What TV are you watching?

She persuaded me to try Jack Ryan on Prime next - not my usual sort of thing - kind of 'a similar sort of thing to Bodyguard, but in a different league.

Border town. A kind of dark, Finnish Monk (American TV detective) seeing thing other don't see visualising the scene with plenty of hand gestures . Based in a Finnish town on the Russian border. A detective moves from Helsinki to a backwater town as a relief from the stress of investigating murders.
Guess what.....
8/10

The last episode of series 4 of Gotham last night
All kinds of mentions of saviours, & Dark Knights...……



Even some of the music was reminiscent of the Christian Bale (as Bruce) films

 

[Levo-Lon]

The new BBC series last night with the couple who are expeiexperie marital problems.
Thought it was good ,forgot the name.
Apparently there was outrage from viewers over the orgasm scene?

The bedroom confessions were brilliant.
Typical man

Wanderlust!

I thought it was ok too.

Liking the irony of the therapist who sorts out other people's problems but not her own.

The orgasm scene was a bit peculiar although I can't see why it caused complaints - having looked at a few 'complaints' online I guess it's also ironic that the series which is tackling the stereotyped British repressed attitude to discussing sex has generated stereotypical British repressed attitude to sex responses.

Apparently the series is 'raunchy', 'steamy' and 'utter filth' - comments like that are beyond my comprehension in relation to this programme, however, each to their own. Apparently there was some 'filthy sex' on show which I presume was the scene with the female lead in stockings and scanty (horrible) nightie thing (gosh!) talking to her Hubbie like a school ma'am. It that's filthy sex then some people have led some very sheltered lives.

Toni Collette's a decent actress and I like Steven Mackintosh too so I'm optimistic that they'll both be able to flesh out their characters as the series unscrolls.

I look forward to being shocked, horrified and appalled next week when the second episode is aired.

Thanks ,i remembered after posting.
As you say hardly shocking filth,but thats the uk narrow minded brigade.

As my wife said ,there's a lot of women who have no idea what an orgasm is and never had one.

I told her i always fake mine !! unless i can think of someone obviously

I’m watching season two of Preacher. I enjoyed season one, but have to say I’m a little bored with season two. I’ll try and persist and see if season three is any better if I can get there!

 

[simonali]

Last Man On Earth. Phil/Tandy has to be the most annoying character ever. He makes David Brent a really likeable guy in comparison. He's such a tit!

 

[AndyRM]

Bodyguard has been on in Casa RM too. SophRM is loving it, as are a couple of her friends, but I am struggling to see the appeal. Great cast, badly let down by clunky writing and ideas borrowed from all over the place without anything particularly tying the thing together.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Im struggling with S6 homeland..

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Watched our recording of BBC's Press last night.

Not bad at all - Ben Chaplin in the lead role is a decent actor playing a newspaper Editor facing pressures from all sides - the need for more sales, the bank-rolling owner with nefarious political motives using his newspaper as a tool to further his own ends.

Was a busy first episode with multiple strands developing - looking forward to seeing where it goes.

 

[Chris S]

The New Avengers. When the story-line gets a bit weak you can always perv at Purdie.

Series five is going to be the last, sadly... but apparently they're starting Batgirl after that, or maybe Batwoman... it is 2018 after all!

We've just started watching Carnivale - a beautifully filmed supernatural series set in a travelling carnival (fairground as we'd call it) in the American depression. Three episodes in, and it's really good. Excellent cast, believable (given it's about the supernatural) story, and the typically good script that we've come to expect from HBO. Apparently it gets canned before the story ends, so I accept it'll be the journey rather than the ultimate destination. One of the leading characters is Michael J Anderson, the dwarf from Twin Peaks, who brings a sense of mystery and maybe potential menace too, thought he's a quite sympathetic character.

It is perhaps summed up by the opening speech, delivered by the above character, ".....There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty. And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and man forever traded away wonder for reason." which rather nicely sets up the conceit that magic / supernatural still existed relatively recently, but not no longer features today.

Recommended - with the caveat that I don't yet know if we'll be left high and dry after the two series then cancellation.

Prepare for bitter disappointment. It is so, so good. And where it could have gone would have been wonderful.
