Re: Great TV Series
Yes, its quite good just got ep.6 to finish [IMDB 7.1] Emma Thompson is great. although this was another touted as Slow Horses - esque, but for me its more Utopia - esque [2103] especially with Adeel Akhtar being typecast in his usual role.

Re: Great TV Series
Watched a couple of episodes, nothing of note happened so have binned this as too slow.jacksosi wrote:

Then tried ‘The Expanse’, but was too cheesy to stick with
Next I’m trying ‘Future Man’…

Re: Great TV Series
For anyone with Netflix, and an interest in true crime, I heartily reccommend the Crime Scene documentary series': The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, The Night Stalker and The Times Square Killer.

The Death of Bunny Munro [IMDB 6.7] Written by Nick Cave and produced by the makers of Baby Reindeer.
2nd episode in it's very good.

Re: Great TV Series
Enjoyed the book (and audio book with NC soundtrack) but can't really see Matt Smith in the role. Too good looking and 'cool' however he slums it down.Stena Bib wrote:The Death of Bunny Munro [IMDB 6.7] Written by Nick Cave and produced by the makers of Baby Reindeer.

Will still watch it though!

Re: Great TV Series

I presume you don’t mean Vince Gilligan, as Hove Albion’s a fair way from Albuquerque…

Re: Great TV Series
*BLACK WIDOW (2010–2017) - 5/10 (Worth Watching)
[*Original Dutch title PENOZA]
Seasons 5 - Episodes 48
*in Dutch, Spanish and English (with English subtitles)
finished off with a sequel film in 2019 called PENOZA: THE FINAL CHAPTER
After her husband is assassinated, housewife Carmen reluctantly has to take charge of the criminal business of her family.
What can I say, I really loved this show at the start and the early seasons are the best 6/10 (Good) but as it goes on it got kind of so far fetched and repetitive with the film being the weakest part and have to say think would of been better off leaving the whole thing how season 5 ended. It was also really hard to track down the film with English subtitles which I needed (as do not speak other languages than English) so took me a long time to find it and get subs for it to be able to finish off this series.
I originally found this series through C4 On Demand in their Walter Presents catalog (where they bring the best non English language shows from around the globe and add English subtitles). Why it took me so long to finish it as often with WP they never got the later seasons and removed the ones they did have so I had to turn to unofficial sites and torrents etc. I hate how WP give you a taste of a foreign show but then do not stick with it and never get the follow up seasons!
