Last night I watched the very first episode of Star Trek TNG.
I loved it back in the day and wasn't sure what to expect. But I loved it.
And the TV quality was hexcellent.

Don't like silly science fiction and this always seemed a bit sensible IYSWIM ?

I'll be watching more. I love the Holodeck :)

'The Rig' was a bit bizarre and didn't go how i thought

The new Witcher follow on series.. bit crap

The new Vikings series... not bad

Cobra Kai... as daft as you'd expect :D

Alice in Borderland... well, it's.... a bit nuts... but in a good way... I approve.

Mrs. G was advised to watch Riptide, a four-part drama on Channel 5 by one on our friends, who is yet to be forgiven, so I had to suffer it as well.

All I will say is that it was very 'Channel 5'. :thumbdown:

Watched it at the cinema, based on how good In Bruges was. I have to agree with you, shite.

It's not exactly sponsored by the Oz tourist board, is it?
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

You People. You#d think Hollywood would have run out of stereotypes and cliches by now, but apparently not!

Just watched the first of the Guy Martin series on the UK leccy industry.

Very good on a number of counts.

First was to see what a clever home he now has.

Watched it for 10 minutes as it was 'recommended' but didn't understand a word of it. Why is it that 'black culture ' films of today feel like Brit sitcoms of the 70s?

Watched first 2 progs of Guy Martin's leccy adventure on CH4.
It's cool. Always liked him and I've learned a helluva lot.
I'm amazed.
