We sacked it off after about 4. Just thought it really boring.

We managed half of the first episode.

We thought it might get better. We were wrong ;-)

Not Started watching it yet, I’m one of those watchers of tv shows that when “nothing is happening” I watch it for the dialog because they rarely make shows when a part is not for a reason!

I'm aware of that yeah, but trust me...this one isn't worth it.

I’ll get back to you with that. Notice there is 8 episodes it finishes next week so I’ll binge watch them next week..

Down Cemetery Road on Apple is excellent. Best thing I’ve seen since Dept Q.

Yeh, I enjoyed it too. Not sure how much scope there is for a Season 2, cos it was all nicely wrapped up, but I believe there was more than one book in the series, which all focus on the Zoe character (as played by Emma Thompson)

Yeah I had to google if there were more books. I think they did a miles better job of turning the book into a tv series than they did with Slow Horses. The tv series of slow horses really doesn’t do the books justice

I'm halfway through Generation Kill. Made by the same people who produced The Wire. It's based on the story of a Rolling Stone reporter being embedded with the 1st Recon Marines as they invade Iraq. Supposed to be very true to real life as confirmed by actual people that were there.

The problem with it is that they pad it all out with meaningless scenes and the series in its entirety could have been put in an hours worth of filming.

What we learned was the "Clown" lives in the drains and native Americans love graveyards.

Thought it was a rip off of Stranger Things which in turn was a rip off of Stephen King stories. I'm still with it but I agree it isn't brilliant.

Twisted Sisters on C5.

Fucking mental.

Fer-reaky

 

[willipp]

Finished Series 1 of Mr Mercedes and was decent enough. Won't be rushing to watch series 2 though as feels like it will just get a bit daft now.

Watched it last night, I am going to give Keele services a miss in future, you can't be too careful

Pluribus. One episode in and its fucking nuts. Not sure i'll get through episode 2 unless it improves.

I think he wrote some of them IIRC.

All Her Fault on Now was a good watch.

It's excellent, just like everything else that David Simon does.

He did mate. Stranger things took elements from a number of Stephen KIng novels + Speilberg films. Its amusing that now in turn, Return to Derry which of course is based on IT written by King borrows so heavily from Stranger Things.

All Her Fault on Now was a good watch.

I enjoyed that one as well, thought Task was excellent also on sky Atlantic I think .

 

[horlock_was_super]

Halfway through The Revenge Club, can’t decide what I think, plot twist at the end of the third episode so am prepared to stick with it.
