Moderator Tommy Posted December 24, 2023 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2023 5 episodes into Bodies and I still think it's brilliant so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I was told at my Christmas party that I was living under a rock because I had never watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. And they were right. Some episodes have been brilliant. I've binged five seasons now. I do think the earlier series were better as Larry David has gone from being a really unlucky guy where everything's blown out of proportion to being a major idiot himself but I've been told it gets better.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted January 3 Subscriber Share Posted January 3 Just on the last episode of 'Fool Me Once' on Netflix. Heard mixed reviews before I watched it for myself from people saying it's just the same recycled British actors you see in other dramas and a few actors used in other Harlan Coben adaptions but I don't mind that. I've really enjoyed it and can't wait to watch this last episode and see how it wraps up. Michelle Keegan's in it too so that's a plus!

Moderator Tommy Posted January 19 Moderator Share Posted January 19 Just finished "All the Light we cannot see" and it was very good. But I feel like 4 episodes were not enough. Now I have not read the novel, but I know of it's magnitude and how big it was, and it felt like the series probably just scratched the surface. However I must say the atmosphere and the acting were top-notch! Especially Louis Hofmann who played Werner, and Maria Maria Loberto, who played Marie! Apparently it was the only thing we ever acted in so far, so that's even more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaldiniKing Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Well, unfortunately Reacher is another example of the fact that a good series ends with 1 season, and waiting for the second, only raises hopes, I watched it by force (where is that Reacher from season 1, where the brawls, actions...). I was also completely disappointed with Echo, I often return to classics like CreepShow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a Lee Child/Jack Reacher fanatic and have read all his books and have everyone of them, so what you said that a good series ends with 1 season I will partly agree with you with the fact that the first 2 Reacher film's the character Reacher was played by Tom Cruise. As we know and it was mentioned by many critics that Tom Cruise was 5ft 6inc and a skinny little runt where the character Reacher was around 6ft 6inc and a 50 inch barrel chest and hands like spades, so they got it right in the new series with Alan Ritchson as Reacher and I quite enjoyed the 3 series by Ritchson as Reacher. Ritchson is around 6ft 4inch and has the looks of Reacher when you read the books. But as per normal the book is better than the film as is all films taken off a book, the first John Wick film with Keanu Reeves was brilliant but I watched the second one and never bothered with 3 of 4 as it was all the same, to much kung-fu fighting all the way through, Rambo, First Blood was another good example, First Blood was good but the others shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaldiniKing Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I fully agree with you, I have not yet encountered a situation that a film adaptation would be better than any book. In addition to the aforementioned series, I would also add as someone who likes such climates Beast of Bangalore, as a fan of Godzilla (since a little kid I am grateful that the Japanese made their own film this year, however, completely failed to excite me Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and I was hoping for something interesting.

MUFC Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just finished The Godfather Of Harlem which is based on mobster Bumpy Johnson. A black mob boss who took on the Italian mobsters back in the 1960s. This series has it all including civil right struggles as it's also tells the story of Malcolm X, somebody who Bumpy was friends with and used to protect. Highly recommended - 9.2/10.

MUFC Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 On 13/06/2021 at 21:10, MUFC said: Have a question for you all. What are your top 5 all time series? I know it's hard to narrow it down, and it comes down to personal choice. Mine are as follows, 1.Banshee 2.The Walking Dead 3.NArcos (Colombia) 4.The Punisher 5.Bates Motel Missing out, The Shield, Hannibal, Money Heist, True Detective, Ozark, 7 Seconds and Power. Since this question was asked in 2021, has your list changed? Mine has as the list shows. I've Taken Narcos Colombia out and and Narcos Mexico is in. I felt as Mexico progressed it was over a better series to watch. Out is Bates Motel and in comes Ozark which just got better and better. 1.Banshee 2.The Walking Dead 3.The Punisher 4.Narcos Mexico 5.Ozark Missing out - The Shield, Money Heist, Bates Motel, 7 Seconds, Power and The Godfather Of Harlem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 World War 2: The Call of Duty "A timeline on WW2" It is a very thorough docuseries, well narrated, a blend of black and white footage and rare colour footage. I am up to Chapter 10 which ended at 7 December 1941. One of the best in depth coverages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
