I even wondered if it was going to happen after or during the credits as has been done with films like Blair Witch. I went to see Phantom of the Opera when Michael Crawford was in it and my sister had told me about this amazing part that would have me gasping in awe near the beginning it was so incredible. At the interval I was thinking she must have meant it was near the end. And at the end I presumed she thought I'd said I was going to see the latest Bond film. But no, apparently her and half of London were staggered by a ducking chandelier falling to the floor. Shame it didn't fall on Lloyd Webber's head when has was writing it. Homeland did dip and get better, but it also contained a scene that had me crying with laughter when it wasn't meant to be. It was (I think) the very last scene of one later season when Kerry got released by the baddies and came rushing over the bridge toward Saul looking like a witch on acid and went straight past him not recognising him. Aaaaanyway. You're an even tougher crowd than me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I get fed up with me pulling plots apart and pointing out continuity errors. I'm worst with trees. If you expect me to watch a film of yours, you'd better film it over one season or make sure there are no trees (or coniferous trees only) or I'll be pointing out that the last scene was in summer and we're clearly now back in spring. It's like a drug. Highgate, Alph and I know nothing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really tell you much about the story without spoilers. We're watching this at the moment. I'd liken it to Sherlock in terms of pacing, style and total implausibility of the lead character's antics! It's a fun 'romp' and if you like Sherlock you'll probably like Lupin.

Those that did missed some brilliant tv. Series 4 onwards was basically a different tv show. Think it was the best ending of a long running show too. Gave up after the first season. Not sure I could wade though another 2 seasons to get to the upturn to be honest. On a separate note, just watched Messiah which I found quite intriguing. Was hoping midway they'd limit it to a single explosive series, but alas Netflix thought otherwise. Wish more series like True Detective season 1 were made - less fluff and a story told end to end without the need to artificially extend it. At least they had the decency to write entirely new stories for seasons 2 and 3, even if they were garbage by comparison. Edit: Nearly forgot - The Falcon and The Winter Soldier - load of bolarks. Didn't last through to the second episode ?♂️ Edited April 27, 2021 by 86 Hair Islands ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Fascinating programme on BBC4 about the construction of a huge structure entombing the Chernobyl nuclear reactor - still spewing out radiation some 35 years later. Well worth catching on i-player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The Hunter I'd liken it to Sacha Baron Cohen's 'The Spy', crossed with Gomorrah. 8/10 Pretty stylish retro Italian mafia series. Not quite as engrossing or visceral as Gomorrah but definitely worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Said this before, but really don't get the Line of Duty love in. Missus keeps saying she wants to start it because everyone loves it so it must be good. I watched 3 or maybe 4 series under pressure from several good friends and its just a glorified The Bill.
