I was considering it, but your comment is making me reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Lots of good stuff with the Last of Us, Wu-Tang & Snowfall but my favorite atm is Mayor of Kingstown. It's great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 21 hours ago, TheAuthority said: I know it's been billed as a movie on Netflix but I'm posting here as Luther was originally a great TV show. This "film" is absolutely bobbins. So, so bad. Just ruins the legacy of the earlier seasons. If you left a plot and script in the hands of the worst Hollywood execs you would get something better than this. I also can't take Andy Serkis seriously as a villain. Maybe I could have if there had been any, I mean absolutely any character development or an inkling of explanation as to why he was the most sick person on the planet but seemingly also the richest. They seemed to cut out all of everything that was good about Luther in the first place and WTF was that ending? It was like they were suggesting, wink wink, he's going to be James Bond. 0/10 absolute shyte. I enjoyed it really but agree with many of your points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Finally finished The Old Man and it was a real grind to get there. Superb cast (Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow) and looked great but it was sooo slow and ponderous it became boring and a chore to get through.

rjw63 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Who'd have thought a Korean 'game' show would be great viewing? Physical 100. Not watching just for the Pretty girls, no sir. Some very good characters in this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The Bokeem Woodbine character in Fago should have had a series all about his rise to the World of crime. Such a fascinating character and presented with such aplomb by a very underrated actor. I still remember how good he was in Jason's Lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted March 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2023 Decent first episode of the new Ted Lasso season. I do think this should be the last series though. I think there's only so much you can really do with the concept before it gets stale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2023 We just watched the two series of 'Flowers', which was made by Channel 4 a few years ago, but passed us by at the time. It's currently on Netflix. Really enjoyed it. It's a very difficult trick to pull off, making what is superficially a comedy, dealing with issues of mental illness. But (IMO) it succeeds brilliantly. It verges on cringe comedy at times, which is something I normally hate (can't stand Ricky Gervais), but here it works. Brilliant ensemble playing by Will Sharpe (who wrote and directed the whole thing), Olivia Coleman, Julian Barratt, Daniel Rigby and Sophia Di Martino. And a great soundtrack by Sharpe's brother Arthur. Very impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Excellent S2 of Mayor of Kingstown. Such a shame it's unlikely to be a S3 anytime soon or maybe ever due to the Jeremy Renner injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
