…I’ve just started watching Collateral on Netflix…I’ve only watched one episode and it’s very binge-able because there are only 4 parts, which Is perfect for me…I’m enjoying it and it’s a great cast with Carey Mulligan, Nicola Walker and Billie Piper…

..there were lots of threads to the storyline and it wasn’t a bad binge watch at all…I would definitely recommend and an excellent cast…

I've started watching a Reality TV Show called The Trust.

The concept is a bit tricky to explain (and I am atrocious at explaining things) so it's best to just check it out for yourself, and see what you think.

For me personally, I like the idea of the Show, and some of the neurotic behaviour from some of the contestants, and no offense when I say this, but most of the batshit stuff is coming from the women.

But there are three issues that I have had with the first two episodes.

1. It's too political for it's own good, to the point where I swear that they're feeding contestants lines, just to shove in some cult speak dialogue.

2. There is a likability issue with the contestants, I honestly don't like any of them as Human Beings.

Don't get me wrong they're not evil people per say, but I just don't really like them either.

And 3. I do think that there is some staged moments in the Show, that feel blatant to me, but then I thought that Ellie was obviously rigged for to win Strictly last year, but some people couldn't see that blatant fixing either, so maybe it's just that I'm noticing it more because I have seen all of the tricks that Reality TV Shows have done in the past, because I watch so much of it? Because maybe the scripting element of The Trust is less noticeable to more casual Reality TV audiences?

And btw I don't mean casual as a dig, all types of fans are welcome in my eyes.

I'm going to be watching the finale of Physical 100 Series 1.

It's been way more fun to watch than The Trust imo, I honestly don't know how these competitors are able to do most of these comps.

…this is another up and coming that looks very gripping…

in light of war remembrance day i watched We Were the Lucky Ones last night on Disney+

Youtube video

beautifully made series, also receives lots of praise apparently from the critics as well as the jewish community


omg also horrible how Poland got invaded from both sides in WW2, it was choosing between the lesser of 2 evils basically for the polish jewish people and i understand it that they'd feel safer with the sovjets than with the nazi's


proper acting work too Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson title character in the similar titled films) Joey King (who had decent roles in action films like White House Down, Independence Day: Resurgence, Battle: Los Angeles but also starred in The Conjuring)

as well as many israeli actors and actresses in this



probably every wednesday new episode releases on Disney, it's still airing on Hulu either in the US so

I've watched the first 5 episodes of Season 2 of Physical 100.

Tbh it's nearly as good as the first Season imo, the only real thing that's separating them for me, is that the Second Season has brought a contestant back from Season 1, and I despise returnee twists from a previous Season on any Reality TV Show.

But other than that it's been a fantastic Season.

…this starts today on Apple TV…

…it looks intriguing, I’ll definitely be watching…

Bodkin is a darkly comedic thriller about a motley crew of podcasters who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in an idyllic, coastal Irish town. But once they start pulling at threads, they discover a story much bigger and weirder than they could have ever imagined.

…and this starts tomorrow, so we’re good to go atm with TV watching…

I love Physical 100 and I'm not even sure why - I'm not usually interested in physical competition shows but it's just so... wholesome . They're all so impressed by each other/supportive of each other.

Plus, in S1 the guy they called "Iron Man" valiantly attempting to hip thrust a massive wooden ship up a ramp, is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen this year. He was putting so much into that crotch grind .

I agree with you on both points.

In particular I was really not expecting to enjoy it as much as I have.

Physical 100 definitely joins Fallout for Shows that I have liked way more than I expected going into them in recent times.

loving We Were the Lucky Ones

proper made ww2 series


Ukrainians were also so vile jeez

Spoiler:

how they just kicked one older jewish guy, the guy got up and approached a police officer, and the officer just shot the man in cold blood

…I’ve started to watch Bodkin…so far it’s been very enjoyable but I’m only two episodes in atm…

[Livia]

I completely missed The Walking Dead but my OH was a big fan. We've spent the last couple of months watching all 11 seasons. I'm an absolute convert. Also watched Fear the Walking Dead, Walking Dead The World Beyond and the first season of Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

We've just got around to the Rick and Michonne series - I'm enjoying it, it has a very different feel to anything before it in TWD, more "World War Z" (being focused on the CRM) than the more rural/survival focused main series. I suppose it had a bit of it with The Commonwealth but not on the scale of the CRM.

One criticism I have though is that - for unknown reasons - some of the acting (from minor characters) is slightly ropey . Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira are great of course. And Terry O'Quinn is always good. I mean the character essentially is "if Locke from Lost was a military leader" but he plays that character very well .

[Soldier Boy]

I've also watched Dead City (Maggie and Negan) and was less convinced, and I think it's because... Is Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) OK health wise? He's looking a bit frail or something and while he still plays the character well, it's just hard to buy him as a tough character/fighter which clearly he's meant to be. Like with the Daryl season you buy it because - if anything - over the years Norman Reedus has gone from quite skinny to being quite solidly built. So you can buy into it when he's kicking in heads left and right. But Negan looks like he'd fall over in a strong wind these days so I find myself thinking, he'd just not realistically last long out there .

I'm watching The Devil's Plan.

The first couple of games have been brutal, but really fun though.

I stopped watching the Negan/Maggie one after a couple of episodes. I don't like the 2 of them together and I don't get why the writers are always pushing that narrative.

The Daryl spin off was by far the best. Him as a character and the total change of scenery helped.

The Rick/Michonne one is OK, the lovey dovey bit is a bit.....forced and unnecessary I think though and Ricks accent is terrible and very distracting

Yeah what happened to Rick's accent?? . I struggled with it more at first. Though to be fair you can rationalise it as... he's been with the CRM for nearly a decade at this point, so his accent is quite likely to have changed a bit from the heavier accent he had before.

As for the lovey doviness... ... my only real criticism is how unrealistic it was that they were randomly stopping to kiss in the midst of fighting for their lives. Like literally snogging as a building was falling down around them.

And also...

There was a scene with a certain camera angle... from Michonne's perspective... with Rick above her looking down like ... and we were lay in bed watching it on the laptop and I can only describe the effect as being shagged by Rick Grimes in VR. I properly guffawed and said to my wife, "I feel like he's on top of me "

[edit] I had to go and find it.... ...
