Along the same as analysis of The Two Popes: "two blokes talking to each other". Doesn't quite do justice to a superb film.

I get you but in this case you've been warned. It's not a film I would ever remotely consider watching again.

I've read the book and seen the original film, so bit of a spoiler for this one

We've just watched Murder on the home front, in netflix, it's brilliant.

Black Bird, crApple TV - excellent series - worthy of a binge.

Just watched Flags of our Fathers.
Good film.
Debunking the usual USA folklore, legends and heroes
The last 30 seconds made it all sink in

There's a companion film to that "Letters from Iwo Jima" with events seen from the Japanese perspective.

The Dry. Aussie film, which doesn't have a bad story, but it came across as a real low budget production. I still kinda enjoyed it though?

Colin from accounts, Beeb Iplayer thing - good Aussie comedy series.

I've watched a couple of episodes, it's surprisingly not terrible.

Started watching "your honor" with the guy from breaking bad. It's quite good. Not as good as breaking bad.

[Taipan]

Enjoyed it.

Vicky McClure: My Grandad's War. Very good, moving, humbling and poignant.

I read the book, the Japanese general (Kurbayashi?) knew that all he was doing was just buying a few days worth of time and knew they would be overrun.
Brave man just on the wrong side of history.

Killing Eve.

We were glued to series 1. But half way through series 2 and we've gone off it a bit. The whole dynamic has changed.
Is it worth persevering?

It arguably gets weirder

My advice would be to bail on it now and remember the first series fondly.

Kalifornia

Can't believe this filmed slipped my net for so many years.

Juliette Lewis' role is very well played with an all round cast also pulling their weight.

It gets too caught up in it's own hype. Series one was good, if a little far-fetched. Series two was passable. I gave up with the third....

Mrs G had a friend recommend Firefly Lane. It's a chick-lit novel made into chick-schilck Telly.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9012876/

I knew it was going to be God-awful, but happy to watch it with one eye closed. Happy to say that Mrs. G got a point halfway through one of the episodes whereby she proclaimed it be utter, unbelievable dross and turned it off.

Comic strip presents…The Yob on Channel 4 player.

Still love it after all these years, my fave of all of them.
