I have been watching 'Once Upon a Time in Iraq' on iPlayer .. just the thing if you want REAL life horror and terror stories5

I reckon that Haunting of Bly Manor is the worst thing I've watched all year. The repetition in the script is almost laughable, can't believe someone gotten away with the writing the same words 1000 times in an hour long episode.
Absolute pet peeve of mine to have American actors doing English accents too.0 -
We managed to find a download of episode 1. Wasn't very good and won't bother looking for any more episodesPragueAddick said: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.0 -
Finished Power
Omari Hardwick is a good actor, honourable mentions to Joseph Sikora who was pretty clearly having the time of his life playing Tommy. A cheerful psychopathic demeanor
I liked it but they copped out a bit by stringing the ending out as long as they did. It did give a lot of closure though
I'd say stick with it if anyone has just started it
Currently half way through Utopia on amazon prime, first episode was a blinder, really hooked us in then I realised I'd seen it before on channel 4, a British version and I wasn't overly keen on that apart from Neil Maskell being a nasty bastard in it, the program washed over me
Also watching High Fidelety on starz whilst I have the free trial. Its a good twist on the excellent film from 20 (twenty!!) Years ago. Zoe Kravitz plays John Cusacks character Rob and does a really good job. Location has shifted from the UK in the book to Chicago to a very woke New York, this series alone will probably squeeze a few quid out of me to see the rest before I give Disney some money to watch the mandalorian when it comes back

Not sure if its been mentioned on here before, but was looking for something to watch the other day and found The Alienist, really enjoying it almost finished series 1 and then got series 2 to watch.
I will say if you dont like certain subjects this is probably not for you, as series one hits pretty hard on underage boys dressing up as girls and prostituting themselves.

I suggested the Alienist a couple pages back as the second series has just been released. It’s great.paulie8290 said:Not sure if its been mentioned on here before, but was looking for something to watch the other day and found The Alienist, really enjoying it almost finished series 1 and then got series 2 to watch.

iPlayer .. 'Reggie (Yates) in China' .. interesting .. the problem with China documentaries as I see it is that they tend to concentrate on the big cities and ignore the more far flung regions. In this series, Yates spends time working with 'ordinary' Chinese and investigates their struggles in what is a very structured 'communist' society which appears more capitalist and hard bitten than any in the west .. a good watch i m o0

The Queen's Gambit on Netflix - very impressed by the first episode. Helps that the book is a favourite of mine but they've done it really well.1

Disappointed by episode 2 of Roadkill. Some really ropey script there. You always know story's in trouble when events have to be changed by car crashes. Last night there were two different ones, involving two different characters. Some great characters and actors portraying them, are going to waste here.
Actually you always know when the BBC has realised its not top drawer, they stick it all on I-Player straight away, as they've done with this one.1 -
We enjoyed the 1st series and binge watched the 2nd over the weekend.ValleyGary said:

I've tried to watch 'What we do in the shadows' because so many of my mates think it's hilarious. But no matter how many times I try (four times now) I haven't laughed once. Not even a chuckle. It doesn't help that I think Matt Berry's about as funny as scraping the bottom of a pan of burnt baked beans - but I genuinely can't see what the fuss is about. Was the same for The Mighty Boosh years ago - I thought that was bollocks as well.0

Watching life of mars. Pretty good0

Watching The Americans. Very enjoyable.3

Good call. I miss this series, great cast, well acted, good storylines - bit far fetched, yeah, but a lot of good tv is.johnny73 said:Watching The Americans. Very enjoyable.
Never really understood why is was tucked away in the schedules.0 -
I’m with you on this for What we do in the shadows and Matt Berry and I didn’t rate Boosh when it aired, but it does make me chuckle now if I catch it on demand.Leroy Ambrose said:I've tried to watch 'What we do in the shadows' because so many of my mates think it's hilarious.

I wonder if as we age our brains become less discerning? It’s the only explanation I can come up with for Mrs Brown, well that and stupid people.....0 -
Just to be sure, there is a film and a tv series of this - Are you sure your mates aren't talking about the film? Its got a completely different cast for one and is written + directed by Taika Waikiti (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Jojo Rabbit, Thor:Ragnarok etc) and the tv show is a spinoff of it - the film is genuinely good imo, but I haven't watched the TV show. The film is on Prime at the minute, it was on Iplayer before also not sure if it's still thereLeroy Ambrose said:I've tried to watch 'What we do in the shadows' because so many of my mates think it's hilarious.

Never understood Boosh either, although I like Noel Fielding0 -
Was a big fan but didn't quite make it to the end, wish I had though as I see season 6 got great reviewsjohnny73 said:Watching The Americans. Very enjoyable.0 -
The Undoing - on SKY looks promising but don't watch if you are offended by the sight on a hot full frontal nude woman with great tits strolling around a gym changing room.
also Billions is back - best acting on TV.2 -
Thank you for the warning. I just wish the Radio Times would be that specific.Broadstairs_Red said:The Undoing - on SKY looks promising but don't watch if you are offended by the sight on a hot full frontal nude woman with great tits strolling around a gym changing room.

Both the film and the series are great, though I prefer the series (was on iplayer last time I looked)LonelyNorthernAddick said:

Both. Tried the series first cos that's what mates were raving about. Even though Kayvan Novak usually makes me laugh, I just didn't even giggle. Three goes at watching that, different episode each time... Just... Nothing.LonelyNorthernAddick said:

I tried the film after a couple of the episodes and again, it just left me, sort of... 'smiling but not laughing' of that makes sense? Got about halfway through before getting distracted by something and just never went back to it.
Only reason I mention it is that it really should be the sort of thing that makes me laugh. Maybe my sense of humour is changing as I get older? Oh God, I'll be laughing at Michael McIntyre next. Shoot me.1 -
Blimey, my missus is watching "Life" but she is staying at home to do it.cafcsinger said:Watching life of mars. Pretty good0 -

Really enjoyed the first episode of the Undoing.
I agree with others on The Sister, appallingly terrible.0 -
