Not bad, and it’s more episodic than serial which is a nice change.

Naturally, like in every cop show in the last 15 years he has a dark and brooding presence owing to some past trauma in his life. That’s getting played out.

Really good show. There's 6 seasons to watch.

Same as the other seasons then. Each ep is basically 24 hours to get out of a terrible situation or your family gets dismembered/life in Supermax. There seems to be a lot of one note, relentlessly grim stuff around at the moment. What’s wrong with a bit of light and shade ffs...

Brooklyn 99?

Which is finally back on form. Been watching out of habit for the last couple of seasons and the dearth of other non-serious shows that are even semi-decent, but the one that just dropped on Netflix is actually pretty good.

The bolded seems very true.

I blame blame f**king Scandinoir.

That the thing by your man behind Gomorrah? Saviano?

Keeping an eye on this post... big Gomorrah fan here.

Anyone watched/ watching Money Heist/ La Casa de Papel? A Spanish action series on Netflix. Had never heard of it, but they've just launched season 4 or 5, and 'everyone' in the US is talking about it. Watched the trailer and it seemed pretty decent if Die Hard/ The Raid is your kind of thing

First three seasons are brilliant. Felt it lost steam in the fourth.

The Ciro film was released before Christmas in Italy. Need to find a version with subtitles.

Somone's posted a subtitled rip of it to the subreddit. My friend used to be into that illicit download stuff but shys away from it these days so hasn't watched it... besides, he presumes that the subtitles are done by some regular bloke on the internet, not professionally, so might not convey the story very well.

If any friend of yours downloads and watches it, let me know how it is so I can pass on the info to my friend

It is so.

Finished Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness

My days, that was CRAZY! If I ever meat a person who admires big cats I'm running away. Those people are across the board crazy. And that's only the start. And by start whenever someone is introduced who looks normal, well they sure as f#ck are not. There simply isn't anything like it.

It's probably not the most ethically produced documentary.
Give the PBS interview I posted on the last page a read.

It's a strange one when a man who lost his lefts in a parachuting/skydiving accident comes across as the "normal" one

New episode* of Tiger King drops this week: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/09/entertai ... index.html


*seems like it'll be a slightly different format - people being interviewed by a comedian

Watched the first 3 episodes of The Least Expected Day, Inside The Movistar Team 2019 on Netflix.
Its in Spanish but has subtitles.
Quality show. Fly on the wall documentary on the team through the giro, tour and vuelta.
First 3 episodes were on the giro before moving onto the tour.
Would highly recommend it if you are into cycling.

Anyone know how to watch BBC scotland live? Limmy has a show at 11pm.,

Same here, watched it last night....damn....

There was a real ‘Of Mice and Men’ feel to some of the episode 9 scenes, particularly the conversation about where the brother wanted to be in five years. I was waiting for him to say he wanted to own some rabbits.

The New Popes conclusion was pitch perfect .

Almost makes me want to convert !

I wonder if an agnostic can take mass ?

I only watched it because of all the memes I kept seeing, wasn't expecting much but fvck me that was compelling viewing

Ah I'll wait for a guaranteed stream tbh.

There's a Ciro movie ? Thanks for the info, that's my afternoon sorted

L'Immortale I think it's called.

Released just before Christmas.

Don't spoil it ffs.

No spoilers, it was an enjoyable watch for fans of the show. Italian subs are ok if you understand them, english ones not so much, best to wait for an official release.

Quite enjoying the new Van der Valk

Marc Warren is very watchable

I'm watching it on ABC in Oz

Thanks, release date is March the 20th.
Don't see it anywhere.

Sounds like lots of people were talking about this so thought I'd give it a look ...

Riveting stuff! Caused bloody murder against Shermans, but suffered mayhem from air attacks. Madness that it cost so much when they might have gone with something simpler to match numbers with Allied tanks.

great show but fcuk it I dunno if I want to add to stress levels ; ballsy move by Ruth in episode 1.

Homeland is taking on an interesting angle with the head of the Taliban being the good guy/victim

Just catching up with it and thinking you couldn't get a VP that thick. Then I remembered Potatoe

This final season of homeland is absolute garbage. If it hadn’t already jumped the shark, it did so spectacularly this season. The highlight was Carrie being the only person to thought to tell tech genius Max that it would be important to retrieve the black box flight recorder from the president’s helicopter. Now why didn’t anyone else think of that stick a fork in it

I'm still kind of enjoying it, but the 'final dilemma' she is facing is kind of moronic

I've watched 3 episodes of the new Twilight zone. Nope. Anyone else rate it?

Better Call Saul is brilliant, and this season has been episode after episode of riveting TV. Most of the acting, writing and shooting is top drawer stuff.

What a character Lalo is.

Has been rivalling Breaking Bad for me.

I watched it for a while but it was too “gimmicky” or something compared to BB. I get he was meant to be more light hearted but still. Would be hard pushed to say anything tops BB, imo.

Last two seasons have been some of the best TV out there, well worth a watch and have really developed things. For me, in terms of storytelling, character development, it would be up with BB and in some parts surpasses it. Which is not easy as BB is one of my favourite shows.

Also watching an Israeli show called Shtisel. Got into it after Unorthodox (which was also great). Actually very interesting and bingeable.

Agree fully, just finished the penultimate episode of S5. It is absolutely brilliant TV and agree on it matching BB in parts. Cannot wait for next season!

I'm enjoying Devs so far.

Bit corny in places but very Alex Garland if that's your thing.

Castlevania is the No. 1 show for me at the moment. Season 3 is superb. Not at all the kind of show it looks like from the surface.

Anyone watched (and recommend) any of the following?

Bosch latest season (I don't need to be told to watch that!)
Snowfall
The Nest?

I enjoyed the first four seasons of Bosch, fifth season took a while to get me interested.
Sixth season out on the 17th?

there's a way to "add new channel" ; have to key in frequency numbers and sh1te like that ; did it once for a rugby match ; google it and if you're still bothered it'll eat up an hour of coronavirus down time
