Well i thought i would start the year with a Christmas carol ,i cant believe what i just watched ,(all 15 mins of it) Bob Cratchet married to a black  woman ,Tiny Tim is a Dwarf? can i say that ?  a boy urinating on Scrooges grave and swearing . what a load of utter rubbish .

Charles Dickens must be turning in his grave ,why do they have to ruin a good story?

PS. I also watched the remake of Worzal Gummage, I quite enjoyed that ,no Problem at all with having Kids of colour as his friends,(its modern days not the 1800 hundreds ) little bit of preaching about the plastic ,but again no problem  .

[faraday]

Yet another Dracula show; done by the beeb you can be sure it'll all be politically correct, & gender sensitive.
????

 

 

[faraday]

Just looked at the cast of Dracula - kind of proves my point, that the beeb represent everyone & everything.

 

Or am I just too cynical...? ????

Yes, I think they covered all bases.

[ivor bigun]

Managed half an hour of Dracula ,sorry that was enough ,what a load of "all the bases covered" <deleted>. apart from that ,it was not very good either .

[ivor bigun]

Bancroft second season has started as well ,i quite like it , bases all covered in this as well ,head police chief is a black woman , and stupid police are white men. but the story at least is ok.

James May: Our Man In Japan

 

New 6 part series.

 

Summary: James May embarks on a remarkable journey across Japan, from its icy north to its balmy south. He’ll see the sights,
meet the locals, and eat the noodles in a bid to truly understand the Land of the Rising Sun.

The whole extended family watched Maleficent: Mistress of Evil last night and enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

Unfortunately I could not find any Thai subs for it yet.

 

 

[Ventenio]

I thought Dracula was worth a watch.  maybe 7/10.  Not great, not first season of Game of Thrones level.....but usually it's 100% garbage Dracula stuff and I thought some of the acting wasn't bad.  it's free....  and it got me to read Bram Stoker's book, so that's something.

 

this one is interesting.....very bi-polar reviews.  i'll watch episode 2 and maybe i'll see the light.  

[giddyup]

Pretty slim pickings as far as decent new movie releases go, but there's always a plethora of low budget horror movies available. Who is the target market for all that rubbish, stoners who live in front of the TV?

[JHolmesJr]

New series started: The Gloaming

Scandi style murder mystery set in Tasmania...liking it so far.

 

Also a fascinating doco called Root Cause that draws puts forward

some compelling evidence to suggest that dental hygiene can be

linked to many chronic diseases of the heart, kidneys, MS etc etc.

The only time a surgeon leaves dead tissue in the body is during dental

surgery...thats the starting point of the hypothesis.

Thanks for that list. 

 

I started watching The Witcher last night and both the missus and I found it both visually appealing and entertaining.

We got through the first 4 episodes already.

[Blue Muton]

Season 6 of Power has just been released, IMO this is a very entertaining and engaging show although perhaps it's not for those who prefer their cast to be whiter than white.

 

 

 

[ivor bigun]

New season of Call the midwife has started  and the goes wrong show ,amusing 

[Blue Muton]

Paul Attanasio has some pedigree when it comes to screenwriting and production, he is credited with creating Homicide: Life on the Streets, one of the creators of house and the main writer of the series Bull. His film credits include Donnie Brascoe and Disclosure, among many others.

 

Getting to the point, he has a new show starting soon, "Tommy".

 

 

Starring Edie Falco Mrs Soprano, no less.

Nice.

I really enjoy this one.

 

Seems they have a break over Xmas and release it in 2 parts.

Episode 10 aired in November and it restarts today for the last 5 shows.

 

I like to binge watch this one.

Sounds interesting, thanks. You were right to pick up on my slip-up re S6 of Power, I forgot that they held over a few episodes from last year. Split seasons seem to be on the increase lately.

 

Did anyone hear that the new season of Better Call Saul is due to air in March? I for one am quite excited about that, one of my favourites.

Thanks for that will27, didn't know it was out. In the 50s I lived quite close to that village.

 I would like to say something about police stitch ups--but do not want to post a spoiler for anyone watching it

[JHolmesJr]

I cant believe 1917 won the best picture at the Globes.

What a boring film. 

At least Gervais kicked some ass.

Looking forward to it though.

Documentary - Colin Hay - Waiting For My Real Life

 

I'm not what you'd call a big Men At Work fan, but this is a really good doco.

Colin Hay - Waiting For My Real Life' is the story of singer-songwriter Colin Hay, former front-man of Men At Work. We follow Hay from his earliest days in Scotland, through his family's emigration to Australia, to the massive, worldwide success of his band, to the depths of addiction and failure, to a slow climb back up the ladder seeking relevance, artistic freedom and ultimately, transcendence.

Back to a new year of <deleted> TV!

 

A new series of SAS Who dares wins started last night.

 

I binged in Messiah, it was OK, I think it may have potential in the Second series.

 

 

I hope Ozark returns soon.

 

The informer, worth a watch

The Scotts

Started yesterday New BBC comedy series (Yes that's how they have spelt it---and no I didn't write whats below just pasted from the site.)...You may need subs

 

"Comedy pilot shadowing a 'typical' Scottish family. As they say, blood is thicker than water -- and no one is thicker than the Scotts.

Tv series - The Twelve AKA De Twaalf

 

Enjoyed the first 2 episodes.

All 10 shows with hard coded subs are on TPB.

Summary: Twelve ordinary people are called for jury duty for a murder case as traumatizing as it is controversial: the respected headmistress Fri Palmers stands accused of two murders, one of whom is her own child. Gradually, as the trial gains momentum, it is not only Fri's fate that hangs in the balance, but also the lives of the jury members that are shaken to the core. Each jury member reacts based on his or her own personal scars and life experience. It is up to them to decide on the guilt or the innocence of this broken woman on trial.
