Dave T Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just finished Homeland. Absolutely loved this last series. Didn't get too silly, stuck with a main plot right through, and was more patient and intelligent than a few of the seasons. Thought it was an excellent last series and finished off in an excellent way, shocks, twists but not trying too hard. I'll miss this show, a couple of shonky seasons, but overall very enjoyable. Any recommendations for similar shows? Just started Looming Tower and enjoyed the pilot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d just finished ranting at the telly about what a traitor Carrie was and I hope she gets killed ... when the final scene unfolded . I hope the producers have a rethink and keep it going 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think she was wrong, but it was in character, she doesn't see the bigger picture, the wars come and go and you can't trade in that strategic asset for an isolated flash point, Saul was right. But that's what made it work and feel right, she is flawed and flies off the handle, but will ultimately try and do things for the right reasons. I thought they did it very well, the end scenes were under-stated and nicely done. Funnily enough I'd also have been OK with a finish that saw her kill Saul and go bad. She has always been on the verge of it anyway, and it would have been a nice mirroring of the original season with Brodie. But it was very well done, and for a long running show to finish so well it was great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevorkfevfan Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just finished watching the final episode of "Gangs Of London". What's my verdict? Not sure yet! I've watched more than my fair share of "blood & guts" films and TV including the often blood thirsty Nordic Noir stuff on BBC4. The violence and blood/gore in this however is shocking at times. I suspect my mind would have been made up more rapidly if there had been a stronger actual storyline. I felt that was a bit loose shall we say. Some good acting performances but so many of the characters had such limited involvement prior to their demise! Michelle Fairley seems to be developing a "Sean Bean" habit of being killed off! The ending clearly left scope for a second series. I shall think on it some more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

History could have turned out very differently. Richard III was the Christian leader and had lost heart. He'd heard that the nobles were plotting against him in England and he wanted to go home. He called a truce (a face-saving gesture) not knowing that Saladin didn't have any money left. Agreed & some of their more recent stuff is a good watch too. 2 warning points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
