Narcos: Mexico

 

Just started season 2, and it's all a bit formulaic. Having every Mexican cop and general corrupt as fuck gives the writers the easiest get out of jail free card. Wow they've caught him, the incorruptible cop isn't going to... no he took a bribe. 

Just finished season 2, and it was far better than the first season. As with all these crime shows, the gangs fighting is the real draw. Loads of decent characters, and plenty of claret.

 

Still miss Pablo's jumpers though.

I acquired Tokyo Vice the other day. A Michael Mann / HBO show based on a true story of a US national who becomes a crime reporter in Tokyo.

 

I really enjoyed the first episode, unfortunately, subsequent episodes don’t have the subtitles so I need to acquire from elsewhere. 

Had no problem with kodi+fen+opensubtitles (set to auto download English subs if not embedded)

We own this city very solid 8/10 brilliant performance from actor playing Wayne. 

Only watched the first episode, and just coming here to say the same thing.

 

An actor I've not been impressed with previously, but that was great.

 

The story looks good as well.

I would assume he will be up for some sort acting award.

Ms Marvel. Awful 

I'm not going to watch it, but I do enjoy the thought of the anti-Woke warriors shitting themselve about a superhero who is a Pakistani Muslim who uses the title "Ms".

It was just hard to watch, the colourisation was like Wizard of Oz when it flicks into colour.

Just started watching the midwich cuckoo's, my weekly food shop has a bigger budget. Interesting if not familiar plot. Max Beesley can't act for shit, he was outperformed by a fucking traffic light. I look forward to a US remake which has a big budget and doesn't feel like someone is filming a school play. I'll persist with it because I aint watching much else.

Wild Wild Country - Fascinating Netflix documentary about the followers of Bikram Choudhury an Indian Guru whose followers set up a city in Oregon in the 80's. Really good 8/10

 

Just watching Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey - Another Netfix about an offshoot of the Mormon church, absolutely shocking. 1 Episode to go - 8/10 so far

Atlanta series 3. 

So far not as good as the first two series and the first episode was quite bizarre, even though it was most likely allegorical. It has improved by around halfway though.

I started watching the second series and ended up not finishing it. 

 

It has that weird feeling of being quite clever and well done but then being oddly unentertaining.

 

Feels like something I should like but just doesn't seem to work

I can see that. This series is very focused on the racial element,but done in a very discreet and intelligent(?)way. It is largely unentertaining though,but things tend to hit you after you've finished watching it though.

The thing is that you could argue that its just been 'Atlanta on Tour' as its been filmed across Europe mostly and not much of it is in the US.

I'm halfway through We Own This City and it's brilliant. It's had some mixed reviews, fuck knows why.

I've just started Under the Banner of Heaven. Based on a true story about a murder in Utah which was linked to the latter day saints. Pretty good start - episode 1 8/10.

It was bizarre,the whole season was in fact. It was like a stand alone series.

It certainly lost.some of its humour, but I'm not sure that was deliberate it was just a little more silly, but I didn't think that worked as well as the earlier seasons. I thought the last episode was cracking though. 

[redheart]

Girls5Eva series 2. Not as good as series 1 but still great fun.

 

Derry Girls series 1. A surprisingly funny and heartwarming watch. The last scene of the final episode of series 1 was strangely moving

It lost all it's humour for me. I couldnt really follow it because I was expecting some funny excerpts but they didn't happen. Then what did happen I thought was completely stupid,from the character's point of view. I expected it to be labelled 'a dream sequence.'

Yeah, I get what you mean. They've only for a season to go, so hopefully the last will be back on form and it was written as a 2 season arc. I do think a lot of shows lose it when they do that, they seem to break their formula and the show tails away. 

 

I've just picked up watching Atlanta again after a few people on here raving about season 3. I stopped watching at the start of season 2, but couldn't remember why. I put it on last night and it came back to me right away. Unless Danny Glover is speaking, I can barely understand a word that is being said. Maybe as I'm getting older, my hearing isn't as good, but I just miss large parts because I only snatch words.

Homelander has always been a great character, he’s gone up a few levels in this season of The Boys.

I thought it was fantastic.

 

It's not "The Wire" but that's not what they were aiming for anyway with only six hours to tell the story.

 

It was more like a documentary, for me, with the interviews taking the place of narration, interspersed with the "actual footage" of the events they were talking about.

 

I'll watch as much of that as they want to make.

It's like a real life version of The Shield. Strange to think these were doing this shit around the time The Shield was airing!
