Ahhhh
I can’t watch anything with one of the Friends cast .. I just can’t see past their character ,
…ahhhhh, that’s fair enough…her character doesn’t in any way resemble Phoebe but I understand the attachment and that it’s an emotional block…slightly differently but I still struggle a bit with watching Robin Williams movies…

…I binge watched No Good Deed on Netflix yesterday…I didn’t mean to binge it all so quickly but it was such a good watch, I liked it a lot…it was a bit of so many things…a dark comedy is what it’s billed as but it also has a murder/mystery element to it as well and lots of good relationship dynamics …a solid cast also with Lisa Kudrow and Luke Wilson…yeah, really liked it very much indeed…:love:…On the list for the holidays tyvm [emoji4]

I really like Lisa Kudrew as well

…her character is so completely different from Phoebe as well and she’s so instantly believable and relatable to as this character…it’s a very different/strong storyline…

… and voices and mannerisms ??
Maybe that’s the difference between just ok and excellent acting
Just finished the second and final series of Wolf Hall .. absolutely amazing acting / writing just marred by the baffling casting ..
I have no idea why they didn’t keep the overall feel of both series the same
It wouldn’t matter which way they went - just one or the other
… and voices and mannerisms ??
Maybe that’s the difference between just ok and excellent acting
…do you mean that you feel Lisa Kudrow is an ok actress as opposed to to an excellent actress…?..which is obviously what you feel, if that’s the way of it …but in No Good Deed, I personally don’t agree at all…she’s quite mesmerising in her character and every scene she’s in, she lifts it with her range of emotions…there is nothing of Phoebe for me, other than it’s the same actress playing both roles…she’s totally convincing in a role that isn’t Phoebe…and that for me is excellent acting, to convincingly become the character being portrayed…anyway, it obviously doesn’t appeal to you to watch it, Zizu…and that’s cool too but for me, I would say that the acting and storyline are pretty excellent in this series and Lisa Kudrow is quite a standout for me also…

I haven’t seen No Good Deed …
It’s just whenever I see the Friends actors/actresses in movies or series (most recently it’s Ross in that Spy series ) it’s just like the watching Ross out of Friends
Will probably watch the first series of SAS Rogue Heroes again over Christmas as the second series drops in the New Year !
Written by the Peaky Blinders guy .. based on real people and real events !!
…for some reason I couldn’t quite get into Season 2 of Bad Sisters a while ago so I put it down and picked it up again yesterday and am really liking it now…
…spoiler…
…so, so sad though to lose a sister, some very heart wrenching moments…many of them, I really felt the sisters’ loss…

been rewatching Malcolm in the Middle since i found out about its revival :cool:
remains soo funny :clap1: Bryan Cranston is so super iconic as Hal (this made him already very famous before breaking bad and have u guys seen the alternate ending to breaking bad, the dream sequence in malcolm in the middle :hehe: that Hal wakes up next to Lois, and says ''that was the weirdest dream ever''
Bryan is such a naturally talented, lovely actor
…we all watched a few episodes of a series called Beast Games yesterday…it’s kind of a version of Squid Games but everyone stays alive…or we don’t see the deaths, they happen off screen but there is a mass of people all competing for ‘the biggest cash prize in game show history’ of 5 million dollars….but as well as that huge sum and because only one person will remain standing to win it…there are lots of other huge dollar amounts offered throughout the game to tempt people out of it and to betray their ‘team’…or their section…anyway, it’s the trashiest of trash TV, it’s just awful and tasteless …it’s riveting….I might be getting hooked…
i watched the first episode of Dexter Original sin and the acting was atrocious. The only exception was the new actor playing dexter

…I watched The Stranger on Netflix, another miniseries Harlan Coben novel/dramatisation…it was watchable enough but lots of threads woven and then all pulled together really quickly…
…I’m looking forward to watching Severance season 2 soon…

