Amazing story though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Finished hip-hop evolution Its good don't get me wrong... But it just feels like they're skimming over the surface which is disappointing, they have some cracking interviewees and some of its a wasted opportunity because it can go deeper and they don't hard to know what season 4 will cover but they should revisit Dr dres resurgence and tag in Eminem, revisit Jay z and then bring in kanye Feels like there's a lot going on with people that they have already covered that are bow forgotten, nas for example, there's 2 episodes in this series that cover biggie and then new York underground scene, no mention on nas' career in either (or wu Tang etc) also slightly disappointed there was nothing on dmx or the fugees Edited September 29, 2019 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Z has not done anything unique and has always been a trend follower. If memory serves me correctly Nas and Wu Tang were in season 2 but perhaps could have devoted more time to Illmatic. I particularly enjoyed The New Guard episode which had a focus on Rakim, undoubtedly the greatest to pick up a mic and the Dirty South episode as it was great to see Organised Noise and Goodie Mobb get their due.

villa4europe Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The choice of music is obviously different to what people like but the format is good Reminds of the BBC 7 stages of rock documentary series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Probably been mentioned already but "Power" on Netflix. I saved it to my list ages ago but only just started watching it. It's like Topboy but more glamorous (in parts) with lots of nookie. Win-win ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also dumped other shows that people think are good. One episode of "Orange Is The New Black". 4 episodes of "Man In The High Tower". 2 episodes of Stranger Things season 2. I find them all un-gripping. Looking forward to the "Jack Reacher" TV series though, and I know for a fact the main character will NOT be an actor who is five foot six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 My god the last episode of Suits was one of the worst pieces of television I have ever seen. The acting was embarrassing, and the way they rushed the case was ridiculous. Such a good show that was dragged out for far too long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Godfather of harlem episode 1 is good American saga wu Tang episode 1 is very good (even if I dont know who everyone is) Only just caught up with it but the double eviction on bake off was outrageous, the Welsh and the weirdo woman were nowhere near as bad as the Asian and the blonde woman Edited October 4, 2019 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Forget all these high brow, heavy watching series. I had my first experience of RuPaul's Dragrace last night with the new UK series and it's amazing. Anyone who loves a bit of camp with loads of innuendos will love it. I'd seen bits and pieces of the American series before as my old housemates girlfriend used to be obsessed, but it seems to take itself a lot more seriously so I wasn't a fan. My favourite bit was when one was talking about Kim Woodburn and had to try and explain to RuPaul about her being a famous "cleaner off the telly" followed by an incredible impression that went straight over his head.

I stuck with it thinking something would redeem it story wise ..but nothing did , i did see it through to the end for a kind of closure though ... now I've just found out a 4th season starts in November .. So closure requires a whole new series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 4th and final season Great idea but I think they started it with no ending and don't know what to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2019 Two reviews of last night's "World on Fire" (BBC1). Spot the Brexiteer. Quote Nice to see the polish side of the story and how horrifying it all was. Glad the bbc used well known polish actors rather than British actors with accents. Lends an authenticity to proceedings. Well acted throughout and great to see heavyweights like Helen hunt and Sean bean and Lesley Manville in tv. Quote Why was the German in German your not making schindlers list We have to legally pay the BBC at least they could do is produce english speaking programmes Don't waste your time with this for a ww2 fix Watch band of brothers instead or again If peaky blinders spoke how they did then that would need sub titles but they manage to speak normal legible English Just proves how much of a joke bbc is.
