King of Thieves: yet another version of The Hatton Garden robbery, but made very enjoyable by an ensemble cast of Michael Caine, Tom Courtney, Jim Broadbent, Michael Gambon, Ray Winstone, Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Cox.

I did laugh out loud a few times.

Too Old Too Die Young

Nicholas Winding Refn's show on Amazon. If you like his stuff then you know what to expect.

Just started watching preacher looks interesting.

Good Omens was brilliant. They didn’t fuck it up at all. Sheen and Tenant were perfect.

John Mackenzie's powerful prison biopic about habitual Scottish gaolbird Jimmy Boyle, A Sense Of Freedom, is now on Prime.

Darkmatter series 3 is now on prime all good

The Upside.

A remake of a film about a true story...sigh.

Bryan Cranston as the wheel-chair bound rich man, Nicole Kidman as his Smithers and...Kevin Hart as the newly hired 24-hour care bod.

It's surprisingly good and decently engaging considering the concept. Hart amazingly manages to tone down his comedy shtick so it only appears at dramatically appropriate moments. Opera and weed are involved, and lots of nice cars.

I watched the first two episodes last night, thought it was great!

Just started The Boys and it is interesting for sure. It is sort of annoying (characters) but the comparisons to modern celebrity status and such is good regardless.

Generation Wealth — a documentary about the cultural worship of wealth. It’s really very good.

Watched first ep of The Boys. What's with Urban's accent?

 

[chandlerp]

It's terrible and gets worse, learn to ignore it

i read the comic books some years ago & enjoyed the series (watched it in three nights)

seemed to me to capture how butcher sounds in the comic books

Also loving The Boys

 

[PursuedByBears]

I've also read the comics and (up to E3) Hughie is completely wrong so far. Also I've just remembered about The Female and how problematic/shit this character was. I really hate Mark Miller.

Well on Ep 4 of The Boys and still loving it.

Not 100% sold on Karl Urban’s British accent though

Just finished The Boys. Really, really fucking good. As good as any superhero genre series in the last decade, and for me significantly more gripping and compelling, and often just plain better than much of the output both Marvel and DC have churned out.

Aside from the very good storyline it manages just about a perfect balance between dark comedy, drama, action, character development and last but not least pace. I've always rated Seth Rogen as a writer but this was on another level.

Garth Ennis?

I loved True Faith and that other one he wrote for Crisis.

He's always been one to skewer the hypocrisy of religion. I think if the gang who hassled Netflix (lol) to remove Good Omens watched The Boys, they'd have a meltdown.

Also loving The Boys

Finished it last night, what a great series. I want more, so much more!

Gonna watch last 2 eps tonight, can't wait. The "bad" superhero has been done before (Watchmen, Super, Chronicle) but not as effective as this.

 

[donkyboy]

da boyz is excellent. the bloke who plays homelander kept bugging me. So googled it and found he played the sheriff in Banshee. defo my favourite character on the show.

The Quaid kid is a decent actor as well. I'm surprised this is his first big-ish role.

Shades of Miracleman and Zenith in the last couple of eps, which is no bad thing. Def looking fwd to next season.

Just got Amazon free with EE for 6 months. Fuck, there's a lot of bad low-budget 70s/80s horror flicks on there. For now, I am getting through S3 of Fear the Walking Dead.

Enjoyed The Boys. Not perfect, but a lot of fun and I liked a lot of the characters.