…I watched The Stranger on Netflix, another miniseries Harlan Coben novel/dramatisation…it was watchable enough but lots of threads woven and then all pulled together really quickly…
…I’m looking forward to watching Severance season 2 soon…
…I’ve just started to watch Missing You, another Harlan Coben story…they just tend to be fairly quick and easy to get through stories and fine ‘fillers’ when waiting for episodes to air for other series…I’ll let Severance air for a bit before I catch up and I’m going to let Silo air a few more episodes so that I can binge…also the SAS Rogue Heroes….I’m not sure if the whole season has aired on iplayer already but I don’t want to watch it in real time if it hasn’t….atm we have Traitors so lots to distract while the binge watching mounts…
i find it very difficult to watch series that are drip fed. I much prefer to binge watch.
The drip feed scenario was very important when things were on network tv or satellite because it gave people time to watch it and discuss it at the coffee machine on a break. These days, not everyone has access to the same streaming services so it's more difficult to generate an audience. The easiest way to generate an audience now is to make entire series available at the same time
Of course the streamers want you to subscribe for the longest period, hence why the last stranger things series was dropped in two parts, with weeks in between the drops :laugh:

…also I think with how we watch TV atm and the added thing of the internet…it’s much easier for spoilers to be there, which are much more avoidable with binge watching….but yeah, same as you…I’m a serial binge watcher because I get too distracted with other stuff to watch in real time …and then I might catch a spoiler (accidentally…) that reminds me to watch but also gives away an ending or important part etc…:laugh:…
…I love miniseries…:lovedup:…they’re a short sharp fix to my addiction…

…oh I just finished binging that one yesterday…I quite like the Harlan Coben TV series adaptions…some can feel a bit samey but they’re generally a nice easy to binge watch and filled with lots of mystery and twisty storylines…I binged The Strangers before Missing You as well and that also was a good storyline…

From his collection I think I've only watched this and stay close but I def want to watch the rest.
Missing you started off strong but ended up like an Eastenders Christmas episode.
I enjoyed it but it needed less subplots and a stronger finish imo

…I think the problem was that there wasn’t much left to reveal by the end……other than Josh didn’t mean to kill her dad and the police guy, Staggers, wasn’t really a bad person like we thought…but those were just kind of ohs, and not omgs….

Poorly executed. Sometimes 1 or 2 twists only will do lol.
Watching Innocent today. According to Netflix I already began watching it and stopped at episode 3 but I don't remember so I'm starting again :hehe:
Mario Casas is so fine though ugh!!!

Only read my spoiler after watching the film lol
Rant. It has gotten on my nerves though to see people diminish their achievement "well done they changed the world by sorting mail while the men were out there. Ermmmm the point was they wanted to be out there in the field, we're training for it but they were demoted to sorting out the mail. The amount of mail was so huge that others had attempted to sort it and ship it before but had failed!! Soldiers and family not being able to receive letters from loved ones must've been devastating. The point of the film is about perseverance and achievement through adversity!

I've watched the first 5 episodes of The Wire.
And to try and be as balanced as possible here, where is this 10/10 masterpiece?
Don't get me wrong, I like the criminal/gangster side of the plot, and Lance Reddick (when actually utilized in the programme) is good, Idris Elba is alright in the Show as well (again when they bother to write for him.)
But my two big issues with The Wire's first few episodes are quite simple imo.
- Pacing from the Police side of the story is incredibly labored, a lot of their scenes just feel a lot more boring to watch imo, and less well planned compared to the criminals side of the story.
- McNulty has to be the most cliched lead that I have seen in some time, he needs more interesting material imo.
So far The Wire feels like a standard 5 to 6/10 Crime Show.
Does it actually start improving?

Please , please , please persist !!
It gets better and better as the budget increases with each series ..
Also each series has a different ‘theme’ with new characters / actors but with the old characters storylines also being entwined, seamlessly .
The biggest and best characters haven’t emerged yet !!

