MikeO Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Iplayer recommendation after the SAS thing was Michael McIntyre's The Wheel, what the fuck? I'd rather pluck my eyeballs out with a teaspoon than watch that twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formby Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 5 hours ago, MikeO said: Didn't realise there was a new one out, 1930 one was/is a classic, I'll have watch. I loved the fact that, like the book, it was in German. Gave it a very authentic feel, like you were seeing the shared history from the other side, and realising that everything was just the same - the uncaring leaders, the desperate conditons, the loved ones back home, the brutality of war and the ultimatum loneliness of brave men from both sides. I prefered it to 1917, if you have seen that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night's episode ended with the Stranglers Something better change, get in great program and the stranglers, can't be bad for a Sunday evening.

I binged all 4 episodes last night. What's crazy is I eventually started to feel compassion for Blatter, if only because there were others who were just as (or more) vile than he was. The whole thing really makes you not want to watch the world cup this year... Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writing, direction and acting is all top notch. The third episode from last week will likely be one of the best episodes of television we'll see in 2023. I'm currently on a Spielberg binge right now. Have re-watched a bunch that I've seen previously, watched for the first time ones like AI, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, etc. ET is still #1 in my opinion.

Ep3 has a big twist too which is quite original unless you've played Portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles better so far than s2 (which was also unoriginal by your definition; back in time to Earth has been done in 2 films and several episodes, mostly very well done if you ignore ST4) and most of s1 which was a massive let down.
