If it's as bad as haunting of hill house, no.

Milk and sugar for me.

Watching Ray Donovan. Not sure if I am meant to like this, but I do.

 

Have recently watched Rebellion, Godless, and Damnation. All solid 7/10s. May have posted about them previously. Dunno. I have drunk quite a lot of really nice red wine.

After rationing the last few episodes, I finished Haunting Of Hill House during the week.

 

Fantastic television to fuse a horror story with a family drama so seamlessly. The retelling of the same events through different perspectives worked brilliantly too, as did the awful reveal of things like who the bent-neck lady actually was. 

 

The few hidden ghosts I saw (of the many placed across the episodes in the background of scenes) scared the bejesus out of me.

 

Unique 10/10

I think it’s the best show I’ve watched this year. Brilliantly written and acted. I think I’ll wait for a while and watch it again.

The second season of The Sinner is now on Netflix. I like the first one with Jess Biel in it, this one follows a completely different story however Bill Pullman who played a cop in the first season returns to his home town to help a friend with a murder case. First episode is intriguing enough, about to watch the second now..

The first season kept my attention. Will check this out.

 

Watched the first episode of Sharp Objects. It has a bit of 'The Sinner' Vibe.

Ray Donovan is a show every year I say I won't watch again and always do, but so far in the latest season, I've enjoyed it.

Just finished the last season after leaving it for a while. It was entertaining enough.

On season 3 of Strike Back, never really fancied it before but it’s pretty ace. First season is just a Sky production but they co-produced it with Cinemax from season 2 and it gets a lot better. Not far off Banshee levels of violence and sex. 8/10. 

 

Speaking of Cinemax and Banshee, how good does this sound?

Narcos Mexico out this Friday on Netflix,I believe.

Just finished the first (self-contained) series of The Sinner. The first 7 episodes were really good, peeling back why a seemingly normal mother could just flip and stab to death a random stranger- 8/10 for those. But the last episode... everything got tied up I suppose but a big part of the plot was complete bollocks- 3/10 for that. 6/10 for the series as a whole, the last episode let it down that much.

 

Has anyone watched the second series and can recommend it?

On it now, it's okay, about the 6/10 after 4 episodes

[Dougie Do'ins]

Just got to to the end of Homecoming and it was well worth watching. The half hour episodes made it easier to binge watch. There were times when I had to remind myself that it was set in the present. It had me thinking back to at least three 70s American cop shows and one film. Were they deliberately playing mind games ?

 

Very strange to watch but compelling.

OK cheers. Might leave it to one side then, but thanks.

Struggling to get through this at the moment. Finding it really padded and pretty obvious what's going to happen.

I’d like to hear more opinions on this one. It’s been something I’ve been considering.

I've finished the second series & it probably was a mark down from the first one but still worth a watch.

 

I like Bill Pullman (mainly for Spaceballs & his Oscar worthy turn in Independence Day) but he really isn't cut out for such a serious role, he lets it down a bit for me.

[Mudface]

Yeah, he was a bit bizarre in the first one. Do we find out any more about his own backstory in the 2nd series? They sort of hinted at abuse being responsible for his masochism in the first but didn't elaborate.

Aye, there's a bit more about him revealed in the second series.

 

As manwiththestick said, it's probably about a 6/10. The first two episodes were really good then it kind of sagged in the middle a bit before picking up again near the end.

 

The little boy in it looks like a 28 year old Italian American man, which I found quite amusing.

The kid looks much older than the age he plays.

The second series of The Deuce was superb. Ending was brilliant, leaving you dying to know what happens next, without an obvious 'cliffhanger' so to speak.

 

8/10

Yeah mate it was very good wasn't it. I know what you mean about when it was set, even the computers seem at least from the 80's.

I'm at the start of the third series now. Episode seven of series two, Conor's birthday, was fucking brilliant.

[VladimirIlyich]

Over halfway through Deutschland 86 and its pretty good,not fantastic but still decent. There is a redhead German actress in it who supremely hot too.

[Captain Turdseye]

Finally got round to watching series 1 of Stranger Things this week. Enjoyed it. 7/10. 

 

She wants to crack straight on with series 2 but it’s wasting valuable time that could be spent playing Red Dead.
