Scott129 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Finished watching Netflix's One Piece last night. I haven't watched the original animated series (there's over a 1000 episodes) but I thought it was good fun with some interesting characters. SFX leaves a bit to be desired, however, and the overall silliness of it won't be for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just browsing things to watch and stumbled across The Reckoning Am I being a bit of a Karen by thinking it's sickly that the BBC have made a drama series exploring Jimmy Savile's crimes? The guy that got away with it in the 70's is back thanks to the BBC! Popcorn ready! Blurgh 🤢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the BBC should be criticised for making the drama, they’re not afraid to demonstrate that a lot of his crimes took place under their watch or that they failed to act (having said that, I think I have read somewhere that they have omitted some investigation). It’s the type of true crime drama that was always going to be made by someone (like the one about the Yorkshire Ripper). The BBC would have been wrong if they had shied away from making it.

Stive Pesley Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm mainly intrigued to see how Steve Coogan handles the part. I'm not sure I can imagine him abusing some corpses and then not going all Partridge A-Haaaaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 finally got around to watching Sex Education on Netflix, I think I've been previously guilty of pre-judging this as some teen thing without knowing anything about it. Got to hold my hand up and say I was wrong, and I'm really loving it. If you've not seen it, give a couple of episodes a go. It's not too sophisticated, but it is funny and sometimes warming, but on the whole, entertaining. Johnny Russell/10 Jubbs and Ramrob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's daft, but it's great fun, but you do need to free your imagination in order to enjoy it as it is essentially a fantasy production.

As you say, a gentle but brilliant watch. Why did you come to bed at 1am asked the wife. Watching a fishing program that had me hooked. She just looked at me and walked away. Look forward to the next series already. Premier ram and Anag Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Lee Mack episode but love the combination of wistful humour and beautiful countryside. They have much to say about life and the ageing process.

It was the only dampener on yet another brilliant series that I so nearly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Since I'm here I thought I'd chuck in a couple I'm watching: Slow Horses (Apple) - a bit slow (sic) to this one but brilliant IMO, about a group of cast out MI5 spooks. Only watched S1 so far, and hoping S2 doesn't disappoint. Great cast, especially Gary Oldman. Invasion (Apple) - Sci-Fi - more about the people than the aliens - enjoying this too, currently on S2E8. Has had mixed reviews (some saying too slow paced) but I don't think so. The Long Shadow (ITV/ITVX) - Focuses on the victims of The Ripper attacks of the 70s including some pretty bigoted views on women and highlighting the police's many failings . Compelling TV and def worth a watch. Gap tooth ram, Comrade 86 and Anag Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
