Farcity Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I recommend Undercover on Amazon prime. It's Bulgarian but very watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh programmes with subtitles have generally been better than most things I have watched in English over the past few months, I can add Bulgaria to my TV viewing passport as I work my way around the world. I still canny speak a word in any of the languages right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to be my favourite thing for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farcity Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Not exactly visionary but if you haven't seen Borgen then it's well worth watching too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just finished season 1 of 'You' on Netflix and found it very watchable 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just finished Dublin Murders, 8 parter about a murdered teenager which jumps back and forth between 2006 and 1984. The best detectives are always flawed and the two leads don’t disappoint, well worth a watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just finished the latest episode of 'For all mankind'. It's an alternative history of the USA v Soviet space race. Made by AppleTV. Decent watch...well acted. But it tries too hard to push the 'culture wars' political agenda. Not so subtle references to Trump's border wall... Heavy on the feminism... Addresses toxic masculinity.... Homophobia.... It's all there. @thplinth... you'd fucking love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helped by the fact that some of the characters have different names in 2006 than they did in 1984!! I'm just about following it but the missus is floundering!

My attention span has gone with it. I laboured on through the third. Hard keeping up with the different names as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy with the paint tin, the guy that fucked off the Berlin and the lookie likey lassie (although I think that'll be explained in the next one).

I finished the episode where the guy with the paint tin met the car on that country road. I swear he is that polis guy and the lassie in the car is his polis pal. My Wife says no. I even rewound it and paused it on his pus. I say it’s the polis guy(Rob/Adam) with a heavy beard. Actually, this is the second episode. I still have the third to start.

Orraloon Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I can't be bothered with these shows that think they have to jump back and forward in time just to make it "interesting". If the story isn't good enough to be told in chronological order, why fukin bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about a robbery at the spanish Royal Mint and it flits back and forth from current day at the robbery , to the months of planning that took place prior to the robbery. Its pretty clever and the format works well. Its definitely worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted to head to DCA’s for the screening but I’ll sit tight. Watched it in 3 parts and finished it last night. Would rate it 8. The acting was brilliant and I enjoyed it over 3 parts but feel I would have become a bit bored if I had watched it in one go. The last half hour or so showed the sad reality of getting old, I am not sure what it says about me that I found that more upsetting than most of the murders. I found it quite nostalgic. The 1950’s music that played during the credits at the end reminded me of Happy Days. I cant believe that when I watched that tv show in the 70’s , that music genre was only 2O years old . Its like the equivalent of listening to Oasis now. Bloody depressing to be so old 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
