choffer Posted April 4 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4 Not sure if it’s new on AppleTV or I missed it when it first came out but Five Days at Memorial is pretty traumatic. It’s all about a hospital that was cut off in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Really worth a watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly not reflective of real life. You would be hard - pressed to find a smiling face in a job centre, and that includes the people who work there.

Didn't quite have the charm of the 70s show but that's natural. It's worth giving it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I binged "Messiah" the other week shame it got canned and no season 2 as I thought it was quite a decent series and left you with just enough is he or isn't he moments fairly sure he is just a naughty boy and that the young Syrian kid would turn out to be the messiah [/spolier] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Larry David has me howling again! When he goes to buy weed for his dad's glaucoma, and he goes to the dealer, "Lets count to three," just unbelievably funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) This Town.....sorry, but it is dull. I was 16 in 1981 so the music, news and lifestyles are relatable but.....actors putting on brummie accents ? Nah. Too many mentions of the Lulus and also the character wearing the double bollock chain ? Nah. Brummie TV programmes....Nah, doesn't work. I'm old enough to remember the p!ss poor and failed soap drama Empire Road from the late 70s. Awful. The characters in This Town are just so wooden especially the main/lead actor. There's a lot less emphasis on the music side in the show than i expected. I might warm to it in later episodes but you know when something catches your interest early on ? Well this ain't one of them but its just keeping me interested enough to carry on, but only just. Edited April 6 by mottaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I certainly won’t watch this tripe, hated two-tone anyway but I said to the missus that the turd who wrote it will try to shoehorn in as many small queef references as possible. Looks like I was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Peaky Blinders turned out pretty decent, probably the only thing Knight will do that is. Bluenose word removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
