Designer1 Posted February 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2019 2 minutes ago, Risso said: I was really, really disappointed with it. Good pisstake of The One Show, crap Partridge though. Not a patch on the brilliant Mid Morning Matters which is spot on all of the time. The set up for this is all wrong in my opinion, and didn’t work. Obviously some great lines like the Fluck/Clunt guest, but it needs more than just one or two headline grabbers like that to work. Needless to say I completely disagree. I've watched it three times now and it's utterly brilliant from start to finish. The writing and in particular Coogans performance are just top notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted March 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2019 Finished season one of Titans and it was worth watching even if it does kinda feel more like a mid season break than an actual end of season. Spoiler The end credit scene reveal of Superboy also feels a bit rushed as they now basically have the Justice League with Nightwing and Wondergirl already in it and they could have delayed his introduction. He also devalues all the other heroes and spoils them building up Raven all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The One Show Partridge was pretty amusing, but it certainly wasn't vintage Partridge. More on @Risso's viewpoint here. Maybe it'll get into its stride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Baptiste This literally has no redeeming qualities, a plot line done to death, wooden acting - and its very, very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top quality stuff, one of the best things the BBC has done in ages. so long as you view as a gangster story and accept its total fiction then its good viewing.

Risso Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The last few minutes of Partridge were quite funny, but overall another very weak effort. I just don't think the set up or the way they're trying to develop his character is working very well at all. Hie female co-host is actually the best thing about it.

Designer1 Posted March 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2019 Finished Russian Doll the other night. Thought it was terrific and for once the finale was especially strong. Also watching The Kominski Method which is very good. I could watch Alan Arkin read a phone book and it would still raise a smile - absolute curmudgeonly perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The Assassination of Gianni Versace was decent enough. Spoiler Some of the gayness was very much in your face, but I guess that's a huge part of the story. I remember him getting killed but never knew he was killed by a serial killer.

I liked it but it wasn't a patch on the OJ one. Felt too long as well. A lot of filler in there. But a good watch. I had no idea of the story so was very interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 just re-watched series 1 of Line of Duty as part of a recap ahead of the new series, which I cannot wait for. Forgot how good the first episodes were and that they actually were seeding Dots storyline that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
