A demotion back to Sarge in my book Yes, because LA's Finest should be exactly that: the finest, particularly when it comes to female officers (by saying that I am probably committing various crimes in the US and some European states ). Before I forget: the actress who is playing the character of the undercover agent is Karolina Wydra. Edited October 30, 2015 by jope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Tv series - Wicked City Unfortunately, the best thing I can say about this one is that it has a killer soundtrack. IMDB: A pair of LAPD detectives track down serial killers terrorizing the Sunset Strip. Completely agreed. It's just another cop-show that recycled the dialogues and the plot of numerous cop-shows from the past. Wit or originality: not existing. Even the Billy Idol songs could not save the whole thing. It's simply very very bad. But the actors look good, dress fashionably and have an edgy look about them? The undercover agent, soon to be promoted to Lieutenant: Lieutenant, I mean really! And here's the guvnor from the excellent UK crime drama, Unforgotten. That's why, IMO, the UK shows in the main, are vastly superior to the US ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHolmesJr Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Glad to see Lilyhammer has been given the go ahead for season 3. Finished season 2 on the weekend and it was really good. A nice little cameo by Paul Sirico AKA Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos in the last episode. Was good to see the boys back together again. Started watching season 3 last night and am glad to say it's just as fun and quirky as the first 2 seasons. Cheers….love Lilyhammer. Trust they have relaeased all episodes en masse as they usually do. Found lilyhammer season 3 thru genesis in Kodi….720p hi def streams from nrk channel with perfect subs….nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why, IMO, the UK shows in the main, are vastly superior to the US ones. Yes! She is very calm and quiet but also very authentic and believable. And make no mistake, in reality police are very motivated to solve a murder case, even when the case is decades old. I think Unforgotten is a great show (thanks for reminding!) not least because of Nicola Walker who plays the leading investigator. I already liked her very much as Assistant Commissioner in "Babylon". Edited October 30, 2015 by jope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Am in the Philippines & just saw an advert for a "new" series called "The Strain". Looks good, anybody seen it? Yes both series ,escapist rubbish , , all about the devil coming back ,people turning into monsters , with long tongues killing everyone , i liked it when It first was advertised I thought it looked interesting. The fact that by the end of the first or second episode, I forget which we had already seen the scary monster it was well on it's way to mediocrity. I gave up after 3 episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i claudius Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I could be wrong but from somewhere in my childhood memory banks I'm recalling Dr who having an African right hand man ?So am i on my own.with this boyhood memory ?Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app If he did ,as a time traveller,he could have picked him up in the future?, but as I was saying it is a shame that kids ,because of PC will grow up thinking that the middle ages were just like the present ,full of immigrants from all corners of the globe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Not sure if it's been mentioned before but I've just finished the recent BBC comedy 'Detectorists' and really enjoyed it. Don't expect rapid fire gags as you would in something like Moderen Family - it's much more laid back and wistful. It's set around a couple of metal detecting enthusiasts searching for a Saxon burial ground. I enjoyed it. looking forward to season 2! It's back Trend Setters. Once again this was excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just watched the latest episode of DR Who , i was amazed in the crowd scenes ,which by the way was supposed to be in the middle ages in Britain , there were as many black and Asian faces as white ,i never realised that even back then we were so multicultural. still this is the BBC and they keep pushing the left wing agenda ,i was just suprised that there were no transgender people in the crowd , the only problem is that kids are going to grow up really believing that this is what it was like in the UK in the middle ages . sad really The appearance of Maisie Williams has just about saved this series, been very poor as has the Doctor, hope she becomes a regular, but I think her career will take her much further than Dr Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped for more but will give it another shot. I'm afraid that now with "Blunt Talk" gone the TV-Saturday has descended back into a black hole with nothing decent to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooHaa Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 10 new U.S. TV shows to watch... http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150826-ten-new-us-tv-shows-to-watch Few of them look worth (at least) watching the 1st couple of episodes For me, shows 1, 2 & 5 I'll pass on, maybe 4 as well but I'll give it a go for an episode or two... The rest looking forward to seeing them start having already seen a couple of the pilots... Which pilots? Blindspot released the pilot episode a few weeks back.. Supergirl also released the pilot episode a while back, but not going to watching it when it kicks off... blindspot is alright, it is similar in structure to blacklist, but rather than reddington's list, they are follow clues tattooed onto the body of a woman i consider hot.

BookMan Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 A couple of Movies you might consider passing over... 400 Days Low budget sci fi/thriller style movie. A group of wanna be astronauts agree to spend 400 days locked up in a space craft in a simulation exercise for a private company. But is it really a simulation?? After about 5 minutes of this movie you are unlikely to care. Poor script, poor acting, though it has a few recognisable fringe actors,. a movie budget built on the goodwill of friends and a few thousand dollars... 2/10 The Last Witchhunter Vin Diesel shows us his lack of versatility as an actor and plays the same character he has played in nearly all his other movies. He is just getting older and seemingly taller. It was a run off between him and Tom Cruise for the Jack Reacher role, with Tom winning through his superior height. Anyway, in this movie, he was cursed by a witch about 800 years previously and cannot die. Now he is the policeman of witches and must stop the evil witch from resurrecting and taking over the world. I'd recommend this one for any long haul flight where you like to fall asleep while watching a movie. 1/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmesJr Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I just can't get over how brilliantly written and observant The Affair is…the song in the opening credits in particular has some of the most incredible lyrics ever. Here it is, for anyone interested….would love to know how you interpret it….if you have been following the series: "I was screaming into the canyon At the moment of my death The echo I createdOutlasted my last breath My voice it made an avalancheAnd buried a man I never knew And when he died his widowed brideMet your daddy and they made you [Hook:] 3xI have only one thing to do and that'sTo be the wave that I am and thenSink back into the ocean Sink back into the o-Sink back into the ocean Sink back into the o-Sink back into the oceanSink back into the ocean" Edited November 3, 2015 by JHolmesJr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
