    Apologies if it’s been mentioned but I don’t recall seeing it. 
     

    Brotherhood (Paramount +}. Follows a familiar formula. Irish family. One brother a lawyer and public servant, another brother a returning gangster trying to reestablish himself as top dog. Decent acting and well made if not quite groundbreaking. Only a few episodes in so it could get even better. Well worth a watch. 

    Started watching this a while ago when it was on Sky.  About 4 episodes in it disappeared.  Was enjoying it though

    I have to agree it was a triumph of a tribute to the 70's disaster movie genre and as such will surely win awards and accolades at the British Soap awards.  In this day and age, to make the scenes so unrealistic and frankly laughable is some acheivement.

    Ahem, not that i actually watch Emmerdale of course ?

    I urge everyone to watch tonight's Emmerdale, and perhaps watch the last couple on catch up.

    To set the scene, a localised  hurricane has hit the Yorkshire dales, and chaos ensues.

    Not least in the editing and special efforts department, where despite them employing really big fans, they obviously couldn't stretch to a rain machine, or be arsed to digitally alter the backgrounds. 

    Hence people are being blown off their feet, while the clouds above them are gently rolling by, barely disturbing the glorious blue sky in the background.

    Curiously, the immense gale doesn't seem to affect the grass in most scenes, which lies lifeless and listless, as if such action was filmed during a prolonged British heatwave, perhaps?

    The final denouement was perhaps the highlight. 

    A herd of cows break loose from their shelter, and rush, and I use the term loosely, towards two helpless protagonists.

    Normally, a farm keep cattle for milk or for meat, so they tend to look pretty similar to each other depending on the circumstances. 

    Not in soapland though, these cow's are poster boys and girls for the entire species.

    It's like the cows held a meeting, and decided a stampede was the perfect way to declare their diverse ethnicity to a wider audience.

    In the end, two fit and healthy farmlands, with a 100m start over the Bovine sprinters, for some reason don't immediately jump over the 4ft fence that's corraling them on the same journey as the evil cows, but try to outrun them, Pamplona style. 

    One ends up trampled, but uninjured, the other not only jumps the fence, which he could have done at any point previously, but also a 10m hay bale before launching himself into the great unknown.

    Where he subsequently impales himself on a tractor which for some reason had been parked with its forks 6ft in the air.
