It's called love mate, embrace it.

Binge watched that new time travel thing with Stephen Graham on Netflix. 
 

Love a bit of time travel, me. Bit of a mindfuck. 7.5/10.

Coleen Rooney is ace, I really like her. She puts up with Wayne Rooney which is odd….

It’s not remotely odd. She gets a shitload of money, free shit, and access to opportunities she never would have otherwise.

 

Can’t recall who, but one of the posters on here knew the family, and she was into Wayne’s cousin and never gave Wayne a second look until he broke into the Everton firs team. Reminds me of the Mrs Merton interview with Debbie McGee - “What was it that first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”

 

File under goal digger.

Beckham - Netflix

 

God I hate Man Utd but I've always had a soft spot for Beckham. Mainly because I fancy the shit out of Posh Spice and always have so really I should hate the cunt. 

 

Goes quite deep as well including his affair with Rebecca Loos. I didn't realise all the shit he had with LA Galaxy when he wanted to stay at AC Milan but they told him no chance. 

 

An absolutely brilliant player which is often over-shadowed by his celebrity status. Glen Hoddle treated him like a proper cunt as well. 

 

I like him, not gonna lie. Enjoyed it. Seems like a really good dad and all. Oh and Posh Spice has aged like the finest of wines (so far) absolutely stunning woman and believe it or not, quite funny at times in this. 

 

No point in rating it really but if you aren't like a vampire is to sunlight when it comes to Manc's, it's worth a watch. 

 

You're spot on, it was actually really good, this. My missus wanted to watch it for the 'sleb/ WAG side of things, but enjoyed all the football stuff too. I did have to tell my Mum off after she cheered at the end of 'that balmy night in Barcelona' though, poor behaviour that.

 

It's good to be reminded of what an utter cunt Glen Hoddle is, willing to throw a young player to the wolves to keep his job, snide bastard. It was a bit spooky seeing all those clips of Charlton and then having his death announced the next day.

 

He really did play for some absolute cunt clubs though- Man Utd, Real Madrid and PSG.

Watched the first episode of the reckoning thought it was very good, Coogan was fantastic.

Will give it a go later so. Thought the Haunting of Hill House was amazing but it’s been diminishing returns since then with the series since.

 

Steve Coogan is great in that Jimmy Saville thing, but it’s bleak and depressing. Still haven’t watched the last one.

Don’t go into the Fall Of The House Of Usher thinking it’ll be Hill House or Bly Manner. It’s completely different in tone and what it’s trying to achieve. It’s not really a horror series.

Agreed. It's not a horror, more dark drama. Carla Gugino is excellent in it as is the Irish girl.

Probably funnier than everything else he's made apart from Partridge.

Bodies on Netflix. 

 

Bloody brilliant. 5/5

I've just finished the fifth episode and really enjoying it. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Just started Bosch Legacy Series 2.

Will report back but a bit average at the moment as I think this storyline is a bit of a cliche.

I've watched that show in the hope it wasn't just a bit ordinary. I liked the concept, but it never took off for me. But somehow did just enough to stop me turning off. I didn't find it awful, I just thought it could be much more.

I got a couple in and got bored. It just wasn't interesting enough despite a good concept. A bit like Man in the High Castle or The Plot Against America,but without much happening in all honesty.

Yeah, man in the high castle is a good example, but that definitely had better execution of the concept for me.

The Fall of the House Usher - 9/10

 

Outstanding. 8 episodes of fantastic television, I loved every minute of it.

I tried to be open minded watching it but the bullshit overwhelmed me. In that world cup he was 23, that's young in normal terms, in the football world, its not, he'd been playing for Man Utd for 7 years. 

 

I'm on to Coleen Rooney now, a Man Utd month in my gaf. First episode was watchable, struggling to see how they can stretch another 2 episodes out of it.

A Guardian review did say it was ridiculously overlong, bit of a habit with Netflix docs.

She’s absolutely tremendous. Feel a female who has gone under the radar for years.
