TV Series

[cronullasharks]

I’ve watched the first 6 series over the last month. I nearly gave up after a couple of episodes, but, I’m glad I didn’t. Seems to get better as it goes on. Very enjoyable.

Good to hear, kinda running out of things to watch so this will keep me going for a while.

Anyone fancy a light-hearted comedy? I just finished the first season of Superstore on Netflix and it's quite good. Set in a supermarket in St. Louis, vaguely Scrubs / Brooklyn 9-9 style. Aside from the lass who played the lead in Ugly Betty, there's no-one in it I recognise.

Just started Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories on Netflix.

It's great. It's about a chef that opens his noodle bar 12-6am. It's just him cooking and chatting to the few customers and them chatting amongst themselves. It's fictional.

I'm probably describing it badly. It feels a bit like being at the bar in your local. Different characters, stories etc.

I've started to think your YouTube travels could be worth its own thread.

Maybe a few of us could get the same flight. You and @Nymzee sat together on a long haul.

If they hate subtitles they probably only watch Last of the Summer Wine anyway.

some of the best shows have subs

Hmm, I'm more up for you having no leg room and @marnie not having a cigarette for 24 hours.

Why am I getting sucked into this.

I know we're meant to hate him but this is apparently pretty good

5 episodes into the Stand now,still dont know if I like it,could be bias as its my favourite King book and I have pictured how the characters look and sound so its difficult to shift my mindset from that,though it is doing a reasonable job of trying to capture the book

Most of his early books don't translate well to the big screen. I love 'The Green Mile' so much because the film is, IMHO, as good as the book. Similarly, Shawshank as a film is amazing given that the story is a novella.

One of my favourite King books is Firestarter. The relationship (in the book) between the father and daughter moved me but it didn't really come across in the film.

Don’t hold as much resentment towards him as others to be honest but that title is the worst
