Littlefinger from GoT plays Allen. It's a mix of biographical stuff and r reenactments of sketches and monologues. Littlefinger played Allen and Varys played his brother. It was very good I thought. If you watched the documentary afterwards you could see how well Aiden Gillen played him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUseforaUsername Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Mad About You is the latest show to be revived according to reports. I just wish John Mahoney lived long enough for a Frasier revival. Ah well, I'll live in hope for a Seinfeld revival. Kevin Can Wait is practically King of Queens without Jerry Stiller at this stage.

Mr_Danger Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Atlanta keeps getting better and better. It' such a short length per episode but they don't waste a single second of it. The cast is great, Donald Glover is a talented fellow, must take after his dad Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 16, 2018 Should I talk about my watching Cunk On Britain here or on the documentary thread? It always amazes me that Diane Morgan can deliver the lines she does and still keep a straight face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ash vs Evil Dead is getting better and better per episode but it's likely to be getting cancelled due to poor ratings on Starz after the final episode of season 3 in 2 weeks, however there's been talk of Netflix picking the show up for a fourth season or better yet a 4th film (5th if you count the reboot) to close out the franchise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Watched the first episode of BBC's adaptation of The City & The City. Pleasantly surprised. China Mieville's stuff, by and large, feels like it should be inherently unfilmable, but they did a decent enough job with this one, though, particularly as the central premise could have been very difficult to pull off on TV, but it seems to work well. Atmosphere is great, and stylistically I like everything about it. Only real downside so far is David Morrissey playing the most generic of gruff cops, but that's almost necessary for the story to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Anyone catch True Horror on Channel 4 last night? A decent enough premise, a crimewatch type reconstruction of an apparent haunting, but the execution was terrible. Â Every ad break seemed to have a teaser jump scare and it ruined any rhythm of the storytelling. Â It was a shame as it could have been decent, but it turned out shite.

AnotherCrapUsername Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Anyone watch The Last Man On Earth? Â Just finished the 4th series, equal parts completely stupid but incredibly brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The 4th season hasn’t finished yet, there’s still three episodes left to air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted April 21, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2018 Since the Roseanne revival I've gone back and started it from scratch. There's a lot of nostalgia there that I'd completely forgot about. The thing is it never seems to get mentioned in the great sitcoms discussions but it really is top notch. I'm just starting season 3 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there is some truth in the Netflix rumour as it's a cracking little show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUseforaUsername Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I started watching Boardwalk Empire from Season 2 so I can't speak for the first season as a whole, but from what I've seen, it's a great show, and a similar vibe to the Sopranos. The Wire isn't as accessible; you need to pay a lot more attention to it. I also think it's a little bit overrated. I haven't watched much GOT. I'm not into the science fiction/fantasy genres. From what I've seen of it, it's a bit gratuitous in terms of nudity and horror; almost like a fantasy version of Saw. If you do watch the Wire or Boardwalk Empire, give it time, as they both hit their stride in Season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted April 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2018 I've just finished Netflix's Lost In Space reboot thingy. It's not the worst show I've ever watched, but I agree with many opinions I've seen online where it felt like a series long pilot. Will be interesting to see where it goes. Also, watched the first episode of Amazon's "The Crossing", which has some serious potential in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Breaking Bad’s first series suffered from the writer’s strike, hence why it’s only 7 episodes. Ive tried numerous times with The Wire, and while it is acted & written very well it moves at a snail’s pace in places. I’ve watched through all the major HBO 1hr dramas, and none of them seem to drag as much The Wire did. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that I stuck with it, but it was a slog at times, S2 in particular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
