Too depressing to watch, gave it 10 minutes until the lassie started emailing her deceased BF and gave up. Need something a bit more upbeat right now. Something more upbeat? watch the short series on “how to become a cult leader” Then take on board what it says and attempt to overthrow div from the motherland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intriguing but I'd rather be pulling the strings from the shadows than over lording it in public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it does seem like a lot of hard work, time and effort that quite frankly I wouldn’t be prepared to put in either. Better to let someone else do it and be the fall guy/girl if (when) it goes wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping it lives up to the expectation at times the last season was a bit thin but was still good. Barry Keoghan and Brendan Gleeson join the cast, obviously playing some sort of Kinahan like mob. Aye I think the shows progressively got worse tbh. Didn't enjoy the last season anywhere near as the first of the Netflix ones. Realistically they should just have the Albanians wiping the lot of them but I imagine it'll end with a Sully vs Dushane head to head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Diego De la Vega Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Watched a couple of the "Untold" series First - Johnny Manziel the first freshman heisman trophy winner, was destined for super stardom but turns out was a complete bampot and enjoyed the party too much - if you watched friday night lights you will enjoy this he is every one of the football characters rolled into one The next one was Crime and Penalties - A Mob boss buys a lower league ice hockey franchise for his delinquent 17 year old son to run and chaos ensues its all a bit over the top the way the interviews are set and the people are certainly larger than life but entertaining all the same 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really snappily written. Out of interest, have you seen the TV show Dopesick? Was out a few years ago, and Painkiller seems to be the same show(well, based on some of the same people anyway). Just wondered if it's just the same story produced by a different streaming service(I think it was Disney that I watched Dopesick on, was really good, but a tough watch at times. Michael Keaton and Kaitlyn Dever were both excellent) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Recently watched first season of Wednesday. It might be the best thing I've watched in a very long time, very enjoyable stuff. Needs more Catherine Zeta Jones though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Te'o was hugely overdrafted even at the 2nd round slot, he didn't have the size or the athleticism to be even an average level talent in the NFL. Chargers persisted with him for longer than his play deserved, and he did jack shit in New Orleans afterward. Out of the league by 30. It's undoubtedly sad what happened to him, and the panic attacks will not have helped him any, but he wasn't physically up to playing in the NFL, so the whole 'ruined his potential' thing is nonsense. He got found out in the exact way that a lot of people were predicting well before the GF thing even happened. I suppose the truth wouldn't make such a great documentary though. A typical case of a college player being totally overhyped because of the profile of the programme, and the adulation afforded to college stars. Great college player, very poor NFL one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Read a thing yesterday which said Band of Brothers and The Pacific are coming to Netflix next month. Hopefully it's the UK and not just the US 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't go into it thinking it's the same level of story ...or characters....or acting. It's based on a couple of books , so , the narrative isn't as strong , it's decent but just adjust your expectations if you're expecting another Band Of Brothers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band of Brothers is also based on a book. I read it many years ago, and is really interesting to compare to the show. Sobel (David Schwimmer) killed himself in the 50s,not mentioned in the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I've enjoyed the witcher tbf, I never played the game, however I read the books, and truthfully I don't think the books were all that. It's sad that Geralt had changed actors but I hope it continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
