Your first thought after watching that is "some nice eye candy" ? What da fook. 

 

Actually what's even more bizarre was thinking "Mmmh, what can I do for a bit of eye candy.....oh I know, I'll turn on Lazarus Project"

 

Apart from Charly Clive the rest are average.

 

 

 

 

 

Anjli Mohindra is gorgeous. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Watched the first episode of Baby Reindeer and it shall be my last. Every close up of the lead woman's mug and even the sound of her voice knocks me sick.

 

What a flaming munter hag.

[John102]

Never stepped foot in Australia, but i don't reckon its as good as it used to be.

 

7/10

Solid 6/10 but nothing wrong with a guy that’s easily impressed.

I don't know who that actor/character is and last saw an episode of Dr Who when Tom Baker was the main character.

I haven't watched it in years myself, but i recall the gammons being just as upset over them casting a black gay actor in the role as they were when they cast a woman.  

 

It would have been epic if they had cast Tom Baker in Masters of the Air though.

Well they did call their aeroplanes 'ships'

Fucking hell, Binomial is Brad Pitt.

 

He must be if he thinks Anjli Mohindra is only 6/10.

Pffff Brad Pitt wishes he could be Binomial.

 

That #1 spot on the FHM’s has been reserved for me for the last 30 years, rest of them are fighting for second best. They just haven’t been told yet.

 

Only 2 women makes Binomial’s 10/10 lost and that’s Jordana Brewster and Serinda Swan.

Don't know Serinda Swan, you'll get no arguments from me about Jordana Brewster, she's immense.

No way you've never watched Smallville? Or seen the 2nd series of Reacher?

Mate, I point blank refuse to pay for Netflix, Prime, Sky etc etc.

 

And I can't be arsed with dodgy TV boxes.

 

If its the old Smallville that channel 4 showed years ago, I don't remember her (remember Kristin Kreuk though). Haven't seen Reacher.

Shogun- 9.5/10. Stunning.

 

Remember when Game of Thrones was good? The political intrigue, the different factions, the wheels within wheels, the well drawn characters acting like fucking human beings? That's this, its granddaddy. Very faithful to the book- although I haven't read it in 20 or more years, so could be missing bits. Sumptuous visuals- this is absolutely gorgeous looking, even the occasionally blurry depth of field was fine, given the great acting in the foreground. Intelligent, thought provoking plot, it's all there. It's fantastic, the last 3 episodes are just incredible as you discover the depths that people are willing to go to out of loyalty and the culture that honours them. Even better, Blackthorn's growing realisation of just what it is going on as the viewer is pulled in too.

 

Compare and contrast this to the ridiculous 3 Body Problem series on Netflix. Another excellent novel, this time set in China for the most part. The main Chinese protagonist is bizarrely divided up into five complete shitbags who studied at Cambridge and seem to live in London, and who spend the entire series (or at least the 6-7 episodes I could stand) arguing amongst themselves, stropping out about the slightest thing, mooning about unrequited love and generally behaving like spoilt children. It looks shit and empty due to the heavy CGI and the heavily amended plot is fucking ridiculous.

 

No idea how Disney of all streaming sites managed to pull this off, but I'm really glad they did. Superb stuff.

A man in full.

 

New Netflix drama about a high power business man (Jeff Daniels)who owes a bank over a billion dollars and the debt gets called in and he's struggles against potential bankruptcy.

 

Couple episodes in and its decent so far, good cast with Diane Lane, Lucy Lui and Tom Pelphrey who was really good in Ozark.

 

Promising 7/10.

[Binomial]

The Crowded Room 

 

Once you get past the first half which does a solid enough job building the mystery is when you really start to learn what this is all about. Last few episodes when the trial is about to start is when all the intriguing revelations shine through and it will definitely hit home. Tom Holland has that star appeal.

 

Overall a 7/10

[Elite]

Nearing the end of S1 of The OA. Love this, I know it divided opinion when it came out but I'm definitely in the pro camp.

Love Diane Lane and Lucy Liu. I think that Pelphrey gimp is the one who knocked up Kaley Cuoco.

You cannot be serious?!

 

Wait until the final episode and the reveal, try not to boot your telly through the window.

I was going to watch that, but got put off because it was cancelled by Netfucks before it was properly resolved. Might give it a whirl some time anyway.

Started watching Tokyo Vice. Seems a slow burner but I've heard good things.
