I'm thinking that watching them adorned in their aprons, craching around their kitchens oathing loudly would make for some pretty compelling viewing! ? *annoyingly, they all actually appear to be really good cooks ? In the bag... @frogggis in hiding and @Eddieis shall we say.. Rustic. Presentation needs work..?? I would be worried about the Froggg meister though.

As for @froggg, he's clearly running scared ? Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be worried about the Froggg meister though. It's all about the taste. I have no pretentions about my 'ability' - I just enjoy pottering about, creating dishes that taste superb and which elicit a comment like "It'll do" from the Memsahib. 'Rustic' could well be an accurate description. If the presentation is not up to the standards of others, that doesn't concern me.

We watched an episode and got to admit both of us were pretty underwhelmed. Felt very much style over substance. Reminded me vaguely of White Lines, all very glossy, but characters who seemed shallow and scenes that jumped around but with no depth or interest. Felt like a BBC acting class with dodgy wigs and people who have been in Hollyoaks. I will probably revisit it but I didn't engage with any of the people in it after the first episode. Maybe I was in the wrong mood. I wanted to give up half way through the first episode but glad I didn't. Each programme got better and better - worth the effort.

Its the kind of TV I would normally loathe....but something about it really affects me. I recall one episode where they built a wet/shower room and installed a winch etc for a young lad who had a brain injury. He had been a good looking bloke with his life ahead of him and now his whole family were in floods of tears because they were able to bring him home from the nursing home he was in. I don't watch it anymore in case the missus decides I'm having a breakdown!! Rev and Anag Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I finished The Serpent a few weeks back now. I agree with @Chester40. It’s underwhelming and unconvincing. It is average fare and undeserving of all the hype and publicity it was generating at the beginning of the year. It takes what is actually an interesting real life story and strips it of any tension, any intrigue, any coherence, and where the characters are concerned - there’s hardly any believability. Rahim is hit and miss as Charles, as an example. He conveys the nasty, bitter, unflinching side of the character well but doesn’t really illustrate any of the charm or charisma that would bring all of these people into his orbit in the first place. It is also unnecessarily long and drawn out - eight episodes long when it could be easily condensed into four episodes or fewer. Don’t get sucked in by the hype. ariotofmyown and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 The search function doesn’t bring up any previous mention of The Alienist but I’ve been watching this week. Takes a couple of episodes to shake off the bizarreness and feel realistic, but then becomes very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Storyville on the BBC player.: red penguins. American entrepreneurs try to bring capitalism to the Russian ice hockey team in the 90's as Yeltsin takes control of Moscow. You forget what Russia went through in the early 90's. 2 cultures that will always distrust each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 2 episodes in to ZeroZeroZero on Sky Atlantic. It’s an 8 episode series. Not seen Gomorrah, but it has the same writers, which I’ve heard is highly rated. Pretty solid start. Has anyone else seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
