Mr Robot started off well....but tailed of badly IMO.2

First series of Mr Robot is excellent, Second season was good, then kind of lost its way for me.Rufus is a dogs name said:Having re-watched some old favourites during lockdown (Mad Men, The Wire), I'm forcing myself to start watching something new this week on Amazon Prime...
Torn between Black Sails and Mr Robot. Heard good things about both but wondered if anyone had seen them and would recommend (or not)?
The Boys is good on Prime too, 2 seasons now. Kind of a dark comedy twist on the Superhero genre3 -
I said as much on the Netflix thread. I'm on episode 5 and there's not one fright for me yet. And, as I also said, the little girl does the voice of Peppa Pig, so every time she's on screen, I just hear Peppa Pig, which doesn't really make for a creepy atmosphere.ValleyGary said:
I started it and it’s not bad but hardly original. Old Manor House, American au pair, 2 weird kids etc. Feel like all these horror things are the same.Croydon said:
This any good? Enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House, but the trailer for this one didn't grab meshine166 said:The haunting of Bly Manor0 -
Have you seen the film The Lodge? It's the only recent horror I've seen that tries to do something different, but still keep it within the realms of plausibility.ValleyGary said:

Thanks for all the Cobra Kai recommendations - smashed both series in a couple of weeks.johnnybev1987 said:Finished Cobra Kai, really recommend it mainly for people who enjoyed the orginal Karate kids, i enjoyed it alot was a bit gutting when the 2nd series ended. Quite an easy watch too only took a couple weeks to finish.Really enjoyed it and will go back and re-watch the original film at some point, don’t think I’ve seen any of the sequels, are they worth it?1 -
I watched Karate Kid 2 donkeys years ago, wasn't terrible from what I remember. Can't even recall what the 3rd was about although I'm fairly sure I watched itse9addick said:

I haven’t but will check it out. I’m not a huge horror fan but could be swayed with a bit of originality.Croydon said:

PWR, Vikings is superb on Amazon Prime. Still 10 episodes left to make, I believe, but plenty to get stuck in to.4

you'll be pleased to hear .. she has her own series starting soon on BBC ((:>) Il put you down as a NOOOOOOOOValleyGary said:Being subjected to watch the Graham Norton Show and I have no idea who Sarah Pascoe is but I’d rather go through tortureal castration than ever watch her on tv again. Fuck me, just wow.1 - Sponsored links:

just finished the haunting of Bly Manor. Really enjoyed it, certainly not an out and out horror but thought it was well done
The girl's only been doing Peppa Pig since January so I've not seen any of her episodes0 -
Finished it last night too, thought it was decent although not particularly scary. Probably could have been a tad shorter, and I think it would have benefited from a slightly different structure. Seen it getting a fair bit of stick online which I thought was unfair.rina said:just finished the haunting of Bly Manor.

Really liked Roadkill on BBC1 last night. Political thriller directed by Michael Keillor of "Line of Duty". Excellent cast headed up by Hugh Laurie as the slippery politico and Helen McCrory as the PM - really enjoyed her portrayal. The casting that intrigued me was of his mistress, it's Sidse Babett Knudsen, the Danish actor who played the Danish PM in Borgen). Her English is flawless, so far she is not portraying herself as foreign. But that's a geeky thing. Very much looking forward to more, only 4 episodes unfortunately.1

Don't watch a huge amount of series on TV, more just flick through rubbish and repeats (when I'm not watching Sport)
however, we've just started watching 'This Is Us' on Amazon (I didn't even know we had it)....brilliant drama/comedy if anyone is looking for something to watch1 -
Saw Roadkill...top notch cast and clever make up on HL giving him the rather slept in pallor of a certain politician who had his own talk show. He is very watchable. However, rather redundant plot given the goings on of some of our current crop of leaders and lazy writing around how a newspaper works and lawyers actually function. Hope there are some bigger skeletons in the Minister's cupboard in future episodes.0

I really like this too. The only flaw is the incidental music which feels very manipulative and old fashioned. But great writing/plotting and very solid acting.Elthamaddick said:Don't watch a huge amount of series on TV, more just flick through rubbish and repeats (when I'm not watching Sport)

Liked roadkill.
Had a touch of the House of cards about it.0 -
I agree it was watchable but too many inside plots. Would both his driver AND his aide be plotting against him. Bit tooooo far fetched imo.carly burn said:Liked roadkill.

Thanks for the heads up. I hate it when a plot surprises me.golfaddick said:

Anyone watched Alex Rider on Prime? About a 15 year old recruited to MI5. Quite entertaining.
Roadkill off to a good start.2 -
No, read the books as a young lad though and they were quite good. Think they did a film of the first book a few years ago and it was dreadful!bolloxbolder said:Anyone watched Alex Rider on Prime? About a 15 year old recruited to MI5. Quite entertaining.

Cheers for mentioning I'll give it a look...bolloxbolder said:Anyone watched Alex Rider on Prime? About a 15 year old recruited to MI5. Quite entertaining.

Never read the books but watched the film which was dreadful but you could see what they were trying0 -
The wanky last couple of series.cafcpolo said:New one off series of Dexter has been announced. Will right the wrongs of the wanky finale all those years ago.
I'm not that confident.

Is anyone watching Spitting Image? Not even mentioned, unless I missed it, presumably because it's on the ridiculous Britbox. I see the occasional clip they put up on Twitter. The Jurgen Klopp one was quite good.1
-
Like you say Prague. Britbox means it is a no from me.1

I'd love to tune in, think its the kinda show the worlds been crying out for for years. But on Britbox I doubt anyone will bother sadlyPragueAddick said:Is anyone watching Spitting Image?

Seeing as Peter Laurence is such a loathsome article it's quite likely he'd have numerous people out to get him, those closest to him the most probable.golfaddick said:

Is it just me or is Peter Laurence a taller fitter embodiment of the politician Nigel FourthReich dreams of being?

would love to watch it, cannot understand why it's not on ITV after the news, they've literally never had so much material to work with.....not paying £5.99 a month to watch it though!.PragueAddick said:Is anyone watching Spitting Image?

Thats what I can't understand. It was heavily advertised a month or so ago & I had been expecting to see it on Sunday nights as per the 80's & 90's. Gobsmacked when I found it was on Britbox only.Elthamaddick said:

Terrestrial tv is dying out. You only have to read on here the amount of shows people are watching on Netflix. Probably 90% of shows discussed on here are via that medium. I am one if the dying breed that never watches Netflix.1
