story in the local paper

Finished Willow last night.

As somebody noted earlier, Warwick Davis' acting is an issue - he wasn't bad all the time, just wooden about 50% of the time and he did improve as the series progressed. Sadly, this is far from the biggest issue with the series.

Most of the cast speak American teenager, like, and the light comedy tone throughout just got on my nerves by the end of things.

But the biggest issue is the musical cues - somebody at Disney should be sacked for that: A decent cover of "Enter Sandman" was just about OK, somebody ruined "Black Hole Sun" and who thought it was a great idea to end one episode with "Good Vibrations"? Great song but WHY? The biggest crime was "Money For Nothing" at the end of the last episode. What on earth does a song about "Installing microwave ovens" and playing "the guitar on the MTV" have to do with a fantasy series? That's before we start on some of the more questionable lyrics.

It's a shame because I thought it started well, and the locations and the visuals were great throughout.

You are really selling it mate.

Might bump it down the list.

Finished 1899 last night. Slow burner but enough to keep you interested. Still dont really have a clue what happened or what anything means but it was a solid enough watch. Similar to Westworld I guess

You might enjoy it for the visuals, otherwise I'd give it a miss.

Those that have seen Kaleidoscope, SHOULD White definitely be left till last?

I watched in chronological order so far. First 5 all worked well. Got to Red, which jumps after the heist and none of it made any sense, I'm all over the place. Now really tempted to just keep going in chronological order, white red pink for the last 3.

Yes they say you can watch in any order but white has to be last

This was going to be my next series to watch. Interesting how people seem to think that white should be last yet as you say, it could potentially be confusing.

Maybe a bit more digging around reviews is in order.

EDIT - Stephen King suggests chronological - good enough for me.

I'm watching as they come (the wife didn't like it) and White is last on the website.

I've enjoyed chronological, so far. Looks like I might be the guinea pig whether it can be done truly chronological all the way through or whether last 3 need to upset that.

Just thought I’d mention this new show 1st episode was very good.

WILL TRENT


Special Agent Will Trent was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta's overwhelmed foster care system. Determined to make sure no one feels as he did, he now has the highest clearance rate.

Onto the second season of Yellowstone. Glad I continued to watch. Thought it was abit too American and veering into unbelievable territory but seems to be heading in an interesting direction. Enough to keep me watching.
