New Tv series (REMEMBER: No Spoilers)

Just started The Terminal List on Prime and finding it a bit disappointed - the action scenes have been decent so far, but Pratt feels like he's forcing the role, it just all feels a bit wooden. They also changed the story in a couple of ways that just felt unnecessary and a bit stupid.

Reacher however was really good, which I finished just before, and looking forward to the second season which is being filmed. That said the finale was a bit ham-fisted I thought but still an enjoyable show - Ritchson was perfect for the part.

Rings of Power is going from strength to strength IMO, ep 6 was the best yet, and I've said that at nearly every episode when it's come out. 

That's my Amazon Prime round-up done haha.

Currently binging the new Daisy Mae Cooper series on iPlayer - Am I Being Unreasonable. Pretty funny, but equally dark and pretty sinster. Well worth a watch.

Thanks for the tip. Watched the first two episodes and laughed out loud at several bits. The toilet scene in particular had me creased up - puerile I know but a proper belly laugh. The actor who plays DMC’s son is brilliant. Perfect comic timing.

Latest Rings of Power was one of the best episodes of TV I've seen recently, really enjoying the series so far. 

Yeah dont understand the hate its been getting - I imagine by the time the show wraps up in Season Five, we'll be at the prologue of Fellowship of the Ring, which'll be an amazing tie in to Films to date.

I'm looking forward to seeing when Sauron appears, contrary to a lot of opinions I dont think he's appeared in the show as yet - Feel the links to one particular character are all too easy, and are a red herring.

People nowadays set out to hate a big show a lot of the time for the sake of it - I wasn't sure after the initial two episodes but once I got used to it (and wasn't internally hoping it would be like the PJ LOTR trilogy) I think it's been great since even with a few duff moments, but this episode was definitely the peak of the series so far. Felt like a mid-season finale.

I agree completely with what you said about Sauron as well. One scene I thought was very brave was the scene with A+G where they discussed Orcs and their place in the larger world, that was quite a brave line for the show to take, even if it only is from his point-of-view. 

Anyone watched Dealer? 10 short episodes filmed 'Blair witch' style by a film crew caught up in a banlieue's turf war. French subtitles but pretty good

Binged watched Chabba Cash on Netflix over the last week. Would recommend for any fans of Gomorrah and similar.

You mean Snabba Cash? Anyway another excellent scandi series. 

I did - predictive text has done me there!

Just started ‘Dahmer’ on Netflix based on several recommendations. Well made and interesting so far. Always thought he was German for some reason, probably because the name sounds it.



Easily done mate…that Jeff Himler was a right bastard n’all. 

Just finished ‘When Eagles Dare’ about Palace on Amazon Prime. I didn’t expect to enjoy it given the history & rivalry etc but found myself quite emotional when drawing the parallel between their rise to the Premier League and ours under Curbs. Can’t help feeling extremely jealous at seeing a fanatical Ownership consortium who genuinely seem likeable, honest, passionate. It feels like a lifetime ago that everything they are experiencing now was ours. Heartbreaking really.

Binged Stephen Graham's new series on ITV hub yesterday and today. The walk-in, based on a true story and loosely around the Jo Cox murder. Very good. Stephen Graham was excellent as was Andrew Ellis (Gadge in This is England).

Just in the middle of binging. First ITV programme I’ve tried to watch for ages as I can’t stand the adverts. It’s very good.

Inside Man - BBC

Total crap.
4 hours of my life I will not get back

Stephen Moffat disappearing up his own arse as usual. 

Has David Tenant done anything good before or after Doctor Who? 

He was even crap on Broadchurch  

Agree about Inside Man. Jumped the shark in the first episode.

Tennant was good as mass murderer Dennis Nilsen, a quite enjoyed Staged along with Michael Sheen.

Just caught up with the Walk-in. Very good. Thought both Stephen Graham and his screen wife Leanne Best were great although a full on scouse couple confused a bit
as I think the real life character SG is playing is a Lewisham boy.

Enjoyed Walk In. SG is excellent even managed to stick it out through all the adverts. Finished Am I being Unreasonable too. Enjoyed it although once again it got sillier as it went along. Some excellent comic timing from the whole cast.

I'm with you on Inside Man, but Tenant was excellent in Broardchurch & the series about Dennis Nilsen

7 episodes through Dahmer and it's been pretty riveting viewing so far. Evan Peters is brilliant in the lead role. Unnerving at times when you think Dahmer and people like him are actually real.

For all mankind on Apple TV is excellent
