Tamworthram Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 So, I’ve just finished watching Penny Dreadful, City of Angels. After a promising start I was somewhat underwhelmed and disappointed. Parts of the series seemed to be a showcase for the dancing which, whilst impressive and entertaining, did nothing for the storyline and was really just a distraction. Some of the acting and dialogue was a little dodgy as well. If you’ve never been on it (bad luck, it was a great great but no longer there) this won’t mean anything to you but, imagine the gangster that takes over the tour on Walt Disney Worlds Great Movie Ride.

We have one episode to watch and I'm giving it an Igor Stimac/10. I think it's even better than Giri/Haji ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells the true story of Neil Baldwin - a man tagged at school with “learning difficulties” who then went on to become a Circus Clown, Lay Preacher, unofficial student greeter at Keele University and Stoke City kit man. It’s a strange mix of fantasy, musical and biopic with a tremendous performance from Toby Jones playing Neil. On iPlayer for the next month.... Just watched it again and enjoyed it just as much as the first time around. Well worth a watch for anyone that hasn't seen it.

TuffLuff Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Black and British is an excellent history series currently on Iplayer. Well worth a watch “Historian David Olusoga explores Britain's history, examining the country's relationship with people of African descent. Throughout the documentary Olusoga visits historically significant sites and erects 20 plaques over Britain, Africa and the Caribbean to commemorate events and people. Beginning with the arrival of North African Roman soldiers in the 3rd century AD, Olusoga discusses Britain's first known African community in Burgh-by-Sands, Cumbria. Other episodes document the role of the African trumpeter in the Tudor Courts and Queen Victoria's relationship with her African goddaughter” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 McMafia - English /Russian mafia drama. Not sure of the consensus...but I was pleasantly surprised. James Norton is constantly in an immaculate suit regardless of time /place (Ray Donovan style) and he sorta reminded me of Laurence Fox. High quality cast with lots of nice settings and scenery. Engaging enough and relatively believable. Nowhere near as grimy, captivating and engrossing as Gomorrah nor as brutal and visceral as Gangs of London... not 'frothy' but definitely mainstream and a good watch nonetheless.

Mostyn6 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 A guilty pleasure of mine, considering I detest most reality TV, I thoroughly enjoy Undercover Girlfriends. Basically 5 lads go on holiday thinking its part of a programme about relationships and their girlfriends are on a holiday doing similar, but the girls are in a villa up the road spying and plotting missions. Fascinating viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of gym-addict boys who have already been unfaithful, being spied on by their low self-esteemed birds trying to catch them cheating. Give it a go.

I feel dirty... My missus watches Love Island and tries to convince me its a really deep analysis of the human psyche. Occasionally I will let her convince me to watch it and then the vitriol erupts and she hurriedly agrees its good we can enjoy different things.

Eddie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Just finishing off season 6 of The Americans. By and large, I have found it interesting but not totally compelling. The Memsahib, on the other hand, loves it. We go our separate ways after around 11:00 pm - she adjourns to the jigsaw table and I settle down to watch a couple of episodes of Dark. I can thoroughly recommend this very, er, dark... German Sci Fi series. ariotofmyown and Chester40 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just had to swap my SkyQ box cos of software issues. I went through recordings to make a list of things to find/record on the replacement box. Stumbled across the recordings and as it was morning, no cricket or golf was on, I spent a few hours watching. It did make me realise how old and out of touch I am, but to add, it said season 2 was aired about 2 yrs ago. Id deffo watch a season 3 if it existed Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
