It’s a dirtier/sleazier version of Spiral, complete with an even dirtier looking female officer Braquo is superb, have mentioned it on here a few times beforw. Eddy Caplan is the best anti-hero in TV history. If you like Braquo check out the movie Rogue City on Netflix. Like a feature length episode of Braquo - very very dark.

Jim Beem Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Zero Zero Zero is well worth a watch as well. Cocaine smuggling stuff written by the same bloke that wrote Gomorrah. Excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Polisse a few years ago which was better though. IMO. About the Child Protection Police in Paris, pretty grim stuff but an excellent film.

Fairbairn Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 3 episodes in and really enjoying The Queens Gambit. It’s about a female chess protege in the 50s and a lot more entertaining than the subject matter suggests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely can’t think of a more attractive redhead Have been watching this after reading about in on here previously. I am enjoying it though I am only a few episodes in. I like the pace. Fast enough to keep you interested but not jumping all over the place like some other programmes. Being a red head myself I would suggest a young Nicole Kidman was perhaps prettier, but I would gladly swap my face and body with either of them 😕 On 12/31/2020 at 4:06 PM, dan cake said: Death to 2020 Utter shite, I’m guessing it’s aimed at an American audience. Charlie Brookers stuff usually very good but this is awful Thanks for saving me from watching it. Was going to give it a go as it was Charlie Brooker. Have just finished Black Mirror which was great. I felt the earlier episodes were better but not sure whether its because I had become more familiar with the concept by the time I watched the last series.

I didnt think she looked thin at all in those pics, my good sturdy legs might be an attractive quality after all 🙂 I just remembered Audrey Fleurot was in The Intouchables. That is a great film for anyone who hasnt seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I've read it about 4-5 times now, the most recent being just before Covid came along! I always felt it would be better as a trilogy of films and think that was what was originally planned. Not sure why it changed to a series. From watching the trailer it looks like they've taken some artistic license with a few of the characters too. Stil, it has to be better than the awful 90s mini series with Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the original min series 😂😂😂 Gary Sinise is brilliant as Stu, although don’t know how well it’s aged. Mind watching in on Sky as a kid and being scared of the crows walking to school on a Monday morning haha. Aye the book is brilliant, might be a good time to read it again.

morrie21 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Night Stalker on Netflix is a very well done true crime documentary based on the case in Southern California in 1985. 4 episodes. Very disturbing content as the crimes are discussed in detail by the cops who were working the case back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I noticed any particularly bad acting Tidy but I'll take your word for it 👍 On another note I'm glad I persisted with the West Wing, seasons 4 & 5 were outstanding and I have thoroughly enjoyed it without rushing home to see the next one if that makes sense.
