The First.

 

Episode one was really very good, thought that it was gonna a great sci fi series.

Ep 2

Rubbish

Tv series - Chaussee d'Amour

 

Really enjoying this one, has a bit of everything.
Hardcoded subs.

Sorry, couldn't find a trailer with Eng subs but here's a teaser.

Summary: When her marriage fails Sylvia is forced to move with her children into a brothel on the Chaussée d'Amour.
Out of financial necessity she decides to exploit the bar. Meanwhile a detective tries to solve an old murder case.

Three of my favourite programmes are The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad. This may seem irrelevant to the OP but two of them currently have spin-offs, Better Call Saul (Breaking Bad) and Mayans M.C. (SoA), while Steven Van Zandt of The Sopranos has starred in Lilyhammer, a black comedy about a gangster who relocated to Norway.

 

Gomorrah is well worth being patient with the subtitles, assuming that you're not fluent in Italian. The new season is being shot partially in London, it has a lot to live up to. Next year should also bring a new "year" of Fargo

 

I'm also a fan of cop shows and there have been a couple of half decent efforts in Chicago PD and Shades of Blue (a star-studded [Ray Liotta, Jennifer Lopez and the lovely Drea de Matteo] poor man's "The Shield"), however the best current cop show by far IMHO is Bosch, a classy "noir" effort starring the excellent Titus Welliver, of "Lost", "SoA" and "Deadwood" fame.

 

Mrs. BM likes shows with strong female characters, old favourites being "Nikita", "Blindspot" and "The Blacklist", so we're also watching "Queen of the South", about Mexican drug cartels, and "Wynnona Earp", a supernatural western horror, according to Wiki.

 

Switching genres to fantasy, like many others I'm looking forward to the next season of "GoT", as well as the resumption of "Into the Badlands" and of History's "Vikings".

 

An honourable mentions also goes to Tin Star, a tense British/Canadian crime drama filmed in the Canadian Rockies.

Just watched a great documentary, "Spitfire", about the development,the men flying it

during WW2, and if it had not played such an important part in The Battle of Britain,

we would not be worried about Brexit ,as we would all be speaking German.

The Spitfire, E type Jag,and Concorde  3 really iconic machines.

Some good ones Ive been enjoying:

 

YOU.....very creepy millennial story leveraging the dangers of social media....stunned that this is on lifetime channel the home of corny romances.

 

Safe....a tv show based on a harlan coben novel....nice opening title song.....not great but not bad either....8 episodes.

 

My pick of the week...LOVE YOU MORE.....a zany non PC comedy series from bobcat goldthwait.....about a fat, huge titted and big hearted medical services worker with an irrepressible sexual appetite.....sadly the <deleted> at amazon cancelled it after releasing one pilot episode...worth a watch if only to imagine how good this could have been. Bobcat lost, Jefftwat won.

I've just watched Spitfire. What a fantastic documentary it was too.

 

I felt a tear jerking moment when the now ninety-nine-year-old woman who flew to deliver a thousand aircraft from factory to airfield, was there to be reunited with the only one she ever signed her name on. Incredible.

 

[mogandave]

Saw “Mara” and “Alpha” both today at T21.

Alpha had a few moments, Mara did not.

[Will27]

Excellent 3 part crime series from the Beeb.

Summary: Documentary series about hate crime in the US told through murders with elements of love and passion as well as prejudice.
Each show tells the story of one unfolding case.

That was interesting, thanks.

I can't see it on tpb yet. Just to be pedantic, if you watch it on catch-up, it's Caught On Camera Series 4 Episode 1: Moped Muggers.

Agree. Top British entertainment.

Another series worth watching is "Ordeal by Innocence." [only 3 episodes]

Thanks for the recommendation of Ordeal by Innocence. Based on the Agatha Christie novel but with quite a few changes, the directing, scenery, acting and script are simply superb. Great viewing, imo.

Nunca Vas a Estar Solo

 

Dip your toes into some top class South American cinema.

