    any good series to watch that would be set around same idea of 'Line Of Duty' or anything to do with emergency rescue ?

    Collateral isn't bad. In the dark and Happy Valleys are ok.

    All I can see is a placeholder saying "Season 4 coming in May". Which, well....

    Collateral started out well, but doesn't finish on such a high.

    The Burial of Kojo is an intriguing film from Ghana, for those in search of something unusual and interesting. It’s a pretty visually splendid film, full of clever framing and fetching dream-like images. The pacing is a touch uneven at times, and certain aspects don’t entirely work. But it pulls together surprisingly well at the end, with a conclusion that ties everything up in a satisfying, thoughtful and melancholic way. An accomplished debut film, and one that hopefully won’t get lost in the algorithms.

    'Happy Valley' is excellent - great drama and some superb acting. Okay is vastly underselling it - now a bunch of us hopefully haven't oversold it!

    Watched 'Highwaymen' last night. Enjoyed it for what it was. A bit of an ego rub for Costner, and Harrelson playing a slightly hobo-ish loveable rogue with a slight booze problem.

    (Surprise surprise)

    All in all,a good midweek 2 hour filler.

    I must say,it was beautifully filmed. Really great scenery.

    It keeps recommending that to me at the moment, was wondering if it was actually any good as the few visuals I saw on the app looked interesting.

    Netflix has announced an upcoming Original drama series that charts the origins of football. “The English Game”, which has already started production in the UK, is written and executive produced by “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes and produced by 42 (“Watership Down”, “Traitors”). The six-part drama charts the origins of football and how those involved in its creation reached across the class divide to establish the game as the world’s most popular sport.

    Surely that should read "reached across the class divide to keep those pesky working class folks occupied on the weekends so they didn't revolt" :p

    Caught Detroit (2017) and England is Mine (About Morrissey before he "became" Morrissey) on Netflix recently.

    I thought Detroit was excellent and England is Mine wasn't bad at all.

    I think Morrissey's a bit of a legend (Sleep is the brother of death!:D) but fell asleep watching England Is Mine waiting for something meteoric to happen. I watched it again and promptly fell asleep again! :rolleyes:

    I’m pretty sure this was written directed and starring Danny Dyer?

    Think I got sick in my mouth a little at reading that sentence.

    Yeah I know what you mean but something about the film clicked with me and I enjoyed it. I thought the script and the actor conveyed that slightly bitchy wit of Morrissey very well, even the quiet, slow desperation of the film matched what he went on to sing about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,394 ✭✭✭Ardent


    Can recommend The Ruthless. An Italian mafia/mobster movie. Solid 7/10 for me.

    Anyone watch Resurrection Ertegrul, had started downloading before I noticed there are about 150 episodes @ 40 mins +. 7.6 rating on IMDb though

    I wonder if Netflix will have seasons 1-3 of Lucifer as well as S4 - it'd be pretty silly not to have them, but now that Fox is owned by the Mousehouse I could see them being...unhelpful, let's say.

    Im an idiot. I read it as Luther not Lucifer!:o

    Detroit is excellent.
    Very much overlooked at the awards ceremonies last year. Especially the young English actor who was in the recent awful Bandersnatch Black Mirror.

    Watched Triple Frontier. :(


    Utter sh1te. Don't bother.

    Woeful stuff.

    Anyone watching Troy, Fall of a city?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    Black 47 was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Well worth a watch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,434 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Finally got round to watching The Sinner, really enjoyed it and thought Jessica Beil and Bill Pullman gave great performances. Is Season 2 any good?

    I didn't find it nearly as good and gave up half way through.
