About halfway through it now and enjoying it, love the quantum physics twist with the very attractive Schrödinger's cat (Noomi Rapace).dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:43 am I'm into ep 2 of Constellation and I have to confess it's not gripping me.

Bass Reeves is also a pretty good Western, though too short at just six episodes.
My current fave is The Gentleman, watched the first one yesterday and know this is going to be good. Sexy Beast was ditched after the first episode.

Thoroughly enjoyed "The Gentleman" and long may it continue. Also binned "Sexy Beast", but it did have a lot to live up to!!

I gave up during ep.3 of Netflix's 3 Body Problem highly rushed/compressed, with huge chunks of the story missing and terrible characterisations. Others who haven't watched the epic Chinese version or read the book might enjoy it but it's very thin fare.
Anyone who wants to watch the 30 episode Chinese rendition can check my previous message for downloading the version with the best subtitles.

Shame about that. Wasn't sold on the 'By the creators of Game of Thrones' angle pushed... as could never get into that, but it sounded interesting nevertheless.404cameljockey wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:52 pm I gave up during ep.3 of Netflix's 3 Body Problem highly rushed/compressed, with huge chunks of the story missing and terrible characterisations.

Have neither read the book nor watched the original but I'll venture to those first.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I'd seen it had been planned by several critics - sad really, I was looking forward to it. Will still give at least the first one a go.404cameljockey wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:52 pm I gave up during ep.3 of Netflix's 3 Body Problem highly rushed/compressed, with huge chunks of the story missing and terrible characterisations.

Appreciate I may be alone in that feeling but that's how I feel

Bass Reeves is 8 episodes not 6.

Just finished S2 of Halo - phew! This may not be The Way, but it's a pretty damn good alternative route!

Hatton Garden(2019)
Tonight I watched all 4 episodes of this ITV drama, a true story re robbery over Easter weekend in 2015. One of the biggest in UK history. Stars Timothy Spall. Very good. 8/10

Finally got round to that Fargo a lot of you been mentioning over the past decade. Binged most of season 1 today. Pretty damn good ain't it.

Good to know, EZTV was only showing six, so I found a season pack with the other two.thecolonel wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 4:56 pm Bass Reeves is 8 episodes not 6. Maybe they hadn't aired yet at the time you checked
Constellation was very good, especially if you have a grip on quantum entanglement!
3 Body coming up next.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I watched Passenger yesterday. Police procedural but quite spooky. Not perfect, a bit muddled and a bit sketchily scifi (mostly just hinted at until near the end of the series). I thought the characterisations were generally really good and I'll definitely watch the second series.
It ends on a cliffhanger so
Just caught the first series of Blue Lights another police drama, based in Belfast where partisanship and hatred is still strong. Gritty, obviously a bit violent at times but engrossing, rookie cops trying to cope feature strongly. Second series on the way and I'll watch that too.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Regarding “Passenger”, would you recommend that somebody (like me) who gave up after 10 minutes thinking this doesn’t look very good, should persevere?404cameljockey wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 8:30 am I watched Passenger yesterday.
