Tamworthram Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 After winning an award at the BAFTA's on Sunday I decided to watch "I am Ruth" last night. Pretty powerful stuff and scary if you've got a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an acquired taste but I think she is very funny. No, he hasn't and if i were to suggest it to him, he would likely after a short internet browse give me an odd look, or two.

In an episode about America: “land of the free. Which came as a surprise to all the slaves” In another episode about Iraq she is walking through some sand dunes and says “this isn’t Iraq. That’s thousands of miles away and f***ing dangerous”. It just tickled me. I’m sure the academics she interviews know it’s a spoof (otherwise, they’d walk out) but go along with it.

Into the second season of Fauda and it's getting better and better and the guy from ISIS is genuinely scary. My fave show of the last 2 years. 9.5/10 and the best terrorist drama since Homeland and probably better than that tbh. We've stopped Success to let it catch up, but in all honesty, since episode 3 I think it's really started to tail off. Went from a solid 9/10 to a 7.5 for me.

Tamworthram Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Struggling to find much worth watching at the moment so I’ve resorted to Armstrong and Miller on Amazon Prime. A bit dated but still some funny sketches especially the dentist sketches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRam Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Just started watching Last King of the Cross with Tim Roth, only one episode in, looks promising. The story of two brothers who rise to power on the streets of Kings Cross, Sydney. On Sky Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely outstanding and whereas he has a LOT of faults, dishonesty doesn't appear to be one of them because he pretty much admits everything he has ever done including assisting in his mothers suicide and other highly illegal acts. He is big friends with Depp and he clearly thought Heard was utterly insane. I was vaguely aware that he'd sued The Sun and lost (it didn't make big news in the US) and Stanhope mentions that, but he also alludes there was other stuff coming down the pike and that it would end badly. Stanhope is a lunatic and he was clearly scared of going around to see Depp when Heard was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Mr Inbetween - contract killer struggles to navigate 'normal' life between hits. Won't be for everyone but it's dark, funny, poignant and quite clever in a sneaky kind of way. I liked it a lot. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7472896/episodes?season=3&ref_=tt_eps_sn_3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
