Tv series - Appropriate Adult

 

Came across this one the other day on RARBG.
Thought it was quite good.

Summary: Dramatisation of the case of serial killers Fred and Rose West, focusing on the way in which

they were brought to justice.

 

 

I watched it over a year ago. It was a good production.

Why have they filmed it for the small (square) screen? Even mobiles have widescreen now. Looked like it was filmed in 1979.

It is filmed in wide screen. Your download may have it encoded to show a square screen but everyone will look thinner than they are. Just adjust your video player settings to change it to wide screen.

Another new series starting last week, Prodigal Son, looks decent.

 

 

"Malcolm Bright is a gifted criminal psychologist, using his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, a serial killer father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses. Bright's only ally is his sister, Ainsley, a TV journalist who wishes her brother would take a break from murder and have a normal life. Unfortunately for his sister, the only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo. Arroyo's one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team, which includes Detective JT Tarmel, a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself."

Looking forward to "The Irishman" coming to Netflix at the end of next month.  Pacino, De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese directing.  Running time of 3.5 hours but all the reviews in so far say it's really good.

Just to make it clear for those in the dark, it's Godfather of Harlem that he's talking about.

Just to make it clear for those in the dark, it's Godfather of Brooklyn that he's talking about.

Or Godfather of Harlem ?

My mistake, rectified.

[faraday]

Is Fauda S3 available anywhere?

 

And btw, The Bureau will have a season 5!

 

[JimmyJ]

"Godfather of Harlem" = Worthless.

 

Not as rock bottom awful as "Hustlers" is by reputation (has JellO ever been in a successful film?), but bad in every way.

Was ready to quit after about 5 minutes. Hope springs eternal, and I lasted perhaps 30 minutes.

Terrible script, direction, acting, music choices all wrong (50's - I think - Harlem - or early 60's) and they're using rap music during the transitions).

Forest Whitaker is normally in decent movies, but I'll trust your judgement and give it a miss.

Why not trust your own judgement, and give it a try?

You might enjoy it.

Because I already have too many good shows in the pipeline.

[Saint Nick]

May I suggest "The Boys"?

Marketed as the "anti- Avengers", this series is way more than that!

Dark, sarcastic, bloody...there is much to love about this one!

From the people that brought you the fantastic "Preacher"!

Very good news. Where did you hear that? Does it mean he actually survived, or do they bring new staff in?

Each to their own I guess.

I enjoyed episode 1.

 

Vincent D'Onofrio is great as Chin Gigante.

Looking forward to episode 2.

Read it somewhere, can't remember, maybe Variety.

 

Nope, I think Malatrou gets out of the burning building: Somehow!

Word on the Soi is that season 3 of Fauda will start in Israel in November.

Netflix to release it around March next year.

 

The Bureau late 2020.

Breaking Bad would be in my top 5 shows so I hope this lives up to it.

If you like Vincent D'Onofrio and crime thrillers, watch 2002 movie The Salton Sea.  he is a bad guy.

One of the last decent Val Kilmer movies.

Looks good.

 

Not to be confused with a 2016 movie with exactly the same name but a totally different story ????

 

In fact “ Salton Sea “ is the title of a few movies, shorts, series and a documentary !!

Watched the movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries" last night and I had seen it before many years ago but this time round, I realised much more clearly, how Che Guevara had formed his Communist views.... "He is a symbol of radical revolution for those who are underrepresented because of capitalistic society" and this became very clear in the latter stages of the film.

 

All in all it was a very enjoyable movie and I'm so glad that I watched it again......it has subtitles in English.

"I don't feel at home in this world anymore"

Started off dull then ended in one of the most excessive bloodbaths I've ever seen.

Worth watching.

 

Pennyworth series just ended with him banging Queen Liz in a one night stand.

Also watching TV series "Evil", and "The Capture", and Sanditon", and "Stumptown"

I hope that is revealed early in the film and that you didn't give away the ending - haven't seen the film yet, and knew nothing about Marie Colvin, although now I know she was killed in Syria before I've seen the film.

are you serious?

 

common knowledge of historical events is hardly a spoiler.

 

not sure how you manage to watch war films or book adaptations.

pennyworth started out strong, but alfred lost all likeabilty and to me the show lost its charm.

And very subtle.

 

I loved it the first time I saw it. Hadn't read anything about it - I try not to know anything in advance - and didn't realize who the lead character was.

It hit me on a 2nd viewing.

I appreciate yours and everybody else's recommendations.

I don't like the vast majority, but I don't watch much of the ones that don't work for me.

Then, every once in awhile I come across a show - mainly miniseries which I never used to watch - that grabs me, which I wouldn't have watched if it wasn't for this forum.
