It's beautifully filmed and the story's promising , but you know what it's like when you doze off watching a film and wake up not knowing what you missed ... well with this I kept dozing off and when I woke up it was as if I was still at the point that my eyelids dropped ...  

have to laugh as this is what happened when recently tried to re-watch his 'Dances with Wolves'

Just started to re watch "Silicon Valley" it's on HBO via one of those 'dodgy' thingymajigs.

It's a comedy set around a tech start up company. If you like nerdy tech stuff along with laddish behaviour you'll love it

Just watched the 1st episode of season 2, looks promising..............

 

it was terrible, and the last episode  was twaddle. I thought that it would turn out that way, can see there being 20 series, same formula and no improvement!

Just binged on all  'Mr Inbetween' series last week, maybe a bit late to the party on that one

Have just been doing the same thing.

I then did a quick search to see what else that Scott Ryan had appeared in and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a 2005 movie called "The Magician"  that was the first outing for the character Ray Shoesmith , written and directed by Scott himself , and even more pleasantly surprised to find it available on YouTube ...

Cheers for that , it's been so long since the first half of the series aired that I'm presently revisiting it before starting thenew episode.

As for Mr Costner's 'epic' western thing "Horizon : An American Saga" , I've tried it twice but I find it's like wading through treacle.

Landman has just started up 

It's another show from that Taylor Sheridan geezer and so its very much similar to Yellowstone and that prison one (the titles gone) 

This time we are talking Texan oil fields, we both enjoyed the first one here and it's recommended if ya like the guys other stuff

Paramount the official source

Anything with Billy Bob Thornton in it is worth a try.

Halfway through this and it's very good. If you're interested in podcasts I can highly recommend - Assume Nothing 'The Handler' on BBC sounds. Memoirs of a Special Branch officer during the troubles and how he handled IRA 'touts'

Is there a thread for soaps or would anyone be interested in one dedicated purely to one? 
I’m thinking Eastenders (my personal favourite) Coronation Street, Emmerdale etc.

I hope not.

We could re appraise Prisoner Cell Block H?

Don't worry you can all press the 'PAniC' button if things get too much...

 

ok, proper recent tele, SILO, I know, its a major show, but its very very good... and starting to get very interesting just now...

[Sweetchocolate]

I vaguely remember the original prisoner cell block H but I watched all of the recent remake Wentworth. Now that I could defo talk about. 

[Woodbutcher]

Aaah , just had that bittersweet moment you experience when you finish watching the final episode of something very good indeed.

Thank you to the makers of "Yellowstone" , it's been a great journey ...
