And partly in France and Germany.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Just realised this is based on the fairly recent Stephen King book. I added this book to my SK collection at Christmas, though have not had a chance to start it yet. A quick google suggests this is Sky Atlantic only? (I also want to see 11/22/63 but don't have Hulu either, which that was on iirc).
Left over crest; tightens.
Re: Decent Recent TV
So long as it doesn't go "the Dark Half" then it should be good.
11/22/63 as a book was brilliant - I haven't seen the series either

I was quite excited to see Treadstone appear on Amazon Prime, a spin-off from the Bourne movies.
I was quite annoyed to find it's utter shite.
Have recently burnt through Season 1 (22 eps!) of New Amsterdam, also on Amazon Prime. Feel good telly, with investible characters that's a bit cheesey but better for it.

That's that one deleted from my list, thanks for saving me some time. I knew it was too good to be true tbh.tim wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 11:15 am I was quite excited to see Treadstone appear on Amazon Prime, a spin-off from the Bourne movies.

Thanks for the recommendation on New Amsterdam, the trailer/promo keeps popping up and looks interesting although my brain seems to insist its Matthew Fox from Lost when clearly it isn't.
Cheers,

Just a heads up that Star Trek: Picard starts next week. Looking forward to this.

The show that goes wrong, is really dumb.
But I laughed quite a bit.

Richard Hammond’s Big - I thought it would be crap like his previous Discovery offerings but I found the VW factory really interesting. Mind boggling really.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Decent Recent TV
The Expanse brilliant ending to Season 4, seriously. Tempted to go and binge the books now to find out what happens.
Re: Decent Recent TV
COBRA on Sky is even worse than Treadstone. Actually watch the first one just to experience how shit TV "drama" can be, then erase it from your mind forever.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Cheers Tim - I was tempted but not now. A lucky escape it seems

Re: Decent Recent TV
Just getting back into Giri/Haji. Watched a couple when it first aired, but we had toehr series ont eh go at the time and never really gave it much chance. I saw something this week about it becoming available on Netflix now and it prompted me to give it another go. 5 episodes in and really enjoying it. It's a slow burner, and I like the way, for example, that ep4 cut to being purely flashback as to how some of the key characters ended up where they were.
Because of the sheer quantity of content that's solely in Japanese it very much feels like a foreign series, that has some bits set in London. And even then, the London settings are considerably more grimy than typically portrayed.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Tried watching this on Sat. Saw some decent critics reviewed so gave it a chance. Was actually fairly well hooked in the opening of ep1, but then massively lost interest after that. Gave up after 10-15minutes - which is when I restarted watching Giri/Haji ^^tim wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 11:15 am I was quite excited to see Treadstone appear on Amazon Prime, a spin-off from the Bourne movies.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Saw S01E01 of The Crown and yeah, this could be good.
Anyone watched the second series of Jack Ryan? The first was entertaining enough but very predictable. Maybe that the series of books through and through, I've never read any of them (though I understand they are chock full of technical detail).
Will have a look at New Amsterdam, thanks for that recommendation.

Re: Decent Recent TV
S2 of Jack Ryan was merely ok - not as good as the first. Not terrible though.
