Why? You a big fan of the crying kid? Or the other crying kid? Or the crying Mum? Or the kid that cries but also has a bleeding nose?

Mikey B, you are a champion. You should do this professionally. For professionals.

I haven't watched either series of Stranger Things, but on the strength of the evidence presented here I can categorically state that Farrell is the best player in the Northern Hemisphere (We're talking about Chris, right?)

Have you seen any of Matt Berry's nature short films, they are quite funny.kk67 wrote:Blue Planet II.

What is annoying me about Blue Planet 2 is the sound effects they put on for the underwater sequences, other than that it's pretty good.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Black Mirror coming out between Christmas and New Year - should make for a cheerful break from our current reality - which is probably why he isn't doing a 2017-wipe (it was depressing enough last year before the full horror of reality had hit)

I'm looking forward to that, there's also a new series of Sneaky Pete on Amazon shortly which should be good.Which Tyler wrote:Black Mirror coming out between Christmas and New Year - should make for a cheerful break from our current reality - which is probably why he isn't doing a 2017-wipe (it was depressing enough last year before the full horror of reality had hit)

That’s a shame.

The League of Gentlemen series 4 has started.
Outstanding show. Very funny and dark. Just hope it can live up to the first 3 series.

Re: Good TV Shows
Watched the first episode of Black Mirror series 4 last night. It was pretty good too. It had the familiar cynical feel for modern technology, but with a nice homage to Star Trek.
Got the rest lined up to watch today.

Spiral, the excellent French crime drama, is back on BBC4. Well worth a watch.

That looked quite good. How far in are you? I'm still a bit scarred after the horrendous nosedive that Stranger Things took.Adder wrote:Started watching "dark"a German show on netflix.

Watching the Leftovers at the moment. It's pretty patchy but really quite powerful at times.

I would recommend. Really appreciating the way the plot is slowly revealed. A bit less Goonie like than stranger things if thats what got to you.

Fargo season III, similar to the last two, worth a look.

I’ve been told it’s like the good bit s of walking dead without all the preachy, emotional bollocks. Fair?cashead wrote:Anyone watching Ash vs the Evil Dead?
It's great, undemanding viewing, with each episode being a brisk 30 minutes or so each. It's a pulp series that oesn't have any pretensions about what it is, and chooses instead to revel in it, while demonstrating an astonishing command of its own characters (you'd expect that considering that the Raimi brothers are involved)

Z Nation is a bit like that too, imagine the Walking Dead with a sense of humour.cashead wrote:If you want gore, humour, cheesy one-liners and lots and lots of zombie-killing, it’s the show for you.Mikey Brown wrote:I’ve been told it’s like the good bit s of walking dead without all the preachy, emotional bollocks.

Re: Good TV Shows
Buchanan's 'Animals with Cameras' on Beeb1 better than overdramatised blue planet-2 for wildlife footage, for me.
Last night's giant devil-rays (azores), dump-feeding bears (turkey) and dogs v. wolves (france) was fantastic.
