But a good watch. I had no idea of the story so was very interesting. Yes I did get a bit annoyed when each episode seemed to go further and further back in time but it was still decent enough to sit through 9 episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was terrific and for once the finale was especially strong. Finished it this morning in the gym. the last two episodes were particularly brilliant and a great way to conclude the series. Finishing the unbrella academy tonight which has also been top drawer throughout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started watching it on Channel 4 but got pissed off by them going back to Carrie's mental problems again so gave up. Is it worth going back to and finishing it off do you reckon?

choffer Posted March 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2019 Season 2 of Tin Star really has taken the story beyond believable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the latest yes, just come on to Netflix (final series due to air later this year). If you don't like Mad Carrie, I'd give it a miss, as that is the dominating theme. I really like it though, for all the stuff about covert operations, drones, cyber warfare, etc. It posits that a woman won the 2016 presidential election (not as hawkish as Hilary C, but that's basically who it is), but still lots of stuff about fake news, Russian interference (Brexit gets referenced), social media, etc. I'm enjoying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I had to turn off Ricky Gervais's new show before the end of the first episode. It's amazing how someone can make a show I love so much yet can piss me off in almost everything else. As an aside, I still get a bit shocked by the word 'word removed' being used so commonly on TV nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Flyball on Crufts is mad. It's like the equivalent of a 100m relay for dogs, but a lot shorter. I'd never seen it before, and having watched a couple of 'rounds' (?) I started to rather enjoy it, although the mix of dogs struck me as a bit odd - surely if you had a group of 4 whippets or greyhounds you'd absolutely smash the other teams? And then it happened. Well, there were 3 whippets. They were pretty much a blur and destroyed the other team. Bet it stinks in there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few things, I've come to the conclusion that's he's not actually a very good actor (Brent aside), I didn't really laugh at all, all the humour seemed to be about calling people a word removed, plus I'm not a big fan of the premise either.

Bit emotional too with the laptop and the old boy with the birthday cards at the end His character is like the anti-Derek, but it’s got a similar funny/sad tone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a terrible actor, agreed, but I did find some of it funny. Its always going to be difficult to live up to The Office, which in my opinion is the greatest UK comedy series ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch Alan Arkin read a phone book and it would still raise a smile - absolute curmudgeonly perfection Totally agree about Alan Arkin.

Watched all of it now and I liked it. Without giving too much away it gets better and the last 2 episodes are quite sad and poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 So it’s been confirmed that that Tolkien series is going to focus on the second age of man.. ie... the creation of the rings and the original wars around them. Will be very interesting to see how they handle this, there’s a lot of literature around this, but some is very adopted from Tolkien’s writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just watching some old Top Gear clips on Youtube. The challenges and reviews etc. The Bugatti Veyron one for example, when Clarkson drives it back from Italy. Shame the presenters disappeared up their own rectums.
