Andrew Dwyer Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Watched True Life Crime U.K. last night as recommended on here . 2 seasons. (2021-2022) While the series was interesting and emotional as dealt with murders of teenagers mostly it was totally spoilt by the amateur narration of MTV reporter Linda Adey . Her butchering of the English language is annoying to say the least and her attempt to convince us she is investigating the cases is comical. To much turning in slow motion to face the camera and striding purposely to meet family members and police etc turned this from a serious documentary into more of a high school video project. The imdb rating of 5.4 should have been enough for me to skip this. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Black Mirror is a pretty hard hitting , entertaining drama series that is very thought provoking and at times disturbing with its views of the frightening influences of media, technology, social media, behavioural science, gaming and the abuse of power by state and corporate entities. Charlie Brooker has created a new genre of speculative fiction with a debt to Philip K Dick, Kurt Vonnegut et al in which humanity and technology collide to make entertaining but uncomfortable viewing. All episodes are different. An easy on to follow is 'Shut up and dance' about a teenager blackmailed about masturbation. A very deep episode is 'White Christmas ' about manipulation and mental torture. Another famous episode 'The National Anthem' features a Prime Minister forced to have sex with a pig. 'The Waldo Moment' exposes media mass manipulation. Definitely worth taking a look at. Very well paced dramas driven by intelligent narratives. But disturbing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be more impressed by LT when he does a documentary around the thousands of mosques in the UK to give us insights into quite a hidden and misunderstood religion and movement. LT fell into disgrace for his obsequious documentary about notorious paedophile Jimmy Saville. I wonder if his latest documentary on right wing nutters might empower them more than deflate them..They seemed a hopless pathetic bunch worthy of a comedy rather than a drama.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drama switches between the present day and the fictional 1955 plot of the book. Its very cleverly done.Adapted by Anthony Horowitz (Foyle's War) from his own book--- I was expecting something decent and it doesn't disappoint. If you want a well-written and acted period detective series with some modern twists, dive in you'll love it.

Starts off well but soon goes into the diversity land fantasy which has become almost routine these days. First episode shows a black vicar and family with a young black girl going out with a white guy. In a rural English village, in the mid 50's? The young have been brainwashed to think this was normal, instead of what it really is which is re writing of reality, yes we know it's fiction so why never a black murderer, rapist or thief? 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Bodyline (1984) IMDB 8.5 At school I was forced to play cricket and hated it because for me the only summer sport in my mind was swimming. Even so, and considering I have seen it before, I thoroughly enjoyed this mini series the second time (even though I really wanted to jump through the screen and give Hugo Weaving a good smack in the mouth a few times lol.).

Yep I think the doctor was skimming otherwise if he was the doctor only, why would he have pressurised Brian to produce more? Brian also commented about how he was coerced to sign documents he didnt understand. Sounds a bit like the Howard Hughes story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
