I liked his good news stuff, so this could be fun too. It seems to be a carbon copy of his BBC stuff, just that it's on sky. The 10 minutes of comedy he crams into 45 minutes are ok, the rest is shite. Just the same as the longer/XL version of the BBC show, dragged out to fill the run time with a usually crap stand-up act.

TheAuthority Posted September 24, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2017 I loved Dragon's Lair - I only ever played it about twice because I didn't have enough money but I used to daydream about the game constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Enjoyed tin star but was probably only 6 episodes of worthy tv crammed into 10! Not sure what to watch next, probably the latest Fargo, whilst ray Donovan continues recording. Edited September 25, 2017 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Watched the first 2 episodes of the new Star Trek series Discovery. Isn't really a Trekkie but I was bored so it had to do. So far it's all right I guess, I'm no expert on how things are supposed to look and sound in this universe. I'd imagine some of the Star Trek purists will hate it thou because there is too much action. But I imagine it will calm down a lot during the actual series. Spoiler The main antagonist seem to be the Klingon who in this edition looks a bit like gaudy Uruk Hai and sounds like a deaf Bane speaking Portuguese backwards.

sheepyvillian Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just finished the second season of " True Detective " , not as good as the first but still wonderfully absorbing . Thought Amy Mcadams performance was special . It made " Line of Duty " look like " Z Cars " . Going to have me a bit of season 3 , fingers crossed.

Demitri_C Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Halfway through ozark. Bateman is bloody good in this role. Seems abit up and down. Good in parts boring in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially one set in the 80s. Surprised how few people seem to have seen this. Most enjoyable and not a bad time to give it a try if you haven't yet as the third & final season is due in the next month or so. It's not the best film ever but if you like red oaks you may want to give this a watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2170427/ It's a bit more american pie/superbad/generic loser kids last day of school & summer holiday movie but has a similar feel at times (maybe it's just the tennis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted September 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2017 Got about 3 or 4 episodes into Tin Star before deciding I was bored to tears and flanning it off. Just done the same with Westworld too. It hasn't grabbed me at all. Since Breaking Bad, I think Line of Duty is the only thing that has totally grabbed me.

Westworld is worth sticking with imo. it is a slow burning series but once the pieces begin to move into place it's excellent. Edit - have you tried Ray Donovan or The Night Of? Both very good indeed. Edited September 25, 2017 by theboyangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An eight parter on sky Atlantic (think it's on their box sets) which is excellent. Basic synopsis is a student picks up a lady in his dads taxi, ends up at her house and then wakes up to find her murdered. Well worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an American adaptation based on the first series of Criminal Justice. Agreed, very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm don't think so from a quick look at the trailer but it's 99p on amazon so will have a look at some point in the week must admit to being a sucker for this sort of stuff, especially anything 80's/gen x type stuff. Every time skye appeared on screen in red oaks i had instant flashbacks to winona ryder in reality bites. That is maybe my only real complaint with the show, too many look-alike/stereotypical type people. You have your joseph gordon-levitt/miles teller lead, Your eugene Levy dad, sally field mom, jonah hill stoner mate, ray wise could easily be getty, 90210 tory spelling misty etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
