I watched the first episode, counted all the cliches and marvelled at the awful acting and then decided it wasn't for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of a certain age, it's like Doomwatch crossed with The Sweeney. And it's pretty obvious that, with the 'five years' thing, they've got an eye on further series, therefore this one will not have any resolution. I'll probably see it through though.

theboyangel Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Absolutely loving season 5 of Ray Donovan. Episode 8 - Horses was a really emotional tough watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see the bits pinched from other shows and even anime, thrown in the 80s goonies setting. 9.5/10 Definitely anime. The very first scene is...well, not ripped straight out of Elfen Lied (seeing as the monster or eleven isn't tearing people apart), but it is very similar.

Rugeley Villa Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Really getting into blacklist now. A few people said after 4 or 5 of them they become all the same and predictable. I was starting to feel that way too, but then it started getting interesting again near the end of series 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up to date and watching series 5. Its good... probably doesn't warrant 80 odd episodes so far but its an easy watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit disappointing at first imo, but actually turned out to be a really good season. Slower and more emotional, but writing and acting top notch as always. looking forward to the next one being in NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have just the final two to do over the weekend. agree it was a slower tempo but brilliantly written with the past and present intertwined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Not a show as such but having recently acquired HBO GO and Netflix my world has been opened to such wonders... ..I've watched 2 episodes of Grand Designs and the Inbetweeners.

villa4europe Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I love grand designs! 2 problems with it though because of working in the industry, first is the people who think they can give project management or the money side of it a go, you can't...6 years at uni and 10 years experience to "give it a go", part of me actually likes it when it goes wrong The other is they tend to exaggerate how cutting edge some of the stuff Is, they're using a material that's rarely used because they're so forward thinking and cutting loads of money and time out because they're so clever...No mate I used them 7/8 years ago, it's not common because it's a bit shit... It's a shame at times they don't go more in to the construction world, even if it was just the murky world of planning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just finished the documentary series Time: The Kalief Browder Story on Netflix. Harrowing, disturbing, infuriating, tragic, utterly compelling. Although the name rang a bell, I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know much about this story. This series seems to have slipped under the radar somewhat but it’s essential viewing in my opinion. It’s a story that needs to be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Spoiler Cant believe they killed Sean beans charchter so early. Only him and the midget are the only two charchters I care anything about. Don't see how it's going to keep me entertained now. Have to say I give credit to that little shit king actor. He has made me hate him and want him to die a painful death! Game of thrones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tried Black Mirror, being as everyones raving and it's got like 98% on Netflix. Thought the first episode was absolute shite, completely unbelievable on all levels and can't even understand the point / statement it was trying to make. Do I bother with the next one?
