Better watch the original Chinese version. 30 eps.

 

Yes. Watch that first, then possibly the Netflix version as well.

[gargamon]

Digging around in stuff I downloaded 4 or 5 years ago, decided to watch a couple of high rated series I hadn't watched yet. Gangs of London and ZeroZeroZero. Both were excellent if you haven't seen them well worth a look.

Apparently season 3 of gangs of London will drop later this year.

While the Breaking Dad that oxo is referring to has only just been released and not available in all places.

Hell Jumper

 

Witness the war in Ukraine through unique first-person footage as told by volunteers risking their lives to save vulnerable people in a war zone.

Totally remove any thought of watching axel F with Eddie Murphy. Absolutely woeful lame excuse for a movie.

Latest bad boys will probably get watched at weekend and I'm expecting it to be poor as the last one was . I'm sure Martin Lawrence had a stroke or something from watching it.

Started watching breaking bad again and the sopranos. Sopranos is pure gold when you watch how good it still is after all these years.

I managed to download season three of "Slow Horses", although the first of the series was in French and I couldn't change it, so I had to search again for another download, which wasted quite a bit of time so I only got to see the first two episodes.

 

One thing which struck me this time was that I'm not sure I have met or seen anyone as filthy/grubby/dirty as Jackson Lamb, because he almost makes me want to throw up when I see his greasy hair and filthy clothes, not to mention his habits, and surely no company/organisation in their right mind would employ someone this filthy.  Not sure that I can put up with another episode of this filthy individual, so tonight might be the last one!!

It's only drama!

No, really, you don't say.........my comment was more along the lines of how absurd it would be to have someone this filthy as the chief of a government department. AND I do know that it is a television series, I do know that it is not real, I do know that he is an actor, I do know that it is fiction not fact, it was merely a comment, made sort of tongue in cheek if you wish. But thanks for trying to explain it to me!!!!!!!

I’m watching Love/Hate .. currently in S03 - I kind of missed / passed it before - the first series was kind of dated and badly acted / shot - but I’m really into it now. 
 

Did anyone else catch the finale of Presumed Innocent ? I thought it was a bit of a letdown, I loved the Tommy Molto & Del Aguadio characters but there could have been some kind of clue who the murderer was, and then the last scene .. what was that all about?

I knew before I started to watch last ep a 2nd season will happen. I also knew there was a big twist.

The Night Agent is good.

[BritManToo]

Decameron entire season 1 released.

About a country house party in the middle of Italy Black Death.

Multi racial cast all with posh British accents, not to mention 2 very pretty actress almost naked.

Light hearted bit of fun with a few gory moments.

 

We who are about to die.

Complete rubbish despite much nudity. Not worth watching.

Was the same, however read an interview with Aussie first time Director Mark Molloy who said he was making an action film with no CGI. Which being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer would have been a change for him as well. Having watched it, it works, the helicopter scene flying through LA and Beverly Hills is all action. Has maintained the 80's look and feel. All 3 of the original leads have put on weight, hey it's 40 years since the original, we all age. Much better than BHC3. Plenty on in-jokes referencing the previous movies. Give it 6/10. Trust me.

If you are a British detective series enthusiast season two of DI Ray is up on TPB

Expats

 

Set against the complex tapestry of Hong Kong residents, Expats depicts a multifaceted group of women after a single encounter sets off a chain of life-altering events that leaves everyone navigating the intricate balance between blame and accountability.

 

 

 

 

I lived in HK from 6 years old until I was headhunted to Bangkok at 41.

As a former Hong Kong expat I was really disappointed by this series, it didn't really show expat life at all.  Although to be fair I only watched maybe 3 or 4 episodes because it was so boring. 

The story had nothing to do with expat life or even Hong Kong.

[Will27]

Katie: Coerced and Killed

 

Some shocking cock-ups the justice system.

 

Katie Simpson’s love for horses brought her into the orbit of Jonathan Creswell, a showjumper-turned-horse trainer with a dark history of coercive control and violence against women. 

 

When he claimed to be the Good Samaritan who found the 21-year-old after she attempted suicide, some were immediately suspicious. 

 

But for months police seemed to take his story at face value. Jennifer O’Leary investigates Katie’s terrible death and how his lies almost went undetected.

 

 

[delgarcon]

I watched this last night and it was brilliant. Jeff Lynne is such a nice guy and everyone on and off stage had such a great time. I loved the female cellist who really turned me on with her cello between her legs.  A terrific concert for all ages.

New series today. Anthony Hopkins, etc.

 

The series explores a side of Rome never before told - the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most - blood and sport.

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10569934

I found this series absolutely riveting.  The cast appeared to have been culled from Rep companies around Europe & sounded like they had no idea of what the English dialogue meant.  The plot appears to have been written on a week-by-week basis with all sorts of unbelievable situations created to facilitate furthering the story.  Despite Antony Hopkins who was very good as an ailing Emperor or very bad as an aged actor, the action/sets were stupendous.  Series 2 is summarised in the last speech of Series 1.

I am not very good at hearing lyrics, but did you know at the very end of Mr Blue Sky, when it slows right down, you think he repeats the song title, he does not, he says "turn it over" very slowly

On another note, anyone found a good link for Olympic coverage in Thailand? Has to be PC friendly

Best line of the series:

Roman guard outside amphitheatre;       Oi!!!!  You can't leave your horse there.

[TigerandDog]

just finished season 2 of Troppo, only 2 eps to go in S2 of House of the Dragon, S1 & 2 of D I Ray, for Star Wars enthusiasts The Acolyte was a good series, also The Jetty another good British crime series. If the poms do anything well it's their tv crime series. Movies check out The Boneyard.
