@EdH I’m in the U.K. and have been following the case so I’ll definitely check that out! Those of you in the U.K. May remember the Shoreham air show crash a few years back. There is a new documentary about it which is super interesting! It’s on the same channel as the repair shop.
Few other things I’ve watched recently were 1883 which was amazing and I’ve just rewatched all the Detectorists which is just brilliant

Can't do anything with dubbed audio and also in the camp of watching everything with subtitles on as we tend to do a lot of shows with accents (e.g. bbc) or foreign languages. Also I find many shows/audio mastering to be done pretty poorly to pickup on speech.
+1000% on Dark @flannel-slut . Such a brilliantly written and planned show. We've been meaning to rewatch it to see how many things we missed going through the original viewing. More shows need to go in with knowing the ending and a set number of episodes, which, I'm assuming they did with how well everything was done.
@jiminstitches And Detectorists is a favorite. Something about that show is so peaceful, relaxing, and ultra deadpan funny. "No, this is a metal detector". There keep being rumors that a new season is coming but it's been a while since the last update. Because of that show also a fan of Johnny Flynn.

@pechelman dude you summed it up, it is just peaceful and charming. All the character development is great too. I suspect I will rewatch it many times, Mckenzie Crook is an incredible writer to make subtle comedy work like that. I hope they bring it back! Another comedy I rewatch often is Season 1 of Game On with Ben Chaplin & Samantha Janus, cracks me up every time

Sure do, travelled past the scene to visit my =aged mum in Brighton once a week before and after.............
-
@Giles Yeah it was very sad, I was on my way from Brighton to Worthing when it happened. I remember cycling past a month later and the crater from the impact was 20 foot deep!

Who’s gonna be watching Masters of the Air premiere this weekend?! I can’t wait!
-
@jiminstitches ill definitely give it a go. I enjoyed the other two series they did. Masters of the Air doesn’t look as good to me for some reason. Not sure what it is but the trailers haven’t really done it for me. I’ll definitely still check it out. Hopefully I’m wrong!
-
I'd recommend Masters of the Air for the flying jackets alone! Some amazing leather! The first couple of episodes are watch worthy enough to keep me engaged in following the series.
My contribution, to urban blues…

@IH-GARY watched the first 2 and thought it was great! Felt more like band of brothers and not quite as harrowing as the pacific. The in-flight scenes were incredible and yes the leather jackets were great, I have a feeling that knowing the level of detail hanks and Spielberg have they would of done their history on the clothing
-
@jiminstitches the jackets were supplied by Aero & Eastman, so no surprise on how good they look. I think anyone expecting BOB etc may be a little disappointed. I’m in it for the aviation history, the details in the cockpit scenes are fascinating and the actual aerial bombardments from flak and small aircrafts look terrifying.
-
@IH-GARY - agreed. Although I have a general good-natured antipathy towards the ‘air component’ (having been in the Army for 20 years), I wanted to dislike this. However, I thought it was really good and the jackets were pretty damn impressive. I will definitely be watching the rest of the series although I fully expect that it will tail off like Band of Brothers and The Pacific did. Here’s hoping that it doesn’t.

@Mizmazzle your Floyd post reminded me of this one - at a certain point they discuss making the cover art for that one as well as a bunch of other awesome albums
