Popular Post covidiot Posted April 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2021 Not recent, but I liked these TV series: Carnivale - Set in the 30s, tale of good vs evil.

The IMDB rating of 8.4 is reflective of how good it is methinks. Edited April 29, 2021 by Will27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Just binged the 1st 2 seasons of “ Manifest “ on fmovies. Piece by piece the Stone family, aided by other passengers, learn about people in danger and through the medium of visions, gained from the “ miracle “ flight, they set out to follow the cryptic clues and save the day. Seems like the opportunities for a new story every episode are endless and after a marathon 29 episodes ( at 45 mins each ) I think it could run for a while yet. Season 3 started and another 4 episodes already available. While some of the regular characters are more appealing than others the “ hook “ to keep you watching in hopes of finding out the truth about flight MA 828 is strong. If you like your sci-fi more X-files than Star Wars then this is worth a watch IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched this and liked it, as said a gruesome cowboy story with a twist ( reminded me a little of Cowboys and Aliens ). Some black comedy in parts, Chicory talking about the flea circus ????. Well worthy of a watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk711 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The program "Viewpoint" that Will27 posted on, is a good little police thriller, but now I see in the paper that they may cancel the very last episode that was to go out tonight- as the lead actor Noel Clarke has been accused of misconduct with the female actors. He vehemently denies the allegations, but Bafta has already cancelled his membership. (talk about pre judging ) Its a who done it murder, last episode we find out---gets beyond stupid doesn't it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9527815/Viewpoint-viewers-switch-light-Noel-Clarke-sexual-harassment-allegations.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its OK Will27 --its a slow burner, gets 5.9 on IMDB and I have certainly seen worse with much higher ratings. There's some things that you think....Oh Yer, Like he is with the surveillance squad of the police. & I have never seen so many people in the UK leave their curtains open all night while he wanders around with his binoculars & camera. but I guess you can pick holes in most of the (fictional) police ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer I have got the same affliction Xylophone = I make new friends every day--- I have a 2 terabyte external drive, which I put somethings that I feel I might come back to and watch again--but there have been so much in the last few years, most that I get from here, that I have a problem keeping current, let alone going back. Got it out last week and perused it, some stuff I couldn't remember. but one that stood out was "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" -- Great novel, and TV version was true to it, Set (In an alternate history) during the time of Napoleonic Wars that Britain was losing--so they decided to employ 2 magicians to help them--(create rain when Napoleon wanted to redeploy troops, storms when his ships were moving, move roads etc etc. ) but Jealousy amongst them made one of them enlist the help of darker forces. ..So I am watching that once again. .
