"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?"

[Gank]

I don't think you're allowed to like Spacey any more, didn't he bum some boys or something?

Cleared of all charges.

No smoke without fire, Alfs! Best to label him a bummer of boys to play it safe.

Another fan of Reacher here. Got through it really quickly. As said below though don't take it seriously.

Cherval, it's a bit of a leap thinking Adolescence is white working class male bashing, Steven Graham is a great working class dad who thinks his 13 year old kid is in his room playing video games. It could happen to any dad, working class or not.

Cheers Jim, I will look at the behind the scenes stuff on YouTube.

... and 'Mobland' on the way, a Guy Ritchie turnout with Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy.

Watched the first episode of Mobland last night, great actors though a bit underwhelming imo, could be miles better, work in progress.

[John Coffey]

billy - agree re Spacey. Excellent actor. Rewatched American Beauty last weekend funnily enough.
Talking about being very late in watching stuff, I might be even later than you, as I’ve just finished Season 1 of 24!

 

Don't know if you've seen it, but he was also very good in Swimming With Sharks.
Highly recommended.

 

Not seen that film MMG but will look it up. Cheers

Reacher is a decent watch as long as you don't take it to seriously.

Will have a look at 'Mobland' and 'This city is ours' over the next week or so.

Very very late on this one but am loving House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is a superb actor and he and his (screen) Mrs really do play their parts fantastically well.

That is late. I found the first 3, maybe 4, seasons were superb, then it lost it's way imo. Agree that Spacey is a great actor.

The English Game on Netflix.

About the beginnings of football and professional football based on history, actual characters and Teams who were the pioneers
I never knew that professional football started up North, mainly Lancashire, and that the FA along with the rules were founded by the elite amateurs from London & the Home counties.

Not a documentary, well worth a watch!



 

Did they not push the recent emerging narrative it was invented in Scotland? That will piss them off. Good.

The first professional players were Scots bought down to Lancashire to play for Darwen FC.
Maybe that's what they meant.

 

[RootsRadical]

Adolescence was excellent.
Was shot like a horror movie the way the camera followed the characters  tension all the way through from start to finish.

The final scene is harrowing, was still thinking about it the next morning. Not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes, moreso the next morning.
I have a young son so it resonated with me.

[JAC]

I also finished Reacher today....  worth watching, Severance, now that is a pile of shit.Watched 3 episodes and wish I hadn't.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

Thanks chaps.
Think I'll persevere a little longer.

The scariest thing is im hearing that they've commissioned at least another 3 seasons which means we aint getting any answers anytime soon

 

 

 

I may be wrong mate, but I think they've renewed for a third series rather than three more series.

[Council Scum]

Im about to finish the second season of severance and I've got to say im struggling with it now. Although slow and a bit ponderous I found the first season brilliant and kept you guessing all the way through. The second season has just gone completely batshit crazy and I literally havent a clue whats going on or where we're going after 9 episodes. The scariest thing is im hearing that they've commissioned at least another 3 seasons which means we aint getting any answers anytime soon, its just gonna keep getting more and more bizarre and abstract. It has the ability to both send me to sleep and make me feel like im tripping balls when watching it as its completely bonkers.

With you on that Jim, gone from having an interest in the characters, to not really giving a fuck anymore.

Finished Reacher yesterday, so started on Severance.
People seem to be raving about it and whilst I found the first episode intruiging, fucking hell, was it slow.
Anyone on here persevered? Is it worth carrying on with it?

[Manuel]

Anyone watched This City is Ours with Sean Bean, 8 part series about drug dealers in Liverpool?

And 'Mobland' on the way, a Guy Ritchie turnout with Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy.

Chim, I watched Adolescence and then watched a doc on YouTube after on the making and that scene is incredible and you are right they are using a Stedicam that is then attached to this incredible 10 propellor drone that is already powered and ready to fly on the go without stopping filming and then takes off and takes you to the murder site, same camera the whole time without pausing. its a breathtaking piece of film making when you seen how they've actually done it. Some of the other ingenuity they used to create the episodes is equally impressive so I'd strongly recommend watching some of the behind the scenes footage on YouTube.

Stephen Graham seems to have a hard on for white working class  male bashing.

He's in crowded company 

Is there anything on TV Steven Graham isn't in these days?

I've only just found Homocide Life on the Streets as sky started showing them again 30 years on.

Think its brilliant

Four epiosodes in with Gangs of London and bloody hell talk about non stop action. The Funeral shoot out is up there with some of the best.
