Bob The Badger Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 11 hours ago, Eddie said: The hype surrounding 'Happy Valley' finally got to us, and over the last 4 or 5 days, we have ploughed through the first two series. Although enjoyable, my first thought was "It's a bit predictable". I thought the same about that book by Nostradamus.

NottsRam Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Currently enjoying You Don't know Me, a four part British mini series on Netflix about a man on a murder charge in court and how it all transpired. Only on episode 2 but finding it quite gripping. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mucker is trying to say Orwells dystopian vision of the future, a la 1984, has come true, so he's comparing the soothsaying of that author and Nostradamus.

Bob The Badger Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I forgot to say that we went back and finished Severence - very good and hit 8/10 by the end with the last two episodes. And Britt Lower is so hot. And after ogling Julianne Moore in Sharper last night I think we can conclude that it's redheads that do it for me, which finally explains why I always get a semi on walking into Mcdonald's.

Tamworthram Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Just finished a series on Now TV/Sky. A gripping and shocking drama based on a true story of grooming in the 1980’s. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Missus has also finished Happy Valley series 1 now and she was massively let down by the ending. We will probably both start series 2 together now - see if we can get to the belated excitement of series 3. I'm on series 4 of Handmaid's Tale, not the same tight, oppressive feeling of earlier series (like many series eg the Walking Dead the early sparse episodes inevitably give way to bigger rambling storylines) but I'm still 'enjoying' it. The subject doesn't really allow you much respite but its excellently handled and acted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The Gold Story of the Brink's-Mat bullion robbery and the task force assembled to down Noyes & co. It's very good without presenting the facts or the protagonists in an entirely accurate fashion. Nice soundtrack too. Worth a watch.

Bob The Badger Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Started watching Ganglands tonight a French series that I only knew of because the new second season showed up in my latest offering on Netflix. I wasn't keen as it only had 7.1 on IMDB but Mrs Badger insisted. 2 episodes in and it's brilliant. I hope it can maintain this level. Feels a tad like a French Top Boy/Gomorrah.

Finished season 2 a couple of days back. It's a hidden gem. I love French crime series - check out Braquo if you've not already - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1429534/ It's by Olivier Marchal (ex-copper) and most of his stuff is pretty good - Les Lyonnais and 36 Quai des Orfèvres two movies of his you might like. I tend to ignore the ratings for French series and movies. They're often not representative. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
