If anyone missed Giri/Haji i'd really recommend it - a really excellent British / Japanese crime drama which is really well written and acted and beautifully shot - it was on BBC2 so you should be able to get it on iplayer still

:gp:

It was really funny too.

It has the same irreverant quality as Killing Eve. But whereas Killing Eve lost all semblance of any plot or character development half way through the first season and just became a series of skits, Giri/Haji was continually surprising and engaging.

[Master Splinter]

They did well to create a fairly unpredictable ending though they did jump the shark even more than usual in this series, but still, always entertainung

It was at it's best when it was being a spy show, so basically when the intrigue between Carrie and Saul was at the centre. That's why the final series ended on a high note.

Some of the post-Brody storylines and central characters either never took off or lacked that early nuance and at times felt like a generic gung-ho military action film. It was better in it's smaller, intimate moments.

[Master Splinter]

On that note, if you want a more streamlined Homeland without dumb bitch Carrie ruining it for you, Jack Ryan on Amazon is worth watching.

It's the best version of Jack Ryan on screen and the first series especially matches Homeland at it's strongest in showing both sides of the conflict. It's more consistent than Homeland and the action and set-pieces are obviously more prominent.

Most importantly The Bunk is in it :bow:.

Yes, and you just got the sense the actors loved it because all the characters were fully-fleshed out and had some great lines

And THAT rooftop scene in the final episode was stunning

Tried way back when it was being hailed as the second coming. Gave up. It's not just the show, it's the frame of mind I happen to be in at the time. Sometimes both coincide. Watched Edge of Darkness again. Crazy stuff that probably doesn't stand up so well today, but still compelling. Watched the Shadow Line too. I remember that got slated at the time. But it was an easy watch through to the end without the urge to abandon ship.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I gave up first time, thinking it was too slow.

You are right about the frame of mind thing. It can really influence your judgement to the extent that something you would normally enjoy becomes painful to watch.

I’m invested now.

Schitt's Creek. Despite the silly name, it's really funny!

Another series I had to come back to because I found the first couple of episodes a bit meh.

But once the scene is set and the characters develop, this is a really funny and feel good show.

Another you may like is Kim’s Convenience. It took me an episode or two to get past the accent but it has developed into one of my all time favourites programmes.

"The English Game"

About the early history of football, how it transitioned from a public school game to more of a working class one and how players started getting professional.
Quite good, more of a period drama really and I think it plays pretty fast and loose with the facts but pretty decent for all that.

That episode is one of the darkest pieces of television ever.

And incredibly apt about life in general.

It's also funny as fuck.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It is incredible just how good the Simpsons was back in the day. They maintained that quality for quite a while. There was no way they could have sustained it, and they didn’t.

The real tragedy is that it was such a cash cow, Fox are determined to milk every last cent out of it. For those who missed out on early Simpsons, it is the best thing on Disney+ by a mile.

[Master Splinter]

It's like great musicians/writers/filmmakers/football managers who have have an incredible run and reach a peak they're never able to match again. The output in those years was so good that the work will live on forever.

There's no need for it to still be going, and it certainly doesn't detract from those early series. But it is quite painful when I occassionally watch a more recent episode and it feels like you're watching a fifth rate tribute act performing outside a Gregg's.

Although, actually, that analogy does kinda stand up. The Simpsons was groundbreaking and innovative. You can't keep on being innovative - once you've done something new and other people have copied you it stops being new. And also the early Simpsons writing team was dripping with talent. The new lot simply aren't as good. I haven't watched it for years but it remains one of the best and most important TV shows of the 20th century.

So I watched a cooking prog instead. Some stupid competitor to Hell's Kitchen. Was all going well, the brain dead competitors were hamming it up, the judges were striking self important poses. Everything I yearn for when trying to nick a decent recipe. And then...

COINCIDENTALLY - purely, purely coincidentally.

In a competition that had identified the best 12 up-and-coming chefs in the USA - two of them just so happened to be lebso lovers who lived with each other.

I mean, what are the chances? How incredible is that? It's like a 1 in 1, with the mainstream "entertainment" media.

I did just finish The Orville. Genuine fall off the chair laughter if you are in on the jokes. You kind of have to be a Trekkie that survived the woke revolution to buy in. If you are then it's a goldmine of laughs. It's also a refreshing callback to so many of the genuinely masterful sci-fi moments from the greats that went before. Shows up STD (no, not the disease, although...) in brutal terms but still manages to discuss many of the same issue that childish wreck-job squatting on the Trek franchise butchers but in a grown up manner. Well worth it if you fit the profile. You'll hate it and be offended and all that bollocks if you can stomach STD.

Bit of a dull episode i thought last night but one that i suspect was needed in order for them to tie everything up next week in the finale.

well ok, not as many shooting scenes etc in this one, but if you weren't riveted by the interview scene you should maybe switch to Die Hard 3 or something - it was really tense and well acted.

I thought the interview scene was superb as you say. I dont need shootouts or car chases (on that matter, the opening of the episode was a bit pointless imo). Just felt like that this episode was needed to set the clues for the finale next week. Although the interview scene which was about the half the episode was superb, the rest of it was a bit dull imo.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Yeah it was a pointless and pretty shit car chase, handbrake turn zoom into the gearstick and drive 10 yards. But the interview scene was riddled with clues which we'll hopefully only pick up on after next week. I think it was needed having a slow down episode though.

