"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?"

[BRANDED]

Watched the first episode of Mobland last night. It looks like Tom Hardy is saying, how the hell do I get out of this load of old cսnt. Cant see the makers of Gangs of London doing anything but laughing.

Reacher.

Comes into town.
Hit's some Bad Guys.
Bangs the Boss Babe.
Kills the Bad Guys.
Leaves town.

Rinse and Repeat.

And yet Amazon insists on spunking over $1 Billion on Lord of the Rings. Trying to reinvent the wheel.

"A Fool and his Money. Are easily parted.!"

It's incredible how much money Amazon spent on LOTR only to produce something that looks like it was made by the Si-Fi channel.  It looked as cheap as The Shanara Chronicles. At least that had Ivana Baquero in it...grrrrr

That's about it, Shorty.

 I remember being stunned when watching The Sweeney in the 70s that some weeks the baddies got away.  I don't think you'd ever see that happening nowadays.

Reacher 3 - Good stuff as usual, the good guy maiming the villains etc, some great scenes as always. Will say though that at around episode 5 I thought it got a bit tiring, maybe they should be 6 episodes. He's a great character though that the viewer can connect to and like. Season 4 confirmed.

Agreed.  It did drag on.

This City is Ours on IPlayer ain't too bad.

I thought Reacher 3 was pretty poor compared to seasons 1 and 2.

The only thing that offended me about Adolescence was how fucking boring it was. I mean, impactful subject matter but awfully done. IMO. 

Also, where can I watch Mobland?

[Swiss.]

I see SNL did a White Lotus skit taking the piss out of Aimee Lou Wood and the her complaints after. Was very funny btw.. Has probably brought her more publiucity.

Mobland - It's Guy Ritchie, so it's cliched and nothing we ain't seen before, but yea it's fucking good, with good acting. One episode a week, so you have to wait, which I like.

Manny's on the march.
out of step...but he's a trier  god bless him
Jumping jesus 
Holy cow

I wouldn;t say Mobland is typical Ritchie but he didn';t write it only directed. Also Tom hasn't gone full "Hardy"for once thank God.  It's very good even if Stephen Graham is not in it...shock horror !

Graham is a brilliant actor in almost everything he does but that Thousand Blows on Disney+ is fucking awful, tried my hardest to like it and its just shit with a very poorly thought out story line and the lead girl who is brilliant in Adolescence is shocking in this.

Regarding Adolescence, I wouldnt go looking for offence in it. The story it tells is an important one, as parents we can all be a bit complacent in allowing our kids freedom on the internet and not closely monitoring what they're doing. Its a modern problem, whereas my parents didnt know what I was up to every minute of everyday and they had to put some trust in my ability to make sensible decisions we as parents today have almost too much ability to see into our kids lives and what they are doing. Just because the family in it are white and the main focus is looking at a personal irritant of mine, what they now term as 'toxic masculinity', another bullshit buzz phrase, doesnt mean its not something worth addressing and considering as a problem in society for kids. In the same way we've had shows on black street gangs selling drugs and stabbing/shooting each other, raping gangs in the north and midlands of islamic faith and lots of other risks to the innocence of kids today you cant look at this show and say because its focus might be on white males that its offensive to you and therefore its some sort of propaganda and put out there just to white/male bash, the likes of Andrew Tate, etc are real and its obviously an issue for some young boys today so taking a closer look at it through shows like Adolescence is at least of value so people are more aware of it. I found it interesting and im a father of only girls as I didnt know half of this stuff went on within the social media environment.

Sorry Jim .
You're too nice.
THOUSANDS OF YOUNG WHITE WORKING CLASS  GIRLS RAPED AND ABUSED BY THE SCUM OF THE WORLD ...IN ENGLAND

Manny.

Swiss alternates between trying to be edgy and the oldest swinger in town when in reality he's no more than a bitter sap.

Ooh Billy coming to  "'Manny's"' rescue again. Get a room. 

Rescue?? FMOB.

Isn't that why you changed your user name from Snide of Spam?

White Lotus 3 left me feeling very underwhelmed. It could have and should have been told in three hours rather than six (and it still wouldn't have been very good).  It's a shame as the first two seasons were excellent but this one was a car crash.

But you stuck with it till the end though, careful Swiss will be after you for that! 

I thought the last episode was good. Season 4 confirmed, hopefully it gets back to the form of the first two.

If Stephen Graham was really a Jamaican Scouser, he would sound like John Barnes.

Yea as has been said umpteen times Fargo 1 & 2 are outstanding, but they're all good apart from 4.

White Lotus finally picked up in the last episode where they crammed it all in, it was good. Extended episode.

So you'll go hours watching drab boring shit just for one episode at the end. Do don't get out much do you? 

Haha! Says the man that watches every show under the sun, mostly shite.  

Fwiw, I stuck with it because the first two seasons were really good so I knew this would be worth sticking with, and it was. As for going hours watching it, it was one hour a week. Prick.

[Swiss.]

Mr Inbetween if you ever fancy a different take on a hitman. Ray Shoesmith is one of my favourite characters of all time. 

Great father, great friend, down to earth, oh and a killing machine! 

Yeah the bus scene is a classic .
