Just finished watching the 3 part documentary 'Death in the Pacific'. It's about the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, 1985. Worth watching imo.2

So just finished Game of Thrones. Loved it but thought the final two episodes were a bit wonky.2

6 episodes (of 9) into 1923 and have quite enjoyed it. Took me a while to realise Banner was Jerome Flynn…has he shrunk?? Seems half the man he was when he was in Soldier Soldier over here. The three main storylines are all well done. Certainly showing the brutality of the Catholic Church towards the Native Indians.0

Witness Number Three. Short series, I think first aired on Channel 5 but now on Paramount.Three people witness the abduction of a man who is subsequently murder. What follows is extreme intimidation on a Peckham housing estate.
7/100 -
Latest episode of The Last Of Us is an absolute cracker, not for the faint of heart but when it does have violence or other heavy themes it feels "earned" unlike something like (to use a previously named example) Luther* where it feels like its grim just because it can.
*in later years at least1 -
Emotional last episode of Endeavour. Think I'll revisit Morse next.
That's probably it for terrestrial TV for me. Endeavour was the last remaining show which I watched as it aired.5 -
i really enjoyed Devils ( I watched it on SBS but it has the Sky logo on it). Its high finance drama set in 2011 when it looked like the euro might tank. Some good casting, and the history of that time woven into the script. Not for everyone but definitely one of my favourites for a while.2

Just watched the first episode, seems pretty good.PragueAddick said:i really enjoyed Devils ( I watched it on SBS but it has the Sky logo on it).

Indeed. More wet tissues at Fanackapan Towers tonight.johnny73 said:Emotional last episode of Endeavour. Think I'll revisit Morse next.

Will really miss this, especially the brilliant Shaun Evans. Hope we see more of him soon.2 -
I've just rattled off 7 episodes of Last of Us. Excellent show, thanks for all the recommendations on this thread.1

Watched the first two of S3 Mandalorian last night.
R5 baby!!
Happy little Sis 😊0 -
That's what I am not getting about S3 so far, there was all the set up about bringing back the IG droid and then getting him repaired and finding a memory circuit etc... and then suddenly we just forget that and use R5 instead.KBslittlesis said:Watched the first two of S3 Mandalorian last night.

Seems less planned and more "we need to fill time and chuck in some references for the due hard fans."0 -
Last of Us finale was a non event. Pony imo. Whole series has blown hot and cold.

Agree, for every good episode there are two poor ones.Clem_Snide said:Last of Us finale was a non event. Pony imo. Whole series has blown hot and cold.0 -
Responding as a fan of the series. I think the story so far follows exactly the pattern of previous series. This is all about a bounty hunter character who was used to doing everything on his lonesome and in his own way who now has a kid Yoda species in tow and is learning, sometimes the hard way, as his story unfolds. His desire to re-engage IG-11 as a ‘trusted/reliable’ ally I thought was fair enough and hoping he could find the right parts to satisfy his objective equally fine. The fact an astromech could have fulfilled the immediate reason why Mando was hoping to use IG-11 was new news to him I think, but agree wedging in an original trilogy character rather than a new droid, was lip service. As I have said, I think it will all unfold quite nicely. Filoni doesn’t tend to do bad Star Wars (though I think Book of Boba Fett could have been a lot better), hence why I would love him to helm a trilogy or stand alone movie. He just gets it…thenewbie said:

Just watched Eps 2 and I am really enjoying this, the New Zealand police are doing a great job in tracking down the bombers.HastingsRed said:Just finished watching the 3 part documentary 'Death in the Pacific'. It's about the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, 1985. Worth watching imo.1 -
It's not bad and I do enjoy it for what it is but it just doesn't grab me like the first season did any more. He's been doing the whole "loner badass with cute sidekick" shtick for 3 whole seasons now, it's just lost some charm for me personally.Pavoren007 said:

Like I say, I'll watch it quite happily (and this season looks like it's going to properly go into the fall and fate of Mandalore which I am interested to see) but it's diminished returns atm.1 -
Anyone watched that new MH370 documentary on Netflix? What a load of tosh.1
-
I am but it contains most, if not all of the same info as the original program that was show a year or two ago, they even interviewed the same people.cafcnick1992 said:Anyone watched that new MH370 documentary on Netflix? What a load of tosh.0 - Sponsored links:

Fantastic as usual from the storyline to the filming, BBC at it’s best3 -
Currently watching Better, seen the first 3 (of 5 parts) wasn't sure about it at first but have grown into it....the chief super (Anton Lesser) in Endeavor is in it.

Yeah after that I'm not really sure what angle they were going for throughout the whole series. I enjoyed the back stories and the focus on the two main characters relationship development, but at the same time there was far too much unnecessary dialogue and filler episodes. could have been a 9/10 series but ended up a 7/10.Clem_Snide said:Last of Us finale was a non event.

If anybody likes Korean shows then I highly recommend on Netflix The Glory.
Its a tough opening watch about a woman bullied at school who later in life takes revenge. It's brilliantly played and boy it's very clever, haven't seen such a good watch in sometime.1 -
The Last of Us overall is a very clever and well produced piece of tele.3
-
Paris Police 1905 .. slow, painstaking and brilliant1
-
Just finished watching Better (5 part series) well worth watching.2
-
I did feel that all the danger from the post-apocalypse came from stories invented by the writers rather than the infected themselves. Let down the series a bit.
This is contrary to the game where you're shitting yourself everytime you walk into a building.2 -
Started watching Django last night at 21.30. Woke up on the sofa at 01.30.1

Watched the first couple of episodes of Town Called Malice on Sky. Good start. Worth watching just for the Casual Clothes from the 80s.