 

If you watch this gem, consider how the father's rage would be shown in a typical American version of a similar story. 

 

Quote

There perhaps hasn't been that many films to blow your socks off at Berlinale so far this year, but Alex Anwandter's You'll Never Be Alone could well be the first.

It's available as a download from the usual sites.

[SooKee]

Watched the movie Under Suspicion with Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman. Old movie but I'd missed it somehow. Quite a well done murder investigation movie. Good use of placing the investigator into the memory scenes that the suspect / witnesses are recounting.

[Will27]

Finding Oscar

 

An excellent but harrowing doco.

Summary: Finding Oscar is a feature length documentary about the search for justice in the devastating case of the Dos Erres massacre in Guatemala. That search leads to the trail of two little boys who were plucked from a nightmare and offer the only living evidence that ties the Guatemalan government to the massacre.

Documentary - Three Identical Strangers

 

Really enjoyed this one.

An incredible story.

Summary: In 1980 New York, three young men who were all adopted meet each other and find out they're triplets who were separated at birth.
Then they discover why.

What I thought was going to be an interesting film turned out to have a very dark side. It wasn't until halfway through the film did you begin to realise what was really going on.

It definitely needs to be seen. Very frightening and unsettling. It's on tpb.

 

Thanks for the heads-up Will27

Mr Inbetween 

 

Quite a quirky little Aussie series.
Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes.

First 2 episodes available, six in all.

Summary: In Mr Inbetween, Ryan plays "Ray Shoesmith," a father, ex-husband, boyfriend and best

friend: tough roles to juggle in the modern age.
Even harder when you're a criminal for hire.

A simple Favor

 

Caught This Movie in Oz last week, it really was very good, sat there for the first 15 minutes thinking my daughters had conned me into watching some Chick movie--which was OK as it was one of those cinemas with tables that serve alcohol & food throughout  -- but it turned out to be a really good Murder thriller, try to catch it when it goes to the net. Probably the best I have seen this year....so try to get through the first  10-15

 

[Will27]

Michael Palin in North Korea.

 

Enjoyed this 2 part doco.
A Python in Pyongyang.

 

 

 

[Will27]

Sick of It.

 

A pretty good start to this new comedy starring Karl Pilkington.
First 2 episodes available.

Summary: Sick of It is a scripted comedy series that sees Karl Pilkington take on two roles - himself, and the voice inside his head, as he muddles through the mundane life he may have led if he hadn't met Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

Don't Worry He Won't Get Far On Foot with Joqaim Phoenix. Got to be one of the best movies this year. What acting is all about.

Not at all impressed with Westworld season 2.  Season 1 was pretty good but season 2 just draaaaaaaaaaaags on and on IMO. The endless flashbacks coupled with the dreary and overly long 'deep and meaningful' monologues trotted out by the lead characters at every opportunity (and way too often) just make this a season I wish I hadn't bothered with.

 

It was bad enough after the first couple of episodes but I persevered with it hoping it would improve, it didn't. Each episode could easily have been 30 minutes shorter (and would still likely be too long and boring). Episode 8 was by far the most boring, I dread a new character being introduced, you just know your'e gonna get 1-2 hours devoted to their back-story at some stage! It's as if this season moved away from the rather interesting general story / park theme of season one that was heading somewhere.  Having arrived there season 2 is more devoted to probing at greaaaaaaaat length and in minute (and boring as hell) detail of what's in the 'mind' of these robots, taking an hour per character. Won't be venturing into season 3 that's for sure; a season to be endured rather than enjoyed IMO.  I can do deep and meaningful, just not dreary and dull ????

 

[Ulysses G.]

Just watched 2 seasons of Ozark and really enjoyed it.

The bad news is Terrarium TV has closed down. What a resource that was.

[HAKAPALITA]

I watched Jack Whitehall Travels with My Father. Interesting Tours ,the old Russian Ruled places were different,  but a weird pair imo. The Mom was Normal though.You can Google it.
