Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
American Primeval is great so far. 2 episodes in. Taylor Kitsch redeeming himself for the True Detective disaster. Gritty and gnarly.
I have heard good things about this, its pretty high on my watch list.
Caught up on the latest Paradise episode and its been really good.
Same, because it's not available anywhere to stream (legally at least). Weird.
The Snow Girl on Netflix is pulpy and quite rubbish really
more of a Harlem Corben vibe than nordic noir, which is what I was hoping it would be

Fantastic series
This has gone viral here, seems like top notch TV
part 2 is great too

Just as well they had the camera man ready to follow him running down the beach and through the trees.
Jesus this stuff is so fake. Hah.
Post a link!

But it's pretending to be some kind of weird game show no? I've never actually watched an episode, I'd rather pluck nose hairs. So perhaps I'm missing the point and it's meant to be this fake and daft.
Reality TV always make me cringe mind.
Not a recommendation at all but just stumbled across „Van Helsing“ again and remebered how much I liked it when I watched it years ago. Clearly a so bad it‘s good again case for me but the first couple of seasons are very enjoyable. Bit like Walking Dead without all the pretentious bs.
Anybody else ever saw it?

Yeah I loved it when it came out and rewatched it several times since. I love movies like that, the Underworld flicks, or also Bram Stoker's Dracula for good ol fashioned horror stuff. Btw...the latter >Nosferatu. Wasn't impressed with that movie at all.
Oh whoops...yes I thought I was in the movie thread. Never watched the TV show hahaI meant the trashy tv series and not the movie
You did talk about the movie, right?
Anyone watching or watched Yellowstone? Tempted to add this to the watchlist.
Rewatching Love/Hate for the first time in ages.. I absolutely love it and it's by far the best television this country has produced but I'm not sure someone who isn't from Dublin/Ireland would get as much out of it? I'm curious what a non Irish person thinks of it.
First season of Mr. Mercedes was great. Second season is a bit weird with Brady "mind-controlling" the nurse despite being in a coma.
We are watching it for the first time. Great in many respects but declines as it goes along even if the production values improve. I think I slightly prefer Kin.
Just watched series 2 of Vigil. All a bit silly.
Finished American Primeval tonight. 6 episodes, they told their story, got in got out no hanging about. Best show I’ve seen in a long time.
Because it had a finite distance to run, it capped off a lot of the stories in a way that feels unusual, especially when you’re used to staying with characters over multiple seasons.
That’s the main quibble. I think it was unnecessary to
A minor quibble is some of the editing choices (demanded by the director or Netflix) that show a character’s death tableau in multiple shots, like how a cheesy action film would blow something up and you’d see the explosion in 6 different angles. In one instance, a character is shot a couple times (hand, arm, leg) and you know what’s coming. He takes a bullet to the face and falls on his back, dead. Then they show him from above. Then they cut to something else, then come back to him 3, 4, 5, 6 times. They did that with multiple deaths and it’s unnecessary, like they’re trying to swing for Emmy nominations.
Anyway barring that, excellent show. Betty Gilpin and Saura Lightfoot-Leon were fire!

snuff out a handful of main characters. They could have left it open ended and then it wouldn’t have felt so forced at the end.

Silo silly, or 3 Body Problem silly?
Why are there so many TV shows and films called "American ________"
no other country does this
In this case it’s about primeval America.
Because we’re very good at “American” and “__________” (ffs that can’t be real) unfortunately.
More a pointless thriller that ends up having a ludicrous plot and it also relies on the badies making a full confession, with a long exposition, under the lightest of questioning at the end. It makes series 1, which was fairly silly, look brilliant in comparison.
Kin was fine but it lacked the humour/levity of Love/Hate which I think a show so violent and depressing kind of needs
I’m sure it’s Father Ted meets Derry Girls, so I’m your huckleberry.
Started Black Snow, 2 seasons 12 eps, decent reviews.
In 1994, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated Isabel's Australian South Sea Islander community. The case was never solved, the killer never found. In the present day, the opening of a time capsule unearths a secret that puts cold-case detective James Cormack (Fimmel) on the trail of the killer.

Starting The North Water, gets excellent reviews
Just finished Before with Billy Crystal, 10 x 30 min eps, not a Crystal fan but it was excellent.

If you are into real life serendipity/karma/sliding doors stuff and how small our world is today, you should watch The Best Heart Attack of My Life (6 episodes).
An incredible true story, the only artistic license involved is essentially non-core irrelevant stuff (e.g. what type of writer the guy was, which helps explain his prior state of mind/health as the true reasons are far more convoluted).
Being familiar with it, what I've always found fascinating is that the story that originally made the headlines was that of the main character and it was only a couple of years later that the far more amazing story of the secondary characters emerged.
No more spoiling. It's a Disney Star+ production which you should be able to access in different platforms.

Just finished Disclaimer. I'm not sure whether Sacha Baron Cohen put in a good acting performance or just played himself but he captured the upper middle class wankstain from Richmond perfectly.
he was the best thing about it
Has anyone see The Chosen? Seems to be 9.1 on IMDB.
Based on the reviews of god?
That or his disciples!
