The complete meltdown from Tolkien fans about this show is hilarious. A good number not happy that a completely fictional world has black people in it apparently.LonelyNorthernAddick said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7v1hIkYH24

I'm a big fan of his work but if they make reallu great show set within the same world then I don't really care about the fecking "lore".2 -
Agree. The whole thing had really odd story telling. It jumped all over the shop and the general budget and production value felt a bit 1990s Deep Space Nine.carly burn said:Book of Bobba Fett was a bit of a disjointed effort. Good in places but overall I was disappointed.
Called it from the start that the lead actor was a shocking choice,and so it proved as Disney pretty much pulled Fett from most of the last 3 episodes and hoiked the Mandalorian in to try and save the show.

Really looking forward to this, I'm a huge LotR book & film fan (although The Hobbit movies, not so much).LonelyNorthernAddick said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7v1hIkYH24

'The Promise' .. subtitled French cops on BBC4/iPlayer ,, decent and made better by a collection of French femme fatales2

I mean its ok, watchable but i wouldn't rave about it. Its quite incredible but it does feel dragged out, you wont miss much by not seeing it. By incredible, i mean the story and the front of the guy.cafcnick1992 said:Anyone watched the Tinder Swindler? I assumed it would be a load of crap given my girlfriend picked it, but the first 45 minutes has kept my interest (then fell asleep).1 -
The usual rubbish acting from Sheridan Smith aside (have just finished her crap performance in The Teacher), the story is quite interesting. The lawyer is intentionally OTT though surely.....eaststandmike said:
"Da boy is full of..............how you say in England?"SuedeAdidas said:Watched first episode of “No Return”……the new ‘drama’ with Sheridan Smith on ITV. It is laughably bad.The local Turkish lawyer character is soooooo bad he almost saves it.
"Spunk"
"yes, that is it"
We still enjoyed it though however Smith does grate on me.1 -
I don't think anyone's problem with it is that it has black people in itAllHailTheHen said:

I'm a bit worried about the show tbh but the reaction online was pretty OTT, but same thing happens with all the big media franchises like Star Wars 0 -
The thing is from the comments I have read plenty of people do have a real problem with it in respect to this show. To them Tolkien's works never described elves/dwarves etc... as having dark skin so their argument is why are there characters in the show like it. Plenty accusing Amazon of box ticking. They also don't like them having short hair apparently.LonelyNorthernAddick said:

Odd bunch these hard-core fans but they'd probably call me a casual as I've only read the books a few times!0 - Sponsored links:

Just watched the first two episodes of Reacher on Prime . Absolutely loved them . Reacher as he should be - A massive unit5
-
Watched the second season of Alex Rider the other day
Didnt realise that Amazon had renewed, and that it had been released back in December.
Was a good bit of fun, continuing on from the First Season
Much better than the film.1 -

Gonna have to get into this.Bedsaddick said:Just watched the first two episodes of Reacher on Prime . Absolutely loved them . Reacher as he should be - A massive unitMassive fan of the books although they have had a diminishing return of late.I first started reading the books (around 2000-2001 I suppose) and the image I had of him in my head was that Reacher was like a Lawrence Dallaglio type person.0 -
You won't be disappointed. Alan Ritchson (Reacher) makes Dillaglio look like Jimmy Kranky.MrOneLung said:

Might have to get a free month trial of prime to watch Reacher - Alan Ritchson certainly looks the part for the character!0

He's also responsible for one of my favourite ever sitcoms in Peep Show.Jessie said:
I'm on episode 5 season 2 and absolutely loving it. There's a short interview of Jesse Armstrong at the end of each episode of season 2 and I was surprised to know that he is a Brit!! Considering this is set in the US, the writer/creator being British really was a big surprise.Addickhead86 said:
Love Succession, love the shitty characters, love the theme. It's also written in South London, just down the road from us in Brixton.Jessie said:I've started watching Succession this week and got totally hooked. Actually I watched the first three episodes back when it was just aired in 2019. I thought the first episode was mind-blowing but somehow didn't continue as every single character in the series was so dislikable. But this time I've realised it really is GREAT. The dialogues are so well-written. Also I'm beginning to like Kendall and Shiv. And the title theme is so good that it has become an earworm for me.
Peaky Blinders... When I finished Boardwalk Empire a couple of years ago I started to watch Peaky Blinders but simply couldn't get into it. It seemed so pretentious... I guess I'm very much in the minority regarding views on this series.4 -
Yeah, I think he worked on some of Veep, so I guess he's used to writing for US series. We saw him at the train station the other day, should have begged him for a writing gig! 😬 Enjoy the rest of the seasons, some crazy stuff coming up!Jessie said:

Gonna have to buck the trend and say I binned Reacher after two episodes. Have not read the books so maybe I am missing something but I found the corny one liners, the plot, the characters and the acting shocking.1

Have to say we are really enjoying ‘This Is Going To Hurt’. Plenty of laugh out loud moments and just generally very amusing.2

New Peaky Blinders starts Feb 27.1

Has anyone watched 1883 on HBO & can recommend it? I believe its a new US Western/Wild West tv series. Thanks

Yeah we started it last night, watched the first two episodes & are loving it. It's scary to think that's how bad the NHS is. Looks like it is filmed at St Thomas's, can anyone confirm?LargeAddick said:Have to say we are really enjoying ‘This Is Going To Hurt’.

I have been watching it and it's excellent. Well worth a watch.Charlton_Road_James said:Has anyone watched 1883 on HBO & can recommend it? I believe its a new US Western/Wild West tv series. Thanks
It's a prequel to Yellowstone, which I haven't watched.
Episode release is a bit sporadic though1 -
Nearly finished season 3 of Peaky Blinders. Does it get progressively worse/silly after season 2, as it seems?2
-
In my opinion it does, that said I was pretty bought in to the characters so still found it enjoyable based on that.Big_Bad_World said:Nearly finished season 3 of Peaky Blinders. Does it get progressively worse/silly after season 2, as it seems?2 -
Has anyone watched Goliath? Am looking for a decent box set and the story lines seems ok.1
