episode 4 is better than the 1st 3

 

See how 2 guys on electric motorcycles, (and one running gasoline,  plus a whole bunch of other's in 2 electric SUV's, 1 flat bed truck with a huge Generator plus a regular van

and untold amount of fixers, assistants, hanger oners plus plus)

I find the annoying thing about Long Way Up is that annoying, you know, Americanism that has, you know, crept into, you know, the way people are, you know, speaking these days.

 

One guy, you know, managed to get 'you know, you know' into one sentence. Its very distracting and brings nothing to the plate. The scenery is stunning but not taking the cold into account with battery powered bikes shows a bit of naivety. To their credit though they took two basically prototype electric bikes and trucks on the journey (albeit with a diesel jenny truck in reserve at times). I will stick with it, possibly with the volume turned down, you know. 

 

Don't get me started on the use of the word 'like' ????

Good lord bird>>> about john Brown  ++

 

Grayson Perry's Big American Road Trip;  3 part series focuses more on American people and the politics. 

 

"Next", series 1 episode 1 available for dl.

Just Dl'ing episode 1, mini series,  gets a good write up.

 

The Queens Gambit  

A post has been removed that is in the wrong forum.

 

"the trump show"
"first ladies"

Great thread, just what I've been looking for...many thx to Beachbum.

It's going to take a long time to read it all (I haven't got past the 1st 2 pages yet) so apologies if these have already been suggested: 'The Fall', a seriously good crime drama imo as a bit different from the rest. only 3 seasons, well worth watching.  'Hell on Wheels' & 'Deadwood', older western series (good writing & acting imo).

Cheers, Ray.

"Roadkill", series 1 episodes 1 & 2 available for dl.

 

Roadkill (TV mini-series 2020)

Thanks Beachbum, Hugh Laurie is a top actor imo so I'll certainly watch this one. Btw, another v good tv series that is a bit different from the rest is 'Gentlemn Jack' (sorry if thats already listed but still havent gone through all the thread :-))

Series 2of 'The Alienist' has started and available for DL. Good crime period drama set in 19th Century US of A.

The Mandalorian season 2 has just started.

Are we allowed to mention Netflix?

 

If so, "The Queen's Gambit" is brilliant.

"Ratched"

Just finished watching PATRIA. A Spanish 8 part series on a famous book about the agonies suffered by families supporting ETA and its victims. Very well written, the actors are out of this world.

 

Has English subs. Trust me, even fluent in Spanish, I found it hard to understand Northern Spain Castillan.

 

 

15 Good Netflix series to watch

I enjoyed the return of Spitting Image although it was never going to be as cutting as the original series due to the WOKE, PC, Snowflake, can't upset people world we live in these days.  Puppets were great- from Boris' spinning hair to Trump's novel way of tweeting. Thai friends are amazed (and amused)  at how the Windors can be portrayed. 

 

Netflix's Mosul is supposed to be good. Part way through The Hunters with Al Pacino. First episode was a bit iffy but its hitting its stride.

you guessed right ,mind you some American series are really really good as well just when they remake a Brit series it never seems to work . mind you whatever floats your boat.

I like both US and UK versions, (I am a Brit)

I find the SVU ones should now be renamed Law and Order The Benson Show and its gone down a lot but dont let that put you off.

I found the UK was inferior and if you have watched the US versions the UK one has used the same stories just adapted for local laws etc.

Actually, Law & Order: UK was a spinoff of the original American Law & Order franchise, not the other way around.  The original American series debuted 30 years ago (in 1990) while the UK variant debuted in 2009.

Attention
