mikeprice Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Ep 2 is not so much about the workers but focusses on the increasing desperateness of the state cover-up and the gradual realisation of the senior figures that it's already too late Just gutted it's not got all episodes on box-set yet, would happily watch the other 3 episodes in one night Maybe I'm old but I quite like the old fashioned idea of having to wait a week for the next one - gives you a chance to talk about it etc etc Not that we don't watch box sets - but the waiting can add something

When i was growing up i had a childminder who was part of a programme that every summer looked after Chernobyl kids. So i met a good chunk of people from there so it's always interested me! Watched countless docs and read a couple of books (just got another Audiobook about it). I don't know how much of the show is fact or fiction as there were a few bits i wasn't aware of! Will have to fact check! But i am enjoying it (if you can enjoy something like this!)
LeMarchand Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Maybe I'm old but I quite like the old fashioned idea of having to wait a week for the next one - gives you a chance to talk about it etc etc I'm with you on this. But I am probably older than many on here.

As far as I know, all characters are real with the exception of the Emily Watson character who is a composite of several prominent scientists who were involved at the time.

GrumbleDook Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I started to watch It Ain’t ‘Alf Hot Mum ... and whilst there are so many funny bits, it just leaves me feeling uncomfortable.
SpuffMonkey Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Just binge watched the 3rd series of Mum - such a poignant well written little comedy. Now starting Catch 22...
witch Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 What We Do in the Shadows BBC2 I love the film so was interested to see how they changed it into a series. First episode very promising 1
DJ-1701 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 What We Do in the Shadows BBC2 I love the film so was interested to see how they changed it into a series. First episode very promising Thanks for reminding me, was going to watch that on iPlayer as I noticed the episodes air on Sunday. The film version is available on iTunes to rent for 99p or £2.99 to buy. I agree, it is great.
Garacesh Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Checked out Paradise PD on Netflix. I'm 3 episodes in and... It's alright. Not really anything exceptional, though. I could take it or leave it. Probably won't finish the season if it doesn't pick up a bit more soon.

If you want a decent(Amazing) animated comedy on Netflix check out Final Space (My avatar is from it) 1

DalekSec Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 You know I've already watched that I've made references to it on Discord. I don't keep track of what everyone is watching! xD On Topic: THE TICK! Love it, on last episode of series 2, sad though as its not been renewed :/

First episode very promising I wasn't a fan of the film, but have watched some of this because of Matt Berry. I think I prefer it - at least I've laughed out loud a few times. Been watching Whiskey Cavalier, which has been fun. Already cancelled, though. Not a surprise as they kept pushing back its release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhYQU5eWdCo
CAWJames Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Bonding on Netflix, slightly strange subject material but binged the hell out of it!
AJWhite1970 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 The OH has just finished S1&2 of Stranger Things on Netflix. Apparently S1 was brilliant, S2 started really well but became more meh as it went on to the point she's not bothering with S3 when it comes out in July...
Jawloms Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 We've recently got Netflix and my son has started watching Spongebob Squarepants on it. It was on when I was in the room the other day. Spongebob walked on to the stage and started reading a limerick, then said "Oops, sorry. Wrong one.". My boy looked at me funny when I laughed quite loudly. He didn't have a clue what I had found so funny. 1

LeMarchand Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Magicians - never saw what happened at the end of season 4 coming!! Just finished it. Sad now, and don't think I'll ever hera "Take on Me" again without thinking about "that" scene. Wonder what they're planning for S5, as they seem to have split everyone up again.
LeMarchand Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Binged a few episodes of "Future Man". Quite enjoyed the end of S1, but not too taken by the complete change of location for S2 so far.
FishCustard Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 The OH has just finished S1&2 of Stranger Things on Netflix. Apparently S1 was brilliant, S2 started really well but became more meh as it went on to the point she's not bothering with S3 when it comes out in July... I tend to agree with this, but I'll still watch S3. They had a really strong visual concept, which was fine for one series but they tried to do the same thing again (sort-of) and it became a little stale.
