rezner Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Danny Baker's Cradle to Grave well worth a look. Part autobiographical with Peter Kay playing Danny Baker's dad. It's a cracking watch. Enjoying that and going to start 'The Kennedy's' a similar thing about Emma Kennedy's youth. 70's tastic mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The only problem with the Walking Dead is that there seems to be little direction in what they can do with it now.Game of Thrones for instance is reaching its climax, and the final two seasons will explain all of the questions which people are asking. Characters like Jon Snow, Tyrion Lanister, Daenerys Targaryn and the WW King have massive roles left to play. Not to mentioned the Boltons, Cerci's problems, Jamie Lanister's future role. While so much has already happened, there is loads pending and I genuinely feel the best is still to come.On the other hand, where can the Walking Dead go from here? They've already had IMO the best scenes in the prison and while the character development of Rick is brilliant, the rest don't have anything exciting lined up for them.The Walking Dead can only go in two directions - find a cure or each die. Needs wrapping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Finished Peaky Blinders the other day. Loved it! It's definitely got legs for a long run of series, but being a BBC job, I think they'll just stick to short bursts unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Regarding TWD - Do you read the comics? There is tons of material in there, the pacing of the show is so different.Regarding GoT - HBO could go anywhere with it from now on - GRRM is useless when it comes to actually writing his books, the latest one which has all the stuff that is supposed to be happening now (parts of last season and the next season). Yes he is consulting with HBO but they said themselves they were taking things into their own hands as of last season so no idea what will happen.

But I agree that there are no longer enough strong characters in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we just keep watching them all get picked off one by one, I'm not sure I'll be able to take that, as compelling as I may be. I know it is not likely to ever be wrapped up in a nice neat bow where they all live happily ever after, but I'd like to see some sort of satisfactory, vaguely hopeful ending sooner rather than later. But I know the comic books still haven't reached a conclusion yet, so I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how with every episode, anyone could die and left to rot. There are no happy endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 currently about halfway through season 6 of Sons of Anarchy. Probably got about 20 episodes left to watch.@Daveo told me this is the best boxset drama out there, but sadly I cannot agree. Whilst it's epically entertaining, it loses points for being so massively unrealistic. It's high-octane stuff, and lots of stories within stories, it certainly starts to go a bit batshit-crazy about halfway through season 5, and becomes quite fast through the stories. I'd still recommend though, whilst I say it's not number 1, it's certainly up there in the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still recommend though, whilst I say it's not number 1, it's certainly up there in the top 5.4 episodes left of Season 7, (watching now) got to say it's the worst of the series and a bit of a let down. Anything that comes out of America is massively unrealistic, TV, films the lot, doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Mm I wish they put some distance in the gun fights tho, when you have 3 cars trailing a group of motorcycles and they can't hit one is a bit **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 4 episodes left of Season 7, (watching now) got to say it's the worst of the series and a bit of a let down.

Mm I wish they put some distance in the gun fights tho, when you have 3 cars trailing a group of motorcycles and they can't hit one is a bit ****just watched the 1st of S7. The shootout stuff is what I find unrealistic. One minute they're crackshots who can shoot someone purposely in the throat from 20 feet without looking, the next they can't hit a car with a machine gun.

Sith Happens Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Been watching 'Forever' on a sky box set - really enjoying it, but looks like its been cancelled after just one series in the US. Its a bit 'highlander' meets 'quincy' about an immortal ME who helps the police solve crimes (usually murders). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
