Echoing the above.  I'm halfway through episode 3.  The show is brutal and fantastically done.

^^^Agreed^^^

Watching Episodes 3+4 tonight.

Watched GOT finale. Me:

I’m going largely against the grain with that. I enjoyed it. Yes the middle section where that fix everything is rushed and dumb but the first section leading to THE DEATH was brilliant, and seeing as I’m a big old softie, I found the very end quite moving. I don’t really understand a lot of the criticism of how it got wrapped up. What were people expecting?

It was maybe a tad predictable but I enjoyed it too. Not as much as S07 but hey…

It was an ending like a pudding at a nursing home: inoffensive and a bit bland as to sooth as many as possible...

For those watching Chernobyl I highly recommend the podcast.  It makes me want to re-watch the episodes as the podcast gives additional information into the disaster and the personal stories portrayed.  Long story short, based on the research the creators of the show did the drama of the HBO series is actually under-emphasized compared to what actually happened.

And for readers - the book 'Voices from Chernobyl' has a number of first hand accounts of the happening.

Thanks for those tips. I’ll endeavour to get to grips with both.

Re-watching SPACED… I actually bought the DVD set for this (2nd hand) well over 10 years ago... And I'm glad I did... So much fun... And so many familiar faces!..

Finally found a good rip with proper Eng subs. Season 4 is a GO!..

FFS thought this show had ended after the last series, thanks for the heads up.

35' into the first ep and I'm already out of nails to bite on… Holy cow this show is good...

Chernobyl is all @Chesson has been talking about in the office. It's def on my list.

I am absolutely hooked on The Act at the moment, had to force myself to turn it off after 5 episodes last night.

I remember reading about it on forums when it all happened, totally bizarre and messed up.

I have had the first ep of THE ACT in my virtual queue for quite a while now… Decided to d/l the whole season... Not sure what to expect but looks good...

But first the finale of GOMORRA... And then WHEN THEY SEE US...

[Graham]

@Seul The Act is great from the start but it gets really really good @ ep 3.

When They See Us is next for me too. I recently went down the rabbit hole for the 3rd time re-watching anything and everything to do with the West Memphis 3.

^ I fancy that.

Watching “In The Name Of The Rose”. Fantastic. Rupert Everett as Bernado Gui is a revelation.

Did that a couple of months back…

As you all know, I'm a huge fan of the holidays… Christmas, new year's eve,... But not because of the festive mood, oh no, but because it's that time of the year that THE BIG FAT QUIZ OF THE YEAR drops... Huge fan... And now I've just discovered 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN...

AND THERE ARE 17 BLEEDIN SEASONS SO FAR... 17!.. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, EVERYONE!..

[Seul]

Well I've just discovered a true television gem… FISHING WITH JOHN...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139776/

It's from 1991, has guests such as Matt Dillon, Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper,... It's as if the show itself took a lot of drugs... Twin Peaks meets Burdain's Parts Unknown...

I can't post a direct link, but if you were to look it up at LimeTorrents.info you might find it...
