another shout out for Messiah, intriguing, almost perfect timing, watched it in a couple of sessions.

 

[1927]

Cheers, watched it last night.

I thought he was probably affected as much by the domestic abuse he witnessed and the inferred sexual assult, as the head trauma stuff although some of the videos of collisions from football games were like running into a brick wall head first.

Really interesting though, a very complex young man....and you don't need to know anything about or be interested in American football to watch it.

For a 3 hr documentary about someone id never heard of it was a great watch. At one point you think what a massive privileged twat he was, and by the end your opinion changes. Great tv.

I watched the first 3 series.

The first is pretty good, the second is OK, the third is fucking amazingly bad. Apparently it then gets better again and the last season's supposed to be good.

Finished season 6 last night. Season 3 was very poor but it improves again immediately with S4. Apart from the crap production of season 3, I just didn’t get a lot of it and most of the Belfast stuff was clearly filmed in the US. And why can’t they get Irish actors for Irish parts? In fairness, Hunnam’s American accent goes to shit in S6 too and he sounds Irish half the time.

It’s got flaws. Tara’s bullshit pregnancy was stupid and this is another one where thousands of rounds get fired without anyone getting hit unless it suits. And Samcro only numbers about half a dozen blokes. Any rival could take out the whole lot of them with a handgun.

There are a lot of good sub plots though and Jimmy Smits was a good surprise. Season 7 this weekend.

On the subject of SAMCRO, any thoughts on spin-off Mayans MC? Worth a watch?

Finished second season of Mindhunter, I think its one of the most absorbing series I've watched.

Looks like there may be no third series ‘Mindhunter’ Cast Released From Contracts, Season 3 Put on Hold

I've just read back through the episode guide to see if I could be arsed jumping back in. I'd forgotten Stephen King turns up in it. And Sonny Barger; though that's probably not as surprising.

I think I'll wait until I'm really desperate for something to watch.

Doomsday Preppers.

These people are insane. I had to stop watching during episode 3. They're a danger to themselves and everyone else, and animals.

One guy, in texas I think, has built a rock-solid house and filled it with everything. If anything happens then the 6 year old son...his job is to sit outside the front door with a sniper rifle and shoot anyone who approaches whilst other family members patrol the area outside the house at the same time with weapons. 6 years old.

18 episodes, apparently. Jaw-dropping stuff.

Texans in 'batshit crazy, gun toting fuckwits' shocker.

 

[Orang Utan]

Uncut Gems is up there now. Thoroughly recommended. An actual good Adam Sandler movie, but fucking hell it’s a nerve wracking experience

 

[mango5]

AJ and the Queen. Lightweight and entertaining odd couple road trip where almost everyone outshines Rupaul. He's a great drag performer, and there's plenty of that, but his acting is good at best. The kid is fantastic.

 

[Spymaster]

On the subject of SAMCRO, any thoughts on spin-off Mayans MC? Worth a watch?

I'll give it a go. Expect it to be more of the same but it only seems to be available as a pay option on Amazon Prime at the moment.

Have you seen The Shield? Same universe at SOA and Mayans MC...

Not really. I started watching it but dropped out after 1 or 2 episodes. I'll give it a go again at some point as I realise it's highly recommended.

I rate the Shield a lot more than SOA

 

[blairsh]

The Shield is excellent

yes, but (as i said to spy) use iplayer

 

[Reno]

I found The Shield the most compelling drama series of the previous decade. It never dropped the ball and the ending was perfect.

 

[T & P]

Last ever episode of The Good Place our tonight- nearly three times as long as a normal one at just under an hour, and rather poignant and a bit sad but a fitting ending to it.

 

[Idris2002]

Uncut Gems - New York fucking City, baby.

 

[OneStrike]

Yea, Uncut Gems. Sandler acts the cunt suprisingly well, the cunt.

Greatest fucking city in the world, baby!

It's dreadful isn't it but also rather marvellous and I watched it all

I love a bit of Doomsday Preppers. They are absolutely batshit.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Just started Ragnarok.

I'll say no more

 

[T & P]

I am looking forward to Locke & Key starting next week; looks like mindless entertaining fun, and for what I’ve heard much darker than the Narnia-feel children’s TV series the trailer would at first appear to suggest...

Locke and Key is almost as shit a name as Chip and Pin

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Ok.
So I finished series 1 of Ragnarok.
I love scandinavian series and films for the spectacular scenery and lowkey (pun there) acting.
This has all the amazing scenery. The Big house on the mountain looks real and is like something from Lord of the Rings.

I hope there is a second series. I likes this...

The Kirlian Frequency. A dark Argentinian animation about strange small town goings on. alsoknownas recommended it to me ages ago and I'm now enjoying a second watch.
