The Madness, cracking Netflix series with that bloke from fear the walking dead. 9/10.

It's just an opinion.

 

What is watchable and relatively entertaining for me was Tulsa King, because it's a half an hour comedy drama where it is easier to have viewers suspend their disbelief, a competent writer heading ( presume) a team of good additional writers should be able to find it's way around it easily, since the concept is decent and you have Stallone who is an old school movie star with charisma, filling the screen in every scene. It is however fairly inferior to shows like Barry, Mr Inbetween, Killing Eve etc. it's inferior to something like Beef. It didn't exactly make me look for S2, there is enough better stuff around now.

 

However, when you do a more ambitious drama, than concepts that make little or no sense, story loopholes and probable historical inaccuracies (poor research), monologue or dialogue that makes you say wait what and than upon examination reveals to be some illogical conceit in the style of metaphysical poetry (Dunne etc), a catalogue of cover the top evil villains, constant misfortune on the verge of parody befalling characters, needless or not very well motivated morbid violence, cartoonish depictions of social relations watchable or even entertaining TV these days doesn't make.

 

The reviews of Landman put me off. Beth in Yellowstone is possibly the worst character going. She's an absolute cunt and we're meant to believe that she's cool, sexy and just knows how to put any man down. Only the gravitas of Costner kept the daftness of Yellowstone believable, with him gone it's awful. That cop pulling Beth over, finding out her fella was cowboy, thanking her for his job because "this is Texas" and letting her go was one of the cringiest things I've seen in years.

I agree re the Beth character but I think the scene you referred to was making a point (intentional or not) about that area being hugely dependent on one business,a company town so to speak.

Is anyone aware of a programme called Sister Wives? It follows a family of polygamists from Utah. She’s obsessed with it and on about season 14. I dip in and out if I’m in the room because I like getting wound up by the bloke. What an absolute tosser this bloke is. Each to their own and that but these are fucking weirdos. Even their own Mormon churches have fucked them off. 

 

Yes, no, maybe, no, no

Started watching After The Party tonight, a New Zealand thing with Peter Mullan & some sexual abuse stuff going on. Looks good but it's going to be a heavy one.

 

Probably watch another couple of episodes tomorrow night.

 

This was decent, 7/10

The one you’ve said yes to is a horrible horrible human. The one on the far right got catfished by some woman pretending to be some fella. She sent a picture of her with a banana in her mouth.

Just finished the second series of Time. I was multitasking, chopping onions while I was watching it..

 

Brilliant acting all round, especially from Bella Ramsey.

She got a raw deal out of Doctor Who, with some of the worst scripts and most wooden co-stars in 61 years.

24 Hours in Police Custody.

 

The one with the snapchats. Only at the start and its surprising how many people keep saying they dont know who it is and there are no suspects.

 

Its fucking obvious who it is.

I've pretty much always associated that with Dr Who. Even when I used to watch it with Pertwee and Baker in the leading role.

[Arniepie]

after the party

engrossing and the main lead was superb but a huge plot hole which made no sense and an ending which left me a bit perplexed

7/10

Finished Monsters, the Menendez story. 8/10.

 

I didn't like it at first because I expected something else, more like the OJ Simpson and Versace ones from the similar show, and I didn't watch the first season about Dahmer. Also, false flashbacks are still strictly a no-no for me.

 

However, they managed to mostly win me over when I finally understood what they were doing, and though it makes it a demanding watch, it manages to sort of work in the end. 

 

Plus, the Netflix documentary The Menendez Brothers last night which I thought was pretty outrageously framed, as I was not even aware there is currently an entire movement to rehabilitate the psychopathic duo. What a world we live in now. Charlie must be kicking himself in his grave now. Although, it would probably be the girls, not him.

Loving the new season of Yellowstone, really well written and it seems like they're determined to go out on a high.

 

For my money, it remains the most stunning looking show ever filmed.

 

S05E12 8/10

[Scott_M]

I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes of The Agency. Can’t understand why the reviews were only luke warm - Ok, it’s a bit slow (that personally doesn’t bother me), an all star cast and clearly building towards something. The shoot out at the end of episode 2 was great.

I was liking your review until you said 'shoot out at the end...'

Bloody hell,surely there are good writers around?

Watching Gomorrah at the minute on Now TV, just noticed that it only has 13 days left. Does this mean I have to watch the remaining episodes in this time?
