…yeah, I had seen that there was a miniseries, it’s such a devastating and distressing true story…I don’t have Disney atm but the cast is outstanding…I can’t say it’ll be a good watch, but…you know… it’s a story that deserves to be told…

fun fact

Spoiler:

Art became a host after having done the show, however currently it is hosted by Rik van de Westelaken, also after he done the show, Rik also hosts our eurovision preshow anyway in same tv studio as where he hosts The Mole final, our esc preshow is similar to a preshow for olympics or world cup or euro championships

Interesting facts.

And well done on getting so many Moles correct.

Here's my rankings of Season 18's contestants:

Spoiler:

1. Ruben
2. Jan
3. Simone
4. Loes
5. Olcay
6. Stine
7. Emilio
8. Bella
9. Ron
10. Jean-Marc

I didn't really dislike anyone again really in this line-up, although I do feel like Jean-Marc should've let Ron back in the game if he was in such a bad head space with the Show.

Under The Bridge episode 1


proper storytelling, some names of characters have been edited though rather than some their real names



also Riley Keough with dark hair looks good too on her



Matt Craven playing Lily Gladstone's character her father and captain of the police (Craven whom is known for his role on NCIS as Clayton Jarvis and been in many films)

[Nicky91]

but tbh if that is indeed true that Reena stole a phonebook and started spreading fake news/lies about one of the girls, having aids or being untrustworthy


i kinda understand why they wanted revenge, but this doesn't justify murdering her (normal teen girls would prank someone as a form of revenge, TP'ing someone's home etc, but in this case these girls grew up without a father, in troubled families, they were all very mentally unstable)

I have finished watching the second Season of the American version of The Mole on Netflix.

Spoiler:

Thank God it weren't Ryan as The Mole like so many people were predicting.

I thought that Deanna was going to be The Mole until she obviously got eliminated.

My rankings for this season's contestants:

1. Q
2. Michael
3. Sean
4. Muna
5. Neesh
6. Deanna
7. Hannah - She weren't always the most pleasant contestant lol, but she offered some good TV in fairness, and her Showmance with Tony was good villainy early on to the rest of the group.
8. Melissa
9. Tony
10. Jennifer
11. Andy
12. Ryan - No offense to Ryan, but the edit didn't really do much with her, so it was hard to form a proper opinion of her.

Some slight niggles with the editing, but overall I would say that Netflix made a marked improvement over their first year imo, and I really did like most of the contestants taking part.

There wasn't really a truly monstrous contestant in the line-up imo, although Tony could sometimes be a dick, I still that he was harmless overall.

episode 3 (Under The Bridge)


those flashback scenes all Reena wanted was just to make some friends and some of those girls really were soooo mean to her, especially Jo

Spoiler:

in real life = Nicole Cook

& Kelly, the only one who was genuine friendly to her was Dusty

Spoiler:

in real life = Missy

the chemistry between Riley Keough/Lily Gladstone is simply phenomenal as well



Hulu is really on slayage mode recently with superb productions




also

Spoiler:

killing a girl for her steve madden boots that's low, the actress who plays Kelly such a strong new acting talent she is

[ChristmasNeeve]

Presumed Innocent with Jake Gyllenhaal, 1 more episode left, it's a really good show

[Christmas Dynamo]

Im rewatching Him and Her

I was trying to watch the scream TV series , I've made it through 5 episodes. But I feel like ditching it .

Spoiler:

I find a few characters so damn irritating & slimy that they make it unwatchable for me, I'm honestly waiting and hoping ghostface kills Jake , Will & Brooke . But going by IMDB it seems these 3 morons are in alot of episodes

[Pigeon Lady]

…I just watched Time/season 2….it really is an outstanding drama series, I watched the first season quite a while ago and this one was equally as riveting ……I loved that they set this season in a female prison to contrast it completely from the first one…

[Santa Goth]

I've watched half of the Season of Shogun.

