Just finished watching Season 1 of Landman, with Billy Bob Thornton. 

 

Having lived and worked in the oilfields of Midland, Texas, they got a lot of things right, even if it was way overblown.  But nobody'd watch it if it was 100% realistic.

 

Worth a watch, 10 episodes.  BBT is always great.  Looks like they're shooting for a 2nd season with the cliffhanger.

 

(Or maybe you had to be there to enjoy the show)

 

no i liked it too. and never been to Texas

One of the better things to come out lately. Landman and the agency are at the top.

 

Watched the gorge last night. Around a 7 And definitely watchable if you like sci-fi.

I tried for same reason, TH, but didn't make it through Eps 1.  Just a silly soap opera for the brain dead ... IMHO

 

Also tried watching Zero Day, continued through eps 1, though I hate DeNiro, and dozed off during eps 2.  Might give a another go, since already downloaded them.

 

DeNiro one of the most overrated character actors out there.

 

Watched 'The Firm' 2012 TV series, and enjoyed it, till the end, as the 2nd big 'case', ends with a slight cliff hanger, and there is no season 2 ... WTF

Dope Girls from BBC is a six-part historical drama based on Marek Kohn’s Dope Girls: The Birth of the British Drug Underground. Set in early 20th-century Soho, it follows the lives of Kate Meyrick and Billie Carleton, key figures in the rise of Britain’s drug trade. The series, featuring Julianne Nicholson and Eliza Scanlen, explores crime, power, and survival in a turbulent period of British history.
 

Disclaimer: May not be suitable for those socio-politically or DEI challenged.

Also, regarding the production: Directed, written, and starring De Niro—not the No. 3 Best Actor of All Time (IMDB) after Brando and Pacino, or to some, one of the most overrated and hated.

Zero Day

Whole series has dropped.

 

 

Thanks for the heads up @Will27 so I downloaded and watched the six episodes over two nights, and I was expecting quite a lot more from this because the initial premise promised a lot, but delivered little. In fact for me it had a "lapse" (did they run out of ideas?) and a poor ending.

 

Overall I was disappointed with it, sad to say.

The Southport Attack: Panorama

 

This was both heartbreaking and infuriating.

Last month, Axel Rudakubana was sentenced to at least 52 years in prison for the murder of three young girls – Alice da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King and Elsie Dot Stancombe – at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport. It’s a story that horrified a nation, but more answers are needed.

Panorama’s Judith Moritz speaks with survivors and investigates how the authorities missed so many warning signs about the teenage attacker.

Dropping now.

Dope Girls

BBC Crime / Drama 6 episodes --all out now   IMDB  8

With Hard Subs

 

It follows the birth of the nightclub scene in London's Soho 1918

 

Blurb--- An excellent drama, with a totally fascinating story-line, great acting and superb dialogue. It manages to be both colorful and murky at the same time. 'Dope Girls' goes some way to blowing away the cobwebs left by the usual stodgy old TV thrillers.

Presence. Not usually into these kind of movies, but found this to be very entertaining, well acted and beautifully shot. The director is Steven Soderbergh who did Sex, Lies and Videotape as well as Traffic.

I think what is listed as episode 2 is actually 1, maybe 1 and 2 together.

Nope, I'm wrong, episode 1 is missing. Strange that 2 and 3 are available and not 1.

An episode being listed as "episode 2" when it is actually the first episode can happen due to a few reasons, most commonly because the first episode is considered a "pilot" episode which is not always included in the official episode count on some platforms, meaning the second aired episode is technically listed as "episode 1" but appears as "episode 2" in the overall series numbering. 

 

Google is your friend.

But not in this case. Episode 2 appears to be actually that, episode 1 is not available that I can see.

I watched the movie "Companion" last night and it was only just better than average and just enough to pass for an evenings entertainment.

The One That Got Away   ---  Cleddau

6 episodes  IMDB 6.8 Crime -Thriller  

I think you will find this difficult to get a download on other then the  BBC   iPayer  or somewhere like Chaos----but will put it out there anyway, because I know a lot of you have iPlayer

and someone my find it as a download.  It was released by BBC4 in 2024  as Cleddau  Welsh for the one that got away---Language Welsh ---with subs. They then released it this week as full English Language

 

Blurb---The One That Got Away is a murder mystery and a love story. The murder of a nurse sends shock-waves through a small-town community in this emotionally charged and psychologically driven thriller which twists and turns towards a heart-stopping finale. "The hunt for the killer, whose modus operandi echoes the historic Heart Knot Murders from twelve years ago, will re-unite ex-lovers, DI Ffion Lloyd and DS Rick Sheldon. In the Welsh coastal town of Pembroke Dock, in the dead of winter, they set about finding the killer while revisiting the past with devastating results. The historic murders were committed seven days apart so it’s a race against time to catch the killer before they strike again. Everything is at stake personally and professionally.

 

From the original last year---
