Yes, she's fantastic. The whole show is marvelous. Disappointed to be reminded there are only 6 eps a season. Bah. I think we did 3 last night.

There is talk of a film, apparently, but the show's creators are saying there will be not be another series.Comment

And a third (the guy who plays Musa) was one of the news anchors in that series - which begs the question, how come Sidse Babette Knudsen doesn't seem to be appearing in anything these days?Originally posted by Tony C View PostComment

She was criminally underused in that recent BBC political drama starring Hugh Laurie. It wasn't great.Originally posted by Diable Rouge View Post

Wow, I'm watching the first season of Life Below Zero and I'm seeing why the show won an Emmy. Between the music and the production, it's like a different show than the later seasons. It's edgy, for one thing. I haven't checked, but I assume the production staff must have changed over the years (the first season was in 2013).Comment

I normally only keep a list for new/cinematic releases but this last year or so seemed to invite keeping a record of home viewings.Comment

It used to be Cook, Line and Stinker originally. But Captain Stinker got replaced.Originally posted by steveeeeeeeee View PostComment

I may owe some apologies. I don't think I ever expressed the opinion on here, but certainly my boss, my ex boss, the Finance girl and at least three barmaids have been told "No, I haven't watched Peaky Blinders and I never will, because it's a load of Brummie crap with a silly name."
Turns out it's rather good.Comment

Wow, thanks for sharing that, we frequently question the reason for Line's name, now it all makes sense!Originally posted by Patrick Thistle View PostComment

I'm not sure why they replaced Stinker. It might even be the same actor with a different name.Originally posted by steveeeeeeeee View PostComment

Definitely a different actor. They did a few episodes where they passed the reigns to the new one, although it was a few years ago now and my youngest two haven't shown an interest in it.Comment

Thanks, will look for that.Originally posted by ad hoc View Post
Starting The Americans tonight and may begin watching Bosch too. I see The X-Files are all on Prime, so may re-watch.Comment

Yes, the Captain is usually played by a fairly decent gigging stage actor who needs a bit of easy cash. There has been Captain Captain and Captain Hey Ho in recent years.Originally posted by Simon G View PostComment

That wrapped up nicely. They told the story they needed to tell.Originally posted by Tony C View PostComment

I saw the film 'Archive' tonight, which is a new release on UK streaming services but came out on them in the US last year and also had a limited theatrical release over there.
It's based on some relatively well-trodden sci-fi ideas about AI, consciousness and loss but executes them well with two very good central performances from Theo James and Stacy Martin, neither of whom I'd seen in anything before.
I really wish I could have seen it on the big screen as originally intended because the cinematography is one of it's major pluses along with the score and production design but it's a more than worthwhile watch on TV.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 26-01-2021, 23:12.Comment

We tried to watch Pretend It's A City last night. A Fran Lebowitz / Martin Scorcese joint, it takes an insider's look at New York City. After 20 minutes of her moaning about inconsiderate testers and tourists, we gave up. I'm sure it has a lot of appeal for New Yorkers and people who've been to the city more than, you know, twice. But it was just too plodding.Comment

Great ending, with a lovely underlying bitter irony. Warm yet never sentimental. An excellent show, possibly my favourite ever on Netflix.Originally posted by WOM View PostComment

This was superb. Slow moving, intense but always gripping. Soren Malling is excellent as the lead investigor, barely changing expression throughout but still offering an insight into the weary and scared soul beneath.Originally posted by RobW View Post
Also a word about 'Grand Designs' as another new series continues. It's a programme that I would never instinctively list as a favourite but as I have probably seen and thorougjly enjoyed every episode of its 21 series (and several more than once) I guess it must be.Comment

Almost done with Season 2 of Schitt's Creek. Shocked at how people on here didn't like it. It's one of the funniest shows I've watched in some time. And now the characters are getting more depth and the show has more emotional elements to it rather that just laughing at everyone.Comment

Finished Justified last night. Goddamn, what a show. Didn't really strive to be a prestige television show, just a very well-written show that got better as it went along, filled with as many memorable supporting characters as its leads. Was pleased to see that the final season was among its best, after it's fifth season was probably its worst.Comment

Those are both shows that just got away from me and now it feels too daunting to go through all the seasons. I just have too many shows, movies, books, podcasts, youtube videos, apps, etc "to do." I want to be with it, but I can't keep up.
Remember when it was possible to be bored?
I may try to get back with Schitt's Creek. Just an astoundingly good cast.
Justified got a bit grim and sad for my psyche. Fantastic show, of course. Same with The Walking Dead. Holy fuck, that felt so hopeless.

I gave up on the Walking Dead when they got to that suburb in Virginia(?). It was maybe season 4 or 5. Yeah, it just got too grim for me and the show wasn't really going anywhere. I had a hard time continuing after the storyline with Cutty from the Wire, the short-haired lady and those two girls.Comment