Overall I'm liking the Show, but to the people comparing the Show quality wise to GOT seriously need to rewatch the first 5 episodes of GOT Season 1 (for a fair comparison,) and GOT is in a completely different league imo.

Shogun tbf I think does most things really well, but there are a few issues that I have with the Show.

1. John Blackthorne is essentially just a token in the programme after the first couple of episodes, once all of the basic setup is established his only real function left in the Show is to just be Mariko's love interest, and demographically tick the white representation box.

2. Episode 5 had some OTT scenes between Blackthorne and Mariko's Husband (who btw has some really cartoonish writing imo,) which for the kind of programme that Shogun is meant to be, it makes the Show look extra daft compared to say... An ABC Channel Show doing this kind of content back in the day.

And 3. I have mentioned this to do with Assassin's Creed: Shadows and I will say it here because Shogun is ironically proving my point for me, but forcing non-Japanese characters into Feudal Japan stories on a bigger scale than what really happened does cause problems in the writing, plus it's the fact that the West always finds a way of taking Japanese works or time periods in general and just goes out of their way to un-Japanese the work.

Tbf to Shogun they're not the worst example of it that I've ever seen, but they are still quite guilty of it imo.

The stuff that I do like about Shogun is the Politics, some of the characters, some of the locations are striking, and some of the dialogue has actual grit to it, which tbh I had lost faith in the Americans on even knowing what gritty dialogue even was anymore, so it's nice to see that Shogun rightfully has that kind of dialogue.

Oh and I had checked the pilot out to Evil, it was okay, but didn't hook me with anything to make me want to carry on watching it.

I would say that the TV Show isn't as good as the Films imo.

I would say though that Season 1 is the weakest Season in my view, I think that MTV got better with the formula as it went along.

What were they thinking with the mask aswell , it looks so rubbish. Apparently before Wes Craven died ....he himself said MTV should have kept the mask the same as the movie.

Oh the mask in the Movies is much better designed imo.

Unfortunately MTV made a few early amateurish mistakes that were hard to rectify with some of the audiences that they lost along the way.

So, so funny.

Adore that show. So endelessly quotable. I think my favourite episode is The Airport where Jerry and Elaine are separated on the plane, with Jerry going into the luxurious first class and Elaine being forced into hellish coach lol. And George and Kramer are getting into hijinks while waiting at the airport to pick them up.

I loved the way Kramer used to enter and slide through Jerry’s doorway .


I used to do that when it was feasible

Always thought it was strange that Britain preferred Friends to Seinfeld, given how we make such a big deal over us supposedly preferring darker, more cynical humour. And Seinfeld is unarguably a darker, more cynical show than Friends could ever be. My theory has always been that a large part of the appeal of Friends, that almost always goes unsaid, is that people liked to live vicariously through the romantic exploits of this group of physically attractive young people who are living in and around a beautfiful studio apartment in New York. That's my half-assed cope of an explanation. Seinfeld is way more grubby and realistic.

I'm not British but that's not the reason I like/dislike these shows, for me it's about the characters and if I can warm to them at all and I just never could with the Seinfeld lot. Father Ted was my personal favourite of the 90's shows

[Ray.]

Yes I can see that from your user title. My favourite joke from that show is:

Mrs Doyle: I think you'll enjoy what we're having for dinner, Father. You do like pheasant, don't you?

Ted: Pheasant! God, I love pheasant!

Mrs Doyle: Well that's a little clue. The thing you'll be eating likes pheasant as well!

Either that or this:

…with Friends, I think…(…for me, anyway…)…and why it was a series that travelled across the oceans and reached so many countries and so many different people of different ages etc…?…is because in our own friendship groups…?….there was a character to relate to, obviously not in an identical way but I know Phoebes and I know Monica’s and I know Rachel’s and Joeys etc…so we’re always drawn to relatable characters of our own lives, also…
