No. Watch it from the start as they tend to have an over lapping plot. The 1st series is probably the best too! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and also it's an utterly fantastic show, so missing the first few seasons is a travesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yep, thought the first episode was good fun, though saw the twist coming as i) it was far too unsubtle at hinting at what it was hinting at, ii) it's mercurio, it's what he likes to do. In my binge rewatch in the weeks before this, I forgot how good some of the early stuff is, though I think season 4 was a level below the first 3, albeit still good fun.

Seat68 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The thing with Line of duty is that it isnt slow, you get so much in an episode, fantastic stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Santa Clarita Diet Season 3 Really enjoying this season so far, up to episode 5. Joel has to be one of my all time favourite characters from anything. One of the most consistently funny shows I’ve seen and still fairly underrated imo. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only one episode in, I echo what you say though love it. Great cast and I love how they discuss mundane things when killing people, very funny.

Yeah same. Although I think it's because like you suggest, we expect the twists now so it makes it easier to spot. Love that Stephen Graham is in this series. Can only make it better. I still think the acting from the main cast is quite ropey in Line of Duty. But it doesn't seem to matter, it's still a brilliant show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Graham was really good in the episode, particular in some of his unspoken scenes. As for the main cast, I always remain astonished, Martin Compston is Scottish. I mean, I know he's an actor, but I just assumed he was a londoner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep as recommended I've started right from the first series, I've only seen a few episodes and the acting has been a bit wooden so far except for the guy from Snatch. I'll definitely stick with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) The Jill Dando programme. Erstwhile VTer Gringo (I'm guessing his liver exploded on a beach near Barcelona) would have been live tweeting that.

mjmooney Posted April 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2019 The wife has just watched GlowUp - Britain's Next Makeup Star. I feel like I've been asleep and woken up in some bizarre Blade Runner style future. Or a Gervais pisstake. Is this really what passes for a TV show? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Managed to binge watch Das Boot ( series on sky Atlantic not the film) over the past few days i enjoyed it and not just for the token lesbian storyline , be interesting to see what they do with season 2 being depth charged is high on my list of things I never want to experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the original series, but a friend whose judgement I trust tells me that this one - although it has good action scenes - is pretty inferior. I'd want to watch the old one first, and I don't know when I'd find the time (given that the missus won't want to watch it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shame I’ve not seen the original (I really ought to ) but it’s based more on events after the original film , sorta two stories , one on the sub and one on land with a French resistance storyline ... I’d recorded it months ago and could never really get motivated to push play ... once I did then I did the whole thing in 2 nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Enjoyed Deutschland 86. Not as good as the first session but hope we don’t have to wait as long for the next series. You’d imagine there’s only one more series left in it now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
