It's annoying and a bit shit but I have to see it through. 1st season was powerful stuff, now it's balls. Keeps the Mrs happy though. I really enjoyed the last series but the first two episodes of this one haven't grabbed me. I don't really like it when shows resort to characters having hallucinations of other characters from the past, it just seems lazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Johan Renck (or Stakka Bo) the guy who directed Chernobyl is going to make a TV-series with HBO based on the video game The Last of Us together with Craig Mazin who also worked on Chernobyl. Never played the game but it's apparently really good, not sure I'm hyped for another zombie apocalypse show thou. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tough part of it will be that the game is probably the most cinematic I've ever played, it's all about the story and the atmosphere, the gameplay is the weakest part, trying to do a straight up story conversion from the game could be asking for trouble because honest I don't think they'll beat it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2020 Maybe one for The History thread but I am really enjoying A House Through Time. Basically they pick on an old house and research all the people who have lived there, digging up their stories. It's well researched, well written and interestley presented by David Olusoga. I think this is the third series now and it's the oldest house they have done, a house in Bristol built in 1718. With no small amount of irony it was built buy a rich sea captain who made his money in the slave trade and the first 2 owners were also sea captains involved in the slave trade. You couldn't write it....well you could and they did, but you know what I mean. I've thoroughly enjoyed each series because I am interested in history anyway, but this is the history of real people and their personal stories. Anyway I can thoroughly recommend it and looking for a future series set in Brum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Season 4 of 13 reasons why. If you suffer from anxiety this show really does well in addressing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I believe I might have been late to the party with Succession, but for me it's up there with The Wire. It's so good. Another HBO plug—The Righteous Gemstones is great too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Loved The Night Of. Now onto the first series of Doctor Foster. From the off I am enjoying it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Realised another 6 episodes of "Inside No.9" are on BBCiPlayer, so bashed through them last night. Also started "The Night Manager" which had escaped me. Great cast and cracking first episode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer man always plays basically exactly the same character in everything he does, but he is very good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Eastbound and Down has some of the best comedy moments I've ever seen. I barely got an episode into Vice Principals though—I should probably give it more of a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen odd bits and not really understood what was happening, but yeah, he's a very funny guy, even if it's all just 'variations on a theme'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first episode and gave up part way through. I might give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I disagree with you as from what I've heard these were far better than most, if not all, of the episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely silly, loud and crass, and the makers never miss an opportunity to show a penis or three, so I can definitely imagine people not loving it. I don't think I actually saw the first episode; I'm pretty sure I entered the room when my wife was watching episode 2 and then just never left.