Ok. I finally caved to your incessant peer pressure and watched the first LoD - I mean from the very first series. Was very impressed.
Lots of catching up to do so no spoilers :sulk:

Really good 3 series show about a bloke, his nephew and other family. Comedy drama leaning towards comedy.

Superstore

Quite like this. Comedy about the staff of a supermarket. Makes me lol, wouldn't go so far as to say rofl.
Decent thing to watch over lunch.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Watched this new series with Sean Bean & Stephen Graham on iPlayer called Time.


Superbly made prison drama. Only 3 episodes but very good & worth a watch. Reading some the reviews, it seems they got most of the reality of prison life correct

[Letters]

Oh yeah. I heard about that the other day and thought it sounded good and then completely forgot about it :doh:

John said: “I’m so grateful, excited, and nervous to be joining the Strictly 2021 family. I’ve been wearing sequins and jazzy attire since I was three years old and can’t wait to hurl myself, full throttle, around the most glamorous dance floor on earth. What’s more exciting for me, is that I’m going to be one half of the first all-male partnership, which is a great step forward in representation and inclusion.

He sounds like a queer...

[Ollie the Optimist]

Clarkson's Farm.

Brilliant.

:gp:

It’s a fascinating series on how farming actually works. Yes there are times Clarkson plays the fool but you can tell he has a genuine passion for farming and tries to make the best of it.

Really would recommend to those who haven’t watched it,

The Wilds

Good little show about some girls stranded on an island. All a bit mysterious at first and could have gone full "Lost" but this one actually reveals what's going on quite quickly. There are some good twists and the end implies a second series is on the cards. Would recommend.

[EDIT: It's on Amazon Prime]

Btw i thought Vigil was great :bow:

I'd not heard of Vigil but had a few people mention it when I've said we watched LoD.
Will have a look.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I thought Vigil was a bit crap tbh. Just seemed to tick all the boxes of moody drama, plus Arnott was only in it for about 5 seconds.
Thought the ending fizzled out just like LoD as well, kinda obvious who would end up being good and who it was given they cut to their shifty eyes every 5 seconds.... Oh wait it was all about the adoption.... Meh.

The only shocking part about it was that Young Morse is Scouse :blink:

i really liked it but assuming (perhaps wrongly) that you''re from that part of the world, I'd love to know what you thought of Evans' accent - i thought it was Mancunian until my wife said she thought it was scouse :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well he actually is from Liverpool so I'm guessing the accent was authentic, though it wasn't particularly pronounced. And it definitely wasn't full scally ketwig Scouse either, which is obviously a plus.

No idea where you were hearing Manc thigug :lol:

i didn't know he was from thereabouts - i often think there's a whine-ishness about both accents tbh which makes them annoyingly similar :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Chapelle Closer is fucking hilarious. Mostly. You need to be plugged into the American scene at a social level to get half the jokes, and I'm not so I missed those, but the wider observational comedy is gold. Not in a ha ha, hysterical way, but more in a jeez, did he really say that and how fucking true is that sort of way. I guess this guy must have a lot of money tucked away, beyond the reach of the cancel mob.

[Niall_Quinn]

Careful Dave, they after you!

Say what? One they, or many theys?

In a recent bogus court ruling a tranny loving judge ignored an assault by a tranny and ruled in favour of the bitch because he/ she/ it/ them/ they/ banana had been misgendered, despite the balls and cock. The judge, in a legal document, stated "they" had been illegitimately fired. That's not even acceptable grammar, let alone a legal definition. But it passed anyway because the goal is not law, the goal is not science, the goal in not language - the goal is confusion and subversion.

Chapelle locks onto this with a single comment, and then moves on. It's clever on several levels, in the least because it quickly shoots down the absurdity of the transgender movement and also because he protects his arse in the process. It's a legitimate and safe assassination of utter stupidity. Rather good manoeuvring in this age of intolerance dressed up as the age of tolerance.

Does anyone actually care if some weirdo wants to look between his or her legs and say no, no, no? I don't have a problem (or even a passing thought) with that. Let them. Who cares? And, mostly, those people don't make any demands on me or you. It's the fuckwads who ride to the "rescue", unbidden, and demand we all think in a certain way that poses the problem. Who will rid me of these meddlesome priests?

[Globalgunner]

Chapelle is great, takes no prisoners of any race, colour or creed. More power to him.

Back to it tomorrow night because we watched Alexander Armstrong in Iceland this evening. Saw him filming there in Reykjavik during July.

The Blair Brown documentary series on new labour which is currently on iPlayer it’s fascinating.

It’s a five parter so actually goes into a good amount of detail from 1983 to 2010. Whether you agree with them or not, its a really well done series & fascinating to listen to them describing how they made decisions

[Globalgunner]

The only time Im watching anything about Bliar is when he is in the docket at the Hague wearing longjohns and steel bracelets

[Globalgunner]

From what I know, Plain glass shatters into shards while tempered glass breaks into little granular pieces. If its tempered, there will be a little insignia saying so at a corner. Most (every) car glass is tempered. Luxury cars have tempered and laminated glass.

If there is no insignia or label, then you wont know till you break it.....

The ending of the last series sucked ass, but the end of quite a few big American series end up like that with a few exceptions, like Cheers.
