The First Team

It didn't get great reviews.

It was cancelled after one season. 

It fails but in my view it fails in interesting ways and is still a fun watch.

Compare (mostly contrast) it to Ted Lasso, a big international hit and deservedly so.

Super Telescope: Mission to the Edge of the Universe

RAR

 

As Nasa releases the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope, this film tells the inside story of the telescope's construction and the astronomers taking its first picture of distant stars and galaxies. Will it be the deepest image of our universe ever taken? 

 

The successor to Hubble, and 100 times more powerful, the James Webb is the most technically advanced telescope ever built. It will look further back in time than Hubble to an era around 200 million years after the Big Bang, when the first stars and galaxies appeared. Webb's primary mission is to capture the faint light from these objects on the edge of our visible universe so that scientists can learn how they formed, but its instruments are so sensitive it could also be the first telescope to detect signs of life on a distant planet. 

 

The James Webb Telescope is an £8 billion gamble on the skills of its engineering team. It’s the first telescope designed to unfold in space – a complicated two-week operation in which 178 release devices must all work - 107 of them on the telescope's sun shield alone. If just one fails, the expensive telescope could become a giant piece of space junk. 

 

From its conception in the late 1980s, the construction of Webb has posed a huge technical challenge. The team must build a mirror six times larger than Hubble’s and construct a vast sun shield the size of a tennis court, fold them up so they fit into an Ariane 5 rocket, then find a way to unfold them in space. This film tells the inside story of the James Webb Space Telescope in the words of the engineers who built it and the astronomers who will use it

The Most Hated Man on the Internet----------Doco Netflix released next week--

 

Revenge Porn & the story of Hunter Moore, the self-proclaimed "professional life ruiner,"

 

Looking forward with some curiosity to watching this---

So the sales pitch ran--"Have you been dumped by your Girlfriend/B-Friend for someone else?-- well remember when the relation ship was really hot-- just send us those "Private"  photos of her/him and we will show their friends/parents & the world.

The site isanyoneawake.com..(dont bother its closed) ran hot with "bitter" ex's posting photos from just nude's--to how many ways to use a cucumber.

 

The story also traces the woman (Mother) of one of the girls who managed to get the site closed (& him Punished)  after photos of her naked daughter were posted online.

Snubbed! Kevin Costner's anti-woke drama series Yellowstone is shut out of Emmy Awards AGAIN

Sad, yet Costner does already have 2 academy awards and 1 emmy.  I think it is shocking that the writer Taylor Sheridan has not received any recognition for 4 seasons of Yellowstone or the one acclaimed season of 1883  this year

Dreadful dumbed down and overly dramatic nonsense. They came to this with the objective of showing the victims were not all prostitutes, most were, but how does it matter then or now? 

[Mutt Daeng]

I'm half way through season 1 of Dark Winds. As others have previously stated, it's very good and I am enjoying it. Well worth a look IMHO. I got it from TGx.

I watched it the other night and thought that it was decidedly average and a little bit "muddled" in places, although the special effects were brilliant.

 

An evening not altogether wasted!

[Jingthing]

Very very dark but so far very very good.

I wasn't sure during the first episode but after watching the second I'm totally hooked  So be a little patient. This is a Korean tv series. There is also movie with the same name.

But still "Dogging**" is OK--and Brighton's is fast becoming the Mecca for it----

 

Brighton's dogging hot spots (and reviews from sex-tourists)---

**Dogging -British slang --the practice of carrying out or watching sexual activities in semi-secluded locations such as parks or car parks,

often arranged by e-mail or text messages.

I've just started watching Profugos(Fugitives) season 1. It's set in Chile and it's about a botched drug deal, resulting in four men being pursued by two drug cartels and the police. It's very good IMHO and well worth a look. Thanks to @The Hammer2021 for the initial recommendation. I got it from kickass2. The language is Spanish with hard coded English subs.

Phew - caught up to P83.  I came to this thread late & have gone through every page.  At first I started downloading every promising title.  I realised quickly that, at nearly 80, I've got more hours of viewing than my life expectancy!  This thread is an excellent idea (& I believe there's more than just the year 2022?).

 

I enjoyed the skirmishes over Woke stuff.  My view (& I only watch fiction) is if you care about the characters it doesn't matter what colour/sex they are. If the dialogue is literate or funny and not trite then it wins.

I will be publishing my list shortly but as an example of the above (K/Catherine) The Great is written in the modern idiom/has lots of taboo subjects and is very funny (2nd series struggles to maintain the jokes.)

 

[Jingthing]

Truly a classic gem of Mexican cinema. Not only highly entertaining but also gives real insight into Mexican culture

Hunted. AU........ Ch 10 Oz.......Reality show.......RARBG etc.... started yesterday

 

Light entertainment.???   This ran for a few years in the UK-- let 18 people go on the run (with a limited amount of funds)  and if you dont catch them within 21 days--then they get 100K or something like that. I only watched a few of the UK ones--pretty light weight stuff--like most reality shows, the people on the run have a camera man running along with them---so how does that work---I dont know , but if your real bored have a look.

Here are my picks during the last six months with some reasons why.  I tend to watch series not single movies.  I don't want to be harrowed so anything dystopian is out.  I like action that moves in a straight line without jerking the time line about.

Belgravia & The Gilded Age - both costume dramas from Julian Fellowes who regurgitates 'Upstairs & Downstairs' on both sides of the pond.

Stranger Things - started watching it with my grandkids who are now teenagers.

Obi-Wan Kenobi - not usually keen on the this genre.

Time Traveller's Wife. 

Wayne - ignored for some time as I associated it with Wayne's World but a clever script & memorable characters.

Safe - Harlan Coben has been a favourite author & is now being chased by TV.

Hacks - comedic observations. (S1 better than S2).

Bosch Legacy - throws off the straightjacket of police procedures.

Southland 1-5 the LA cop characters grow on you.

Signore Volpe is low on action/characterisation but the scenery is nice.

Lincoln Lawyer from another of my favourite authors.

Almost Paradise is a one trick pony but filmed in the Philippines.

 

Ten more tomorrow.

Witness Number 3-----CH 4...Crime/Thriller 4 episodes-18/19/20/21-----ChaosTV

 

Jodie runs a hairdressing salon and one day at work, she glances out of the window and witnesses something seemingly innocuous, but soon finds herself as the significant witness in a murder inquiry and facing a campaign of intimidation. As Jodie's paranoia grows, a local gang mounts a terrifying threat against her and her young son Kyle. Thriller, starring Nina Toussaint-White.

Yer he writes the Bosch series also-- thing about having good authors is you read their books as soon as possible, then TV picks them up, I done that with the latest Bosch Legacy series--good book , probably better if I had left it & watch the TV series.
