Number 16 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Came late to Sky's Seal Team and I am now approaching the end of S2. It's pretty good and the action scenes seem realistic... and yes, highly trained US/UK/Israeli elites can win firefights 100+ to nil. I'm bingeing and enjoying seeing the bad guys 'get it', but I might need to slow the pace of viewing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I've also got into watching MSNBC on youtube there is nothing that attracts me to politics anywhere now, certainly not in the USA but I do love the comparison between the well researched real tv journalism across the pond compared with tame establishment one size fits all rhetoric where the audience are often asking the questions uk journalists would neither dare to, nor dream of, asking. At the same time I saw Martin Ford on Al jazeerah and Medhi Assan being interviewed about his new book very enlightening and both illustrate how poorly we're served in this country by the media. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bingeing and enjoying seeing the bad guys 'get it', but I might need to slow the pace of viewing! I really got into this when it first came out - It felt a lot more "real" then other shows/movies depicting this sort of stuff. I also quite like the main actor, and grown to like the other main actors involved too. Really looking forward to the next season which is on Paramount now I believe (or it changed to someone, can't recall who) It got me interested in Fire Country (has the blonde actor in it that is new) Edited March 24, 2023 by Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I have to say my favourite show at the moment, which kind of feels like a guilty pleasure, but I also feel like it shouldn't ... The Rookie - It was my mum who watched it initially and told me about it, then I got myself hooked onto it. I've always been a fan of police drama's, and I find that this show treads the line perfectly between drama/excitment/comedy. Pretty much all of the main characters feel relatable to me (for being American's in LA), and the actors do a great job. Would recommend to anyone that hasn't given it a try yet.

gingerjon Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Finally got round to watching The Last of Us. Really enjoyed it. Didn't think it was *quite* as amazing as some people seemed to but it was a rare created world that didn't have any obvious or glaring inconsistencies and everyone was morally questionable in their own way. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Oxford Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Has anyone mentioned the Naughty Tories - Geofrey Archer yet on channel 5? I mention this not for it's political content or who it targets but for a history till now perspective. In it, there was a line up, a queue of people pontificating, moralising and generally hindsighting a past where they knew everything that was happening, done and said and how they couldn't believe it was happening and no one was stopping it. Like bystanders at the crime scene and talking heroism the day after, they were far more fascinating than the Archer story itself and a far better explanation of how we arrived at the situation we have nowadays. The Programme was evidence that it is not just silence that's complicit in events.

Futtocks Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks to YouTube, I have just stumbled upon a Canadian sci-fi show starring Keir Dullea from the Seventies called The Starlost. The blurb: "A group of humans must explore a vast starship in order to find the controls to save it from destruction." So far, it is pilgrims in space, and Dullea's character has been banished for insufficient godliness. Or asking the preacher awkward questions, which is the same thing. There's a touch of Blake's Seven about the aesthetics and pacing. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Couldn't agree more and I also saw lots of journalists defending Bojo. Nadine was calling the enquiry a kangaroo court in a bit of the usual moral gymnastics that not only got us here but tries to keep us here.
