The Hammer2021 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Relentless posturing machismo and bragadichio make this series We Own This City compulsive but repulsive viewing - the BPD were so hated and distrusted by residents that it was not possible to get 12 jurors out of a hundred people who hadn't had a negative experience with the police so trial by jury was impacted. So many police were found guilty of perjury but allowed to continue working non of their subsequent arrests could be accepted. This whole mire of corruscating corruption was created by the war on drugs. The fact that police 'racism' continues even after the police force is substantially black is not really explored. Tokyo Vice is winding up and though pretty good lack energy and poor plotting at times but great sets and costumes. 61st Street is in the shadow of WOTC - shame its pretty good. Bosch Legacy is possibly better than the original very good series. Lincoln Lawer is good and has its moments but I don't like the casting of the main character Micky Haller whereas Bosch is perfectly cast. Better Call Saul remains great fun and works independant from Breaking Bad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delgarcon Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 If you fancy a light hearted comedy harking back to Ealing days, but made in 1994, Love on a branch line, a 4 part mini series, might fit the bill. There are some great characters ,especially Leslie Phillips' Lord Flamborough and David Haig's Lionel Virley, who are at times hilarious and the naked Amanda Root is an added bonus! I binge watched the series (available on Youtube) and the 3 hours and a bit went quickly by. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceKadet Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Today (19/5) is the last episode of season 1 of Halo. Sci-Fi TV series based on the famous game. Quite watchable. IMO, if you're into that genre. The only thing that spoils it for me a bit, is that the humanity in 26th century, while having FTL space ships, still use ICE vehicles running on rubber tires and AK-47 (what a resilient rifle surviving 500 years!), while the aliens have some real kickass gear. Otherwise, I think the story and FX are very good. Have downloaded the game, see how it compares to DOOM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun, stunning visuals, very emotional story, and yes, awesome martial arts. And no, I'm not surprised it didn't take with some on this forum.

mtls2005 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I LOVED "Hacks". No, it's not about computers or the interwebs. I binged S01, there's a S02.

Jai Dee Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The missus and I watched Uncharted last night and quite enjoyed it. With actors like Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, and Antonio Banderes starring in it, we were expecting something special... and although it was a fun treasure hunt action movie shot in beautiful locations around the world and had a great soundtrack, it was a little thin in parts. Quite entertaining though, and I'd definitely watch it again. It's rated PG-13 so perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Available at all the usual places in formats up to and including 4K.

Mutt Daeng Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I rarely watch movies these days (I tend to fall asleep after 90 minutes), but I recently watched The Batman and was pleasantly surprised.

Mutt Daeng Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Last night I watched Morbius from the Marvel stable and was a bit disappointed. Not up to the usual standard IMHO.
