Not the kind of thing I'd usually go for but my wife convinced me to give it a go and it was excellent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched it out of desperation for something to watch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having finished it, it’s worth persevering with. I quite liked the style of it and the method used to tell the story but understand how it would irk some viewers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs M is more irritated by it than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy Russell T Davies non Dr Who output and I feel this will shape up to be one of the best. It's brilliant and very powerful. Got one more episode to watch tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the arty-ist of these kind of shows - lots of interpretation and metaphor, lots of trying to say something abstract with a lump of glass.

villa4europe Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yeah finished season 1 and the 2 efforts in the final seemingly came down to an arty thing that the other simply wasn't in a place to contend with Spoiler The trans woman put an egg in the middle of her piece representing the lack of women in their industry... Goodnight Vienna I think the telegraphing of the final was more annoying, you could see it coming from episode 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I always seem late to the game lol when it comes to great shows. Anyway, started watching Boardwalk Empire this past Friday and will finish it this morning. Great show and Steve Buscemi and really the entire cast are fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Its A Sin, watched the last 3 episodes last night and I sat there thinking, who gets the bafta. Its content won’t be for everyone, thats fine its your loss as it was absolutely one if the best bits of telly I have seen in a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Watched the Nightstalker on Netflix this week, the documentary itself wasn’t great. I feel they could have told a better story than the slow, drawn out one they did. However it was worth watching just to learn about Richard Ramirez, particularly for me as I’d not heard of this case before. He was one sick, evil individual! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @Chindie not sure if it's what you meant with blown away but I finished episode 3 with the cartoon characters Spoiler And the guy who will be in the final did the pencils... And then spoke about himself in the 3rd person saying he doesn't do googly eyes That's like me on bake off saying I don't do cakes here's some bread He should have gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler A guy decides he doesn't want to do the challenge, and does something else very tangentially related to the challenge, albeit very well. They get rid of a guy who meets the brief but doesn't do anything astounding. Nonsense. They just wanted the other guy to remain in the competition despite him actively rejecting the challenge. Utter nonsense and soured me on the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
