Good tv series

[KarenBravo]

Raised by Wolves season two has started.

The Book of Boba Fett (for Star Wars fans).

The Green Planet (Attenborough's latest masterpiece).

I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but they did make a new (final?) series of "Dexter" with most of the original cast.

Worth a look, but I was disappointed. Take a peek and make up your own mind.

Agree, they probably shouldn't have bothered. Too long since the original.

The original was an overated, vile series anyways  - with the only good charcter and character dynamic  (the cop) being killed off in the first series.

Boardwalk Empire has already been mentioned but Netflix has another programme called "The Blacklist".  An excellent show with many reviews all over the web. Check them out.

In the now usual manner, the TV and Movie industry have gone overboard with political correctness to the detriment of accuracy.

Being a bit of a fan of scifi I tried to watch the remake of "4400".  It lost me after a few episodes because of the ludicrous emphasis on black and gay characters in virtually all the lead roles. The villains were predominately white.

Cynical attempt to re write our social history and convince people England has always been diversly awash with black people. They seem to up the lies all the time, black Ann Bolyn, black Queen Charlotte now black vicars and families in a 1955 English village. If you watched it on itv half the people in the ads would be black as well!

just tried watching this ,the acting if thats what you can call it is terrible ,the last series of vikings had gone downhill a bit ,but compared to this terrible series its fabulous ,by the way did not even make it to the female black viking leader bit .minus 10 out of10

Probably plenty of members here are ancient enough to remember "The Ipcress File"  with Harry Palmer playing spy games in the sixties cold war.

 

A new mini-series has just been made and is available now.  He's no Michael Caine, but Joe Cole, in the main role, grows on you.

Started watching 1883 but too much predictable southern mumbling, bit like Reverence, too much mumbling so i eventually switch off.

 

Silent Sea was the best series I've seen since Chernobyl

Yes I have just re-watched that movie, along with another Michael Caine classic, "Funeral in Berlin".

 

Must be on a bit of a roll, because I watched "The Odessa File" a few nights back, although it wasn't Michael Caine classic, it did star John Voight, and he was very watchable.

 

Something about Michael Caine, as Harry Palmer, and he is still intriguing to watch after all these years.

Good movies and hard to beat MC, but not a shade on the book, my favourite author Len Deighton!

 

Also, for those with Netflix, "World on fire", good series.
