OV9

I’d forgotten just how good Game of Thrones was and how absolutely epic some of the big fight scenes were.

I think I'll watch this again from the start, have to find somewhere streaming it.

It’s one of my favourite series of the last year and is right up there for me with the best series ever made.

Features some amazing music too on the soundtrack and the motion score by Trent Rezmor & Atticus Ross.

Episodes 7,8 and 9 not available in my region. Utter, utter cunts

Yeah, it's silly, so I guess if you don't like that sort of thing.

Enjoyed it in a brain out kind of way - presidential text messages

Wife and I have just finished S1 and really enjoyed it. My favourite but was Malkovich's drunken argument with himself.

Examined the page source and got round it. You shits.

I’m only a couple of years late . Stuck on S1E1 of Sinner last night - we headed to bed after “having” to watch to the end of E5 . Gripping stuff.

I’ve never heard of this show but it looks interesting so that’s next on the list, thanks for the recommendations.

Game of Thrones rewatch.... Genuinely forgot how amazing it was at its peak - which I think lasted 7 seasons. Amazing characters, epic action sequences and so many shocking plot twists and surprises. Without the break between each season, the story just keeps flowing and you don’t have to resort to googling characters to remind you what they’ve done and why they did certain things, or what the significance of places and objects are.

There’s so many different tales of redemption and wonderful pairings of certain, often unlikely characters when they end up thrown together by circumstance. Jerome Flynn still rocks, as does The Hound, Tyrion, Tormund, even Arja.

Season 8 starts ok, but unfortunately quickly turns to horse shit. That battle, the one which we’ve known has been coming for 7 series, ends up with such little real cost being paid by the core characters that it’s beyond belief. Watching it for a second time, its even more disappointing that season 8 was so short and still feels very rushed. They really didn’t stick the landing, not even slightly.

Still, definitely check it out if you’ve never seen it, it was on track to be one of the all time greats and there’s so much to enjoy in it.

And there’s the theme tune, which my wife still sings along to with “tits and dragons” being the main refrain.

Think really only The Hound got a decent ending in S8. Glad I binged then all before the final series.

Just finished season 1 of The Sinner. Wow... thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah we did that Sunday night

Couldn’t handle the stress is Series2 last night, plus 10yrs A Slave was on Film4 and is fabulous, so watched that instead

Might start tonite though....

wait til you see the sequels - I think “12 years...” is the best.

We've only started watching this a couple of weeks ago and on series 4. It's easy watching.

It's pretty true to the books too - they're worth a read.

Just coming to the end of S3 of this, very good. J Edgar is a legend. Liked Jamie Hector's character in the Wire too.

Started watching Sons of Anarchy while I’m working. It’s the dumbest show I’ve ever seen but it passes the time

Sinner sound worth watching then?
I have all Game Of Thrones but have only watched the first episode.
