Tv series

I am still watching Designated Survivor, is it just me or does it start being a bit of a mental watch half way through series 2?
Yeah it's like they chuck a few dozen plot ideas in a hat and just pick it out 3 or 4 of them at random for every episode. Then bodge them into a storyline that needs wrapped up in 40 minutes. Still entertaining but you really need to suspend disbelief to go along with it.
 
The wife and I just finished watching Brand New Cherry Flavour on Netflix. It's fucking bonkers but well worth a watch of you're up for some horror-tindged, darkly comic, trippyness.

Witches, curses, people vomiting up kittens... That's all in the first episode, it gets weirder from there. All played very straight though with no fourth wall breaking, or winking at the camera.

It reminded me of glossy, gory version of Twin Peaks.

Great early 90s alt.rock soundtrack too.

Binge-watched “The Mist” on Netflix last week, not as good as the film but quite enjoyed it. Shouldn’t have bothered though as it appears the show got cancelled and there is no season 2! 😩

Ah well, at least you won't have to go through that ending again.

I like the movie version. I wish it had used practical effects though. The early 00s CGI really dates it at times.
 
I recently finished and enjoyed Designated Survivor and last night finished the very decent The Defeated on Netflix.

I’ve just finished rewatching The Sopranos, I think it’s the third time I’ve watched the entire show all the way through. Simply magnificent.

I’ve enjoyed watching plenty of other shows over the years, but The Sopranos is still just that little bit better than anything else.

Couldn't agree more.

Started watching 'Your Honor' with Bryan Cranston. Two episodes in.
Decent and looks promising. The series, not Bryan.


Bryan says it's good too, but he's away filling up the glasses in the kitchen just now.

For you horror fans out there...I really loved Marianne on Netflix. French horror series that was really good. Sadly, Netflix cancelled it after one season.
 
I’d probably watch 2 and 3 then give up,it’s starting to go on and on.
I would agree. I really liked it to start with then got bored with the smart arse, super intelligent dialogue. Nobody talks like that constantly , Chuck can’t order a sandwich without making it sound profound and dramatic.

Thank fcuk for Wendy.
 
Kin, about Irish gangsters in Dublin. Excellent.
 
Seen it on Kodi Mark. Also watched penultimate Vigil, thats good tv as well.
 
Saints of Newark, it’s a film about The Sopranos in their teens. No a patch on the tv series.
 
Binge watched Vigil which was very decent. Not sure what to tune into next? Might try Kin if I can find it on EyePee Telly V
Get it on Kodi Mark, it’s good.
 
Dinnae gave Cody but it’s in extreme
K, I forget there’s tv series in that, I only use it for the sports. I use a Kodi and few others for tv and movies.
 
Mate said it was absolutely dog shit. Don't think I'll bother with it. Series was immense!

I really enjoyed the film. I didn’t expect it to be The Sopranos, but as a prequel it filled in a lot of plot points built the backstory. As a stand alone film I’m not sure it works, and it’s not the show.
