Rodders Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I do hope it doesn't end up being the convoluted mess that last season's turned out to be. It was a pretty cautious opener last night though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Started Formula One: Drive to Survive over the weekend, although I'm not really an F1 fan. Absolutely addicted! Truly brilliant TV and up there with one of my favourite sports documentaries already. I'm not sure if not being an F1 fan and knowing very little about some of the battles back in 2018 is making it more interesting for me than it would for others.

Nicho Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Binged 3 seasons of American Gods on Prime. Loved it even if I’m not sure what’s going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I didn't realise ITV had started doing the Roy Grace detective novels. They did a pretty decent job with the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most exciting start but still good I'll wait until the end and binge watch it all. Mainly due to having a terrible memory now, I can't wait a week between episodes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Villa fan on there I actually caught an episode of that for the first time the other day. Only had a vague idea what the set up was. For those who don’t know and have no wish to find out first hand, think “big brother” meets “call my bluff” done through social media and you’re basically there. “Cat fishing” and the like. I think if I was 10-15 years younger I might have become an avid viewer. As to be expected it’s quite ego centric in places, there’s a lot of dialogue that ends with a hashtag when they don’t really need one #lessismoreguys. I would hazard a guess it wouldn’t appeal to many on here. However if you made me watch this or love island, I’d choose the circle every time. There’s an interesting idea in there, just too much “bants” and similar that detract from the gamesmanship. The Villa lad seems a good fella, to be fair.

Nah. It's well written has some good twists and turns and the characters are interesting. Last season was a bit of a stretch at the end to be fair but before that it was very compelling TV. I might be biased as Jed Mercurio looked after my dad in hospital years before he became a famous writer. My dad was recovering from surgery for cancer and Jed would sit up all night talking to him as my dad couldn't sleep. (Mercurio used to be a doctor.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I started "The Fall" with Gillian Anderson. 3rd Episode. 8.5/10 so far. Procedurally the Police are all over the shop for SOC and Forensics though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hashtagging makes me cringe, but yeah it's a really cool concept and the first two series were brilliant. This one is OK so far, but not living up to those two yet. The second series there was some seriously you could say vicious gameplay going on from one of the catfish and IIRC he actually won one of the cash prizes (voted for by fellow players, the other cash prize was voted for by the viewers). He got some serious hate on social media for it (which all died down) but looking back it was great TV. And agreed on Love Island, I can't deal with watching that now.

Been OK but this latest episode was poor. Kelly Mcdonald is so shit as an actress it's embarrassing, stiff as a board and just so unnatural as a lead role in the police force. It was laughable at times. 59 minutes ago, tomav84 said: got 5 episodes in to the terror and turned it off. load of rubbish we thought. 2 episodes into Devils which i'm enjoying so far The Terror was...... dreadful, go the last episode straight after the 3rd and you miss nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_75 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I gave up on The Terror after 2-3 episodes. I wanted to like it but it didn't grip me at all. Finished season 1 of Godfather of Harlem. Tremendous. Season 2 starts in a couple of weeks I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
