Gav Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 5 part true crime documentary on Sky Crime - Murder at the cottage - starts off slow, but ends up being very good. On the same channel, if anyone hasn’t seen The Jinx, it’s a must for true crime fans, just unbelievable, with the murderer playing a staring role throughout the documentary and that’s not a spoiler.

arbitro Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 I watched Believe Me on Netflix last night. What a superb film that really gets various emotions going. Quote

gumboots Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Going back to 'Time', the scene of dad's funeral/Sean Bean in prison Chapel with chaplain had my husband and I both in tears. The whole series was awful, and yet so compelling and understated that it was magical TV. Someone the other day suggested it should be shown in all schools. 4 Quote
Gav Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Just finished watching The Staircase, went on a bit, but compelling. In 13 episodes I never saw Michael get angry once, but 2 staircases and 2 murders……. Great Tv, but not as good as The Jinx. Thanks for the recommendation. Watched ‘The Widower’ recently, another bonkers US crime must! Edited July 31, 2021 by Gav Quote
Darrenbot Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 I'm working my way through The Handmaids Tale on All4 atm,on to season 2 episode 10 and jeez its bleak and a hard watch but i'm the kind of person that once i start something i have to finish it,i hope there's a little light at the end of the tunnel in the next couple of seasons.

RoverDom Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 Anyone got recommendations for good stand ups? I feel like there's not much good out there at the moment. I keep defaulting back to the old favourites, the new blood coming through just doesn't seem to be doing it for me when I see clips of them on panel shows etc. Quote

Absolutely class, in the vein of Chris Rock. I’d recommend Chappelle’s Show first like. All on Netflix too! 2 Quote

It’s a bit of a niche one, but as I love hip hop and lots of the things he references, I definitely get it more than most would! Quote
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 “ An Inspector Calls “ was good last night on BBC 4. It’s an old story but it’s just as relevant today. Quote
islander200 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 The north water on BBC 3 episodes in and think it is decent.Good cast. Finished 2nd series of The godfather of Harlem thought it was very good Quote
Adam C Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Has anyone here watched Succession? We got into it a couple of weeks ago and found it amazing. Very funny, a mix of sharp, black humour and stupid jokes and wonderfully produced and acted by all concerned. it depicts a dysfunctional family where the patriarch owns a massive global media company, and all the family members are pretty much despicable in their own way. I gather that it is loosely based on the murdoch family so there is a lot of skewering of right wing opinion and media bias. Despite all the major players being so vile I normally find myself feeling sympathy and rooting for some of them, testament to the stellar writing and acting. It’s created by Jesse Armstrong, previously famous for his work on peep show and I think he also worked with Chris Morris on four lions. It’s now my top recommendation to everyone I talk to about box sets. You can get it on sky Atlantic in the UK. Third season starts in October as well 😀 Quote
arbitro Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Anybody who likes a really good drama should download Help which was on 4seven. It is set in a Liverpool care home during the at the start of the pandemic. Another reason to watch it is because of Stephen Graham and Jodie Comer. It's Graham at his brilliant best. 3 Quote

chaddyrovers Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Has anyone watched Billions on Sky yet? Watched the First 4 seasons and its been brilliant to watch. Damien Lewis is a good actor. On to 5th season now.. Anyone watched Cobra on Sky one/demand yer? Brilliant season..Well season 2 is on from 15th October Edited October 3, 2021 by chaddyrovers Quote
den Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Sky are bringing out a 4K TV that doesn’t need a satellite dish, a set top box or any cables other than the power cable. You can pay for it interest free over 48 months. I reckon it will appeal to a lot of people. https://www.whathifi.com/news/sky-glass-tv-confirmed-with-built-in-sky-q-and-dolby-atmos-no-box-no-dish-necessary https://www.sky.com/glass Edited October 7, 2021 by den Quote
