slasher Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I’ve been mildly amused by Ted Lasso on apple tv. Full disclosure though, at least some of my enjoyment has involved perving on Hannah Waddingham 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Watched the 2nd season of the Tourist last night meh, not sure it really needed to be made tbh. Not a spoiler but there’s nae way the Irish spanky bum guy is going to be pumping the fat Aussie lass it’s his memory he’s lost not his fucking eyesight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Watched the first series of The Traitors ( uk version) over the last week or so as I never saw it when it was originally released. I am not normally that keen on reality tv game format , The Apprentice for example has long lost its appeal for me, and am not a fan of Claudia Winkleman either , but I really enjoyed it and thought she was really good in it too. The format worked well and had enough twists to keep it interesting. It did the Scottish tourist industry little harm either. The setting and scenery were breathtaking at times. Not sure whether to watch the current series. With this type of programme sometimes its better to stop than risk it becoming repetitive and familiar .

slasher Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Fool Me Once (Netflix) really tries to be way too clever, with too many twists and irrelevant sub plots for my liking. Mrs Slasher and I were left wondering how we managed to stick with it for 8 episodes by the end 👎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started watching Fool Me...last night so I'll see how long we last. Mr Bates vs The Post Office is an excellent, if infuriating watch. The way those people were treated is criminal.

StirlingEgg Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Very much old hat but 3 absolute classic Columbos on today 😄 2 with Vito Scotti in them, playing great minor but hammy characters. He's the baker in the Godfather too, brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a few exceptions. I enjoyed the second series too, I thought the ending was good , but agree it wasn’t as good as the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) True Detective Series 4 is now on Sky. Has received good ratings. Loved the first couple of series. Edited January 15 by EddardStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Fool me Once certainly didn't fool me. It really was poor. Terrible character placement. The whole army connection thing seemed very lazy and poorly thought out. Gave up after episode three.

Didn't enjoy second or third series as much but the first did set a high standard! The cast looks great, loved Christopher Eccleston in The Leftovers so hope he's a good character here too.

slasher Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The Morning Show starring Jennifer Anniston and Steve Carrell is very good. Well worth a look even if you only have a short term sub for Appletv 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Just finished season 5 of Fargo, pretty much in the same vain as the other seasons but enjoyable enough. Jon Hamm plays a good (bad) character well, Juno Temple and Jennifer Jason Leigh are excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I watched Fool Me Once to the end and I'm not really sure why. Given I watched the other Netflix/Harlan Coben series (The Stranger?) and it was of similar quality, the irony in the name of this one hasn't escaped me!

glasgow jock Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just finished the complete box set (that was a Christmas present) of the Soprano's - absolute perfection, if there has ever been a better series produced anywhere then I've got to see it.

The Wire and The Shield are just as good imo and if you can handle subtitles then I’d say Gomorrah and Narco’s are actually better. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul also won’t disappoint Edited January 18 by dan cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether to watch the current series. With this type of programme sometimes its better to stop than risk it becoming repetitive and familiar . Not sure what you decided but I'm watching the second series and enjoying it more than the first. Couple of little twists that have kept it interesting. Agree that it will probably fall away if there's a third or fourth series. I'm sure it's not everybody's cup of tea but if you enjoyed the first one I'd recommend watching the second one too. Watched a few things during and after Christmas. The best by far was Slow Horses which I thought was excellent, Gary Oldman is superb in it. Don't think I've seen it mentioned on here but it's definitely worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
