Boyd Crowder is possibly my favourite character in TV! YES!!! Another convert... Justified doesn't get anywhere near enough love from people. Brilliant show On 15/02/2020 at 13:19, Chester40 said: Several people strongly recommended it, plus positive reviews on here... Watched 45mins and turned it off. Thought the whole thing was very hammy and naff. Lots of conversations that were played as 'natural' dialogue but just didn't feel real to me. Could almost hear the ideas and how they looked written on paper...all felt very heavy handed and clunky to me. 'To show contrast he then calls his wife who is relaxing in a hotel with a glass of wine... Cut to her lying on a bed. "oh yeh baby, are you OK cos its sooo hard being me, just f-ing relaxing here on a bed' (swearing makes it much more edgy). Etc Not for one second did I forget it was all acting. Weird how much I disliked it. It certainly isn't high art. You could tell from the trailer it was gonna be a bit campy. You can certainly notice it's airport novel origins...

Watched S1 and S2, but instantly forgettable for me Loved season 1, but I could only manage 3 episodes of season 2 before I quit through boredom 21 hours ago, 86 Schmokes & a Pancake said: Anyone else watching The Outsider? Wishing I hadn't started it as I'm so immature that I can't wait a week between episodes. Watched 1st three and am hooked so debating whether to drop it for now then binge watch it when all episodes are available ? Even though the quality dropped off after the first couple of episodes it's still very good. Plus as a bonus it features Staffordshire's Finest Paddy Consindine...

ariotofmyown Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Just watched 7 Seconds on Netflix. Loved it. Had a few Wire similarities. Lots of lead characters, blurred lines between good and bad, honest but depressing view of America. Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 With the weather being so crappy for the foreseeable I thought I might drown myself sorrows in comfort food and god liquor this weekend and to the that end I'm going to revisit a show called Gomorrah. It's an Italian show about the fluctuating fortunes of Naples' foremost crime syndicate and it's utterly brilliant. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 bigbadbob, Chester40 and Tamworthram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Watching Atypical on Netflix. Great feelgood telly. A good smattering of laughs mixed with a nice message. Watch it when you need a pick me up. bigbadbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I see Netflix have released their F1 2019 inside story.. The one they did for the 2018 season was brilliant and a real behind the scenes look at the mid rank teams like Haas, Force India and also Red Bull. Will look forward to watching this one as well.

It's relentless without ever seeming forced or gratuitous. I'm going to have a look at what else the creators and directors have done too. 5 hours ago, Chester40 said: Watched it all way through twice.

Refusing to try films because of subtitles is something I can't get my head around. After a few minutes you're not even aware you're reading them and when you've got 50 odd hours to watch, you find yourself picking up the language anyway. 9 hours ago, Mostyn6 said: I'd be surprised if I never mentioned this in here or the other TV shows thread.

I think there's a few on here who know him outside of the forum. As for Gomorrah, quick Google spat out this... Currently you are able to watch "Gomorrah" streaming on Sky Go, Now TV or buy it as download on Apple iTunes, Amazon Video, Rakuten TV, Talk Talk TV, Sky Store, Google Play Movies. There are various torrent sites obviously as well as free streaming sites. If you're not familiar with them just PM me. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just binge watched White House Farm. Very good series with excellent acting (except for Stephen Graham’s Welsh accent). Although, as is often the case, I can’t help feeling it was a little biased especially if you read about the case afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 For those who like the true crime stuff the unabomber doc on Netflix is worth a watch. Didn’t know much about it him going but it really goes into a good amount of detail of his psyche and how we was able to get away with it.
