The Robbie Coltrane thing?

Yeah its a good show that.

Quite old though Dave

I should had used its full title and added "edge of history" to the  end looking forward to watching the last of the series tonight.

The thing with Succession is that you hate everyone in the show. The hook is wanting to see them all fail.

I think this is why I am finding it hard to enjoy as I prefer show where there is at least one character who is half decent to cheer for. It reminds me too much of reality.

I certainly don't want Connor to fail, all the others perhaps so. Connor Roy is the hero we deserve.

Connor is also a twat.

Ewan is by far the soundest Roy.  Gerri is the least worst in the company.

Jill should cheer for Gerri

Ewan wasn't bad. I will probably try and watch it again sometime.

I don't want Greg to fail, he's too funny.

[leinad]

Greg the Egg!

I wouldn't bother. I find nothing about remotely funny or interesting.  We're  in a minority  but for some people it holds no charm.

A new Spartacus series is in the works.

Spartacus was superb, proper switch off and enjoy the violence/sex and lines like "words fall from your mouth as shit from ass"

Physical 100 is brilliant.

[The G in Gerrard]

Just started Yellowstone after hearing good things about it. 2 episodes in. Apart from the beautiful location not much happening. Worth sticking with?

to be honest it doesn’t really get going until 3 or 4 episodes into the second season.

[DrTobiasFunke]

It's the streaming service of NBC universal I think.

Didnt realised its done by the director of knifes out

Was wondering why she had that cameo in Glass Onion playing Among Us against Blanc but makes more sense now.

I thought after an interesting start it dipped a bit then picked up a lot and stayed there. I really enjoy it and I went into it not having high hopes at all. Ended up racing through the seasons.

[kavah]

ha - silly but good, I would have liked to see them all doing that pursuit running - it would even things up a bit for the grocks - although that hanging from a bar can't have been easy for the big lads either

Not sure I have desire to stick with it for season 2.

Will see.

Just finished S2 of Parks and Recreation

Enjoyed both seasons, but it defnitely picks up a lot in the second half of S2. Very heartwarming and funny.

Worth sticking with for the location. Otherwise it's mediocre tv.. Costner is great though.

Not a fan of the show? Some have told me it's the best thing they've ever seen

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

I do think you have to be a bit generous with it and overlook some things… but the characters do develop and the storylines are good and then some of the actors just pop. Costner is great, and I think the whole family, Rip, Jimmy etc come to life too. And then Beth just sort of steals the show/scenes at times.

The location is incredible too as DS says.

The danger with saying you won’t venture into S2 with shows is generally that S1s tend to end on a cliff hanger and you can’t help yourself. Suddenly you’re a few eps into the next season and the characters develop a bit more and you’re suddenly in it more.

[didi shamone]

Ciara gives it a pretty good summation.  I stuck with it because I love the landscapes and the while ranch vibe. There's some good characters and actors.
That Jamie lad is hard going though. Proper ham actor

This most recent half season was pretty poor in the sense that it didn't really go anywhere. I like a good backstory, but it got to the point of belabouring, I felt. The showrunner, Taylor Sheridan, is writing something like four series simultaneously now, and this season really suffered from it, as if he'd put it on standby - running, but running in place. The parts where they wank themselves silly over cowboy life are a bit hard to take, too.

Not even watched a trailer but I have watched all of 1883 (decent tv) and the 1st Ep of 1923 which looks like it'll be very good,top cast as well.

[S]

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

[redk84]

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

Tulsa King - silly but enjoyable
Last of Us - don't get the hype but is good so far, reminds me of walking dead. Hope it isn't drawn out as long as that though as will most likely ditch it like WD
You - find this a show I keep coming back to to see how it ends but am enjoying the latest season, format a bit different. Interesting enough

That's the redk wrap

When is the next half of this season?

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.

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.

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!

Just watched the first episode
