Really enjoying S2, gets really good when they smell blood in the water with Felix losing his grip. I've only got one episode left. Thought one was alright as it was mainly building the character. This is just a drag with far too much emphasis on parliament for my liking. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all the dealings in Govt, CIA, and such stuff, seeing him out manoeuvred and his response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Who killed Malcolm X? Looks good. A literal whodunnit as well as an wider analysis of his life and the Harlem community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the scene with him revving the motorbike as well, horrible c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Been watching Locke and Key. It’s watchable even if the acting is a little hammy at times. Kinda OFTW in that Scot, the black English dude is 27 and he was making out with Kinsey, Aled Jones’s 17 year old daughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just finished ‘Stranger’. As posted above, I guess they did almost manage to pull together the multiple threads of the story, but can’t help feeling a little disappointed with the ending, and certainly a bit far fetched!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a feeling it would go the way it did but enough doubt surrounding it that made it a surprise. Esp as you could see Amado wasn't a happy chappie with Felix in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me a we bit of Scarface and how his greed for power and money was his downfall. Bridge scene was horrifying. Pleased that he got his comeuppance. Was reading on Wikipedia that this event did actually happen but not in the timeline in this series. Netflix have a series called El Chapo which is next on my list. Justice for KIKI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Quite enjoyed Narcos Mexico, although not nearly as much as the original series. I thought it was spread a wee bit thin. Performances of Luna and Pena, then McNairy, were excellent, as was the dude who played Pablo Acosta. But there were too many characters that it was difficult to give a damn about, and it just didn't flow as well as the original series in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor that played him was a menace and was great as pablo. Even the cameo in Narcos: Mexico when he turned up to meet felix and talk and hippo potamus he was terrifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye well there's certainly something in that. I dunno, I lived in Colombia for a bit so maybe I'm just more pre disposed to liking the original. I didn't enjoy Mexico nearly as much but hard to put a finger on why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's such a fascinating character, the others are just standard issue gangsters. Wish they'd do an El Chapo Narcos series like the Escobar ones, two of them are legendary in their escapades. El Chapo liked his escaping through tunnels like Escobar too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Finished season 2 of Sex Education. Excellent series. Delighted they are making more. Was looking at the Wiki page for the show and it turns out that the actor who plays Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) actually went to Dunfermline High School and would be just a few years below me. Good interview with him here: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/jan/05/ncuti-gatwa-i-will-say-yes-to-anything-sex-educationI had no idea of his Scottish upbringing either until I saw a programme on BBC Scotland called Black and Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Chapo liked his escaping through tunnels like Escobar too. I reckon there will be a third Mexico series. It has far too much potential not to be done. Reckon it would blow the first two series out the water, too. Ep 9 & 10 were very decent though. 58 minutes ago, MixuFixit said: Escobar had an element of Robin Hood about him even if he was a terrifying monster. Chapo is a half decent watch. Ham acting though. You're spot on about Escobar. It's hard not to love the mad rogue. Edited February 21, 2020 by Dele 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair few kids in the school I taught in mentioned him as someone they wanted to emulate, not in terms of drug trafficking usually but more the sort of Robin Hood, man of the people type thing. I think his brazenness was such a big part of it - his corruption was getting himself elected, offering to pay the national debt etc. In the other series it's more your bog standard paying everyone off or shooting them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
