Popular Post sheepyvillian Posted August 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm on another Sopranos re - run. That moment when Dr Melfi cries out in anguish to Tony whilst together in therapy. You so want her to tell him about the rape. The chemistry those two had really made The Sopranos what it was. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don't like Sandman. It's coarse, rough and irritating man. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2022 Episode 6 of Sandman was rather well done. Essentially 2 half episodes on a theme and done interestingly and tastefully. Might be the best episode so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Sopranos but didn’t actually like the therapy sessions. Found it the most boring part of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it the most boring part of the show. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. For me, it was fascinating to watch Tony at his most vulnerable, and at the same Time, watching the Therapist trying to unravel the puzzle of Tony Soprano, whilst also having to repress the sexual tension that so blatantly existed between patient and doctor. It takes a special kind of acting to bring those scenarios to life. Edited August 25, 2022 by sheepyvillian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Gandolfini's heavy breathing became its own character later on in the series. Wonderful actor though! Coco won't be lewd in front of his daughter again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Laugh out loud Sopranos moment, Paulie in Christopher's bedroom sniffing Adriana's knickers. Come on, who wouldn't? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Ben Stokes doc on Prime is fantastic. Great to see a top level sport star at the top of his game speak so openly about mental health struggles, hopefully it will help many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The first episode of Welcome to Wrexham was pretty good. Also finished the Arsenal all or nothing doc which I really enjoyed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2022 I've started watching the Danny Boyle serios Pistol about Steve Jones and The Sex Pistols. Bearing in mind that the storyline is not exactly accurate (Jones and Chrissie Hynde did not have this drawn out affair), some of it is interesting, I didn't know the source of the song Bodies and it explains that quite well even though the subject is never called Pauline Anyway, the real reason to watch it is the acting, Anson Boon who plays John Lydon is absolutely brilliant, he has Lydon absolutely nailed. Worth watching for that alone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2022 I thought that BZ programme was new, but it was a repeat from 2005. Quite nostalgic, seeing JPA, Hitz, de la Cruz, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2022 I've just finished Pistol and I really was impressed by the acting, most of the cast nailed their real life characters. I've already mentioned Anson Boon but the whole cast did a really good job. Maisie Williams is also brilliant as Jordan (and for you fans of boobs, she does indeed get them out in Ep2). The story has far too much artistic licence but it does roughly tell the tale of the Pistols but the acting is excellent, it’s a rarity in these biographical stories that actors get their characters spot on but here the whole cast do. It’s well worth a few hours of your time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're big fans of European crime series, and I tried very hard to like this one, but I just thought it was a bit silly. Implausible plot, cardboard characters, unconvincing acting. Must try harder, Luxembourg. At least I've learned that the Luxembourgish language is a weird mashup of German and French. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 finished only murders in the building season 2, its ok, its definitely a step down but well worth watching if you enjoyed the first, id say its a 7/10 whereas the first was am 8/10, some of it is a stretch and convoluted to make it fit so i need something new for tonight...anyone watched season 2 of the flight attendant? or keeper of the ashes?
