What TV Have You Seen?

[gag]

Adolescents on Netflix starring Stephen Graham,
He really is one of the best actors around and extremely under rated, uck all these American and Hollywood actors give me him any day of the week, everything he plays he plays so well and with always a touch realism,

Its about modern day knife crime where his son has been accused of killing a girl in his school,

Each episode is all
One scene like a continuous take-with no visible cuts, no breaks in time.
One camera
One angle
In real time,

Its such such a powerful hard hitting series with minimum effort the tonne and music score is what makes it work so well.


First episode the arrest
2nd all about the school and trying to get answers,
3rd all talk being analysed is seems a bit slow but its all done deliberately.
4th the family and how they coping with the dad slowly breaking down.


Absolutely recommended.

Rewatched Gangs of London, but tbh not sure if Im arsed about 3rd series, I liked the first, and 5th episodes of Storming the Cottage was great piece of action.
2nd thought just went ridiculously stupid and Ott, I'm aware these programmes do,
But How many times can Shaun be killed but not die,
Billy dont make me laugh, about as much use as a colander for holding water, and couldn't fight his way out of a cloud. But wants to take on Elliot, like me trying to take on the Rock or someone.
Elliot, not a cat in hell chance he gets out alive from the building in Paris,
And the storylines of hating each other and trying to take each other out and shooting everyone up then suddenly working together annoys me.
I know they're far fetched but even a slight bit of believability would help.
I don't know if programmes and films are getting beyond believability or just me being less tolerant of Ott's ridiculous action.
At least years ago films and TV shows weren't this far-fetched and had some touch of realism to them.

I watched the first episode of season 2 of The Last of Us. Boy, I sure hope things improve soon. In the first (awesome) season, Bella Ramsey did a good job as a 14 yr old girl. Now she's awkwardly playing an unlikeable moody 19 yr old, who we're also now somehow supposed to buy as a badass. I found her pretty much insufferable in this episode, every other actor was fine. Most annoying performance and writing that I've encountered in a long time. Dear show, please get much better. btw Am watching on my own, this time around, as my wife is unimpressed with the second video game killing off a key character.

I would enjoy rewatching Watching after all these years. Especially since it?s based and filmed where I grew up, Wirral.

After years of putting it on my ?to watch? list, I finally got around to watching Ripper Street.
Why did I wait so long to watch this? What a seriously brilliant show
