rjw63 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Also started "Them" last night. I like the scary angle of it but I find the racism story very stressful and hard to watch. Might leave this one alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie length finale?!? When’s this due??? should finish the final two episodes tonight - it’s been brilliant. Probably an unpopular opinion but I think TLK is better than Vikings (for which I’m halfway through S4) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realised the suffering on these people although I think cause I was younger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never be able to step out in public again. Always thought it was a despicable show, but looking back, what a arrogant word removed he really was. 1 hour ago, villa4europe said: I always thought that the show was dangerous and had a wider negative impact on society Thought that people could watch it and use it to justify their own lives in a "at least im not that" kind of way There was a very good doc on Netflix about a death on the 1990's Jenny Jones talk show which was similar to Jeremy Kyle. The outcome was its all about ratings, pure and simple and its all in the name of "entertainment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, I'm not sure if you saw last night but the staff who worked on the show played by actors on this programme said they used to lie, to wind the participants up, saying things the ex girlfriend etc, didnt even say just to get a reaction and increase the shows ratings.

I didn't see the CH4 program. Not sure I could stomach watching a program about Kyle TBH. He's an oxygen thief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's loosely based on the last 3 books but also leaves room for them to do those books somehow. No idea what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Looks kinda intriguing. Not read the book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason my mind associates this show with "Kingdom of Heaven", that shite Orlando Bloom film from the noughties. Which means I'm completely unmotivated to watch The Last Kingdom. It's totally irrational. But given your verdict I'm going to push myself and watch it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't have Bloom as the lead and cut some of the unnecessary bits it would be a very good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you confusing it with Highway to Heaven, a programme about Jonathan Smith an Angel who used to do good deeds?

sne Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Really liked the first season of The Last Kingdom but I've started 2 times and can not get past the first couple episodes of season 2. Probably give it a 3rd try some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