Gonna watch the Amazon review killer on channel 4 at 10. Looks interesting!!
…I watched a miniseries on Netflix called The Breakthrough, which is based on the second biggest criminal investigation in Sweden …and eventually a genealogist helped the investigation team….an horrendous murder of a child and an unrelated woman and a truly fascinating true case story that was never allowed to ‘go cold’ by the team of detectives…

A friend introduced me to that recent K-drama series The Glory, about the school teacher who implements a plan many years in the making, in order to exact vengeance upon a circle of friends who bullied/tortured her during their childhood. It's honestly one of the most engaging shows I've ever watched. If my friend wasn't so eager to watch it alongside me, I'd have binged the whole thing in one night lol.

…oh, I started to watch this a while ago and got distracted, it was something that a friend recommended to me….well, tbh I wasn’t completely in the vibe for it at that time..I was becoming absorbed in it but the violence was quite a lot…how cruel and awful the bullying was, it was very extreme…I might give it another go actually, now that you’ve mentioned it…I’ll have to watch again from the beginning as it’s quite a while ago that I tried watching it..but yeah, Korean productions are generally something I love and excel at creating a very dramatic and thrilling storyline…
…oh….a friend introduced you as well, Ray. …we might have the same friend…:laugh:…

If it helps sweeten the deal, the torture scenes don't feature nearly as much beyond the first 2-3 episodes iirc. And in total fairness, the uncompromising brutality of those scenes really do make it all the more joyous when the lead character not only brings down her tormenters later on, but also rediscovers her humanity bit by bit and learns to let people in again. But yeah, even for someone like me who has a strong constitution for graphic violence in film/tv, the scenes involving that implement made me feel a tad squeamish. It was heartbreaking at times. My friend has introduced me to a few k-dramas recently, e.g., Moving, All of Us Are Dead, The Light Shop (Korea is a huge fascination for her). But The Glory has proven to be the most immediately addictive for me. :laugh:

…I’ll definitely get back to it now with everything you’ve said…my friend has also asked a few times if I’d watched it because he was longing for some feedback for his recommendation and I did say that I was struggling with the extremity of the violence which for me…?…went hugely past bullying and into kind of horrific torture territory, you know….but that’s interesting (…and terrifying…)…that it’s based on a true story because it felt far too extreme for that to be the way…but definitely, knowing as well that it’s based on a true story…I’ll move it up the list and complete the watch fairly soon…and thank you for that…:love:…
…in your K-drama era, I would also recommend Little Women/the Korean version…that sounds a bit ‘girlie and a bit twee’….but I promise you a riveting/thrilling watch and version of the story…I loved it, it was one of my favourite watches of 2024….

…that would be some binging in one go as it’s 16 episodes, I think…?…but just to say, I continued watching this yesterday evening after what you’ve said about being through the brutal episodes…so much Korean drama/storytelling is so well done, I have to say…and this is definitely up there as a riveting watch…without your words, I wouldn’t have realised that I’d got through the worst and the most brutal and then given up, how crazy….I’ll definitely see the story through now and my friend will be pleased that I’ve finally watched it…:laugh:…

Tried my longest to avoid the Underground railroad because dangit I can't handle too much trauma at the moment. Cause Aaron Pierre is in it I thought ok let me try and oh my word...cinematography and acting is great, it is worthy of the awards but man, the trauma.

…I rewatched Black Bird over the festive time…(…which was the first series that I watched on Apple TV…)…and I’d forgotten how absorbing/disturbing it was…and what a tense ride…
the content apple produce is completely different from other streamers. I find a lot of the other streaming content to be too formulaic and generic. I get annoyed by it, which is not a good thing when looking for entertainment :laugh:

bots …thank you for your Servant recommendation…I’ve finished the first season and have found it very intriguing/mysterious and dark….I hadn’t realised though that there were multiple seasons…I think 5 seasons in all, I’m not sure that the fifth ones is released yet, though…I’m not sure if I’ll continue with all of the seasons just because it is so dark and stark and bleak and …joyless…and the last episode just led to too many unanswered things that I didn’t feel a pull to have those answers…
i didn't make it past the 1st season either :joker:

