A new couple of “new” Nordic series - s04 of wisting seems pretty polished with an orchestral soundtrack and a s03 of deadwind

 

Currently watching Tokyo vice which is pretty cool and bodies from a while back

Lousy Carter. This is pretty funny, but only for those with a wry sense of humour.

Thanks for the heads up @recom273 . I hope season 3 of Deadwind is as good as seasons 1 & 2. Haven't watched any of Wisting, so looking forward to that. I haven't come across a bad Nordic crime drama yet.

Renegade Nell entire season from Disney out now.

I never knew that in 1705 a quarter of the rural English population (rich or poor) was black.

Not to mention plenty of Asians mixed in.

 

I really hate this rewriting of history!

[BritManToo]

Passenger, season 1 complete already out,something unnatural happening in the English countryside?

Gentleman from Moscow, period drama set in the Russian revolution, looks interesting. 

 

Just downloading American Rust season 2.

Please let us know if you enjoy Gentleman from Moscow. I saw it trending but am undecided if I want to download it based on the trailer.

I've just watched season 1 (and I am about to start season 2) of Domina. It's something I discovered while reading an IMDB review of another series. I found season 1 entertaining and enjoyed watching it. Worth a look IMHO.

Binge watched the Messiah (TV Series 2020) - IMDb 7.6/10 over the weekend.

Very enjoyable!

[Will27]

Enjoyed episode 1.

In Parish, Esposito stars as Gracian “Gray” Parish, a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans. After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gray on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate.

Not for me. I found it to be totally formulaic, bordering on boring.

I'm watching this on Netflix, which offers an English-language subtitle option.

 

I can't imagine watching it without subtitles.

 

I did read the first book in the series.

 

The thirty-ep Chinese TV version gets mixed reviews, although it is exactly like the book.

 

So far I'm liking this telling of a complex, and quite frightening, arc which starts with the oft-quoted Fermi Paradox.

 

 

 

 

Didn't like it all. The brilliant scientists selected to save the world happen to be one black, one Mexican, one Asian, and a white guy who gave up science to make potato chips. Lots of melodrama, not much action. Dumbed down version of the book (although I couldn't make it through that either)

Watch the 30 eps original Chinese version ... 8.9 IMHO

totally agree. i watched the original after John Drake said how great it is... quite frankly it sucked.

new one is so much better in all aspects

btw the starlet is in another series

Quote

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

“Mr T” was in the A-Team & I believe they made a TV series called “Mr T” in the 80s. 
 

I quite like Professor T, easy watching.

Found a great movie in BBC iPlayer, but probably elsewher also, called, "Just Mercy"........a disturbing yet heart-rending movie based on a true story. Well worth a watch IMO; IMDB 7.6 rating.

[oxo1947]

Ripley --- the TV version is all out -- The Movie was good so I'll give the TV version a go--8 episodes

 

 

[Jingthing]

"History" as entertainment.

Americans anyway will know at least a little about the assassination of savior of the Union Abraham Lincoln and his assassin John Wilkes Booth the actor while attending Our American Cousin at Ford's Theater.

But there is so much more to the story.

I think this one is well worth a watch but you will be asking yourself just how historically accurate is it?

 

How Accurate Is 'Manhunt'? The True Story Of Abraham Lincoln's Assassination (variety.com)

 

SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot twists from the premiere episode of “Manhunt.”

The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was one of the biggest turning points in American history, and the new Apple TV+ series “Manhunt” examines the behind-the-scenes drama of a wartime government thrown into further chaos. Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies) leads the series as Lincoln’s close confidant and secretary of war, who goes on a mission to track down John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle) after he shoots President Lincoln (Hamish Linklater). The seven-episode series is based on executive producer James L. Swanson’s nonfiction book “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer,” and episodes will be released weekly after the first two debuted on March 15.
