Yer--I just watched it---its an OK watch--think I might have seen it in the 80s, I dont usually get into Agatha Christie stuff-although I enjoyed read her Bio many years ago.

One bitter and twisted lady.

Yes, sorry my post wasn't clear. I meant the whole series.

[gamb00ler]

I just watched E1 of the new Showtime series "The Man Who Fell to Earth".

Chiwetel Ejiofor gave a very good performance in the lead and Naomie was better than average for her supporting role.  I enjoyed the plot also.  I'll almost certainly follow the whole season.  E2 comes out Sunday.

Thanks.

 

Fans of The Wire should be pleased?

 

I think I'll wait until all six eps are released, then more or less binge it.

Slow movie with a lot of talking and a bit of action, but intriguing all the same, and Mark Rylance is always worth watching IMO.

Thought he was great in "The Trial of the Chicago 7."  Never noticed him before.

He was particularly good in the movie called, "The Bridge of Spies" which also starred Tom Hanks, and he played a good role in, "Dunkirk", and he is also a Shakespearean actor, and if you've never seen the TV series, "Wolf Hall", then you are in for a treat.

Quite common these days.

 

I think that's a bit annoying but the seemingly ever increasing number of gap weeks in 'regular' type seasons is even more annoying for me. The latest example being when I looked for S09E19 of Chicago P.D. yesterday only to find it's not airing until the 19th of next month, four weeks since episode 18 and 34 weeks since the season opener on the 22nd of September last year. That's fifteen weeks where they've skipped episodes.

[Blue Muton]

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here but I stumbled upon a French cop show called "Cherif [Shariff]". There are six seasons / 48 episodes. I've watched the first couple of episodes and quite enjoyed them.

 

"An unconventional and passionate police officer from Lyon, Cherif uses his own methods to solve crimes. He is paired up with a new partner, Adeline, who loves to stick to the rule book."

 

IMDb 7.1

Navalny

RAR

 

This was just superb.

Along the lines of The Man Putin Couldn't kill.

 

Summary:

 

In August 2020, a plane travelling from Siberia to Moscow made an emergency landing. One of its passengers, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was deathly ill. Taken to a local Siberian hospital and eventually evacuated to Berlin, doctors there confirmed that he had been poisoned with Novichok, a nerve agent implicated in attacks on other opponents of the Russian government. President Vladimir Putin immediately cast doubt on the findings and denied any involvement.

 

While recovering, Navalny and his team unravel the plot against him, finding evidence of the Kremlin’s involvement, and prepare to go public with their findings.

[GinBoy2]

For the SciFi Geeks, and sorry if it's already been mentioned.

 

Heavily into Halo can't wait for the next episode this Thursday.

 

I'm coming to re appreciate having shows that don't all drop at once. The excitement of waiting for next weeks episode is kinda nice.

Piers Morgan Uncensored---2 episodes  25-26-/4......Talk/TV.......ChaosUK

 

There are other people in it--Ricky Gervis I think-- but of course what made the headlines was the shouting match with his Good Friend   Pres Trump ---Shouting matches--there- always entertaining

 

*** Guys its just about the program, dont lets get into a political debate, or the Mods will wipe everything out--including my post

 

Donald Trump has stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan as they
argued over the 'stolen' US election.
The former US President lost his temper when Piers blamed Trump's
refusal to admit defeat in the 2020 vote for last year's  riots
at the Capitol.
Trump and Piers have been friends for 15 years - but he was enraged by
a series of critical comments the TV star has made about his conduct in office.

For some reason, I missed this three season series back when it came out in the late 80s. It's not too bad. I'm surprised at some of the themes in it. Three seasons are on tpb. Tour of Duty

 

 

 

Writing this just reminded me of this one again...The Boys in Company C

So, some of you you know i'm a little bit of an American Anglophile. I blame the BBC World Service on shortwave for seducing a nerdy Hispanic teenager holed up in his bedroom in the 1970's.

 

The result is a run a parallel UK network in my house so my Roku can access BBC iPlayer, ITVHub etc.

 

But I digress.

 

I ended up by accident watching 'The Thief, His Wide and the Canoe-The real Story' by accident on ITV Hub.

 

You couldn't make this stuff up.

 

I'm now worried that when I watch the fictionalized version it won't live up to the reality!
