Its a bizarre comedy whodunnit set in a fictional town in Tasmania. I found it funny , it wont be everyones cup of tea though and there is a lot of swearing but I found it funny rather than offensive. I wasn’t sure at first but glad I kept going with it. Deadloch is bonkers 😂 Yet I watched it all and (think) I enjoyed it! It’s one of those that you’ll either hate or sort of enjoy. Just finished Baby Reindeer and enjoyed that. Based on a true story of a comedian that ends up being stalked by someone he was kind to. Written by and main character acted by the guy who was the victim. Worth a watch.

Fairbairn Posted Tuesday at 08:44 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:44 AM (edited) Watched 3 episodes (of 7) of Baby Reindeer on Netflix last night. It's based on the true story of a Scottish comedian who was stalked by a woman down in London. The guy it's based on plays the lead role as a version of himself and it's been brilliant if very uncomfortable in places so far. The actress the plays the stalker is unbelievably good in it. Everything I've read has said episode 4 is one of the most uncomfortable episodes of any TV show in years so looking forward to that at lunch time! *Alexa, show me an example of someone not reading the post above.....🙄 Edited Tuesday at 08:45 AM by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it a watch when back from holiday. Finished The Gentlemen. Meh. Was a bit better than I thought as I am not a Guy Ritchie fan . Watchable but for me also instantly forgettable.

I thought The Gentlemen started quite well bit soon got a bit boring and think I'd lost track of what was happening by the end. I'd probably watch a second season if there was one but won't lose any sleep if there isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some decent individual performances throughout , and it was quite funny at times , the episode with the travelling community was good. But like you say , wouldn’t lose any sleep if it wasnt renewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundsKeeper Posted Tuesday at 09:52 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:52 AM Was really disappointed with the Gentleman. It went down hill after the chicken dance scene. Was rooting for the brother to killed as he was so annoying. Load of pooh, series 2 - no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it ended as strongly as it started but still very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted yesterday at 12:30 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 PM Just finished watching The Wire. Watched it many years ago. A superb drama. Enjoying watching Ripley at the moment and the guy playing the lead role is very unlikeable so it probably excellent acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wire is my favourite show by a distance I've probably watched it through at least 3, maybe 4 times now. Might be due a another go soon.
