Saddam Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop. A four part documentary about the making of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film. Brilliant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sceptical at first but after a few episodes, the characters really grow on you and it was one of the only series we laughed through every episode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 R&M season 7 starts soon. The new voices are quite noticeably different to me though, and that's just from the trailer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) I'll have to give Schitt's Creek another go too, watched the first few episodes but didn't really get into it. I'm currently watching Justified: City Primeval. Note to the people who made the ill-judged decision to revive Dexter (the reboot was better than the truly awful final season of the first run but that's not saying much), THIS is how to reboot a popular TV show. I like Timothy Olyphant, he's got a bit of that laid-back charisma that kinda reminds me a little of the late, great James Garner and it's nice to see Raylan Givens back, like meeting up with an old friend Edited September 28, 2023 by Boojum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pace and writing is top notch. The characters are fantastic and as it's basically set in the Motel and the town you get really involved. We are now starting to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. I know it's old but we have never watched it. 4 episodes in and I like it already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Watched the first season of American Horror Story. Utter garbage, but what kinda stood out was US network TV's very peculiar brand of puritanism - it's OK to show gratuitous violence, but not women's breasts (especially bizarre in a show that features so much sex and sexual violence). The USA is a country with some very strange (and troubling) attitudes. Edited September 30, 2023 by Boojum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunx Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Dr. Death (2021): Almost unbelievable, gut wrenching true story of a clearly psychopathic surgeon, who leaves a trail of maimed and dead patients as he butchers his way across Texas until Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater, as the surgeons who finally stop him, fight their way through the completely dysfunctional and entirely profit based US medical system for several years. Makes the NHS look utopian. If you still have the stomach for it, there's a documentary series, Dr. Death: The Undoctored Story (2021) covering it's reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) That was on Channel 4 recently, I was gonna do my usual thing and wait for it to finish then watch it all cos I'm a binge watcher, but they took the earlier episodes down before the series had finished (I assume they didn't pay to stream it for long enough). I guess I'll have to watch an, erm, less official source On a similar note regarding the appalling US profit-based 'healthcare' system and the damage it causes I've just started watching Dopesick, about the opioid crisis in the US (I already know the facts, I've read a lot about it). As with all 'factual' dramas it's fictionalised in part, scenes/chaacters 'created for dramatic purposes' etc but an episode in, taking it as just a TV drama, it's pretty decent so far.

Shaunx Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 added Dopesick to my watch list, thanks for that. Already watched the Painkiller series which also covers the crisis and the Sackler family, all of whom sadly, still remain unincarcerated and breathing the evil cunts. Binge watching definately my choice too, particularly as age (errr maybe weed too) appears to be limiting my ability to hold a plot in my head for a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Dopesick is the better of the two, not even sure why Painkiller was green-lit, it's basically exactly the same story, beat for beat. C*A*U*G*H*T Australian 'comedy' about some soldiers getting caught by militia and being held as hostages. Pure garbage apart from the koala scene which was pretty hilarious.

Saddam Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The Ahsoka finale managed to descend to a whole new level of suckage in the Star Wars universe, we now have spells which can manifest solid weapons in the form of flaming swords and zombie stormtroopers. You couldn't make it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Why do you inflict it on yourself though @Saddam? You could always just not watch all the 3rd rate Star Wars spinoffs Edited October 4, 2023 by Degsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I'm a member of the rebel alliance and do my part by watching the $100 million spent by Disney, not on their app but on a free streaming service. Fuck the empire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
