sne Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Anyone watched Dark Tourist on Netflix? Documentary series where 2 New Zealander's visits a bunch of "alternative" macabre tourism destinations. Sounds interesting as long as it isn't too "Jackass" and "cool bro!"

Got to agree with @HanoiVillan - it was quite boring. Save your time and watch Anthony Bourdain instead - far more interesting and watchable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2 out of 2 VT vores against it I'm going to give it a miss. really liked Bourdain, although I found it a bit annoying how he found every single thing he ate tasty.

The final episodes of AB's Parts Unknown start on September 23rd. Kenya, Manhattan (Lower East Side,) Indonesia, Spain (Asturias Region,) & Texas. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/08/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown-final-season-cnn Quote Unlike previous seasons, which comprised 8-10 episodes, Parts Unknown’s final chapter will run for only 7. The first episode, which finds Bourdain traveling to Kenya with his CNN colleague W. Kamau Bell,was the only one completed before Bourdain’s death. Four others—set in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Indonesia, Spain’s mountainous Asturias region, and Texas’s “Big Bend” area, which borders Mexico—completed filming. The directors who filmed those episodes will oversee their completion, using audio Bourdain gathered during filming as well as follow-up interviews with others involved in shooting the episodes. The final two episodes of the season will abandon the usual format entirely: instead of focusing on a location, they will serve as a retrospective of the series itself. The penultimate episode, the Timesreports, will offer fans a behind-the-scenes look at how Parts Unknownwas made, complete with outtakes and interviews with Bourdain’s cast and crew. And the series finale will turn its lens toward, as Entelis put it, “how Tony affected the world”—with reactions from fans as well as Bourdain’s friends and travel buddies, some of whom we’ve met on Parts Unknown over the years. Capturing Bourdain’s legacy will be quite a feat—but faced with the near-insurmountable task, it seems CNN is prepared to honor its star as well as anyone could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the ads for it get me a little choked up. I’m not usually at all bothered when celebs die but for some reason his seems to get to me. I think because of our personal connection to the show and his unique mix of confidence mixed with fallibility culminated in suicide. So much tv/media screams “don’t go out there - it’s bad and terrible and people will eat your organs for a dollar.” AB went out and said where ever you are and where ever you’re from, people sit down to eat together and talk - from that you can have great times and sometimes life changing experiences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_75 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Anyone watching Mayans M.C.? I'm two episodes in and still undecided. I'm a big SOA fan but this seems like a more violent and sweary rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his travel program was probably my favorite one since the old Michael Palin ones from back in the 80's and 90's I really should go back and watch those Palin docs again. I saw them as a small kid, and I knew Palin first as a TV traveller, so it came as a bit of a shock to me that he was famous for all this other stuff. I well remember seeing him standing in some sort of supermarket in Vladivostok and looking glum, and that seeming impossibly exotic and that I wanted to travel around the world as well, so I guess that was maybe a tiny bit formative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Ghoul - Netflix 3 part series Indian horror. Very good, enjoyed it a lot. Good use of build up, is quite restrained in that it doesn’t just throw scares at you non stop and has a decent amount of gore chucked in as well. Interesting story about intolerance and culture purging mixed in with creepy old ancient Arabic folklore. 8/10. Recommended 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted September 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2018 I watched the first episode of Killing Eve last night on BBC1. I thought it was a blast and looking forward to watching the entire series on iPlayer (it's on there already :)). Comedy, tragedy and thrills, this spy series has it all - The Guardian Review ...there is the snapping, crackling script – the perfect command of comedy and tragedy, and the turns to and from each, the approach to every moment that is just 10 degrees off centre and characters so fully developed that even the second-stringers can pull off self-reflexive jokes. When Eve’s off-book investigations come to light, her boss (the wonderful David Haig being customarily wonderful) notes: “You could get into a lot of trouble if I was a serious man.’ .

Hornso Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Finished Westworld s2. I still enjoyed the season and thought half the episodes were great but can see why people have checked out. Reading episode recaps and listening to theories on podcasts is a lot of work just to follow along with a TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite decide - we also just watched the first episode, and planning to continue on iPlayer. It's certainly different - closer to James Bond as reinterpreted by French and Saunders, rather than the more usual Le Carré style approach. But I do think it's maybe trying too hard to be 'quirky'. We shall see.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
