TV Series

just finished "100 Years of Solitude" on Netflix. Overall I thought it was very good. The first episode was a bit of a slog because I didn't really like the main character. But then it became very colourful and interesting. I'd imagine the book is great but I doubt I'd ever get around to readining it so just glad to have gotten a flavour of it from these 8 episodes.
 
Enjoyed watching the new series of Dalgliesh on channel 5, don’t know if there’s any more episodes pencilled in for next year.

Not seen that yet, but looking forward to it. Love Billy Bob Thornton, always re watch Bad Santa in the Christmas build up and he's just incredible in that role.

I was late to the party as well.

I watched all Dexter this year. Just easy watching fun tv with good characters.
It’s all pretty daft but it doesn’t take itself serious.

People slate the later series but by then you like all the characters so I enjoyed it all to the end.

Dexter and Justified are the best things I’ve watched this year. Both solid 8/10s.

The 10 part revamp series in 2021 though was really toss though.

Then you will love 'Dexter' coming back as a TV show with Michael C. Hall, then...

 
Squid game season 2 starts boxing day, I predict it will be absolutely shit. Show writer supposedly had no plans for a season 2 originally, It's here purely because it was too big not to have a follow up so I fully expect it to be really crap with perhaps a couple of interesting new games at best.

Yes it's been very good so far, just finished e7. Loving Billy Bob's character, his ex wife though, so annoying.

Just finished showtrial. Like others said it was OK until the final episode which was shite. Quite lame in the end.

I'm also missing watching Mirror and the Light. Won't watch it since they introduced race politics into it but my god I'm missing something good there. I'm reading the book instead.

Going to watch a few films next, we're (me and mrs) both a little bored of TV series at the moment, they're all a bit samey... so films, Timestalker, Conclave, then Heretic. Off to the film thread.

Race politics? WTF?

Yeah it was just a little thing, changing the colour of peoples skin, rewriting a cultural history. Its wrong, for me anyway. Changing african, chinese, anyones history, replacing historical african figures with white people is totally wrong. Equality is the way forward for me.

Nevermind though I missed out on a good series so my loss.

Just finished day of the jackal. Enjoyed it. Usually Find Eddie Redmayne pretty annoying but he was ok. He has a really weird voice.

It was rubbish and The Jackal was a bit thick, it really pissed me off.

He knows he’s the world’s best marksman and will be identified as the shooter when it’s over a certain distance. At the same time he’s trying to keep his family safe so what does he do? That’s right, makes a shot that only he can make in his home town. What a dickhead. This after promising his partner that their home can’t be identified as he’s always been careful.

The first series should have been setting his story up and about a single hit and the planning around it, keeping his secret identity and double life intact a bit longer.
