It's car-crash TV at it's best. 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. Sounds like something I'd be able to watch for about 10 minutes before getting angry and calling everyone involved a vapid, fame hunting Bamford and rage quit, full of people I'd go 100 miles out of my way in real life to avoid ever having to share the same air as. 'low self-esteemed birds' my arse. You laugh at the silly twits for a while but then you remember that the most stupid bankers in the world are often the happiest, so why are we laughing at them? If people in the office start talking about Love Island I stick my earphones in and drown out the noise. Edited July 18, 2020 by Coconut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good and I could watch Joseph Gilgun that plays Vinny in anything. Think his natural style is unique and endearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Finished "The Americans". I really enjoyed the final series. Now watching "Better call Saul" - very good start. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've carried on with that now, after bailing out half way through the fifth series. Mainly due to being unable to find anything else watchable on either Netflix or Prime! And no, I haven't watched probably 90% of stuff discussed in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Currently watching The Great on Prime. Comedy drama set in the time of a young Catherine The Great. Wasn't that sure at first thinking it was just another period drama but it's actually pretty funny. Nicholas Hoult plays Emperor Peter and reminds me of a character that should be in Blackadder. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2235759/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Your take is completey the opposite of mine - watched that when it was originally broadcast and wondering why I bothered - one of those series where I hope they all die at the end..... At the time I seem to remember Norton was being touted as a possible James Bond so was interested to see whether he had potential - decided he was far too much of a pretty boy actor with no depth or menace about him, though to be fair it wasn't the best material for him to work with....

Gritstone Ram Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have watched Queen of the South which for some reason reminded me of Scooby Doo even though it’s nothing like it. Now I’m watching The Assassination of Versace which is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually only watch shows that aren’t releasing any more episodes, can anyone say for sure there won’t be a 4th season of TD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well only bother with the first series of True Detective, which is top tier stuff. 2nd one is such a drop in quality. 3rd is supposed to be better than the 2nd though so I might give that a chance.

It would be hard to match the intensity of McConaughey’s acting from season 1, but if that didn’t exist, we’d still say 2&3 are pretty good.

Tamworthram Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just watched "Undefeated" on Sky documentaries. An absolute must watch for anyone interested in sport and American Football in particular. It's about a high school team from a deprived area of Memphis that has never won a play off game their history. Can't rate it highly enough.
