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. I was expecting the same but on hindsight, the incredibly poignant solution was lovely. I can only imagine how badly the Americans would butcher the same show! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Started the new season of Fargo, back to it's brilliant best. After watching the first 3 episodes, I'm really struggling to re- engage with Reacher. It really isn't all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a fan of the books, as I was before, the last couple of poor outings, the new series of Reacher is bang on the money, replicating, bad luck and trouble, which, arguably is Child’s best book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try and finish the remaining episodes of Reacher, but like I said, I'm struggling with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the last episodes are out till mid January, so no need to rush for the record, I am enjoying Fargo as well Edited December 29, 2023 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Just caught the 2nd ep of the Beckham doc, the wife having watched the first already and she doesn't even like football (no idea what she was looking for...) - it's shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a PR exercise produced by them. It's hideous. He actually went down a lot in my estimations after watching it. It also came across as a chance for them to dig the knife into people they don't like - eg Hoddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted December 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2023 Just watched the first episode of Brockmire based on a recommendation. I was caught off guard by the monologue about walking in on his wife pegging the next door neighbor, as our 15 year-old daughter was watching with us. A tad awkward. It was a very funny show, though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first episode was free and then you have to subscribe to AMC+ (7-day free trial), which is why we didn’t just go ahead and watch the next episode. Looks like you can also pay by the episode on Apple TV and Vudu. The guy who recommended it to us had watched it in the UK, presumably fairly recently, so I assume it’s available there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I very rarely watch ITV, mainly because I can't watch it live on my TV. Too lazy, or maybe too tight to get a freeview Ariel. However, the new Toby Jones drama a true story titled Mr Bates v The Post Office looks very interesting. So I may just decide to watch it on my cracked screen Samsung tablet. That's how much I admire the acting talent of Toby Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those dramas that I think won't need to embelish for dramatic effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzavfc Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Managed 2 episodes of the Money Heist spin off Berlin before turning it off. It has none of the appeal of the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Rewatching the Sopranos again, every time it gets better and better. Even little things, like the relationship with Agent Harris, Sil and his Asthma, so many small nuances that add so many levels to what is already an amazing show 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
