Ayrshire Chris Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Finally made it through to the end of Ashes to Ashes. Spoiler alert, they were all dead all along including the lovely Alex but existed in a halfway house between life and death, a place for troubled cops. Gene Hunt helped them move on to another place whatever the fuck that means. The entrance to this place was through the doors of the pub where Sam Tyler drank in Life on a Mars. And his beloved Quattro was trashed at the end by a diamond smuggler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Just started Noughts and Crosses last nigh and it's so different to the book that it's messing with my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Working through the Mark Kermode's Secrets of Cinema series on BBC, really good watch. Looks at the influences, tropes, techniques and history of different genres. Also watching the Dark Side of the Ring series on Vice. Great for wrestling fans and anyone that likes true crime type series. All good but be warned, the Chris Benoit episode is bloody hard going.

Not yet, although I'll probably get round to it. Where's it available? Mrs Q only remembers bits of wrestling from being a kid (Hogan, Warrior etc) so didn't think she'd be into it, but she was watching the Bruiser Brody episode with half an eye while she was reading a book and got hooked. She does love her murder telly The other good one if you've got Sky is the Andre the Giant documentary, it's currently available n demand I think.

Tbh it's the documentaries which largely make it worth the money. Mrs Antilles absolutely hates the rasslin but she got properly hooked in with the Edge doc, she now had 'that one wrestler guy I like' 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Just finished Schitt's Creek yesterday and it was brilliant. I had to do a really boring work task all weekend. Spent 20 hours of my weekend working and this was the perfect companion. I'm going to miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghandi Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I binged my way through to 9 series two episodes in of Anthony Bourdains show on Netflix. Just love the man, the best journalistic Food and travel show ever. Actually this is my second time around, i watched them all before when it was initially on Netflix a couple of years ago. Such a tragic loss , just goes to show that mental health can effect anyone. What a life he had. If there was ever a man i would want around my table for a chat ( remember that one? ), then it would be him. RIP Anthony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished Sons Of Anarchy a few weeks ago, I debated jumping into the spin-off - Mayans MC - but have held off. Started Umbrella Academy Season 2 last night, I'll watch that over a few nights when the kids are asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1984 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 New seasons of Dark and Umbrella Academy on my list. Also interested in Stateless and Prodigal Son. Was rewatching Stath Lets Flats over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the characters are so well written and Moira is just a dream of a character. Can't believe she almost didn't accept the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it has a lot of subtitles though and at the moment workload means I need things that I can work through whilst watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we did notice is that S3 is a lot more sweary than S1 and 2. Now I'm not a prude we just noticed it. Apparently this is because the first 2 series were made by ABC whereas the 3rd was made by Netflix who didn't have the same 'restrictions' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
