Starts off a bit cheesy and weird but by the end I have to admit I was hooked. Oh and the main character reminds me of a young Dennis Reynolds... which actually fits the plot quite nicely I liked it too, it is a bit trashy and everyone is implausibly good-looking but the ending genuinely surprised me (well not so much the very last scene, but the conclusion of the main storyline) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the show managed to make me change my mind and then be surprised all over again when he did kill her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought was very good , mad story I binged through this in one sitting, finished at 1am! Wowsers, what a story. Bat shit crazy or criminal masterminds? Both I guess.

Hornso Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Binged watched You with the better half over the past few days. Really enjoyed it, but started to drift out of it after watching the 6th episode in a row so probably need to go back and re-watch the last couple. I did have to google how much a first version of Wuthering Heights was worth though...last sale was in 2007 for £114,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Finished the first season of The Deuce. It's just okay. Some good acting and set design but there's no interesting overall story arc and it's just a lot of random events happening in each episode. I won't be rushing out to watch season two. Killing Eve is the next series on my list to watch. I also watched They Shall Not Grow Old the WWI documentary. It's interesting and gives a good account of the harrowing nature of WWI that's often forgotten. The conditions those men lived in on the front lines weren't fit for rats.

sne Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 HBO looking strong for this year. True Detective on Jan 13th, and then GOT and Watchmen later in the year. Video contains a tiny clip from the final season of GOT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video contains a tiny clip from the final season of GOT I'm still fundamentally opposed to a Watchmen sequel, let alone one not involving Alan Moore, but the brief clips there look alright. Jeremy Irons as an old Veidt (have they confirmed that yet?) is inspired casting. Hopefully their Rorschach replacement can hold to a candle to one of the best comic characters ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a go at watching it from the start at some stage. Yeah you definitely need to watch from the start to get the history with Alice and Luther 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual murder part of it was good enough to hold my attention anyway even if I didn't know what the **** was going on in the rest of it.

sne Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyone bothered watching Surviving R.Kelly? Not going to bother I think, but he seem like a proper rocket polisher by all accounts. Dave Chappelle was spot on back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzavfc Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Watched the C4 Brexit show last night. Obviously a lot was changed for tv drama purposes but it really showed how Remain just didn't have a clue what to do. The focus group scene was brilliant and summed it up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
