Just like the film - couldn’t get on with Catch 22.
I think the book is just too much of a masterclass to follow for me.0 -

Barely a mention, but am I the only viewer who thinks Gentleman Jack is really good, with Susanne Jones absolutely excellent?2

Yeah Killing Eve was awful.1

I thought the first series of Killing Eve was good, but the second series has just become so ridiculous and I can't follow what is going on.

The point of KEII is; do we have a 2nd serial killer or is it Villanelle with a different modus operandi? I suspect the former, and somehow they will become competitors, and Eve will become compromised in helping V.
The point of all good stories is the building blocks.
Contrast Da Vinci Code all action from 1st page but you knew nothing about main character, with the best Bond book, the Spy Who Loved Me, where virtually no thrills occurred until halfway through the book.0 -
The premise of the first series of Killing Eve was the whole cat and mouse thing. With series 2 they had more story to tell which slowed down the pace a bit imo. The final couple of episodes picked up a little.
Villanelle is so well written, a proper psychopath. Will be interesting to see where they go in series 3.0 -
bolloxbolder said:Very disappointed with the second half of series 2 of Killing Eve. Not much on mainstream TV for me atm. Might give catch 22 a go tomorrow.
On the other hand, I thought Deutschland 86 ran out of steam a bit towards the end.0 -

Just finished a Danish drama from More 4/Walter Presents called The Lawyer. Was good and worth a watch.

'Dark' season 2 is on Netflix. It's going to hard to pick up after a long break but I have high hopes for it. I like its Twin Peaks vibes.

Watched the finale of The Looming Tower last night. Really enjoyed it.
Thought the ending where the maverick FBI man John O'Neil was squeezed out, only to find himself a job as head of security in the twin towers a bit far fetched. However, having researched him on Google it transpires that it is absolutely true. John O'Neil died while helping to evacuate the South tower during the attack. Not only that, his characterisation and that of sidekick Ali Soufan are pretty accurate according to their individual Wiki pages.2 -

The woman CIA officer is a very disgusting character.

Finally finished The Looming Tower and thought it was excellent.
Shocking how 911 could have been avoided if it wasn't for CIA brinkmanship.4 -

I watched a series called 'Elite' this week on Netflix, 2nd season is out this year at some point. I recommend it, its about these new students who join a rich school and there is lots of drama, not a spoiler but at the start someone dies and then each episode they sort of piece together with things going on like affairs, lots of drama. Worth a watch imo its kind of a high school thing like 'Riverdale' but a lot more too it and probably for a wider audience.
7/10

And none of them would be better than PG.

New series of Stranger Things out today3

I thought the first series of Stranger Things was one of the biggest loads of cack ever. Have not bothered since.

Stranger Things is superb. Been buzzing for this series.1

I like thought provoking sci-fi generally, one that is based in the here and now but projects elements of society into the future (or even unravels corners of the present day).
However unless brilliantly written the 'fantasy' side of the genre seems to be a bit of a cop out. Like if the ideas run out you invent an intelligent spider with magic powers or something. This is the problem for me with stuff like Star Wars, or Pratchett amongst others.
I don't so much mind if the fantastical clashes with the human, as in the film Alien, but some sci-fi seems remarkably lazy, if you run into a plot dead end then invent a superpowered hamster and all is OK.0
