Forgot how great (and bonkers) it was. Spaced was brilliant. I watched it first time around and thought it was alright, but I watched it again with my daughter a couple of years ago and we both loved it. Especially with my son being an artist, we’ve forever been calling him Brian and asking him if he’s painting ANGER, PAIN, FEAR etc... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the end was crap. The quality had been declining for at least the last three seasons. S1 to S4 were fantastic though. Then again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did lose a bit of its appeal when Ragnar died but I really enjoyed the way they kind of left it open at the end with Floki. The other brother looks like Connor as well Jack the boneless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to start this show soon but someone on here posted a similar thing a couple of weeks and put me off. Thanks.

Seat68 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Watched Hip Hop: The songs that shook America last night on BBC4. The first 2 episodes were Jesus Walks by Kanye West and Alright by Kendrick Lamar. I dislike Kanye West but still got something out of the first episode. Where the evolution of hip hop which is a superb series, focused on artists, this focused on certain tracks. I didn’t watch the Kendrick Lamar episode as he has passed me by. Next week its Rock Box by Run DMC and Elevators by Outkast. Its made by AMC so may be available to watch the entire series on your telly provider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the dissect podcast on Spotify, does an album at a time looking at the context, lyrics and then the sampling, usually 1 or 2 songs per episode Also not a fan of Kanye but did gain a bit of appreciation for him on some songs, am a fan of Kendrick but often feel songs like alright are a bit above my intelligence and understanding and a bit too much in to American society and politics for it to always resonate properly with me, alright being a perfect example of that, I'm better with simpler stuff like the recipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spoiler in the OP doesn’t actually spoil anything, in terms of dramaturgy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The new limited series Your Honour, starring Bryan Cranston coming soon on Sky Atlantic looks pretty decent. As does Zero Zero Zero (all episodes available from Thursday) with Gabriel Byrne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just finished watching The Queen Gambit. I did enjoy it but probably not as much as others have seemed to. I did find myself looking at my phone a fair bit during the last few episodes. Still worth a watch if you haven't seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