…I’ve just finished this and I absolutely loved it…:love:…it’s billed as a thriller/drama but it’s so much more and so incredibly layered …not only in how the lives of two women are intertwined but also in how many stories are weaved together…the cast/characters are…flawless…and the storylines come together so brilliantly…I would totally recommend and it’s never predictable …:love:…
…I’ve just started to watch Expats, which is just a short miniseries …(..6 episodes, I think…)…so an easy binge…it’s a very absorbing storyline and Nicole Kidman as well, who is always so watchable….yeah, quite excellent so far…:love:…

Loved Snowpiercer but small warning if you're watching on Netflix: The 4th and final season isn't (and won't ever be) on there, and the whole thing is being pulled from Netflix at the end of January. It was picked up by a different network in the US for its final season and no Netflix deal. You can get S4 on "less legitimate sources" obviously, and the whole thing S1-4 will apparently be coming to ITVX in the spring, which will be why it's being removed from Netflix.
ITVX is slightly sh*t though. Better than their old on-demand service, but not much.

I only watched the last season a couple of months back, I don't remember if I totally forgot about it or I thought it had finished after S4 :laugh:

itv don't broadcast in dolby surround because all the franchise parts are different companies, so it's on a loser to begin with
…I started to watch The Walking Dead/The World Beyond…it’s not really gripping me atm and I’m not connecting with any characters or feeling any dramatic scenes from it…it’s very, very slow…anyway, I’ll watch a little longer and see how it goes…see, this is the thing for me with watching series in real time…it’s such a slow process that I’ll dip into quite a few at the same time and then either lose interest of forget about them after a few weeks…I much prefer to binge and really absorb in something…

…I watched season 1 yesterday, I love it because obviously the humour is sharp and fits with the characters so well but there’s also obviously a really somber/sober storyline running through as well so that we engage more deeply with the characters and their stories of why they’ve come to the group…

Yeah Loudermilk is more sitcom about the people than a really addictive storyline going on
…I just finished Goosebumps/The Vanishing…I enjoyed it ok, it wasn’t riveting but the story zipped along and was very watchable..the only big thing that I became obsessed with, though……is that he was a botanical scientist/professor …but he never seemed to wear protective gloves to handle anything…even when he’d had living spores in his arm, those gloves still didn’t happen…

I am sooooo late to this but Matthew and I have been watching all The Walking Dead seasons and have just finished the final episode.
I kind of feel bereft now....we have watched it every night more or less for months and now it's over. I do t normally invest in long series like this but matthew wanted to watch it and we were hooked from the start.
Got all the spin offs to watch now but loved the main show

…I have to say that I’m still not a real time watching fan, I’m a firm binger…the thing I probably engross and love most in a storyline is character progression/development and The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad plots were both perfect for that…and binging really highlights the development of characters, I think….

I completely agree. I wouldn't have watched it all if I had to wait a week between episodes and the a break at the end of each season.
It has completely dictated our lives for the last few months.....but we've never moaned about having nothing to watch :laugh:

…in real time as well, it was usually split into two parts with an added mid season break of several months…so around 14 episodes-ish per season but shown over several months because of the break…(…and an added mid season cliff hanger as well…)…I stopped watching for a while and then caught up when it was complete and I could binge again…

We finished it as well last night, haven't started S2 yet. Have you watched the Strike serious? Holliday Grainger plays the lead female character in that too, she's great
I hope Rachel has decided to join them to expose them and prove Shauns innocence and not just conform. It was so twisty though wasn't it? I gasped when his ex lawyer Charlie stepped forward as the leader of the group who brought him to that rave warehouse. I never saw it coming that the two lawyers were the orchestraters of the whole thing. Ron Perlmans character is awful as well isn't he?

