What TV are you watching?

Interesting looking one off drama with Stephen Graham on Channel 4 tonight called The Watchman: he's a CCTV operator who gets involved in a drug deal where the police fail to.

Damn fine actor IMO so should be worth a look.

thanks for pointing this out... excellent little drama. Reminded me of Locke; one main character having various interactions by phone (mostly).

Yes, granted, photographically, the locks look far more impressive from the bottom

It was clear that they'd be descending the locks from the beginning. The shot from the base was just a shot rather than an approach

Yes, which is why I also wrote the above words

6 minutes to go.

[QUOTE 4453282, member: 45"]well we pressed on, and we're now into Season 4. It's a completely different show -Season 1 was clever and now this is like Scooby Doo with everyone running around and everything turning out ok at the end- but it's still entertaining.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'd agree with that. That's why I gave up! Turning a great idea into a farce annoyed me.

I've started watching season 12 of "Gray's Anatomy". The plots are as ridiculous as ever but that's good as you only need to use energy deciding which medical situation is based on fact or the farthest outreaches of fiction.

Started a couple of new things:

Go 8 Bit (Dave): good fun and really captures what it's like to have a laugh playing video games with your mates. The novelty of rotating the set wore off after the first go but other than that I enjoyed it.

Wolf Creek (Fox): an extended take on the two films that already exist. Doesn't really do anything new and the slower pacing takes a lot of the tension out, and there are moments which stretch believability to breaking point. Still, entertaining enough and won't drag on as it's only 6 episodes.

Finished The Flash s1, which is rather fun - not without its angst dramatic moments, but not weighed down with them in the way that some of the DC universe properties are.

Dipped back into Continuum, which is ok, but not the sort of compulsive viewing that begs a binge watch.

Lastly, Mr Robot continues, and continues to be very good.

Watched the Queen of Versailles last night - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qbz9m

I just, well, I, just, words fail me... mixed emotions about it. A harsh reality check for the filthy rich, but even 'struggling' on a reduced income they have a lifestyle one can only dream of...

100 Code.

Glorious shots of Stockholm in a variety of moods with tlh and I squealing with delight when we recognise a location.

Bit parp otherwise but not as bad as Ängelby (or whatever) which is a rubbish rip off of Jordskott. Both seem to share the same cast, many of whom are also popping up in 100 Code.

I've just watched part two of the 'Jay Leno's Garage' series, with the lowriders, & his initial appearance in a Citroen DS

Then, the end segment, with the JEEP FC170, on the beach, with the 'matt-Track' equivilants (Land Rovers did it in the early 60's, with the Cuthbertson Conversion)

Stranger Things
Netflix

Pretty perfect tale, for forty somethings who used to ride bikes and play D&D when they were kids, like me.

It's The Goonies/ET for the middle aged.

10/10

Season 2 of Narcos. Another superb thoroughly gripping Netflix original.

9/10

On Thursday i watched two episodes of Stranger Things. On Friday i watched five. Last night i watched the season finale... great stuff.

 

[MontyVeda]

... oh and The Code is back for a 2nd series. It's an Australian conspiracy hacker thing. It didn't need a 2nd series but so far so good
