Reply With QuotePistol was excellent.Originally Posted by wildheart
I must admit after what I'd read that I thought I would really enjoy this? I've the last episode to watch. I've struggled to get this far but the last two episodes have kept me on side.
Agree it it is beautifully shot with a 70's vibe ..... but as with all musical recreations of the past, the realism leaves a lot to be desired. The actors are good especially Billy Dunne and Daisy, but I don't really believe they are a band, almost like watching the Monkee's in some episodes.
Yes a nod towards Fleetwood Mac, but without the 'real' chaos that musicians cause. For me Pistol on Disney portrayed the disfunction better. Maybe the fictional element of the show, got in the way of portraying the 70's how they really were? Read Debbie Harry's memoir if you really want to get transported back to that era.
Pistol was excellent.
Cheers,
Neil.
Indeed, she doesn't seem to recall very much of it at all!

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Amateur David.
Think I've watched it 15-20 times at least.............never bore of it and can recite it almost word for word.
(I'll get my coat!!)
I’ll happily admit to it! I was given the Blueray Box set for Christmas years and years ago by my kids and it mysteriously went missing, bought a bloody expensive bit of kit to play itnon too! Strangely enough my eldest also knows it word for word…
Enjoyed it except the ending!
I'm rather enjoying Grease: rise of the pink ladies.
It's "contemporary" but so was grease in '78, in its own way.
Oh and Enterprise with Captain Archer. You know... T'Pol and stuff.

This is very funny.
Whole series is available to binge on BBC iPlayer for those (like me) who like to watch back to back.
I actually went on a Soprano's set and location tour many years ago (with "Vito" as our host on the day) and there was a quiz on the coach as we drove between locations. After answering 5 straight questions correctly my girlfriend at the time said "put your hand up one more time and we'll get whacked by the others on the tour......"
Sage advice so I shut up!
The Sopranos gets better and deeper with each watch, like a great novel!
Better call Saul is also incredible ( and I actually prefer it to breaking bad ).
True detective series 1 is also riveting viewing.
It’s true what the say though, the TV holy trinity is Sopranos, the Wire and Breaking bad.

That sounds like amazing fun, would love to have done something like that!
I enjoyed breaking bad but it's not in the same league as the other 2.
I'd need to put Mad Men up there too.
I'll admit to some bias as the subject matter is rather close to my heart but I can recommend a new series on Neflix called Translantic. I'd advise some perseverance beyond episode 1 - it's deliberately shot in quite a lurid colour tone which belies the rather serious subject matter (Varian Fry and the evacuation of Jewish refugees from under the nose of the Nazis in 1941 Marseille). Some really strong performances and I think I've fallen very deeply in love with Deleila Piasko. Some delightful vintage watches which I was sadly unable to identify.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Ploughed through 7 episodes of Beef last night.
Well worth a watch-netflix.
Finished 2nd series of Your Honor last week. Felt it was slow for the first 3 episodes but really enjoyed it after that and the ending sets it up for a third series.
Beef is brilliant on many levels.
Watched Beef and was unsure whether is was brilliant or just a bit weird - maybe it's just me?
Re-watching The Man in the High Castle again with my 16 year old son - he's loving it and binge watched S1/S2 during the holidays.
Started Under the Dome on Ch5 - starts off well....let's see how it goes on.
3 into Beef, pretty good so far.
Finally got to Bloodline, just started S2.

It's not new but ive recently been bingeing on Longmire (amazon prime). Crime drama about a local sherrif working with/by the Cheyenne reservation.
It's VERY good and ive been gripped.
Plus Katee Sackhoff in uniform.
Enjoyed The Night Agent on Netflix. Worth a watch first couple of episodes are slow but it builds and does not disappoint.
It’s not new (2017) - but I recently watched & enjoyed Godless on Netflix.
It’s been on my watchlist for ages & a couple of long flights meant I had chance to binge watch most of it.

Thats on my list too! I put it on there having watched Merrit Weaver in Unbelievable on Netflix, which you might like if you havent seen it.
Thanks v, downloading now for my return trip !

Loving the final season (4) of Succession. Some of the best writing and acting of recent years on display here.
Absolutely - it's up there with the very very best. I love it.

If anyone has been watching the mandalorian, just how good was that last episode????
John favreau absolutely kicking goals, amazing episode.

Just half way through this. Pretty good so far!
Just started this 4 episodes 1 night. Very good
Ripper Street on Amazon Prime, an older series, just on the last Episode of Series 3, excellent TV.
Very good series Amazon brought the rights after the BBC dropped it , brilliant production values as well
Did Amazon make any Ripper Street episodes or just get the rights to show it?

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
The BBC cancelled after 2 series, so Amazon made series 3,4 and 5 but it was still made by Tiger Aspect productions i think filming moved to Ireland , it was one of Amazon most streamed series when released
Cheers

Last king of king cross, excellent watch.
On episode 5 from 7 of The Night Manager on Amazon Prime. Apparently from 2016, John Le Carre, big budget and stellar cast. Most enjoyable.
Did you spot the le Carré cameo in Episode 4?

No but I’m off to search it up now, thanks
Watching "The Diplomat" on netflix, 4 episode in and enjoying it

Started watching the Diplomat on Netflix - only 1 episode in but looking good.
Is that the same version of the series that aired on BBC a few years back?
The Truth Will Out. 2 seasons. Swedish policing in the style of the Sjöwall & Wahlöö stories and the original (Swedish) Millennium series. On Prime
Binge-worthy.
That's what I assumed when I made my comment, although that is a six episode series I believe.

If it is the same series, it’s an excellent excellent program, which if I remember correctly has Hugh Laurie in it too!

And surprisingly Hugh Laurie makes a very convincing baddie too.
Cheers,

Apparently season 2 is in the works, with Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Jonathan Pine.
Had a recommendation for this comedy series and thus far really enjoying it;
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...-from-accounts
Totally agree, fantastic!
Same here.
Always good to see Rufus Sewell on screen again - he was great in "Kaleidoscope" on Netflix too.
Mrs Davis, only seen the one episode so far, quirky...A feisty Nun with a past, a NEARLY all pervasive and omniscient AI, Schrodinger and his cat, THE holy grail quest, nefarious stage Magicians, shadowy cabals... I think it's got potential to be something really quite different and funny.
Star Trek: Picard season three has been outstanding overall, and the grand finale episode ten was just about perfect for any TNG fan.
So clever my foot fell off.
Indeed it must be - Hugh Laurie, Olivia Coleman, Tom Hiddlestone, and Le Carre in a cameo at the restaurant.

Agree - have started on this and enjoying it.
