Is it any good? Being a stereotypical big rabid Hun I started watching it a couple of weeks ago. It's actually better than I expected it to be so far (although I've only watched about 4 or 5 in that time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCTA Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 For the third time I began Breaking Bad. I gave it a chance this time. Very glad I did. I completed the first season last night. Each episode gets better and better. What a thoroughably likeable character the main dude Walter is. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I've parked the west wing at mid season 4 and this season has been the best so far. It's parked for S3 of Yellowstone which is excellent 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm all three are unadulterated fuckin drivel! Apologies for the harsh lingo but I feel like I wasted half a fuckin week on this shit. I shall check in for some TAMB good cheer from Las Canarias next week, oh and to have a laugh at Brassrubber 🤣 Sorry Slasher but I have been watching Schitts Creek and find it very funny 😁 First couple of episodes I wasnt too sure, but am glad I stuck with it. I like that the episodes are short so its something you can watch if you dont have much time. I do think it is probably a marmite comedy right enough. I am also enjoying The West Wing more and glad I stuck with that too. Last night I thought I would try and find something from regular TV so googled ‘ best festive TV programmes. These were the programmes that came up. What a load of utter schitt. Strictly Come Dancing, The Great British Bake Off, The Masked Singer, Call the Midwife, Mary Berry Saves Xmas, Wurzel Gummidge, Birds of a Feather , Mrs Browns Boys. It is like they have invented a fookin Brexit Christmas and taken us all back to the 70’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be extremely unlikable and that is part of the reason I enjoyed it. Every time you thought he was going to do the selfless good thing he didn't - so unlike most main characters. I loved how all the charators developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Tim Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Anybody watched Home for Christmas? Norwegian Netflix series of 30 minute episodes. Really enjoyed it - very funny. Best watched with subtitles on rather than dubbed. Recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Can anyone explain how The Witcher has a score of 8.2 on IMDB? 🤨😲 Even when you look at the individual scores there seem to be significantly more 1/10 or 2/10 than high scores. It is obviously the Mrs Brown's Boys of fantasy series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please dont tell me you can sing as well or I may have to put you on ignore. I am on a roll this week 😁 I am only on season 1 but Moira is great.

vanderark14 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Season 5 of billions. Not great after 3 episodes but Wags keeps it entertaining. Schitts creek was ok, my wife loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The new adaption of "Black Narcicuss" is utter rubbish. Not a patch on Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's haunting 1947 film. Why not take a trip to the sleepy town of Twin Peaks if you have never journeyed there before ....

Watch the 1947 film after you've watched the modern series The difference in the acting standards (Deborah Kerr and Kathleen Byron were incredible in their roles), the eerie atmosphere, the direction and the sexual tension is night and day.

I watched about 4 episodes before realising the father and son in it are father and son in real life and wrote and produced it. Before that I had been thinking to myself ‘ they have done a great job casting this and getting 2 people with those big black eyebrows to play father and son ‘ 🙄 Funnily enough I didnt like Billions. It really should have been a programme I was interested in given the subject, but I just didnt like Damian Lewis in that role and could not get past that. Its really popular though.

Damian lewis is the worst of the main cast. Wags, Taylor,Chuck, chucks dad and wendy are great characters and good actors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
