I am on the series Gyp Rosetti arrives , he is great in the part of utter psychopath but every time someone rubs him up the wrong way I feel sick to the stomach as you just know it isn’t going to end well . Think Kelly McDonald is excellent in it and I have been a critic of her acting in some shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really like all those characters too. Stephen Graham is a great actor, I dont think I have actually saw him in anything bad. The other 2 characters are pretty complex which make them interesting. Funnily enough I saw the first episode of The Split on a flight a few years ago and quite enjoyed it but never picked it up when I got back. Might give it a go, I need something a bit more mainstream to balance off all this blood and gore 😁 I am watching Breaking Bad for the second time and enjoying it again. Talking of flights, the most unexpected enjoyment I have had was watching The Intouchables, french comedy film. Have mentioned it a few times on here. Best 2 hours i have spent on a plane.

Glad I stuck with it , some characters annoyed me a bit but I generally enjoyed it in the end. My husband thought it was a load of sentimental bollocks right enough.

Breaking Bad i always found too dark ; several failed attempts to get into it - i do like Better call Saul though = just finished the 4 part Netflix docuseries on D B Cooper - a story i knew a little about ; but pretty fascinating how deep some americans get into it = the series never really puts forward the theory (accepted by many) that he likely never survived the jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually a bit topical, Greenland have discovered oil and want independence! Will check out that DB Cooper programme, my daughters fiancé is watching it and is enjoying it too. Interesting that you like Better Call Saul but not Breaking Bad. I cant imagine what it would be like watching it without having seen Breaking Bad. I suppose since its a prequel its not actually confusing in any way. Honest tae fook I sound like Barry Norman. I do actually have a life beyond box sets and posting shit on here 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did chuckle when she told me the song the guy accused of killing his wife chose to play at the very end of it was apparently "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen!!

(true story) Yes , saw it few months back very good ; bit dark ( obviously) but prefer that to blockbuster cgi stuff like midway / pearl harbo(u)r / and that tom hanks - greyhound one i understand there is a new mega series being filmed at moment by the band of brothers mob ; masters of the sky/air ? Usaaf bomber crews in england - listened to a podcast by a writer - but he couldnt say much logically/ hopefully they will eventually do a naval one an allied ‘das boot’ Reboot ?
