I know! Have you read the book on Duncan. I have, know the story, but it doesnt ruin it. I think its really well filmed, and despite not being as Grandiose as the original still is a great watch.

Go back to it mate.
It`s a true standout tv series.
It starts off with Marty as the main character and then bit by bit, his missus Wendy, together with Ruth, just dominate the whole thing, with Marty playing an almost supporting role.
It`s incredibly well written and cast too.
It quite rightly made a star of the relatively unknown Julia Garner, as Ruth.

This brings me nicely on to the Sky version of Amadeus. The play is considered one of the greatest popular works and was adapted into what is considered one of the greatest ever films, so it already feels weird to adapt it again, but they clearly have no new ideas and nothing new to say, so why bother doing it? Every moment in the show is like "oh, this is like the film except not as good", which just makes me want to watch the film!

Same here, switched over after 20 mins, couldn`t believe how bad or how utterly annoying every single kid was.
Also, what was going on with the camera work, it was making my eyes hurt ??
It`s a shame, as I was really looking forward to this and it`s usually the type of drama that the BBC excels at.
It`s been panned in the press too.

I found it very hard to get out of my head, the image of Wendy being shagged from behind while having her backside smacked at the same time

Caught up with the latest episode last night. Really enjoyed, but I knew the end credits would roll before it kicks off!
Do wish it was two episodes a week. A 30ish minute a week episode doesn't seem long enough when the content is so good

This is the show they're pushing as the big selling point of HBO Max when it launches here in March

The Pitt is fucking great. ER was a huge part of my adolescence and a gateway TV series for me, so watching essentially 24 meets ER is a massive thrill

Anniversary - just dropped on Netflix.
Ignore the so so reviews from the critics, this is a very good film, but terrifying at the same time, as it`s like a prophecy of what the future may hold for us all.
Diane Laine, plays a Professor of politics, who lives a a comfortable, liberal life with her restaurateur husband ( Kyle Chandler ) and her left leaning, arty grown up children, in a leafy American suburb.
Her son brings home his new girlfriend, who is the author of a right wing political book ( The Change ) which espouses a one party system for America which serves all the people, rather than some of the people.
The book becomes a best seller and a political party, is formed based on the books message, funded by a mega company and as the "new " political party becomes the majority political party, bit by bit, America becomes a fascist state.
The film follows Diane Laine and her family, as they and America are ripped apart by " The Change ".
From what I`ve read, the makers of the film, where that worried about what Trump would do, that the film only got a limited release in the States, before going to Netflix, which is a shame, as it should`ve had a full cinema release, but you can understand why they didn`t.
The sense of creeping dread as the film progresses, as America slides into full blown fascism, is palpable and I had a very troubled nights sleep after watching it.
The first 30 mins are extremely slow, as things start to change and It won`t be for everyone, as it`s message is overtly political, but it`s a fantastic film, that should serve as a warning to us all and in particular anyone in the UK who is toying with the idea of voting for Reform.

Oh, you have now made me want to watch that
It`s one to watch alone, as it require`s full attention.
Even though Diane Laine and Kyle Chandler are the leads, it was the son - Josh, played by Dylan O`Brien, who stole it for me.
His change from a left leaning, would be author, into what can only be described as " Stephen Miller " was just outstanding, as well as very frightening.
