Quite right, soundtrack is brilliant, one of the best things about it! That's the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It put me off any more of his books I was interested in watching it after reading the book . I’m four episodes in and I’m finding it ok . Its pretty complex , lots of back and forth in time , even with interaction between characters of different times , and a mix of fact and fiction . It’s a twist on a theme but ultimately still a murder mystery 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.

graveyard johnny Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 looks like netflix is getting ditched as an non essential luxury by a lot of people as the cost of living hits home - but to be fair it does seem a lot of quantity over quality - churning out the same old choices 24/7 theres only so much people want to watch and a lot they dont see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be part of a discussion I've been having a lot with people recently because I do firmly believe that there will be a fight back against the rapid increase of technology in our everyday lives in, say, the next decade or so. We are seeing this a bit already with some thing such as a lot of people getting rid of smartphones and phone contracts and just going back to a basic £20 mobile on pay as you go or SIM only because they've realised they don't use 99% of the features on their smartphone and only need a phone for calls and text messages. Also a lot of people are buying back all the cds and vinyl they got rid of 10 years ago when streaming music was a massive thing because people have realised the quality is just so much better. A while back a lot of people got rid of books for kindles but then realised reading isn't just about the words on the page and is also about the experience of actually reading a physical book. Just like these things people may potentially be fighting back against streaming services because they realise there is plenty of TV to watch on terrestrial tele or on terrestrial tele's catch up services, which while a sort of streaming service is only showing the terrestrial tele they missed the night previously or some other such situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindle xiii Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I don't watch ITV often, have they stopped showing adverts at certain times? I've sat through a few breaks now and it's only been promotions for ITV shows and Brit Box for 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
