Lichfield Dean Posted August 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2023 Babylon 5 season 2: "The Long Twilight Struggle" is one of the very best episodes of TV of any kind ever made. Remarkable stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Finished Good Omens series 2. Perfectly fine. It's Good Omens fan fic built on a tiny, tiny, tiny side story-esque plot. Gets rid of the stuff people don't like (/didn't survive adaptation), doubles down on what people liked (Aziraphale and Crowley). Basically lives and dies on Sheen and Tennant's performances and chemistry, which remain excellent. It's not really Good Omens, and it misses that Pratchett touch. But it's still fun. Edit - also appreciated the Crow Road shout outs. And the very brief Discworld 'cameo'. Edited August 28, 2023 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I've just come to the conclusion whilst watching The Witcher: no one swears as cute as Ciri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyeddie Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Just finished watching Rabbit Hole, it is very good, Charles Dance is his usual excellent self. The only issue is Kiefer Sutherland now looks like a bloke who is about the rob a bank wearing a rubber Kiefer Sutherland mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Really enjoyed The Power Of Parker on iPlayer. Surprised it's only scored 6.7 on IMDb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Nearing the end of Snowfall. Poor Leon, how do you find redemption from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Snowfall, the "Saint" in Franklin's name was obviously a sense of irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wilko154 Posted August 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Finished The Bear S2. Some absolutely brilliant television, at least three of the episodes are some of the best episodes of a TV series I've seen (Honeydew, Fishes & Forks) Edited August 30, 2023 by wilko154 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure it was on here that I saw the recommendation so thank you to all those who did! What a fantastic show. I’ve binged the whole thing in just a few days. Couldn’t stop watching it. There are some truly incredible scenes. It’s probably on the list of all time favourites. It seems even better after reading a bit about Scott Ryan. Wow. What a show. Approaching end of series 2. Absolutely wonderful TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Just started The 6th Commandment. It doesn't take very long to reach the conclusion that the Ben character has something very disturbing about him indeed. Timothy Spall, always worth the entrance fee. However, I still wonder to this day why he played a Brummie in AP, when they had a genuine Brummie as part of the cast in the form of Pat Roach.

Used to watch it as a kid (and probably didn't get half of it.) Going to look it up now and see if it's aged well or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't already seen it, check out the Channel 4 documentary about the case Catching a Killer: A Diary From the Grave - still available online. It's incredible how accurate Éanna Hardwicke's portrayal of Ben Field is in the dramatised version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
