2 episodes watched last night & final 2 planned for this afternoon before the CAST Zoom & Paddy on Mastermind.Dugdaleclass said:Strike was rather good last night...another cold case story (there have been quite a few on TV recently) but intriguing nevertheless.0 -
A spy amongst friends. Afraid I lost patience with it after enduring two episodes. Very slow and wasn't gripped by the story.0

Watched first 2 episodes of Strike. Good to see Daniel Peacock in something. Been a while but boy does he look old0

Strike.
Watched 2 episodes last night and the other 2 this afternoon.
Very good, as they all have been.2 -
Not new but watched Band of Brothers again in a day and half.
Absolutely incredible and a must watch if you’ve never seen it.9 -
Joe Pickett on Prime... slow start but gripping in the end. 10 episodes and set up for a second series. ( I think it's been made but can't find it as yet).0

Patriot. Dark, funny, weird, bizarre, upbeat, sad, strange... but very watchable.Same actor as Joe Pickett.1
-
Enjoyed Strike. The book is over long with many threads, so they did a good job of changing the timeline around to give each episode it's own story, even if some bits seemed rushed.3

White Lotus is a weird one for me, its definitely got its moments and just falls to the right side of the usual style over substance shit Sky put out. I preferred this series to the first, just. I laughed out loud at the "I've got this" toward the end and found a lot of the Italian dialogue most amusing. If I'm honest I might have stuck with this one to see more of Simone Tabasco and Audrey Plaza rather than to see where the bodies came fromse9addick said:

always enjoy the Strike adaptations.. I am also a big fan of the books which are usually VERY long and complicated .. seeing what plots and dodgy characters have been left out or amended is very interestingTaxi_Lad said:Watched first 2 episodes of Strike.

Watched half of the first series and gave up, which I don't usually do. Just didn't really get what it was trying to beCarter said:

I have to say I’ve enjoyed previous series of Strike but this one left me totally bored. Gave up half way through second episode. Just couldn’t get into it.0

enjoyed it, BUT the end was very rushedSillybilly said:I have to say I’ve enjoyed previous series of Strike but this one left me totally bored. Gave up half way through second episode. Just couldn’t get into it.1 -
really enjoyed the first series .. the second ? .. pretty ordinary, in fact, not worth watching i m obolloxbolder said:Stumbled onto a really good Canadian programme on Prime called Romeo Section.
Based in Vancouver, a University professor recruits staff for Canadian MI5/6 equivalents.
Two series, 20 episodes in total. Excellent fare if you like spy programmes like Spooks.0 -
What's happened to his leg/limp now ? First series he is moaning & groaning if he had to walk more than 100 yards & even took it off (its false in case you haven't seen the series) to rest his leg. Now he is practically running everywhere & no hint of a limp.Lincsaddick said:

Then again I doubt you'd be limp if you had to act opposite Holiday Grainger. (One for the innuendo thread)1 -
without 'spoiling' ... that occurred to me as well .. aside from that, the books must be VERY hard to abridge and adapt, for me this was not a particularly good adaptation of the book .. shouldn't affect his stump though .. agree about Holiday, a real yummy yum lolgolfaddick said:

I see that a Detectorists one off is scheduled for Boxing Day.
Looking foreword to another in this lovingly crafted series.

Just caught up with the final few episodes of Stranger things, season 4. Immense. To deliver the final 3 episodes in what were essentially films given the lengths they went on for was class
I didn’t know there was going to be a 5th season so thought they were gearing up to the big ending for good, but then right at the end they throw that last scene in.
I thought the Vegna character and the linkage back to the beginning was great writing3 -
Inside No.9 Christmas Special 22nd 9pm BBC2.2

Watched Rosie Molly Gives up Everything this week, Sheridan Smith comedy. A short binge, on sky demand.
It was ok, nothing amazing but as i quite like her i enjoyed it and Its about someone who binges on drugs/alchohol and everyone tries to get her to go to AA or stop, quirky and something light to watch. Only 6 episodes so if you are looking for a short binge.0 -
Watched the first episode last night and thought it was a big stinking turd of a programme.Fanny Fanackapan said:
We binge watched it too, johnny.johnny73 said:1899 on Netflix. Created by the same team on Dark. Binged it all in two days. A mystery set about a cruise liner. Some may find it a bit slow but I enjoyed it.
Not sure why we stuck with it, especially as we gave up with Dark ages ago after the first couple of episodes.
Have to admit I used Wikipedia several times whilst watching to clarify my thoughts as to what exactly was going on...but it didn't help much.
Once the 8th episode had been viewed, I read a synopsis online which "explained" the scenario...I think !
Worth watching IMO but don't expect to be any the wiser as to what was happening throughout once it's ended.Poorly acted, not a jot of tension and no characters that intrigued.The missus read a synopsis of the rest of the series today and don’t think we will bother with another episode1 -
I finished the English.
Did they run out of budget? Should of been at least 2 more episodes. So many decent characters getting nowhere near enough airtime or development, the last episode was really rushed as well.
Shame as it had a lot of potential and Blunt is great.2 -
One of the greatest ever series.ValleyGary said:Not new but watched Band of Brothers again in a day and half.
Absolutely incredible and a must watch if you’ve never seen it.
Give The Pacific a go next. Not on the same level but still very good.1 -
Yeah I watched the pacific when it first aired. Thought the same, good but not near BoB.Croydon said:

Band of brothers was incredible, the realism, the acting and whilst some of the scenes were done a little bit with poetic licence and played fast and loose with strategy (soldiers wondering why they were being shelled whilst walking around only a rivers width away from the enemy with no thought for the tactical situation is the biggie) the bits at the start and end of the episodes with cpt Richard Winters and his fellow company members were amazing1

BBC which always seems to limit itself to 6 episodes. I agree, the last episode seemed massively rushed and had far too much going on across multiple timelines and locations. Still, a great series, beautifully shot and Blunt was perfect.ValleyGary said:I finished the English.

Agree with these comments. All a bit of a mess at the end which is a shame because the first two or three episodes were top notch. A major character was disposed of by a passing comment from his cowboys. Has to be the longest goodbye scene ever recorded...and still don't get why they had to part but hey ho.Jints said:
