Anyone else watching Sherlock and Daughter

3 episodes already out, IMDB trailer looks decent.

Not sure how Brit Sherlock acquired a native American daughter though.

 

One was OK two was pathetic, will watch three tonight

Battle of the war films: Brits vote on their favourite WW2 movies of all time - which do YOU think came out on top?

Director Christopher Nolan's costly historical thriller Dunkirk proved the enduring popularity of war films to cinema audiences in the UK.

But it may come as a surprise to some that the £112million picture – featuring pop singer Harry Styles – has topped a list of the nation's favourite Second World War films of all time.

It beat classics such as The Dam Busters (1955) and The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) in the poll by Deltapoll, which surveyed 1077 film buffs, for the War Movie Theatre podcast.

Liked ep 1, and they explained why his daughter was a native American,

Starting ep 2 now.

I sort of like period dramas.

Season 3, you mean? I agree Alan Richter can't act but they managed to mangle all the other elements of the show as well. The series has been a big disappointment.

aye season 3

I knew the premise of Hacks (multi year comedic tv series) before sampling it and wasn't sure it was my kind of show, but three episodes in and I'm into it. Actually from the first episode. It's very well reviewed but I'm not sure that I'm going to watch all the seasons yet. The lead is a famous aging female comedian and I did wonder if her characer is based on Joan Rivers, so looked it up and it turns up its based on an amalgam of famous female comedians including Rivers.

The only true thing about War movies is that what you see is not what happened.

Tried watching episode three last night, can't cope with Sherlock superior attitude all the time and the incessant loud music, so no more Sherlock and his daughter for us.  🥴

I downloaded "The Accountant 2" as I liked the original movie very much indeed, however this was nowhere near it and was, IMO, a mishmash of a movie which was all over the place and had none of the "intrigue" of the original.

 

Also it looked like Ben Affleck was simply walking through the movie to get a paycheck and as for the plot – – couldn't really find it!

Great recomendation, excellent show, thank you

The other ones are good too. Long Way Up. Long Way Down. Long Way Around. There might have been more. I especially liked the one from Tierra del Fuego to LA, with the electric bike and support vehicles.
