Just seen this post, but watched The Vault this evening. Really enjoyed it and then straight into the new BBC series Vigil, which was very good too.
Vigil is written by Tom Edge who also wrote Lovesick which is a bit of a contrast - lighthearted, poignant, kind of millennials do “This Life”. And some of it was filmed in our Glasgow flat.
Very odd. Halfway through the 3rd season. Had a wobble during season 2 and not sure sticking with it was the right call
If that’s the one with the bloke with the bald head and an airplane full of dead folk,, I remember getting through about six or seven episodes before giving up.
That's the one. I fear you made the right choice.
There have been a few of these - they show promise, but they need an end. Most of them don’t. They’ll just go on until they get canceled, and those that stick with it will end up disappointed because the answer was never revealed.
Alphas, the 4400 all went that way, this and Debris will do the same.
Seems that way. Managed to binge the rest of the 3rd season yesterday just to get to the end of it. 4th season due. Not sure I'll bother to be honest. Might as well put it down to experience and leave it open ended.
Sopranos or Gomorrah next I reckon.
I can't believe you aint watched Sopranos yet!
Well, that's all changed. Currently on Season 4 Episode 13 (last of the season).
Told you I was up for a challenge 😂
I've not watched it for quite a few years now but I'm seriously thinking about starting from the beginning again in the winter. It's still probably my number 1 I'd say, a few have come close recently.

Recently rewatched it from start to finish for about the 4th time. Just as good, if not even better, every time.
Followed that up with watching all of boardwalk empire.
Caught up with series 2 of King Gary. Didn't think it was as funny as the 1st.
Suffered from a lack of winkle and nowhere near enough Simon Day.
I love Tom Davis, he gets that working class humour as he has lived the life but this series felt like it wasn't all his writing. Geoff Norcott has writing credits which surprises me as he is even more on the money than Tom Davis normally
Don't get me wrong it had some belly laughs but wasn't as good as the first series I agree

They could have done more with the annoying neighbour character. Simon Day and the cat shit could of been great if expanded a bit. The orientiring was bloody funny though.

Finished it last night. Season 6 was a bit 'meh' if you ask me. As if they ran out of a story-line and plugged it with some weird symbolism nonsense. Fortunately it picked up after the salesman weirdness but, for me, had an awful ending. Junior could have, and should have, been utilised more as a character.
Also, never watched anything and noticed so many continuity errors as I did with this.
Watched the 9/11 documentary with Bush in it. Fantastic viewing.
Hard not to feel angry at the end though. Such a pointless waste of life.
Was a fascinating insight. I used to think he looked an idiot sitting there in the class when the fella comes in to say second plane has hit, but what thoughts must have been going through his mind.

I thought Bush came out of that very well indeed. Showed himself to be a lot more of a leader than I’d remembered.

Is it the film that has Freddie Highmore in it?
Yeah.
Thanks. I liked his performance in Bates Motel. I saw the trailer for this film some time ago and it looked interesting. Didn't know it was already out. Will try to find and watch it.
Just saw the trailer for a new series "Mayor of Kingstown" yesterday and it looks like a great series. I'm a big fan of Kyle Chandler - absolutely loved him in Friday Night Lights - and also like Jeremy Renner. So the casting is fantastic. Plus its creator is Yellowstone's creator and the pilot is directed by Antoine Fuqua. Absolutely looking forward to it. Sadly though we have to wait until November!😂

I’ll watch tonight’s and then decide whether to continue with it.

Still, all in all a very good watch.

The kind of series that makes you suspicious of almost everyone at one point or another with plot twist after plot twist.
Quite enjoying it to be honest. Seems to have a weird/sinister undertone to it and plenty of little stories popping off in it all the time.
Interested to hear others' thoughts on it.
