Absolutely gutted that, on NOW TV, it ends after 8 seasons. What's that all about? Edited September 2 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, he and the writer had some dispute, causing the whole of part 2, of the final season, to be rewritten without his character. I was merely intrigued to how they will deal with that unexpected absence because, apparently, he had a clause in his contract that his character could not be killed off.. It's no big secret. I didn't know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, knowing about it is not going to spoil anything because otherwise, no one would have knew about it. It's not the character whose left, it's the actor. Maybe, they'll go all "Dallas style" and make it seem like it's all one big dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I finally got round to watching Good Omens. Had started it once many moons ago but it didn't really connect with me. So many people recommended it that I started again, stuck with it and am almost finished. 2 episodes of series 2 left to go. Tbh I've enjoyed series 2 much more than series one. Partly because the two leads and Miranda Richardson are taking up most of the screen time and partly because the thin young michael macintyre clone chap who I find it hard to watch hasn't been in it so far. Whatshisname from fresh meat and bad education and annoying things with his dad. But yeah, I was wrong first time round. It's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have watched the first four episodes. As I said in a previous post, my wife & I are big fans of Carl Hiassen’s writing. It’s pretty entertaining in spite of Vince Vaughn. He strikes me as the type that some find charming while others find him somewhat annoying. I am firmly in the latter camp. He only has one note to play in his repertoire and here he milks it for all it’s worth Pretty much every other character in the show with a speaking part is quite good and saves the show. I am a big fan of Michelle Monaghan, she elevates anything she’s in, and it’s certainly the case here. Just wish she had more camera time. Her role here is a big departure from her typically serious work. She’s very funny and flirty and criminal and it shows that she’s clearly having fun TL;DR- worth watching in spite of Vince Vaughn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Getting through my re - binge of Justified. Now on season 8 with the Crowe brothers. Caught another great line from Rayland Givens, " You know your trouble? You're born to lose, lose well for once, you might earn some respect. " Incidentally, the actor playing the character who Rayland says that to, is the one who played the arrogant character in Breaking Bad, who ended up getting his car blown up by Walter. I knew he was familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably does for a lot of the people that watch cooking shows but yeah I guess people can record one/stream one later. It just surprised me as unusual scheduling as they are basically exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was one of the lead characters in a series The Path about a cult/religious movement a few years ago. Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad played her husband. It was excellent….tried to copy and paste the IMDB page in case anyone was interested but couldn’t get it to work…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Finished the first series of Sherwood last night and immediately moved onto the second series. The first was excellent really very very good not just the acting but the whole premise was original and the story was well thought out. The second series has started fairly well and I look forward to watching it all over the next week. Edited September 4 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villa4europe Posted September 4 Popular Post Share Posted September 4 finished my second watch of chernobyl, this time with the wife, she didnt know anything about it, never heard of it and started with zero interest in it, she also doesn't like tv shows set in the past or of a historical nature...she loved it, the writing in it really is just that good, its not just the story its the way they tell it, the way they can turn the boring sciencey stuff in to something relatively simple and understandable and largely irrelevant at times would say on 2nd viewing dyatlov is maybe a bit of a cartoon villain but still a good one its proper top tier TV, probably because its a limited service it doesnt get the credit it deserves or is in the conversations that it could be but it should be heralded up there with the sopranos and the wire 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
