bosstrabs Really liked his last film role in the Drop with Tom Hardy

Homegrove

That’s a good fucking movie.

bosstrabs

What? In The Loop or The Drop?

Enjoyed them both tbf, but In The Loop is one of my favourite movies ever.

Phil-McRackin

bosstrabs tremendous film.

Homegrove

The Drop.

Two episodes into Your Honor…and thinking this is the most promising start I’ve seen to a drama for some time. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) is superb as the judge whose son kills a motorcyclist and does a runner… intricate plot and intense….

alistair

Jules72 it’s brilliant. Keep going. Great characters, sub plots, twists and pacing. Cannot recommend highly enough. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout

Dubman

The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime on BBC2 last about a kidnapping gang in Manchester. very violent and nasty.

Smallman1

Any cop?

mrrossi

Yeah I watched that last night.Good stuff proper nutters who I think actually enjoyed giving it out.The blokes toe hanging off after a hammer had been taken to it was nuts.
Not the brightest bunch but hey it was Manchester .

alistair

Watched football’s darkest secret. Painful but essential viewing. Devastating how paedophile coaches were able to prey on the hopes and dreams of young aspiring footballers. Inflicting huge psychological scars on these poor guys

alistair Inflicting huge psychological scars on these poor guys

They just needed to wait until the sixth hour.

alistair

jonattonyeah that flew over my head?

I was recommended the cartoon series ‘Invincible’ on Amazon Prime- it has JK Simmons, Sandra Oh, Jon Hamm, Zachary Quinto etc. About a kid growing up who develops superpowers. Pretty Meh for the first 35 minutes, then suddenly a complete gore fest. Looks promising…

alistair

Just started watching Flight Attendant with the Mrs. Decent so far

alistair Read the book last year, and was hoping for good things from the TV series. Found the lead character massively irritating, and the flashback segments grated. Gave up midway through episode 2.

alistair

Saw Finding Jack Charlton. Brilliant summation of the man, player and manager. Charted his career, most important moments as player and manager, his relationship with Bobby and the cruelty of dementia. Well worth watching

Jules72

alistair I’m a bit puzzled about Jack Charlton… when this documentary was released there was a wave of positive sentiment about the bloke, but didn’t people think he was a really difficult character, as well as a manager that pushed a crap-to-watch style of football…

Dubman

I haven’t read the book but I have watched the whole series. It’s easily the most frustrating TV show I’ve seen in a long while.

alistair

vinnyt77 yep, the imaginary scenes with the dead bloke did my head in. She’s a good comic actress but her character was a complete neurotic. My wife and I stuck with it though 😂

alistair

Jules72 irrespective of style, it was very effective. He took Ireland to two world cups (including a QF) and a Euros. As everyone says in the doc, he won hearts and minds and brought pride back to Ireland in what was turbulent time. Amazing to think two brothers played and won the final of a world cup for England. Incredible achievement. Comes across as very authentic and honest. The dementia and family scenes are also poignantly covered.
