PodgeyRam Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The trailer for the new series of Game of Thrones is out. Definitely a more cinematic feel to it than previous seasons - cutting those extra 3 episodes a season really pushed up the production budget!

Rev Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Not a drama, but Catastrophe is fantastic, if sometimes uncomfortable viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to sit and chat with her about it. She likes things like greys anatomy. The only thing we really watch together is Elementary (although we've now got a whole series of that to watch on box). We watched season 1 episode 1 last night. I'm really looking forward to rewatching it all. But she's not convinced after that episode. So how do I sell it to her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather underneath all the sword and sorcery it's got elements that are reminiscent of a soap opera. Maybe tell her that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell her it gets better and stick it out for the first season at least and see if she wants to carry on after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that one. At least I'll get one season out of her. The thing I remember about the first season was that they specifically failed down the magic and fantasy, and dialled up the boobs and sean bean, to suck people in. Then they were confident the story had gripped enough people they dialled down the boobs (been ages since I've seen Emelia Clarkes) and dialled up the sorcery. Ehats funny is that Sean Bean was the marquee star, making it such a shocker when he died (I think in this thread I don't have to call that a spoiler at this stage), and there were no other real marquee stars at that time. But since then, a lot have become stars in their own right. So my wife was going through saying, 'oh, she's jean grey' or 'she's the one from doctor who'.

Mostyn6 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 started watching a programme called Patriot on amazon prime. Only a couple of episodes in and it looks pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Has anyone seen 13 reasons why? It's on Netflix. Brilliant college drama in which a girl who has committed suicide has left tapes implicating those she feels contributed to her death. It has caused controversy in the US, largely because the behaviour exhibited by the students is not atypical. Bullying and cruelty can come in the most forgettable forms. Really gripping stuff and brilliantly acted by the young cast. Equally relevant to teenagers and parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Been watching "The Housemaid's Tale". A bit unlikely as storylines go, but then that's what makes a good storyline ?. Really enjoying it all the same. We've also recently watched both seasons (don't know if there are more but that's what's available over here) of Lucifer. Again, enjoyed that.

Watched the last episode at the weekend plus the 30 minute programme involving the cast and team. Hard to watch but all the more worthy because of that.
