The Hallucinating Goose 2,641 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I've started Shameless, I remember dipping in and out when it was first on and enjoying it so thought I'd watch it right through. During lockdown I've rewatched a few series I saw 10 years or so ago and my opinion of them has often changed. Funny how tastes change like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ckn 15,743 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I've not read this thread in a while, just clicked on now and I think some people have misread "The TV Thread" for "Yet another place to wreck with political stuff" Six posts removed. 1 1 Quote "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to post Share on other sites
silverback 1,232 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just got the Yellowstone bug and i cant shift it, fantastic film location and wouldent mind a few weeks in them hills. Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner is the marquee attraction of the ensemble cast in this drama series, starring as the patriarch of a powerful, complicated family of ranchers. A sixth-generation homesteader and devoted father, John Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and lumber corporations and land grabs make developers billions. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, Dutton's property is in constant conflict with those it borders -- an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America's first national park. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liverpool Rover 572 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Today I finished The Last Dance on Netflix. Even if you are not a Basketball fan like me it is a superb sports documentary. It shows just how driven Michael Jordan was to win and the burden he felt he had, although he couldn’t have done it without Pippen and Rodman and the latter two certainly couldn’t have done it without Jordan.

ckn 15,743 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 We watched Greyhound last night on AppleTV. Cracking movie that needed an extra 30-40 minutes to build Das Boot levels of tension in the fight with the subs. 1 Quote "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to post Share on other sites

Both had interesting angles on subjects I already knew the basics of. Recommend the second series of Dirty John (Netflix) to fans of true crime drama. This time it's about Betty Broderick with Amanda Peet and Christian Slater in the lead roles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Futtocks 16,143 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Nothing wrong with kids' TV, if it is good. Having babysat my niece many times during the late Nineties/early Two Thousands, I saw quite a bit of that era's output. Yes, there was some dreadful crud, plus a lot of lazy filler, but I'd stand up for Pinky & the Brain or Johnny Bravo, at least from that time. More recently, Rastamouse was a charming little show, as are Shaun the Sheep and the Danger Mouse reboot. It is a fertile ground for creative minds, who sometimes go on to do other things as well. Edit: add Horrible Histories to that list, too. Edited August 16, 2020 by Futtocks 2 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Costner actually did a pretty decent performance in Prince of Thieves, but he and everyone else in the cast just got blown off screen by Alan Rickman's fabulous Sheriff of Nottingham. 2 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

A lot of people don't realise aardman made a lot of shorts for adults as well, such as Pib and Pog and Angry Kid. If you've never seen Pib and Pog it's hilarious, it's essentially two cartoon creatures placed in primary school style educational video with a really soft spoken narrator but as each episode progresses it essentially turns into a black comedy where the two characters try ever more extreme ways to kill each other.

Today I found out that BBC 4 have started showing The Bridge from the beginning. For those who don’t know what it is it’s a Scandinavian crime drama and it is really good.

Wolford6 2,196 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sooty was really good fun when Matthew Corbett did it. The live theatre show was performed on panto lines .. something for all ages and a brilliant Black Theatre of Prague section. Going back to Harry Corbett days, I think Ramsbottom should have got much more airtime. 1 Quote Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to post Share on other sites
