Opening episode of Finding Alice tonight I found very weak. Normally love any drama Keely Hawes is in
I'm just watching it. It seems like a load of crap.
I loved Finding Alice. Loved the black humour & the fact she lives in a "smart" house but can't work simple things like lights & curtains. Maybe its because I'm not into new fangled things like heating you can operate from your phone or seeing people at your door when you are miles away at work - so can see how someone like me would get worked up about it all. Also how she is grief stricken in her own way - not wailing but matter of factly getting on with stuff, but then not behaving "nicely" to hospital staff & undertakers.
Her "husband" (obviously not married so that will be a factor regarding money, house etc) is a wrong 'un and obviously deep in debt so has done some dodgy stuff regarding house ownership.
Night Stalker on Netflix. About Richard Ramirez, 4 part documentary. So well made.
Not sure I’d be able to watch that and sleep after
I binged in one night and definately had some right dodgy dreams. Not only that although i didn't mind it but i would warn anyone as its so disturbing and also could be triggers for some. Not sure i could recommend it personally.
Ted Lasso on Apple TV is a bit hit and miss after a few episodes. There’s definitely been worse shows based on football. Chris Powell cameo was good to see.
Talking of Keely Hawes, just started watching The Tunnel and straight-up hooked.
Have you watched The Bridge....the original Scandi show on which this is based? Fabulous.
The Tunnel was a blatant rip-off of The Bridge, although not bad if you had not seen The Bridge. Series 1 even had much the same characters and story-line, transposed to an England-France setting. Didn't bother after S1, it gave me the hump. The Bridge has been the "inspiration" for several other dramas based around borders and police on both sides of the border there's that Finnish series that I found just too relentlessly grim, and a More 4 called Nordic Murders set on the German/Polish coastal border. I watched it all but mainly because we've been there on holiday. The Germans are basically useless with TV drama, I've concluded. I've already given up on two German series on Netflix.
It wasn't a ripoff. It was a remake, under license.
Oh sure I know it was “legit”. I just thought it was a bit pathetic that they couldnt adjust the storyline enough to hold the interest of viewers like me who who had already watched The Bridge.

I guess they knew they were buying a show with a good storyline etc & that most viewers on Sky wouldn't have caught a subtitled foreign drama on what, BBC 4? So they left it as it was, effectively.

Yup. I’d seen The Bridge before The Tunnel.
I had to stop watching it as I knew exactly what was about to happen.
First two episodes released today with them out on a weekly basis a bit like the Mandalorian - Its good to have the MCU back, especially seeing how things will go now the first story is pretty much over.
Can only describe their first foray into a TV show style format (Plenty more are coming) as bizarre, kind of took that from the trailers anyway but where the story is going with this has yet to truly be revealed.
Quite an interesting approach though with each episode in the form of a sitcom through the decades so the first two were in the 50s and 60s, shot in Black and White and with a proper studio audience for the laughter etc.
I've only watched the first episode, I found It a painful experience. It's obviously a cliche of early the early sitcom. Surely they cannot keep this up for the whole series? Is it setting something up?

Knowing the MCU they're usually setting it up for something... Especially as this (and their other TV shows) will lead into the next round of films that are currently in production.
Hopefully the episode released tomorrow will tell a lot more but rumours are that Wanda is either making this all up herself and is controlling the town after having a breakdown or someone else unknown is controlling her
Scream (Netflix Series) I have started watching this the last couple of nights, needed something different, quite enjoying it so far. Its not amazing but decent enough. It has similarities to the original film, but its not based on it. I am about 5 episodes in, so recommend it if you need something easy to watch and dont mind a slight horror, is say slight its not scary just the odd jumpy moment. 6.5/10

the trailers have totally put me off of even trying to watch it. Is it a different style of tv programme in the next few episodes ?
Managed about 20 mins of WandaVision. Thought it was a pile of shite and my thoughts from the trailer/advert were accurate. I like MCU but have always thought this next stage wouldn't be for me anyway.

I'll watch the 2nd episode. I thought it was a murder/thriller. I didn't realise it was a comedy.

It seems that they're going through the decades in some fake type sitcom so could well stick to a similar theme for a few weeks as there are nine episodes in total - Might well be worth waiting till all have been released and then watching in a row.
As I'm a MASSIVE fan of the MCU but even at the moment, these first episodes arent really explaining anything from the previous films, nor can I see a way into the next group of them, I know it will come, just depends when so am happy to see each week what happens. For others though I can see where the frustration waiting for something to happen could come from
Series documenting the 2019 season for cycling team Movistar. Well worth a watch if you have any interest in cycling as it gives a good background into the preparation for the tours and the team dynamics. Beautifully shot and makes you appreciate how tough the sport is.

The next Spider-Man entry should be quite interesting given the cast that have signed up
I'm presuming that the events from WandaVision and the next Doctor Strange will be the lead up to that
But yeah there are a lot of films in this next phase that I'll watch but not overly eager for

It also shows you just how poor the overall team management and team spirit at Movistar is. Some of the incidents are laughable.

Just added this ... must take a look at the weekend.
Started watching Nightstalker on Netflix The body count this fella racked up was unreal.
Anyway near the body count of John Wick?
Wouldn't know about that, but he was as creepy as f**k.
Many serial killers manage to blend into the background undetected. This fella would have screamed 'serial killer' from the moment you laid eyes on him!
And he didn't try to hide it. How he managed to dodge the old bill for so long is unreal.
The epitome of what you would expect a serial killer to look and act like.

He is, also Devil like.. however if presented in a different story/ or film he was quite good looking too, was adored so had something about him but to the viewer as he is a serial killer and all the demon talk instantly makes you relate to that.
Had no idea what MCU was so just googled it. Bloody comics ! I stop reading them was I was about 8 or 9. Dont some people grow up.
What an odd person, loads of people are into comics/ Mavel/ DC
Evem though i have watched pretty much all the films and enjoy them even i had to google MCU, maybe sometimes its best to be quiet Golfie everyone is entitled to their opinion and doesn't harm anyone.
