"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

Enjoying Alien Earth, better than the recent films

[Council Scum]

Have started Bodkin, really enjoying it, especially as its filmed all round where my Mums family come from. 

[Swiss.]

Started The Terminal List Dark Wolf only to realise there's a season before so I'd better watch that first. Very good btw. Taylor Kitsch is a great actor. Chris Pratt is OK I guess. 

Dark Wolf is a prequel to Terminal List, so you may actually be better off watching DW first fella.

I've watched the sequel. No correlation really. DW is better.

Bet they cooked up all the bits from the battlefield in a pot - jungle curry

Can anyone recommend King and Conqueror?

I was about to sit down and binge watch over the course of the week, but am I going to be hit with a load of BBC guff with it?  I've just seen a still from the battle of Hastings with your typical BBC Anglo-Saxon solider from that era.





 

It's 'colour blind' casting.  It's also had very meh reviews.

So no one has heard of The Black Rabbit Roman Brigade that was part of the Roman invasion of Briton. They were made up of Nubians. After the Romans left they remained in their own community in Sussex then part the bigger Wessex. Their descendants integrated into the Saxon army and were reputed to be good fighters. 

There's no such thing as a 'Roman brigade' and the Black Rabbit bit seems to be entirely made up.

Other than that, an accurate and informative post.

Finished Ripley at the weekend, Have never seen The Talented My Ripley and enjoyed it, especially as it was mainly set on the Amalfi. 

Finished The Madness, very good.

First series very good. Second series a prequel story. Unfortunately 1 episode a week so no binge

3 episodes into season 2 and it bloody excellent. Also good to see English actor Tom Hopper in it.

Watched ‘Smoke’ 9 eps based on a podcast concerning arson attacks! Good performance from Taron Everton as the arson investigator  Well worth a watch!

Lee Trundle and OnlyOne Billy...haha 

[Swiss.]

That's all very well, but in this case it's colour blind' casting. 

No Just proving to that racist, bigot, moron Lee Trundle it's possible there could have been black soldiers at the battle of Hastings.

Ah is all this wokeness upsetting you? Stop crying you big baby. 

I just find it confusing why they'd bother spending so much money on CGI to make a scene realistic, then purposely make it unrealistic, Swiss.

I mean, I'm not really confused as I know exactly why they do it, but you get my point.

Loved Nighty Nighty 

Me too!

Bit late to this but almost watched all of Ozark.
Really enjoyed it though thr 4th season feels like it wasn't really needed.

Roots I binged watched seasons 1 -3 started season 4 twice but sill can't get into it. 

Ozark all got a bit much (just watched all 4 seasons in last month or so) but the ending sort of cleared it all up. 

[Central Park Man]

Documentary - Gone Girls on Sky - how did that cnut go for so long with out getting caught

 

[Swiss.]

If you want some comedy you could try 'Nighty, Night', though it's so dark it might be safest watching it from behind the sofa.

So will watch the opening two episodes of Alien: Earth. tonight. 

Watched them last night. Actually looks and feels decent. Impressed so far.

Yeah, I'm happy with it also.  Think I'll enjoy it.

I was a bit surprised to see Eddie Hitler pop up in it though.  

Im wondering whether these new ändroids are the forerunner of Tyrell Corporations "Replicants"?  'Scott says BR is in the same universe but the timelines don't match up.
