Decent Recent TV
Re: Decent Recent TV
A bit behind the curve but I have started watching the Walking Dead with the kids.
Just started S3 and 9 nightmares out of 10 so far

Re: Decent Recent TV
Even further behind the curve, I started the Sopranos last night...
Re: Decent Recent TV
I’m playing serious Catch-Up with Box Set TV. Gammorah is on the list but we’re already planned Killing Eve, then The Wire after Sopranos
Re: Decent Recent TV
That's one my other half has been going on about - Female Protagonist I suppose...

Re: Decent Recent TV
Killing Eve is very good for the 1st series imo. Then reasonably good for S2, then ok for S3 and S4 is a bit meh.
1st series is definitely worth a watch.

Best show ever IMO. Just got the mrs to watch it this week and now she’s pretty hooked.

Jodie whatsherface's accent bugged me too then I realised I was because it's just like Constantine from Muppets Most Wantedmik wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 10:32 amMr mik and I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of KE, but we collectively lost all interest - haven’t seen any of the new series.
Re: Decent Recent TV
Watched Derry Girls S3 E1 yesterday. First 2 seasons were great, but couldn’t get into this one at all.
Someone has clearly polled public opinion as they seemed to have decided that “if people like X, then they are going to love 10X”.
10 seconds of some irrelevant 90’s tune squeezed in every couple of minutes. You like it when Clare gets in a complete panic, and her face contorts as she runs out of breath trying to get her point out? OK - we’ll do that every 3 minutes.
Etc etc.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Really enjoyed Derry Girls Ep1- yeah it’s daft but I don’t care, makes me laugh. That’s all the counts.
Anyhoo Tony Hawk - Until the wheels fall off
Like a lot of us, I had a Skateboard as a kid but was never really a boarder (I was more a BMX’er - Eddie Fiola was my hero) and I knew a bit more of the earlier, 70’s history of skateboarding. Lords of Dogtown etc but I really enjoyed this.
I didn’t know about his Dad’s role in organising competitions and the association etc. and it must be said, Rodney Mullen is a strange character
Very interesting and well worth a watch, even if you never skated. Even the other half stayed up way past her bedtime to watch it.
9(00) after 12 years of trying out of 10

Re: Decent Recent TV
I think that's possibly a touch harsh but, having watched it last night I would say I think it's past its best. It seemed too contrived and the setup less natural than previous series. It thrived, like the Inbetweeners, on just hitting the right references of teenage years. But the 1st one at least has gone beyond that.mik wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 10:46 am Watched Derry Girls S3 E1 yesterday. First 2 seasons were great, but couldn’t get into this one at all.

Tommy Tiernan was still funny as though.
We watched Hullraisers after and that seemed promising.
Re: Decent Recent TV
I've been rewatching The Walking Dead during covid times and it was pretty damn great at its peak. I'm up to Season 7 now where the world starts to open up a bit and you have Negan and the saviours. I seem to remember giving up on it in the next season or two when it went a bit shit, so lets see if its as bad as I remember!
Cheers,
Mike.

S3E2 is fabulous so maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for E1Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 10:10 pmI think that's possibly a touch harsh but, having watched it last night I would say I think it's past its best.
