We just watched episode two and jacked it in after 30 minutes, god it is slow. Not for us.eaststandmike said:Does The Serpent liven up as it goes on, just watched episode one and was under whelmed after reading the some of the comments above.0 -
Saw a post on Facebook that said ‘any good Netflix Box Set recommendations’.
Someone replied ‘The Serpent on iPlayer’ (it’s really good btw)
Are we turning into a nation of sheeple where we can’t think outside the Netflix ‘box’ as it’s the latest and coolest thing, disregarding any other broadcasters ..... much like the TV equivalent of those that only listen to Heart or Capital and think that’s the limit of music?
Anyway... The Masked Singer was good tonight!

I was showing interest in your post until you mentioned the masked singer, that show has to be up there with the very worst ever made.EastTerrace said:Saw a post on Facebook that said ‘any good Netflix Box Set recommendations’.

I never caught Uncle when it was on channel 4 years ago. Been watching it today and its excellent, some genuine belly laughs and well written. Lots of very talented people involved especially Ian Helm and Daisy Haggard but props to the actor who plays Ian Helms nephew

Not sure how native French speakers would like the accents of some of the main characters but they seemed OK to me.1 -
Tin Star for me was really good,series 1 was brilliant and series 2 good ,not seen 3 yet0

It’s because peoples viewing habits have changed. They don’t want a series where you watch one episode a week on terrestrial television. They want to be able to watch a couple of episodes a night and see the whole series over a week.EastTerrace said:Saw a post on Facebook that said ‘any good Netflix Box Set recommendations’.

Anyway... The Masked Singer was good tonight!The mainstream channels are now
realising this which is why more of their series are starting to be streamed in entirety on iplayer etc in addition to the traditional weekly episodes.1 - Sponsored links:

Very late to the show here but just discovered Ghosts. It's so gloriously daft2

4 episodes in and enjoying The Serpent. Agree that the first episode might cause some to give up as its a bit slow but it does pick up the pace. One thing to pay attention is on timeliness as it does jump around a lot!

Great show and the songs are so good.1 -
I just watched the 3rd episode tonight and felt it was the strongest one so far. The focus on a character that previously had been fairly peripheral worked really well.eaststandmike said:

Imagine the person I had invented is the bastard child of Ian Holm and Nick Helm a beardy hobbit1 -
Far too slow. Twice as long as it should have been.eaststandmike said:

I gave up with The Serpent, didn’t like it at all. Far too slow, plus the bloke was a real life monster but instead it felt like I was watching a soap character.2

Surprised a few didn't like The Serpent, I was gripped the whole way through.
Just started Caliphate, first episode was promising.4 -
Caliphate is outstanding. If you enjoy it check out No Man's Land on Starzplay.Leeds_Addick said:Surprised a few didn't like The Serpent, I was gripped the whole way through.

It's happening again.
Shooting starts in May for David Lynch's new TV series - Unrecorded Night, which will be broadcast on Netflix.
The show previously had the working title Wisteria, which has fuelled speculation that it will be a Twin Peaks spin-off. Lynch has gone on record in stating that he would like to further develop a story around the character Carrie Paige, who was Laura Palmer's doppelganger from the end of Twin Peaks season 3. Carrie was discovered by Agent Cooper living in Odessa, Texas. It so happens that Wisteria is a street in Odessa, hence the speculation.
The cast for Unrecorded Night is yet to be revealed. My guess is that Sheryl Lee, Kyle McLachlan and Laura Dern will feature.1 -
You can add Fauda to that list as well.bolloxbolder said:
