Hide contents Loved the scene where he stared at the commissioner and didn’t look away. Yeah, if an actor can elicit a strong emotion from you, they've done a good job. Disgust is the operative word here with Bernthal. He WAS Wayne Jenkins. He also nailed the Baltimore accent. I thought that he must've grown up around there, and it turns out he did. The DOJ Civil Rights Lady was really good too. And rather attractive! Great acting from top to bottom, really. I wish there was more of it to watch. I hope Simon does more cop stuff because it's better than his non cop stuff. Although Show Me a Hero was really good too, but nobody talks about that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 From memory show me a hero started slowly and so thick i found it overwhelming and a bit boring The actor making you hate his character.. Its why joffrey was so good, I'm sure the guy who played him has unretired but him walking away was a shame because he was absolutely superb, completely sold the bastardness of him, I'd happily argue he was the best actor on the show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at another time I mightve quit on it. But I'm glad I didn't. Once it hooks you you can't look away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) We’ve been reeled in to Redemption. Bit melodramatic but what ain’t these days? Edited July 14, 2022 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Started Top Boy, lasted 15 minutes. Baltimore wannabees with shit music, no thanks. Moved on to Outer Range, that's more like it. Very intriguing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as its very good And I don't think that's Baltimore wannabees... Its slightly over the top on gun crime but the majority of it is very believable and true to what parts of London are, especially the dialect which I found one of the most interesting aspects of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Just finished Troppo with Thomas Jane. "An eccentric private investigator with a criminal past recruits a disgraced ex-cop to help solve the disappearance of a Korean tech pioneer in the wilds of Far North Queensland." 8 episodes. Pretty solid show, nothing amazing but worth a go if you're into your detective shows and not sure what to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The writing on S3 of For All Mankind is so much worse than on the previous seasons sadly. Way too heavy on the soap melodrama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 For anyone thinking of watching the latest Netflix Resident Evil show, just don't. It's 95% young adult drama sprinkled with just enough familiar Resident Evil varnish so they could make a trailer. Lance Reddick is great but wasted on this and it feels like they spend all of their budget on that giant CGI caterpillar in the first 5 mins of ep 1. Goes from slug to slog after that. It's just content with a recognizable IP. 3/10 raccoon do-do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 James May's new show has started on amazon, our man in Italy Its OK, not as interesting as Japan but that's not his fault, I like programmes like this, casual travel shows that make you think you should go somewhere even though you will never see or experience what he's there doing Not all of his dad jokes hit but its still watchable easy TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
