Dubmick I really enjoyed this one too, great show.

Dubman

Starting next month. So glad they turned it into a series and not a film as the book is to epic.

Dubman I hope they don’t edit out Afghanistan, really enjoyed that section of the book.

Smallman1

Enjoyed the book I must say.

Cheers!

Dubmick

SM001 yep one of the most enjoyable shows of the year imo

As I recall it was only a small section of the book. But you think being a series of they’d keep it in. Will be interesting how they filmed the scenes in Leopold’s cafe in Mumbai as the last time I was there it still loads of bullet holes in the walls from the Mumbai terrorist attack.

Latest House of the Dragon episode is stellar, up there with some of the better GOT episodes. Great character development, which I wasn’t expecting with a 10 year jump.

Dubman From what I remember, the book is split into three parts, his entry into bombay, the afghanistan section and then his return to bombay. Afghanistan was a significant chunk, and probably the best writing in it.

Just goes to show how my memory has gone. Mind you I did read it probably 15 years ago whilst traveling in India. I did try the follow up book The mountain shadow. But gave it away as the print was to small to read.

On the one hand it’s HBO, and they make the best telly. On the other it’s a game adaptation. But also a great cast….could go either way

Speaking of HBO….Hanners and I were chatting the other day in the movie thread about how everyone apart from me loves The Big Short and how maybe that’s maybe because it kind of suggests greedy bankers might be, you know, kinda bad.

But now I think it’s because it’s inauthentic and boring, and if you want to see something that’s authentic and not boring you should watch HBO’s Industry, season 2 of which is on IPlayer now in UHD and starts off with this absolute banger:

C_J or you could just be less dead inside CJ. Agree about Industry though. Mint.

SM001

C_J Industry is great. Nathan Micay’s soundtrack is boss too.

alistair

C_J not as heralded as the Big Short, but I am a fan of Margin Call which came out around the same time

Dan

Going to give The Old Man a whirl later. That’s not a euphemism before you ask. 👴🏻

alistair

Dan said the actress to the bishop

C_J

alistair yeah I like that one too mate

nicksneddon

Industry is an HBO prog? thought it was BBC, i just started it regardless

C_J

nicksneddon hbo mate.

Dubmick

Jules72 gets better too.

nicksneddon Co production between BBC & HBO I think.

Starting season 4 of the expanse, it’s exceptionally good. I’m not a huge sci-fi geek, but it’s as good as the genre gets for me.

On the other hand, Yellowstone is total garbage. I’m at a loss to explain the imdb ratings.

SM001

303abuser Good shout. The best sci-fi series since Battlestar Galactica (The 00’s one 😅)

C_J

303abuser I’m not a huge sci-fi geek, but
