The Night Agent - for some reason I kept going with this. I have just finished episode 8 and have lost the will to live.Still another 2 to go. Talk about stretching things out. Its a run of the mill American hero type show with the obligatory beautiful couple in lead roles. Bad acting and forgettable plot. 11 hours ago, vanderark14 said: The diplomat on Netflix.

TDYER63 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Watched ‘Payback’ on STV. Set in Edinburgh. It was actually ok. Not ‘brilliant’ but felt it was worth watching. Most things that Peter Mullen is in are ok at worst . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The Lincoln Lawyer is a relatively easy watch. Fans of Bosch will probably quite enjoy it although it’s nowhere near as edgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Bodies on Netflix with Stephen Graham is pretty underwhelming. The same dead body is found in the same location across 4 different time lines and it jumps back and forth across the 4 time lines as they each try to solve the case. It's painfully slow and nowhere near as smart as it seems to think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana actress very good as was Charles - I've never really liked Imelda Staunton tho but am sure she did a fine job ; Jonathan Pryce pulls of a passable Duke as most actors seemed to do took my son to see Napoleon last night - so looking fwd to it - huge bore i thought - ashamed to say i enjoyed the new hunger games recently with my daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Just finished Union with David Olusoga... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0gd25kn Thought it was a pretty fair synopsis of the last 400 years and how they have shaped the current state of the British Isles. Olusoga seems like a decent bloke, although I found the way he pronounces "Union" a bit annoying, which isn't ideal given the number of times he says it!

I'm not really sure why I'm still watching it. Think I'm at episode 5 and at best I've got a loose handle on what's going on. And Stephen's Graham's posh accent takes me straight out of it every time he talks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 We are halfway through season 1 of Kin on iplayer, very good so far 👍 Irvine Welsh’s Crime was a mixed bag for me. Some good moments of humour and a decent cast but I did get fed up with scenes of Dougray Scott in tears looking as though he was trying to push out a mahoosive jobby! Mrs S liked it though so we stuck with it until it’s inevitable conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Finished Snowfall earlier in the week. Cracking show and up there with some of my favourites. Highly recommended. Started Kin last night and quite enjoyed it, although I could see the ending of E1 coming a mile off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacked Bodies off halfway through the 6th episode. Was watching it and realised I didn't have a clue what was going on, and didn't care enough to go back and find out. One of the most disappointing shows I've watched in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Watched the whole series of The Serial Kllers Wife last night, excellent stuff only just over 3 hours in its entirety so it cracks along at a fair pace. Clever without taking liberties 9 out of 10 from Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
