TV Series

Half way through the second episode really not feeling it, it’s going to be hard to stick with it anyone seen the whole series?

It's just the first film in black and white.Gave up.

Just about to finish it.

It’s one that certainly won’t appeal to everyone, as it’s quite arty in the way it’s filmed in noir black and white in a mock 60’s style.

Thought Andrew Scott was perfect as Ripley, probably the closest anyones got to the character in the book. The rest of the cast not so good.

It’s certainly not a must watch.

I quite enjoyed it but absolutely did not need to be 8 episodes long. Andrew Scott was great as you say. Quite liked the main policeman too but the rest felt like they were filling roles rather than being picked for them specifically. It was shot beautifully which kept my attention for longer than it probably normally would have. Weird cameo in there too which felt completely unnecessary.

Parts of it reminded me of that spoof they used to do on the Fast Show of black and white 60’s stuff - “ poppet on a swing “

Hi have you been watching the cuckoo mate on channel 5.

They’ve taken Invincible to a whole other level this second half of the season.

Always a bit late to these things, but Shogun is miles better than anything released in a long time.

Final ever episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Brilliant. Mirrored the ending of Seinfeld with a slight twist and a nod to how they probably should’ve ended that back then.

It was great, a little self-indulgent, but fair enough it's been a great show.

'What, are you gonna adopt a 40 yr old?'
Im still chuckling to myself at that line

Fallout getting some really, massive positive reviews

So very excited

Anyone had any issues watching animated shows on 4OD on a TV before?

Trying to watch Ninja Kamui on the tele but the picture quality goes to something from 1993.

They are based on Kanye West albums hence why they go a bit weird.

Loved Atlanta

Where did you hear this?

It got weird because Glover has full control and that's what he wanted to do with it. There were earlier episodes that were more like the later seasons. It was always a bit of an absurdist humor take on Atlanta and the black community.

This is the first I've heard of any Kanye West connection.

I'd love this to be good but it reeks of that naff Spartacus show with Hopkins being green screened in while sat in a chair wearing a toga

Walton Goggins makes anything infinitely better

Agree. The only thing it has going for it is Anthony Hopkins, overall the trailer looks proper budget. Peacock making it doesn't inspire faith either.

Someone needs to make a new Rome show. I'm still annoyed at how the HBO/BBC one ended. If they could make something like that again but with today's production standards, it would surely be TV gold.

I've started reading it.

I'm gutted it's a limited series. I'd love 10 seasons of this.

If they could put a decent script together covering Nobunaga and Hideyoshi and the rise of Tokugawa(the real Torunaga) it would make for excellent telly.
