JoetheRam Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Fear City - New York vs The Mafia. Decent little mini-series about the 70's/80's mob in NYC. Shows how the FBI built a case against The 5 Families and The Commission. TuffLuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The BBC 2 series on Rupert Murdoch was both fascinating and terrifying. Responsible for choosing every Prime Minister for the past 40 years and more recently Donald Trump as President. Arguably one of the most influential figures in the world.

Eddie Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 'Norsemen' on Netflix. This Norwegian comedy TV series basically takes the piss out of the countless other series about Vikings ('The Last Kingdom', 'Vikings' etc). May Contain Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Repair Shop on the beeb. The equivalent of bake off, harmless , feel good, nice gentle watch. I just love the craftsmen and women, very clever, very skllled. There are always back stories behind the items and being very average at DIY i am always amazed how they manage ot fix or restore items that look ready for the tip.

Anag Ram Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 In a similar vein, Amazing Spaces on Channel 4 shows just how ingenious people can be with property developments. I’m not the sort of person who watches house programmes but believe me, some of them will blow your mind. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Surely there’s some Taskmaster fans here? Just won a BAFTA, probably the best programme for laughs on telly. Looking forward to the new series on channel 4 Eddie, sage, r4derby and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Das Boot done, kept me pretty gripped. Now watching 'Kingdom' (Navy St) on Netflix. Drama about family of MMA fighters. Again, definitely good viewing and no complaints at all from me. At same time however, I am re- watching The Sopranos as the missus hasn't watched it. It is even better than I remember. The quality of writing is superior to pretty much anything else. Das Boot, Kingdom...definitely really enjoyable but you are aware they aren't going to change your world. Some things as you watch.. The Sopranos, Gomorrah, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead early seasons, True Detective season 1...The Wire..they feel epic, like you are watching something of magnitude, cultural importance...whatever, just things that will stay with you.

Gaspode Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Recently watched the reruns of Broadchurch having missed it the first time round. What an absolute huge steaming pile of horse manure - crap characters; crap acting; crap storyline; unbelievable situations and the most ridiculous final episode when the guilty party was finally unveiled.... if you’re tempted to watch it, spend your time instead trying to trim your toenails with your own teeth - it will be a far more worthwhile way to waste 8 or so hours of your life..... therealhantsram, Chester40 and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Watched The Edge on BBC2 last night. Best sports documentary I've seen. Behind the scenes with the England cricket team under Flower. Real insight into what it takes to become a test cricketer and also the toll it takes. Several familiar faces in tears. Also background on the Pietersen row. Riveting. ariotofmyown, Eddie and JoetheRam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV used to be known for their great drama, but in recent years they've been shocking. Only Unforgotten worth watching. Agree about Broad church. It has all the sophistication of a 1980s rerun. Audiences have moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I don't suppose anyone on here is watching Mrs America? It's a fascinating picture of the US fight for basic rights for women in the 1970s we take for granted today. Phyllis Schlafly is brilliantly portrayed by Cate Blanchett. She is truly repulsive! I was a teenager when all this was going on and it makes me realise how lucky I was not to have been born 20 years earlier. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice, when watching S2 and S3, do not judge against S1! S1 is amongst the best and most intense acting I’ve ever seen.
