rjw63 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Watched all 6 episodes of "Pure". Very good. The girl who stars in it is quite hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Normal People anyone? Can't remember a new show/adaptation with such unanimously great reviews. I'm 7 in and enjoying it although it's starting to loop back on itself a wee bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'm now into the 4th episode of the 2nd season of the Korean epic, Kingdom, on Netflix. It's absolutely brilliant, with some fine, fine acting. I strongly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the first season, it's hard to find anything not to like when Brendan Gleeson's in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on top form (and good to hear his rough Irish brogue!) but think Harry treadaway as Brady Hartsfield is equally as well cast. skipping movie nights this weekend to get through season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its solidly good but the change in director for the last 6 episodes is noticeable I thought, Lenny Abrahamson is the greatest director to ever come out of Ireland. The two leads should have big futures too. I'm stuck in Rake at the moment on Netflix, don't know how I've never heard of it before. It's serious yet hilarious and very well written. I could not recommend it highly enough, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Finished Gangs of London this morning. I enjoyed it all to be honest. Kept me entertained all the way. I look forward to the inevitable second series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just watched two episodes of The Last Dance on Netflix and I'm liking it, great insight through interviews and behind the scenes footage. OK Jordan was one of the best but I never liked the Bulls, preferred The Rockets myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Bit behind the curve on Ozark, I’ve just finished S2. Struggled at the start, after a superb 1st season, I thought it dropped off a bit and found it slow going. Them last 3/4 episodes were superb though and I’m right looking forward to S3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Have reached an all time low in lockdown viewing! I have started to watch (and guiltily enjoyOMG) Forged In Fire on the history channel where knives and bladed weapons are crafted from scratch have to say it’s way over the top in stereotyping Hicksville America but the craftsmanship is amazing. the presenter (particularly is unintentionally hilarious) and the judges make me cringe ‘your blade will kill!’ but the skill involved makes it bearable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2020 I'm onto Season 4 of Money Heist. I was a bit worried given someone on here said season 4 was "so bad it's good". But I think it's actually still very good. It's over the top and getting more and more unrealistic, but it's very very entertaining 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forged in Fire is great. It's laughably American. Take the Bake Off format but peg it to something that appeals to preppers - making dirty great swords. Seeing a bloke chop away at some rope before sinisterly turning to the contestant and saying 'It will cut', then start hacking away at a salmon before maniacally saying 'it will kill!' is a TV highlight to be savoured. The disgust in one episode that a bloke basically cut out a knife shape and sharpened it was similar to what you'd get if a contestant turned up to Bakeoff with a bag of Gregg's doughnuts iced with shit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think "so bad it's good" is a bit harsh. To me that's reserved for laughably bad shows that you're only watching because of how shit it is. The movie "The Room" being the ultimate example. Money Heist is genuinely very good, even if it's silly (on another note, I always thinks it helps when cheesy things are in a different language. It's harder to tell how bad the acting is or cheesy the lines are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
