Got her brake when she played opposite Bruce Willis in Sixth Sense Considering she's been in dozens of movies, some very successful, she has only managed to accumulate $17 mil., which is peanuts in todays world. I'm a big fan as well, but I thought her latest TV venture, Pieces Of Her, IMO is rubbish. Could not watch one more minute of the daughter.

So that was canned. 17 Mil---I guess its not a lot, compared ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Shining Vale, new TV series, Courtney Cox reprises 'Scream' as a potty mouthed post wall possessed middle aged housewife. Surprisingly good so far, the script writers must have really worked had to fit in so much swearing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK version. Not sentimental. A great find. 4 series of six episodes. Having just finished The Last Kindom, a historical drama about Anglo Saxon England I am now struggling a bit with 'Valhalla Vikings' ..lots of men roaring....Oh and an African women Viking leader! Woke casting strikes again! You do understand its all fiction, so adding an african woman as a leader is just more fiction to be more inclusive. I don't mind stuff like this as fiction is fiction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk711 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Harry---6 episodes Crime/Drugs....Kiwi TV 2013 A friend told me that there was a good Kiwi Crime show--- Harry-- He forgot to mention that it was 9 years old. So I went to look and it is still around for download-- I took it from RARBG but its around other sites. Haven't screened it yet--but as we have some Kiwi's on here maybe they have seen it. I took it because it has Sam Neill --good actor and was famous even then. IMDB Blurb = Gritty and suspenseful, this award-winning drama probes the narcotics underworld of New Zealand's largest city and the toll it takes on those caught in its grip... 6.9 rating https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2331972/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt Daeng Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm about half way through season 1 of Serangoon Road. It's a crime drama set in Singapore in 1964. Pretty good so far. Worth a look IMHO. Thanks to @BritManToo, who brought it to my attention recently. I got it from RARBG, but there were only a few seeders, so it took a while to download. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2699780/ One of the main characters is Michael Dorman (who plays CIA agent Conrad Harrison) who played Joe Pickett in the series of the same name, which coincidentally I have just finished watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just downloaded the last 2 episodes of season 2 of Van Der Valk. This is apparently a remake of a 70s/80s series by the same name which appears to be available on TPB with a small number of seeders. Must be good if it's still available now. Anyone familiar with the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea why not if its fiction what is the problem. I only have a problem with historical stuff that is supposed to be real Not with these series that are lightly based on something that MIGHT have happened in the past with a lot of extra things. I mean a Christian viking carving a cross on the back of a pagan viking female. It might have happened who knows but this is really a fiction action loosly based on vikings and some saga's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a certain female African-American director said: "no white man is going to be the hero in any of my movies." This is the woman who made Selma. She said this when an interviewer asked her about historical inaccuracies in the film. "If you want history, read a history book" she said.

sanuk711 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 McMafia..... is 'AXED' as BBC decides crime drama would be 'awkward amid the Ukraine crisis' The gangster drama, which was lauded by critics and drew in audiences of nearly 10 million during its 2018 debut, will allegedly not return for a second series. Understandable --but what a pity--one of the best Crime dramas BBC had produced IMO If you haven't seen it--still on RARBG TPB etc ...8 episodes https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6271042/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 50 year old TV it was definitely better than I thought it would be. I had just watched the second episode of the second season of the 2019 series. Half way through it was very obvious what the outcome would be. The 1972 episode had me guessing until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
