I feel like it was a bit lame because it was made by Leeds and they probably didn’t want everyone laughing at them, but the best bits about last season were the parts where they became the laughing stock. Ie: They didn’t show the Derby fans singing the Frank Lampard song at the end of the play-off semis, or the Derby players doing the ‘binocular hands’, or even mention that Villa went on to get promoted. Another thing that annoyed me, was the constant reference to this great great great great club and all their great fans and their great history and togetherness and love and whatever other bullshit they tried to project. Oh well, the ending was good. Lots of crying Leeds fans and players while some shite Leeds song plays over the top. If it wasn't for the fact that I know it all goes tits up I don't think I'd be persisting with it. First two episode was just a massive group wank about how great Leeds are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like Strange Things but yet to catch the latest series. Second this. The Night Of is really good. Probably the best first episode of any show ever. (actually Chernobyl might have won that title now) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2019 Having complimented GLOW a number of times, gotta say I'm 4 episodes into Season 3 and it's quite shit at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just finished Dark on Netflix. It's good, quite unusual storyline but it's interesting. I'll start season two soon. Hearing good things about 'The Boys' too so might watch that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted August 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2019 I watched Save Me on Sky Atlantic. I guess you'd call it a gritty drama. Great performance by Lennie Jones but he was eclipsed by Stephen Graham who just steals every scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2019 Finished Escape from Dannemora the other week. It's fantastic up until the last couple of episodes, where I think it kind of tails off disappointingly. Definitely worth a watch though. I hadn't actually heard of it despite the plaudits it has received, I just stumbled across it on Sky Box Sets, so it was a pleasant surprise. Has one of the most uncomfortable scenes I've seen in a while in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2019 4 episodes in to Mindhunter and it's excellent still. Was surprised they went to the Dean Corll case, but given where the series' focus is headed it fits, and because of what happened with Corll the interview associated has a very different bent. The Berkowitz interview was well done although made a little a more theatrical and tone shifted - in reality they confronted him more bluntly and he basically appeared to want to please the agents once they made it clear they weren't messing around. Only downsides so far have been the story with Tench's family, I don't like where that story is headed and it feels tacked on, and the relationship stuff with Carr feels they want to give her a wider character but to no real purpose (yet). But very good overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted August 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just watching The One Show previewing the new Dad's Army - The Lost Episodes. In the clips so far Pike is not wearing a Villa scarf. I shall not be watching* out of principle * I will, I love Dad's Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Probably not one many will watch unless don’t mind reading subtitles. But Sacred Games is pretty impressive although hard to understand what’s going on at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2019 Finished Mindhunter series 2. Really excellent. They handled the ambiguity around the the main case quite well and how it ultimately was both a victory and a failure, and an exceptionally difficult matter to deal with. I still don't like the story with Tench's family. I know why it's there, it does serve a purpose, but it's so unbelievable and on the nose it sticks out like a sore thumb in a series that is heavily, heavily based on actual events. It fleshes out the personal impact of the work the agents do, and it starts to ask questions of impact of the research they've done and what it actually means. But it's so unbelievable and not terribly compelling. But overall the series is excellent again. And it does continue the BTK plot nicely, being much more overt about him, what made him tick. He's a very, very interesting case, and the series will have to make a decision in how they end the story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted August 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2019 The only issue I have with Mindhunter is the fact that in literally every scene outside the buildings at Quantico, you can hear someone firing off an automatic weapon in the background. Surely they don't use the ranges there 24/7? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
