Yes, based on a true story. The blokes still in prison.
Just about to start...my mate recommended it to me. Is it a true story?
Yeah, just finished it. Really goodAnyone else watching The Serpent on BBC iPlayer? Saw the first two episodes. Very gripping
A slow burner but I rate it almost as much as Breaking Bad now. Saul is such a great character.Have you seen Better call Saul? Breaking bad prequel.
It's about Saul Goodman before he was Saul Goodman but also tells the pre breaking bad story of a few of the other characters particularly Mike.
Not everyone liked it but I think it's really good. The next series will be the last.
High concept, but they kind of have to take those risks now. The execution is brilliant in my opinion. The charm of the old fashioned themes set off against the moments of darkness works really well. Like you, I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.Seen it getting some slack but really enjoyed the first two episodes of WandaVision, it’ll be interesting to see where they take it.
Yep-what a mad son of a gun Richard Rimerez was!Anyone seen the Night Stalker on Netflix? Watched first episode tonight...heavy.
Loved the Vikings although it lost a great character when Ragnar got snaked.Currently smashing through Vikings on Prime. Pretty good.
*spoiler alert*Loved the Vikings although it lost a great character when Ragnar got snaked.
Definitely, brilliant show. Although if you get to the end of the first series and still don't like it probably not much point carrying on.I've just started watching Schitt's Creek after a recommendation from a friend. 3 episodes in and its a bit 'meh'.
Anyone know if its worth persevering with?
I'd agree. It's a bit of a slow burner but you really get into it as it progresses.Definitely, brilliant show. Although if you get to the end of the first series and still don't like it probably not much point carrying on.
I’d highly recommend reading the series of novels this is based on; The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. One of my favourite book series ever.
Not watched the adaptation yet as I’m worried it will either ruin the books for me and/or it won’t live up to my high expectations based on how good the source material is!
Just started this only 2 episodes in, have enjoyed what I’ve seen so far.Despite my reservations I started The Last Kingdom. I’m half way through series 4 and it’s fantastic.
Having read the books is both a help and a hindrance; the former as you know the characters and have connections already, the latter as the deviations from the book immediately annoy me! Equally some big and significant scenes from the book are played out fantastically and the background knowledge of the scene adds to the tension. The casting of Alfred, Finnan and Uthred are great too, although slightly disappointed with Steapa.
Highly recommended.
Have you watched all of it ? Don’t want to comment and then ruin itYeah I thought it was great, Neil Patrick Harris was particularly good. Very timely in the way AIDS seemed to appear as a mystery illness that people were quickly learning the ramifications of too
Finished watching it last week. Scary the amount of prolific serial killers there have been...seem to keep Netflix going though!Anyone seen the Night Stalker on Netflix? Watched first episode tonight...heavy.
I lke to look at the listings hereDoes anyone have any go to review sites? I’m always interested to read reviews (not recaps) of episodes, as I find it intriguing the aspects others pull out or view as significant.
I have used AV Club quite a bit but their coverage of shows has decreased and they’ve picked some poor shows to review recently too.
I raise your The Stranger with The Purge - TV series.Have just finished watching The Stranger on Netflix, eight episodes of utter dross and no idea why I watched all eight episodes (must be the pandemic). It has the stupidest most ludicrous conclusion imaginable.
Just staring season 5 of vikings on amazon prime... Amazing series
