Decent Recent TV

[Zonda_]

The new Partridge is embarrassing, not a patch on the original stuff.

[ZedLeg]

Watched Killing Eve and then Fleabag over the last week or so. Both were excellent.

Been keeping up with Star Trek Discovery but I’m not liking this season as much as the first.

[NotoriousREV]

Watched Behind the Curve on Netflix, a documentary following Flat Earthers and their quest for the truth. The best bits are the very well designed scientific experiments the flat earthers carry out, and no, I’m not joking.

i watched that a couple of days ago, I loved the bit where they changed their theory when the test showed the rotation!

[ZedLeg]

Behind the curve is amazing, the bit with the laser gyroscope is hilarious.

The documentary about the Fyre Festival scam is good too if you want to laugh at idiots.

[NotoriousREV]

Yeah, the Fyre one was great. I mean, conceptually they had an amazing idea, all the right connections and knowledge to get if off the ground, but then...car crash.

Started Game of Throne from the begining on Monday. 12 down 55 episodes to go before the final season begins April 14.

I was skeptical it would be as good as I remember it, but it really is fantastic and I'm enjoying the details more this time.

The parting of Ned and Jon made me wonder if Sean Bean had been told of its significance, he fleetingly looked like he was going to cry.

I really enjoyed that. Classic sell something and then worry about actually making it happen, with added oh fuck, we can't, and sheeple.

What defines a "top supermodel" anyway? Do they model quantifiably better than other models? Who created the ISO standard for modelling against which it's based? I don't get it.

I know a reasonable bit about how things works in the Bahamas too, so that was some added lols.

Free Solo - Wowzers!!! I heard about this after it winning an Oscar recently and watched it when it was released on National Geographic the other night. I can't remember a time when I've been so pantshittingly tense. My Palms and feet were sweating bullets as this 2hr documentary reached it's climax.

For those that don't know it's a film about a climber called Alex Honnold who decides he'd like to free solo (no ropes & no support) climb the rather large granite monolith called El Capitan in Yosemite Nation Park. It's only 3200ft (500ft taller than the Burj Khalifa) with not much to hang on to so what could go wrong??

It's a fantastic thing to watch and it's knucklegnawingly terrifying. It's also beautifully shot and the landscapes are stunning, I loved it.

[Ascender]

Can't wait to watch Free Solo, quite a coup having it on National Geographic.

I've also started Game of Thrones from the start again. Hopefully this time I'll remember who everyone is and what they're doing by the time we get near the end.

Quite like the look of Afterlife from Ricky Gervais which is on Netflix from today.

Have now added Behind the Curve to the watchlist!

[dinny_g]

Yeah really looking forward to Free Solo - Typically takes teams of fit climbers 3 to 4 day to climb it. He took 3 hours... (ands he holds the overall speed record at 1:58)

Anyhoo, Derry Girls - New series, still funny as fvck...

Took me about 10mins to tune my ears in! Especially to Jamie-Lee O'Donnell. I think the lad is a weak link now though - should've dropped him for this series imo.

[dinny_g]

Agreed - but surely him and Erin will get together this series.

Oh I see, so they have got to you, Rich and Zedleg then.

Open your mind!!!!!






Just watched it. My christ, what a bunch of delusional idiots.

You know, I think the way to destroy them once and for all would be to take their 'best' person, the one who they respect the most and send them up into space just to shut it all down once and for all.

Wouldn't work, they'd just claim they were a government/mainstream media plant.

It was hilarious when Patricia Steere was talking about how she'd been accused of all sorts and that she couldn't prove the claims wrong, even with the use of photographs or birth certificates or passports because people would just dismiss them as fake.

Spotted last night that the new series of White Gold is all available on iPlayer, so I've watched 2/3 of it already. I think it's better than the first series, which I enjoyed probably as much for the odd moments of humour as the cheesy 80s vibe.

[240PP]

I’m two episodes into Baptiste on iPlayer at the moment. Looks good, set in Amsterdam, bit of murder, bit of sex trafficking etc.

[Jobbo]

I've been watching Baptiste too; it's not bad, quite slow-paced. It's a follow up to The Missing, I think; I got bored of the second series of that.

Free Solo

Try Meru - it's Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyis earlier film. Same in close climbing feel but with more icey mountainous stuff.

Haven't watched much TV lately but really liked The Umbrella Academy - short season based on a comic about an oddball crime fighting family.

Thanks for the heads-up. Despite watching S1, Netflix didn't tell me about new episodes.
