Watched the first episode of Boat Story on iPlayer last night and absolutely loved it. It's a crime/dark comedy hybrid, reminds me of Guy Ritchie's early stuff but with its own unique, quirky vibe. Stellar cast as well, including the main man himself. Craig Fairbrass.

Doctor Who 4/10

 

To be honest i havent watched any of these for a while, but given David Tennant was back i thought id give it a go. Pretty dreadful to be honest. The story was dreadful, the acting from some of them was even worse and i did groan quite a bit at the binary/non binary bit, whatever that was meant to mean.

 

I will stick to the old episodes i think. I have been burnt recently by this, Frasier and Quantum Leap.

3 episodes into this now and it's ace.  Such a refreshing change from the norm.

Shetland

 

It's a beautiful looking show but the acting is uniformly atrocious and the lead actress, Tosh, is a absolute dog.

 

5.5/10

Its a shame the lead actress looks have anything to do with the quality of the show. Unless with it being Shetland it is an actual four legged canine?

Hard to tell.

[sir roger]

 Bit hard to assess the new Shetland as it is the first with Ashley Jensen crowbarred in after Douglas Henshall basically carried it for 7 series. Seems a little too much going on in the new series but hopefully it will settle down going forward.

The Tosh character, at least  in the first couple, seemed shoe-horned in for comedic affect. Very jarring to me.

 

Binned it--I didn't really care about whodunnit, or any of the characters.

Did you watch Hinterland? Welsh detective drama jobby - not too bad about 3 series I think 

[Arniepie]

The couple next door

Absolute fucking ludicrous 

I actually laughed out loud at a few points

Trashy brilliance

 

7/10

Do you not like Fraser? I've really enjoyed it. I thought it took a bit of time to warm up, but it's got better by the episode and this week's the best so far.

Really?? Might give it another go. I got to 4 or 5 episodes and thought it was pretty poor to be honest. Niles' son may be one of the most pointless characters ever. Up there with Kirby in the original Fraiser.

Frasier without Niles is like a Roast Dinner without gravy. Like Kelly Brook without tits. Like Jaws without the shark.

He's undoubtedly the worst character, David probably has his best episode in this latest one, but he's still just a waste of time. Both Freddy and Alan improve as it goes though and I like both the female characters, although they've not developed those characters very much yet. And the episode when they brought Lilith back I thought was really well done. 

 

I think its biggest problem is its as short per episode as the original, 22 mins or whatever, but with the season only being 10 episode long, it doesn't create much chance to be invested in so many new characters. I think that format of show works much better when you've got 20-odd episode to bring all the characters through and if you were only going to do 10, maybe the episodes need 10 mins more. 

 

I'd probably say the first half of the season was about a 6.5/10, but the 2nd half 7.5-8/10

I agree - it's very stylised, but not annoyingly so, and there are a lot of smart and funny moments (the last supper reference made me laugh out loud).  Binge watched it on holiday last week, it was great - 8/10.

 

[skend04]

Lazarus Project S2 - just as good as S1 and I'm hoping Sky pick it up for another season.

[Anubis]

The Artful Dodger - S1.  7.5/10. Perry entertaining 8 episodes set in an Australian penal colony and based on the characters from Oliver Twist. David Thewlis nails it as Fagan. 

[Poor Scouser T]

F is for Family. 2nd watch. Incredible voice cast and laugh out load brilliant. 8.5/10

Good find. Will watch that.

Started that Boat Story the other night. Thought the 1st episode was nuts but kept me wanting to watch the second which we turned off half way through. What the fuck is it meant to be? Tarantino meets The Fast Show? 

 

Gonna start Kin after the unmentionable.

Just a quick mention for a new Netflix series - Obliterated. Only watched one episode and so there is no full review, but just wanted to warn people that this is fucking shit. It seems to be aiming for a True Lies vibe but every single main character is thoroughly unlikable and you just want them all killed in the first episode. I won’t be watching any more.

Monarch

 

4 episodes in and it's on its last legs afaiac. The problem is the 2 lead female characters, they're both massive massive cunts.

 

Misandry, ageism, Mary Sue woke shitcuntism, it's all here. Godzilla is incidental.

 

3/10
