TV Series

Amsterdam Empire was quite enjoyable. Its in Dutch so subtitles required but a good tight series with a decent ending and engaging characters.

My mates in the first episode as an extra aswell, guy with the big curly hair smoking a joint during the news report.
 
Finished Brassic this morning.

Don't like being a sheep but have to agree with every other review I've seen and say that the final series was a bit of a let down. Maybe not quite as bad as some were saying but definitely ran out of ideas. The fact it was only six episodes and half of the main characters couldn't be arsed making themselves available to film the final episode, probably suggests that the cast were getting as bored as the viewers.

Having said that, judging it over the full 50 episode run as a whole, it was great fun.

Best thing about that was getting to see Kenny Senior on TV again. Don't know what it is about him but everything he says just has me in stitches.

Yeah, it was a great character he played in Brassic. His and Steve Evets' character played off each other brilliantly.

'Your pony's a ****' amuses me far more than it probably should.

On a sadder note, it was probably Mani's last appearance on film I imagine.
 
Just finished Netflix ‘Death by Lightening’. Probably the second best thing I’ve seen all year (after the mirror and the light -wolf hall). Wonderful performances from the cast and very tight writing. A fascinating drama about the assassination of an American President, James Garfield. 10/10.
Just finished it too. Very good. Macfayden is really showcasing his talent. A very good actor and like you say, he wasnt alone in this production.
 

Adapted from David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, this lavish seven-part miniseries chronicles the life of Founding Father John Adams, starting with the Boston Massacre of 1770 through his years as an ambassador in Europe, then his terms as vice president and president of the United States, up to his death on July 4, 1826

Superb series.
I just started watching this and agree, it's very good. Two episodes left.
