Farcity Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Finally finished series 4 of Gomorrah, excellent viewing and a fantastic ending. Getting all gooey here but Gennaros missus is scorchio. Anybody watched zerozerozero? Based on a book by Saviano and has good ratings. Starting on Fauda series 3, I thought the first two series were excellent and this is shaping up nicely too.

I think the flats deserve to be knocked down, it might've been a good idea at the time but it looks pretty horrendous in the series, a lot of the areas in the filming look pretty grim in fact. Ultras, i added it to my list having watched the trailer, I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Finished Ozark S3. Enjoyed it overall although was a bit bored with the brother in law story arc by the end and seen the ending combing a mile away. Probably the weakest of the 3 seasons so far but still watchable.

morrie21 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Apologies if this has already been mentioned here but I recently started watching Bosch on Amazon Prime and I must say it is very good. Friend in America recommended it to me and his advice has been bang on. There are 6 seasons, I have just started on season 3. Thoroughly enjoyable so far.

Fish Supper Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just started to watch Tales from the loop on amazon prime. Really enjoying it and the settings are great. Filmed mostly in and around Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Not seen it mentioned here but the reboot of Twilight Zone on SyFy is worth a watch. Some episodes better than others but quite good overall and Jordan Pelé seems the right fit to bring it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The last dance on Netflix, documentary about the 90’s Chicago Bulls team is brilliant and I’m not a basketball fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Started watching Downton Abbey which me and Mrs Slasher had kind of dismissed previously as 'not our kind of thing.' Put quite simply it is fuckin magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Finally watched Tiger King. Anyone else thinking the real bad guy in all of that was the Carol Baskin character. It was like watching the grifter Olympics but where they are competing for lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's excellent, looking forward to watching the next two episodes this afternoon. Jordan does come across as a bit of a bellend which I suppose you could argue you need to be in the position that he was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to go Carol Baskin first by a c(o)untry mile. And that ultra sap second husband she married after killing the one with all the money... I don't like to think what she and her law enforcement siblings did to him first to make him reveal where all his money was... Next that Doc Asswipe guy with the heap of wives. He got off lightly but no where near Baskin level evilness. Last the poor mental mulleted cunt who put himself on offer and gave them a free tv show. What an idiot! Of all of those despicable cunts he most obviously loved the animals... What a shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just finished watching The Mandalorian and thought it was decidedly average. I'm a big Star Wars fan, or at least I was in my younger years, but just didn't really get in to it. Some of it looked fantastic and the score was tremendous however I couldn't shake the feeling that it was like a higher budget version of Xena Warrior Princess or Legends of Hercules or one of those pishy Saturday afternoon shows.

robbo cop Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just got round to watching Peaky Blinders and Downtown Abbey which although very different, I am enjoying them both. Also just started watching Save Me, bit slow to start with but getting into a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found all the ‘king and country‘ and upper class poncing quite funny. Maggie Smith was brilliant as was Penelope Wilton. They were great together. I also liked the dresses 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrie21 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Maradona In Mexico on Netflix. Short documentary series following El Diego's time as manager of Mexican 2nd division side Dorados. Enjoyable viewing - seeing Maradona motivating a team of very average pros is very interesting viewing. Enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusmac Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Gangs of london is entertaining. Some great fight scenes....and nasty violence. Low titty count but 2 out of 3 isnt bad for series 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
