Leicester Ram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Only just got round to watching The Queen's Gambit last week. Was absolutely brilliant, ended up binging it. Was looking for something to fill the hole once I finished it and took a chance on another Netflix limited series called Godless starring our boy Jack O'Connell. Was completely unaware it was made by the same bloke who made Queen's Gambit, it is equally brilliant and a well made Western. Thoroughly recommend both, even though many have probably seen them. Also just started watching the West Wing following the events in Capitol last week. Not sure what made me watch it but I do think it's excellent. Seems laughably optimistic and naive following the past 5 years though. ariotofmyown and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Here to remind people that The Expanse on Amazon Prime is still one of the best things on TV and you're missing out if you haven't seen it. Fantastic cast and incredible writing that somehow keeps getting better and better as the seasons progress. Highgate and Mostyn6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly the first few episodes are a bit slow, but it really kicks into gear after that. There's quite a bit of world building and character set up to get through. I'd definitely recommend persevering with it until at least the end of the first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does start slow, but it’s just establishing the base of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Currently binge watching Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing series 3. Absolutely fantastic tv. I believe @DarkFruitsRam7 mentioned it in the summer and I watched the first 2 series. It must be one of the worst ideas ever for a tv series, but it's just so beautifully done. The banter between the two is great, with moments of humour and also reflection on life ( just found myself crying at Paul's memories of his dad in episode 4). If you haven't seen please give it a try. Fishing may not be your thing, but it really doesn't have to be.

TimRam Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Another Life on netflix. Decent scifi. Interstellar mixed with Event Horizon and given another season. Edited January 17, 2021 by TimRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth a watch, even though the premise (two middle-aged men walking around fields with metal detectors) sounds terrible.

Jourdan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Has anyone seen The Serpent on BBC iPlayer? I watched the first episode. Only Jenna Coleman’s beautiful face kept me hanging in there. Does it get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story itself is a fascinating one but the constantly changing timeline back and forth was unnecessary. There was quite a lot of overreacting in my opinion too. One of those BBC dramas that gets a bit too clever and up itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But The Queen’s Gambit was the same. I watched the first episode and it almost sent me to sleep. Maybe it’s one to stick with. Maybe it grows on you.

Personally I think that the final two episodes in series two , must be some of the finest TV ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also enjoyed Godless which surprised me to be honest as it wouldn't normally be my kind of thing. Leicester Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first four episodes of the first series, then gave up. The Mrs gave up half way through the third episode. I might try again at some point !
