I see this as being good for people that both love and hate musicals.

 

 

 

Good call, I love this show. I was dragged screaming to musicals by my parents when I was a kid - I hate everything about them.

 

Schmigadoon is just half an hour of nice TV, No gangs, no drugs, no guns, no police, no murder mystery. I haven't seen the second series yet, but the first was quite enchanting really simple and an update on a theme, I thought Apple did well here.

Well deserved, @ 5.5 on IMDB, and consider that, very generous.  If not completely out of things to watch, I  wouldn't have bothered.

I did watch the Jimmy Savile expose and I never did like the character anyway, but this documentary really laid bare his disgusting habits, and what an evil man he was.

 

Don't remember a great deal about the Rolf Harris conviction, but what I do remember is that I thought it was a bit harsh at the time, but then a friend of his daughter came out with the fact that she had been abused by him, so that changed my mind.

He had a hit record with Two Little Boys.

Sometimes it's fun to watch an old movie that's kind of bad in a good way. Nostalgia for boomers.

(Better baked.)

I've just started season 1 of Diplomat (US version). Pretty good so far and well worth a watch IMHO. It's already been mentioned/recommended by others earlier in this forum. Thanks to those posters who mentioned it. I got it from TGx.

Steeltown Murders

 

New one from the Beeb just started.

 

It centers on the hunt to catch the killer of three young women set in both 1973 and the early 2000s, contrasting the policing methods of the 1970s with the forensic breakthroughs of the early 2000s.

It's a great series I enjoyed every minute of it.

 

 

Gave up on the English Diplomat series after about three episodes, hopeless acting, poor plots and just plain boring

Silo **** (so far)

Watched the two first episodes - I will watch more.

Interesting story.

I think I won't give too much away if I say the story so far took place inside a place called "the silo", hundreds of levels where people live confined.

Apparently, it is set some time in the not too far future, but the people forgot everything about their past, and doing research about the past is forbidden. Objects from the past are called "relics" and are for the most part illegal.

 

For the series I hope the story has a plan to breakout of the silo, similarly to "the maze runner" and have plenty of content after a breakout, otherwise this will become tedious and boring.

 

So far, we haven't seen much about the technology the silo people master and many questions remain open, where do the crops come from, where are production facilities for computer parts, light bulbs, medicine, AIR ? etc.
they have electric lights everywhere, but no elevator for hundreds of levels, instead they have "porters" which run up and down the stairs, which seems strange, because there already were elevators before the middle ages in our own civilisation. Travelling up the whole silo apparently takes a day.

That's the kind of detail that disturbs me when watching a show. If there are too many, it becomes stupid and I can't watch anymore ????

episode 3 was kind of empty, the plot didn't progress much, which is disappointing.

Yellowstone, Season5

Can not recommend this show.

Even after four seasons no signs of diversity at all. A complete lack of LGBT+XYZ themes. Cowboys forcing climate change by roaming around in their huge fuel driven pickup trucks. Old white men ideology everywhere. And John Dutton would not vote for Biden, I sadly guess.

No good! ????

then I recommend "Designated Survivor" Season 3 to you

[tgw]

I would like to recommend the French movie "AKA".

It's not a masterpiece and not super-imaginative, but it's a well made, fast-paced agent thriller, despite a few plot holes. Features Eric Cantona

Warning: bodycount ++

High Desert

 

Peggy, a former addict, who decides to make a new start after the death of her beloved mother with whom she lived in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California, makes a life-changing decision to become a private investigator.

Fatal Attraction lasted 2 episodes before I gave it up.

 

Just started on this 

 

 

 

[Mutt Daeng]

I've just started season 1 of The Last King of The Cross. Story: (Cut&paste from IMDB) Inspired by John Ibrahim's best-selling autobiography, this series is an operatic story of two brothers, Sam and John Ibrahim who organize the street but lose each other in their ascent to power. The story tracks John Ibrahim's rise from a poverty-stricken immigrant with no education, no money, and no prospects, to Australia's most infamous nightclub mogul in Sydney's Kings Cross - a mini-Atlantic City, barely half a mile long with every form of criminality on offer. Pretty good so far and worth a look IMHO. It's already been mentioned by @Will27earlier in this forum. I got it from TGx.

In the preview it shows her driving up in an old beat up convertible, and when she gets out the door falls off, that was enough for me to say, give this a big miss.
