Boojum Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 I've watched the first episode of The English and enjoyed it, will definitely watch the rest. Thought Homeland was shite, though, I've got bipolar disorder and thought the portrayal of it was sometimes sensationalist nonsense and occasionally downright offensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Gave the first couple of episodes of Wednesday on Netflix a go. Looks nice (as you'd expect since it's directed by Tim Burton) and the lass in the title role is very good, but the writing/plot is pretty average, it's like they took some generic Harry Potteresque/'Young Adult' story and shoehorned Charles Addam's characters into it. Disappointing. Started watching Unforgotten on the ITV streaming thingy, watched all of season 1. It's hardly cheerful TV, but it's pretty good (they've changed the ITV streaming thingy and it's got much more on it than it used to, whole series of stuff they used to just have the most recent season of and a lot more movies).

Boojum Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Season 2 of Unforgotten went to utter shit in the final episode. Strangers on a Train, criss cross Just fucking daft. Decided to re-watch Fleabag. Cos it's just absolutely fucking superb, one of the best things I've watched for pretty much as long as I can remember. Seriously, if you've not watched it cos you don't think it's your kinda thing give it a look anyway, cos it's not what you may think it is and it's brilliantly written and acted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kal17117 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Just binged watched This is England. Fuck me. What a roller coaster ride that was. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm watching another one that I missed, Veep. Kinda skipped past it cos I saw Julia Louis-Dreyfus and couldn't get past the fact that she was on Seinfeld (which I absolutely loathed), didn't realise it was Armando Ianucci (who I really like). Kinda a less full-on, more USA network-friendly political pisstake than The Thick of It was (with no gloriously foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker) but still razor sharp and very funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojum Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Been watching Lost in Space. Pretty decent reboot (far better than the bizarrely overrated Battlestar Galactica, which started off OK I guess but degenerated into fucking nonsensical Mormon claptrap ). My main gripe is if you've got a person in a suit playing the robot then for the love of God employ someone who can stand properly still in scenes when the robot is still, or use an empty suit or something, cos seeing the arms move even slightly breaks the immersion, a robot not moving doesn't fucking move. At all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
