scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Money Heist . Canna find a thread. Its teckle It's brilliant. And plain stupid. But brilliant nonetheless. The characters are mostly the kind of c***s you'd hate but somehow it's difficult to. The narrative definitely gets you on the side of the baddies.Who's your favourite characters? - I think I'm in love with Nairobi, not that she's a grade a stunner or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Finished After Life. Probably the saddest thing I've watched. Plenty of tears. Very moving in places and some good laughs. Very recognisable cast, the majority of whom were in Life On The Road, but don't hold that against them. Gervais is excellent here. Also, there's a phenomenal dog.Absolutely brilliant viewing. It's true that I wasn't always a fan of Gervais, or at least his work, but gave After Life a shot and thought it was amazing.Then decided to watch Derek again. Very much enjoyed it, think maybe first time around I thought Gervais was just taking the piss out of the downtrodden and the mentally challenged. Not so sure it is the case with Derek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However probably Berlin or Moscow Edited August 12, 2020 by G_Man1985 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure it is the case with Derek.He definitely isn't taking the piss. Again, a lot of folk don't get Gervais so just assume he's a horrible wee man. Derek got a fair amount of stick but it highlighted a lot of very real issues about our poor care system with a few laughs added in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin is beautifully played. An absolute fucking bampot but very funny none the less.And yes, Nairobi is absolutely Grade A. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute fucking bampot but very funny none the less.And yes, Nairobi is absolutely Grade A. Berlin is amazing. He's obviously an utter c**t but he's played so well. Apparently if they'd known there was a series beyond the mint..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time around I thought it was a pile of shit. However many years ago that it came out.Watching it again I realised that it's a very clever show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not finished it yet but a good way in to The Last Dance. First thing that struck me was "this is The Defiant Ones" but with basketball rather than Hip Hop and sure enough, a quick google revealed that's exactly what inspired the director. Like The Last Dance, you don't need any interest in the subject matter to be drawn in. Worth checking if you liked The Last Dance anyway. Absolutely loved the Detroit Piston's no-nonsense approach to dealing with Jordan. Really cracking series. Love the terrible suits, some of the cars. Rodman was some boy too. Had worried the whole thing could be a bit dry and a bit worthy but not at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Started it. Enjoyed what I've watched so far. Not had many proper laugh out loud moments for a sitcom, but tells a decent story for one and the characters on the whole are a decent bunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Anyone watch schitts creek?I really enjoyed it. Started off feeling like a time passer but whickly got into it. Really get to like the characters and it does feel like a well told story. Bit of a feelgood thing. David and Patrick's is one of the most heartwarming sitcom relationships of all time aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
