Raylenth Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Daniel Deronda A BBC period piece based on a George Elliot novel. Lovely sets and costumes and an interesting series, very victorian in tone with controlling evil husbands and spoiled entitled ladies who hope to marry into money (standard victorian stuff really!) but I liked it.

Raylenth Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 TBBT. Just watched the final episode. I thought it was very well done and a good end to the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) The Alienist (Netflix). A very good series set in NY at the end of the 19th C about a psychiatrist (Alienist) consulted to help catch a serial killer. It's a good series to watch, quite brutal in the crimes that happen and the depiction of life in the slums of NY at that time period and the discrimination most people suffered in one way or another was eye opening, especially the fates and horrific choices the poor had to make, particularly some of the boys. It's always one thing to know it happened and another to actually see it when it's depicted realistically. An impressive cast with some well known names - Luke Evans, Dakota Fanning, Michael Ironside, Daniel Bruhl. There's a second series coming at some point which is good, I'd definitely recommend it, but with the proviso that there are disturbing scenes and themes in it.

Chris1970 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just finished Chernobyl. I still remember when it happened. The nurse at school handed out iodine pills for us to take at lunch. All the tests the government did on wild life, berries and mushrooms. At some point they still do. For me it is living history which is still as scary today as it was then.

Broo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Good Omens. The book has a special place in my heart and the series did not disappoint. Bl**dy brilliant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Series 5 of Black Mirror. Very good as always and I think they did well again with all the guest stars as it never felt like 'ohh look who we have managed to get'. The characters they played all seemed organic and not pastiches of anything else I've seen them play. Andrew Scott is always very good so his episode was as good as I expected it to be, but I found myself surprised at how much I enjoyed the Miley Cyrus episode, particularly the last half.

That's fair enough, like everything in life, it's not for everyone. I will say though that if it was the first episode of series 1 you watched, the rest of the series is very different - the first ep is hard to watch because of its subject matter, which whilst very well done and a real 'what if', it is uncomfortable viewing in my opinion. I wasn't sure I'd watch the rest based on that episode, but I carried on because I'd heard such good things and I'm glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Finished season 2 of Westworld. I am a simple creature and it was too smart for me. I am confused about what actually happened. I need tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.1963 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I rewatched Strangers (2018) that had John Simms in it (I watched it on my Blu-ray signed by John at LFFC Spring 2019) and I love it just as much as I first watched it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Just finished Stranger Things Season 3. Wow! Obviously the first season was something special, but season 2, although still good, was not as good as I had hoped it would be.They really stepped it back up for Season 3. Awesome story, awesome action, awesome monsters, awesome performances. I love this show and hadn't realised how much I'd missed it until now. Thinking a rewatch of all 3 seasons may be on the cards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Poirot's Final Case. I've been putting this off for a bit because I thought it'd be really sad but it wasn't too bad, sad yes, but not out right bawling thankfully (As I watched it at work). I don't think the story was quite as engaging as others have been, but a fine last Poirot for David Suchet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Stranger Things 3. One of the best series of a show that is in it's own right amazing, and it can't be understated how compelling this series is, so much so that I nearly missed my stop on the train because I was so engrossed in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lucas Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Finally got round to starting Marvel's Agents of Shield this week which I'm enjoying. Well I shouldn't be suprised, I've never seen a Joss Whedon show yet I didn't enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravogd Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The Kominsky Method. Old men pee a lot. And they can’t do things that they used to be able to do. Some interesting character relationships that are played very well aside this is a huge cliche from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
