Oh you wouldn't stop with her would you? Unreal bit of kit. She plays Lil' Kim in Notorious.

Irvine Welsh Crime on ITVX.

 

Been looking forward to seeing this but couldn’t be arsed paying for britbox to watch it.

 

Thank god I didn’t cos it was a massive let down.

 

Dougrays good as the “hard drinking, coke snorting, good cop with issues” and his assistants lovely but that’s as far as it goes.

 

Scripts full of Irvine’s rampant playing to the audience monologues that were new in the 90’s and the contrived plot with the girl from Corrie taking down her boss was embarrassing and you could see exactly what he was aiming to do here. Girl power boxes well and truly ticked.

 

The main story about a child abductor from Dougs past tends to get forgotten about quite a bit until they realise they’re going to need to end this soon and just like ITV request from all their dramas, they really make the ending as awful as they can. 

5/10 watch if you’ve got nothing better to do when the nights draw in.

Lincoln Lawyer - Series 2 (both parts) - 7.5/10.

 

The televisual equivalent of going to watch some popcorn at the cinema. Enjoyable enough but not remotely serious. An extended John Grisham-like televisual novel.

 

I'd knock it down to a 6 at best. It's OK, and the courtroom scenes are enjoyable enough- especially the ultra-sarcy judges- but it's just not that funny and the stories don't really work that well. Both this series and the first one have had conclusions completely out of left field with barely any indication of anything untoward- this series was actually better in that regard and it still hinged on something which no one could possibly have foreseen. I know that's the same problem with most crime shows, but it's compounded by the Netflix curse of a load of filler as well. Still, the last few episodes were well done, and hopefully it doesn't have to rely on Legal and Izzy as story telling conceits if there's going to be another episode.

 

I need to give these books a read, Bosch was fun but fairly grounded and so was the film, but these almost seem like a cartoon version.

The Bear season 2 episode 6 is incredible.

Watched this episode earlier. Brilliant. Jamie Lee Curtis was unreal. Loving this show.

Is this a British version?

If you haven't seen it yet it's showing again on Channel 4 at 00:10.

I watched the 1st episode last night mate, it was like they'd dumped the cast of TOWIE in there, just clueless, every single one of them.

 

I won't be watching any more.

Haha, fair enough.

Some of them are pretty annoying I must admit.

I really enjoy Alone and I've watched all the US / Canadian and Aussie ones and they all have seasoned and serious (if often useless) survivalists in there.

 

This UK one is filled with Botox filled perma-tanned celeb wannabes who wouldn't know a grizzly bear from a weasel.

Was looking forward to seeing a big more of the manc ex junkie, until he nearly chopped himself in half.

Could have been a great show if they'd have chosen the right type of candidates but alas, they've fucked it up for the very reason you said.

On episode 4 of The Bear. Really liking it so far. "No Ingles" cracked me up but it's quite darker than I expected. 

 

[No2]

Finished Atlanta, took me about a year.

7.5 /10.

 

I reckon when I watch it again it will be 9/10. I treated it as an casual easy watch but it's way beyond that, some of the episodes are incredible.

I loved it, Tommy is one of the greatest characters of all time. Worst acting ever but an absolute head case. 

The sequel,PowerBook V is it? Is decent enough with Tommy in it. The one with the son is dogshit.

Yeah the Tommy spin off is ace, the others are shit. He should have his own series.

I couldn't get through the last series. I thought it was very poor after a few episodes.

Good Omens 2 - 8/10. Not as good as the first season but still better than most stuff on TV.  Makes me want to visit Edinburgh again.

Only Murders in the Building season 3 - 9.50/10.  Pretty much TV perfection.

Disney+ has apparently lost over 11 million subscribers over the last quarter. Not really surprising as there's very little on there compared to other services, and what there is looks really stale (or utter dogshit like She Hulk). Most of the drop seems to be due to losing IPL right, and I'm sure the upcoming price rise will sort that out...

Shadow of Truth. 
 

It’s on iPlayer. True crime documentary about a young Israeli girl who is brutally murdered in the toilet cubicles at the school she attends. They arrest a bloke and charge him with the murder, although all the signs appear to show that it was very unlikely to be him. 
 

Then there’s twists. And turns. And, as I’m only 3 episodes out of 5 in to it, I imagine that there might be a few more twists and turns. 
 

Very good. 
 

8 out of 10. The accused’s original attorney is a very watchable, flamboyant character.

There's only 2 episodes out?

One of the best series ever and this scene is perfect.

Just watched the first episode of 'How to with John Wilson'. Bit of a Louis Theroux/Sacha Baron Cohen mash up of talking to different people in different situations, whilst he's in character. Really enjoyed the first one, funny in places but also quite heartwarming, especially the lad at the end of episode, who appeared to be a nice lad trying too hard to fit in with the spring break crowd.