…I felt so bad for Shaun and just wanted him to finally be able to spend some time with his daughter…I mean, the whole thing about them ‘justifying’ the Corrections were that it was only done for the purposes of being able to imprison those highly dangerous people/terrorists who they weren’t able to put through the justice system …so Shaun being ‘sacrificed’ was obviously all wrong …Rachel still obviously still have the evidence to free him so I’m hoping that thread and her working to do that will run through the next season…Ron Perlman was horrid but scarily he was a believable character as well …actually the storyline in general was scarily believable…

Been watching some Colin Baker-era Doctor Who. Specifically the serial Timelash. Not nearly as bad as its reputation might suggest, but still pretty dire. A very pedestrian and uncomplicated plot that still somehow manages to fall apart in the third act. That takes a very dubious kind of talent. :laugh: What saves it from being a 4.5 and bumps it up into being a 5/10 is a literally laughable portrayal of H.G. Wells, and two enjoyably hammy performances from Colin Baker and Paul Darrow.

Finished the whole run (4 seasons) of The Bridge, Swedish/Danish police drama. The woman who plays the lead is phenomenal. Didn't even matter if was subtitled. Would highly recommend it.

…I tried watching that yesterday evening….I think that I was on episode 4-ish of the first season because they’re very short/quick episodes…?..I just couldn’t get into it though and put it aside…(…sorry…)…it felt very slow and I didn’t really feel invested in the characters…
…I’ve just begun to watch Zero Day, the new Netflix series with Robert De Niro …it’s a great cast and an interesting storyline about a global cyber attack…so far, very good…

I only watched The Walking Dead last year for the first time and I'm totally a fan now.
FYI, there's also a Walking Dead spinoff on Amazon Prime that's not bad about a group of teenagers. It's called The World Beyond. In case you haven't noticed it.

Daryls is by far the best spin off, by absolute miles
Tbf I think what ultimately makes it the best is that Norman Reedus can carry episodes on his own (and always could in old TWD) - doesn't even need to say much, he's just a very... watchable post-apocalyptic character. Unfortunately for the other two spin-offs,
While I like both Maggie and Negan, their dynamic is simultaneously weird and irritating... I have no issue with Maggie never getting over what Negan did to Glenn, and no issue with Negan being remorseful about it, but do we need to see them hash it out FOREVER? It felt like TWD left it where it can only end up ... that she accepted he had changed and no longer wanted him dead, but could never forget or forgive and so couldn't live anywhere near him. The spin off felt like, all those years later, somehow they were slipping back to BEFORE the TWD ending :think:.
Rick and Michonne... both could carry episodes alone back in TWD but something's off in the spin off. With Rick especially - it feels like he "forgot" the character, and he definitely forgot the accent wtf. He was straight up annoying for 80% of the spin off series, improved in the last few eps but that was it. And the sex scene is still one of the worst things that's ever been televised :bawling:.

setting it in France as well stopped it for being too samey, the attitudes of the people, the monestry, the architecture and scenery. It all helped to freshen things up.
Re: Negan and Maggie, yes **** me, talk about beating a dead horse. There is no way they'd constant have to spend time with eachother, it's stupid and annoying and surely no one wants then to be friends? No matter how nice he is now, he cracked her husbands head open with a baseball bat
Lmao yes Rick's accent was weird and he definitely forgot how to play Rick [emoji23] also, the storyline was a bit stupid and cringe at times but a mile better than Negan/Maggie

naked attraction. watching all the episodes back to back with my cock out.
Fear the Walking dead was sold on the premise that it would be about the days and weeks that formed the initial outbreak. That was true of the first episode...and then they skipped ahead to after everything has already collapsed. So it was just a lamer Walking Dead, ultimately. As far as a zombie show about an actual outbreak, Black Summer was an underrated piece of work. Not a masterpiece by any means, but lots and lots of fun. It was a prequel spin-off to Z Nation, which I didn't actually care for. But Black Summer was unexpectedly good.

