stuart_75 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Just started The Godfather of Harlem staring Forrest Whitaker. 2 episodes in and its great. Loads of good actors faces I've seen before and plenty violence. Fully recommended 8/10 WB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve been pleasantly surprised with ‘Resident Alien’ on Sky. I expected it to be a bit cheesy, but it’s surprisingly funny and the lead actor is great in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Started watching Man Down on Netflix. Stars Greg Davies, I'm sure it was on terrestrial TV a few years ago but it passed me. Plenty of laughs so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t have much luck getting people to listen to him though does he 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only watched the first episode of GoT, hated it. I actually didn't like Last Kingdom for the first few episodes, nearly gave up on it. About 4 or 5 in it all clicked and has been incredible since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only watched the first episode of GoT, hated it. You wont get a lot out of 1 episode of GoT, the whole first season is setting the scene for future events. It's a very different proposition to the likes of Vikings and The Last Kingdom anyway. The characters have clear motivations and are (loosely) based on real events. GoT is all about intrigue and betrayal. I watched a series or 2 of Vikings and recently watched The Last Kingdom and thought they were pretty good. I did find the dialogue in them quite repetitive and childlike though, probably because the main characters seem obsessed with referring to themselves in the 3rd person.

Rodders Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) episode one of Your Honor - intrigued, will carry on episode three of deutschland 83 - enjoying it so far, I'm hoping I can persuade the mrs to watch the americans with me after this ( she found the first few episodes of that too slow ) homelands - seen the three episodes and disappointed. Edit - spoilering to be safe Spoiler The twist at the end of episode two was infuriating. Then I saw it was jed mercurio and that explains it all, going for shock reveal telly at the expense of characters and plot. At least with AC12 in line of duty you knew you had someone to root for, now I feel ambivalent about the solution. Shame as subject matter wise I thought it would be really interesting. He's ruined Line of Duty ( though I will inevitably watch the new season ), and Bodyguard again went from fine to utter nonsense. Now, ok he's only an EP, but his influence on the shock tactic seems pretty evident. Can't stand that approach to telly. All about making a water cooler talking point for a week rather than an actual coherent storyline. Edited March 11, 2021 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Remembering how much I loved True Detective S1. And how everyone was totally into it every Sunday night. Sensational television. Shame they couldn't maintain the quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were offering a 3 month trial as an add-on and I’ve got that, so it just shows up with all the Prime programmes.

stuart_75 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I've cherry picked all the good stuff off Starzplay using "non-traditional" methods of obtaining media. Doom Patrol, Mr Mercedes, Castle Rock, Counterpoint, Pennyworth, Godfather of Harlem. Found all those shows quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Netflix are looking to reduce account sharing To be fair its pretty mad what they let you do, I think about 15 devices across 8 people have access to my account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 'Wayne' on prime is absolutely brilliant. Violent, mental story about a wee psycho guy going on a roadtrip with a girl to find a car. Music, acting, dialogue all top class. Highly recommended 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
