Thats a pretty good deal if you are on O2! Hamilton or Star wars first? Disney Plus has been one of the TV best purchases we’ve made. Probably watched more on there in the last two months than we did Netflix or Amazon in the last two years.

ckn Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We were wondering what show to get into next and decided we’d put off Homeland for too long. We watched the first episode and I hated it. Hated it with a remote passion I’ve only ever reserved for daytime soap operas. It rubbed me up the wrong way in almost every single way possible that a TV show could. It really has put me in a foul mood. 1 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it for a day and got shot my O2 tariff means it’s £5.99 a month from the start and there was absolutely nothing I wanted to watch, I’ve seen the Mandalorian and I’ve got all the Marvel films. I’d probably have ditched it if it was free but there was no way I was about to waste £70 a year on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they start producing lots of new stuff. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Finished Life on Mars, absolutely brilliant show, immediately becomes one of my all time favourites! Started Ashes to Ashes, must say, not enjoying it as much but only watched a couple so far and I do actually prefer Gene Hunt in the second show more but not liking Alex as much as Sam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear with it, it mellows out into a worthy sequel and one of the better TV endings 2 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've been watching Mrs America, started with the first couple of episodes on BBC Two, now watching the rest on iPlayer. Impressive cast and an interesting story, most of which I didn't know about. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I thought part one of Once Upon A Time In Iraq was very good . Hearing from ordinary civilians ... and a Rambo like commando with muscles on muscles telling us how elite he was , and by the look of it how screwed up he became . I also watched part one of The Murdoch Dynasty thing . Rebekah Wade always looks pure evil .

jacksy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If you have not seen it Black Monday with Don Cheadle is rather good. Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolford6 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I hadn't realised (till I read in yesterday's Times) that the BBC has made John Inverdale redundant. Obviously, heartbroken sobs reverberate all round the TRL websphere. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Setter Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 For those with Amazon Prime I'd recommend taking a look at the dark comedy 'Patriot'. It's about a US intelligence agent working under non-official cover overseas for his Dad, who is the Director of Intelligence. The protagonist is a little bit of an anti-hero who perseveres with his thankless job, and writes folk songs about what he's been through. Very, very original.

Trevorkfevfan Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I've been watching the "Mrs America" series about Phyllis Schlafly and her opposition to the Equal Rights Act. Its quite an eye-opening watch and demonstrates rather chillingly attitudes in the USA at the time. Very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