Having really enjoyed the Nordic Noir 'The Bridge' and given it 10/10, I'm half way through another Danish/Swedish drama, The Killing. Loving it so far.
…I binged Am I Being Unreasonable/season 2….I hadn’t realised that it had been released until yesterday…I really didn’t rate it at all and struggled to keep interest…/…sad because the first season and storyline were so good and I’m such a Daisy May Cooper fan…
…I watched Towards Zero…a nice little 3 part Agatha Christie, which ticked along nicely as Agatha Christie tends to…:love:…
I watched the 2021 miniseries Deceit, about the honeytrap sting that resulted in the false charge of a man for the Rachel Nickell murder. It was quite interesting and they did a good job of packing a lot of info into just four episodes.
…I started to watch Ruth Ellis/A Cruel Love…I’ve only watched two episodes so far but it’s obviously a true story so an interesting watch…

I would definitely recommend the affair. It's so uniquely done by the way it offers different perspectives of events that have passed.
As for Bloodline it's still holding my interest as to how they got to that point. I'm on Ep 12!!! That family :fist:

the ep ''Shades of Grey'' was about a mob war, and some eastern europeans trying to provoke them into actually going to war, with Colter caught in the middle of all that
------------
the Doctor Odyssey/911 crossover was very entertaining! Angela Bassett's character Agent Grant on the Odyssey, despite her fear of being on a cruise and if something goes wrong :laugh: also her makeover scenes with many different dresses was also lovely :cool:
love the Casino week theme either, reminded me of that other show Las Vegas :flutter:

I watched the 19th Series of Wie Is De Mol on YouTube.
It was a decent year tbf, but I do think that the last about 3 or 4 episodes kind of sours things a fair bit, without spoiling it for anyone that might be interested in watching it.
All I can say is that I didn't like The Mole in the Series, and one contestant got a ridiculous amount of favouritism.
Also someone else went far in the competition who just wasn't very interesting to watch imo, they were more likable than the actual Mole, but were also possibly more dull.
Overall there were some good contestants in the year, but unfortunately Politics had to play it's part.:rolleyes:

Yes, I love Reece, I love how she was so proactive with her fame/money and used that to help promote female writers to make great shows and films with strong, well rounded female characters (and of course making money at the same time)
So many great series around currently
Quite a few with similar themes
This City Is Ours was great but Mobland with Tom Hardy looks as though it’s gonna be even better !!
Same with Dope Girls. we really enjoyed the first episode then I had a quick look at A Thousand Blows with Stephen Graham and that looked as though it will be better ..
I recently watched Griselda and liked the story / acting but now I am watching Queen of the South and I thinking it’s a level or two better !!!
queen of the south is excellent

No worries, just don't google anything about the film obviously before you finish the series as you don't want to know what players are left!

Jesse takes the meth to Tuco, who robs him and puts him in hospital... Walter visits him with some mercury fulminate and makes a new deal. Was not expecting the explosion, excellent little twist.
Walter's complex. I feel sorry for him, his wife seems more interested in her own feelings than his even though he's the one with cancer. Her sister is a nightmare too... I like his DEA brother in law though.

Ah OK well you have excellent characters yet to come!
I always thought Skylar got really unwarranted hate :laugh: And I love how messy her sister is. Yes Hank is great

Bottom line, what really made that show great I think was so many well written and complex characters, whether you loved or hated them

I don't hate her... It just seemed like "You have cancer? How awful for me..."
Her sister, yes. Messy. I like the bit where she stole the shoes and left her orthotics. Made me laugh...

Oh yes, that's so true.
My favourite sub character in breaking bad was skinny pete. There is a 10 second clip showing he is a maestro on the piano ..... just 10 seconds of character detail

Not you specifically, just in general she got a lot of hate from viewers when it aired

Ah yes, just met him last night.
It’s gaining momentum as we speak .. many actually prefer it to Breaking Bad
I go back and forth on whether I prefer BCS or Breaking Bad. I think overall, probably BCS for me. And I definitely prefer Jimmy McGill over Walter White as a protagonist. But both shows are cream of the crop television.
Better call saul is a really special show, and it's coming back for a new series on apple tv
