Anyone else tried watching The Gold on the Beeb? Watched the first ep and tried the second but how on earth they made a drama about such a famous heist so boring and predictable I'll never know. Some of the acting and directing is awful.

Agreed, I gave up on ep2  same with Better, which I was really looking forward too

Django. Sky Atlantic, Friday 23rd.



Django is a jaded cowboy in search for the daughter he thought he lost. He stumbles upon a town called New Babylon where all outcasts are welcome, and everyone is equal and free. Django discovers that his 20-year-old daughter Sarah is alive and set to marry John Ellis, the founder of New Babylon. Sarah - who blames her father for the death of their family, massacred many years earlier while he was at war - wants Django to leave. But he refuses to give up and does everything in his power to get a second chance with her, becoming a valuable ally for Ellis, who must defend the town from Elizabeth Thurman's attacks. Unbeknownst to them, Django, John and Sarah are linked by a web of secrets and a dark past bound to resurface.

I hope it’s more Corbucci and no Tarantino.

Haha, it worked.   

[BarryCrocker]

Blitzed through Slow Horses in no time at all. Brilliant series.

Did both season over the Christmas/NY period. Finally, started and ploughed through Top Boy Seasons 1 & 2 and am now hanging for season 3 to land in Oz. For some reason it reminded me of Gommorah.

I binged the whole 6 episodes over the weekend. I thought it was great.

Dushane is Genny, Sully is Ciro?

Or other way round?

Interesting thought(s)...

But who is Pit Bull? 

[redk84]

Where can I watch Gomorrah?
Hear it's a classic

[RedSince86]

Anyone caught The Gold on BBC, brilliant viewing.

Episodes are all up on Sky.

Watching The Offer at the moment and it's fantastic, I thought the guy playing Robert Evans was over doing it with his accent but I have seen an old interview with Evans on youtube and it is spot on!

[Buck Pete]

Just watched the first episode

Brilliant

[jillcwhomever]

I saw a trailer for the Gold I will give it a go.

[Trada]

I haven't watch Yellowstone or any of the spin offs.

But I will more than likely watch the limited series 1883 the Bass reeves story spinoff.

Always found him interesting and rumoured to be the real life person the Lone Ranger was based on apart from him being a Black lawmen one of the first and he killed 14 outlaws and over 3000 arrests without being once even wounded.

[red mongoose]

When is the next half of this season?

Looks like it is coming back for six more eps this summer to finish off the season.

[Trada]

Have to say how great The Orpheus Syndrome, episode 8 was of Pokerface and Nick Nolte was brilliant in it as the old Special effects person who was big in the 80s.

It was like the outer limits or the Twilight zone with some Columbo thrown in of course.

^ ha - right, good synopsis Trada, I've enjoyed this show, a real blast from the past, and very well put together. I'd watch that stop-motion animation Nolte's character was was making

[duvva 💅]

Anybody watch Endeavour? Final series starts tonight. Never really watched Inspector Morse or Lewis but really enjoyed Endeavour, I think the period setting helps. Shaun Evans and Roger Allam are excellent. Didn’t actually realise Shaun Evans was from Liverpool until I watched Vigil.

[Trada]

Watched the 1st episode of the new Prime video series The Consultant very strange not sure what to make of it right now, I think he's The Devil but I'm sure that's what you are meant to think after the 1st one.

Isn't Endeavour about the younger Inspector Morse? I only watched a few of the the IM. I couldn't really get into it. I knew Shaun Evans was from Liverpool though, I saw him in a film in which he starred with Andrea Corr.

Yep it’s Morse from when he’s just starting out in the mid 60s. I can’t get into Inspector Morse (with John Thaw), either but Endeavour is a much better programme. Think we just happened to catch one, were hooked and went back and watched it from the start.

I thought this a was movie, when i saw the trailer a few weeks ago.

Even better now, definitely be watching that.

[Sangria]

Saw some Yellowstone chat...stick with it. Amazing show - great characters

Tulsa King - silly but enjoyable

I swear that's Ian McShane, not Sylvester Stallone.

[Trada]

This looks interesting and with a massive cast.

Apple TV do make programs that are a bit different and looks very expensive to make.

I have a feeling it will it will be hate by some sections as being to woke or something like that.

Watched a couple of episodes of 'Fleishman is in trouble' on Disney Plus. I think it's excellent. Jesse Eisenberg is the lead and it's about a couple that got divorced and how he navigates life with his kids etc. Great writing, acting and funny at times too.

That's a ridiculous cast, I have no idea how I've managed to get two weeks away from release without hearing a thing about it

Apple TV have been quietly making some great stuff lately, so I'll probably watch this just for that reason.

[Lee1-6Liv]

Halfway through 1923, enjoying it for the most part but the story about Spencer in Africa is tedious, he is supposed to be this master hunter when all he does is point his gun and blasts animals dead from point blank range and the love story between him and Alex would be too cheesy even for a Mills and Boon novel.

Just started watching the opener for season 6 of Snowfall.

You've all got to get in to this. I've watched 6 of 8 and it's superb. Really hope the final two don't disappoint.

I enjoyed it but didn't leave me hoping that there's a S2

[Baby Huey]

Decent opening episodes.

Anyone ever watched Mr Mercedes? Started it after seeing Gleeson in Banshees and Paddington 2. Decent lead, first series was a solid watch but now the second one has a very very shaky gimmick at the centre of it. Not sure if I want to continue on. I know it ran for 3 series overall

[kavah]

Decent opening episodes.

They document the evolution of street / trainee fashion fashion quite well, and the whole  Los Angeles / Contra crack / CIA trade

I did the whole 3 series during a lockdown. Goes in another direction to the first two. I kept with it as I love Brendan Gleeson as well as Justine Lupe (from Succession).

Speaking of 'Mr' shows, I've said many times on here before but 'Mr Inbetween' is a must see. Australian TV at it's best. Only 3 seasons (26 episodes) averaging 20-30mins. Scott Ryan is phenomenal as the creator and lead character.

[kavah]

^ great show that Barry. I think it was your shout on here that lead me to it.

Agreed. Mr Inbetween is one of the best shows I've seen in recent times.  Perhaps ever.

Gritty, funny, shocking, violent, scary, tense, exciting.  It really does have it all.

I totally recommend it to everyone.

When's it air in UK on normal streaming services or UK TV?
