sheepyvillian Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Top last episode of season 1 'Kin'. Cannot wait for season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 2 episodes in of Criminal Code (original name DNA Do Crime) on Netflix and it's not bad at all, rather good actually. Brazilian police vs gang series. Apparently it's the most expensive Brazilian Netflix show to date and it's already renewed for a S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor who plays Frank's brother is the mercurial Francis Magee. Brilliant character actor whose been in everything from Eastenders, Peep Show and Game of Thrones. Oh, and its Aidan Gillan, not Aidan Quinn Just finished this, hope a second season is in the pipeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2023 Latest series of Slow Horses is as enjoyable (3 episodes in for me so far) as the first two. The Oldman character is vaguely in danger of becoming a caricature but it’s still very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2023 Finished Bodies and Murder at the End of the World this week. Both around the 6/10 mark. Just about worth persevering with, neither nearly as clever as they think they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Really enjoying Slow Horses S3. Better than 2 which I enjoyed but it was dragging by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Watched Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix and it was far better than I expected it would be. Thought it was much better than Flanagan's Midnight Mass. Not as good as Haunting of Hill tho. Edited December 23, 2023 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Ghosts one was mildly nice. I suppose they are limited by tone in how they end the show but I thought there would be something more. Felt like anodyne fluff to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I enjoyed the Ghosts finale. lovely little series with some great characters and laughs. Fair play to them finishing it though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Half way through the pacific having watched BoB earlier in the month I dont think anyone would disagree BoB is better, even though it's got more characters it creates more of a connection, also so of the pacific happens at night that it's hard to really know what's going on The biggest surprise is the equipment though, the Pacific shows the mounted gun being far more significant, so much more of it is the men putting it down setting it up or in basilones case going for a jog with it, its like a complete different war, it has obvious accompanying ties to BoB but at the same time it really doesn't I do think you need to watch both before going in to the new one, if nothing else just to re set expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoB is more involving, simply because it follows one company, where The Pacific focuses on different individuals whose paths don't cross. They also completely left out one of the story arcs of the Pacific book, following a dive bomber pilot (presumably due to technical and budgetary challenges). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them finishing it though. It was fine. But I had presumed we were going to see them pulled off one by one. Respect to them for closing it down. Now, if you want to see how not to make exactly the same programme, try some Ghosts USA. Awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
