TV Series

Untamed - Netflix.

Only six episodes, so an easy watch.

It`s nicely filmed, with some really stunning cinematography in the mountains and forests.

The premise is good, as is the way the story unfolds and Sam Neil and Eric Bana do a good job as the leads, but they`re let let down by the poor supporting cast, who give the whole thing the feel of an afternoon tv drama.

Could`ve been better.

The first few episodes of that I'm going to my missus "that actor is the absolute ringer of Sam Neill, I can't believe it", until I checked and it is him. His appearance has changed over the last few years through his health.

On the series, it was ok, worth a watch but forgettable.

Accused is on Netflix. One from 2010 by Jimmy McGovern. Only half way through the second episode but good so far. All individual stories.

Randomly watched dark matter the Joel Egerton one. Thought it was excellent. Now randomly starting silo. Getting back in to sci fi

Don't think I've seen this. Jimmy McGovern never disappoints.

Give it a go mate it's good. Sean Bean plays a cross dresser in the first episode and is brilliant

Watched the Spike Lee documentary about Hurricane Katrina on Netflix. Not much new information but it's well put together and some really interesting personal stories and interviews.

Now you say that I think I've seen it. At least the first episode on repeat. Thought it was weird if missed a Jimmy McGovern series tbh. Probably get to the last episode before remembering

I do stuff like that myself. Can get to the last 30 mins of a film before I realise I've watched it.

Very, very happy about this. Absolutely love Foundation. The season 3 finale was insane.

Following my enjoyment of Landman, and my immediate liking of Billy Bob Thornton in the lead role, I followed up a pal's recommendation and started watching Goliath, an eight parter on Paramount.
Another masterclass from the fella. Watched them all in three sessions, an excellent effort.

left me a few questions though! I’ve not read the books so not sure if this telling deviates from them or not but defo a bit of cliff hanger.

Anyone watched the field of dreams series?

It deviates from them massively to the point that this current story is mostly unrecognizable.

There are parts of it in enjoying. Everything with Demerzel and the Cleons.

The stuff they're doing with Gaal I am not a fan of at all and has ruined the payoffs of some of the better book moments for me.

Much better than landman imo

Would have been impossible not to really, the difference in mediums wouldn't lend itself to a TV series aside from the Mule book possibly.

Both are great imo
