Favourite TV Series

I only got around to watching Sunday's episode last night. Wow the last 20 minutes of that was incredible viewing.

Point of order there are 3 episodes to go because they announced at the beginning of the series that it would be in 7 parts.

 

Thanks. I saw that on Disney+ too so will watch rebels first and then move on to those other prequels.

 

Spoiler

I felt it was a bit of a weak end for Cassie. Killed by a random hit and run driver? So a complete coincidence and nothing to do with anything. Would have been better if it wa case related. One of the bent coppers silencing her. It felt quite deflating and unsatisfactory and meant all the other background drama about her life was pointless.

 

Anyone watching "Wellington Paranormal" on Sky Comedy? Off beat but highly amusing in my opinion.

 

Yes agree.

 

agreed became very tedious , don’t understand 2 things

why didn’t Rick hit Negan with his baseball bat when he was given it, he always goes on about being prepared to die , should have twatted him and taken over.

why don’t they just take a ******* great big boat , sale it out to sea and live on it, when they need to come back to land just wear a suit of armour

 

Following this week's Line Of Duty episode, with 2 episodes remaining...

Do you think...

Spoiler: cliffhanger

Assuming they shot at each other...

(a) Both Fleming & Pilkington are dead?
(b) Just Fleming dead?
(c) Just Pilkington dead?
(d) Neither dead?

I think (c) is unlikely and (d) not at all likely as someone must die here; (a) seems most likely with Davidson having to pick up the pieces.

The other possibility is that in order to protect the OCG, Pilkington shot Davidson and Fleming shot Pilkington.

Another thing

Spoiler

I don't like that Carmichael character, she immediately pulled all surveillance AC-12 had on Davidson and Pilkington, plus prevented Arnott from finishing his conversation with Fleming. Obviously could be a curveball.

 

Or even head to an Island and render it zomboid free?

 

You forget one important point. They're American.

 

They actually addressed that on the spinoff show; the short of it is the sea and islands are no safer than anywhere else (zombie corpses washing up on shore), and introduce the additional enormous problem of finding supplies.

Stopped watching years ago though, it got well past its sell-by date.

 

This is why zombies are a bit **** to be frank. They can do anything it seems short of breaking into a run.

 

Didn't your parents read "The Tortoise and the Hare" to you? It's cautionary tale about zombie outbreaks!

 

Zombies. All that effing woooaaarrggh business. If you’ve got something to say come out with it.

 

Me too. Lining it up with my inexperience of Star Wars, Harry Potter and Nando’s.

 

I don't watch it, though Mrs Keighley does.

I have also never been to Nando's.

 

I did read the first HP but that was it.

I love Star Wars though.

 

It’s very entertaining and has steadily improved, the first series was pretty dreadful and badly acted. Over the course of the series there’s a weird blend of really strong, engaging performances from Vicky McClure (she’s a main character throughout), Stephen Graham and Keeley Hawes.... then there’s some really wooden acting that kind of takes you out of the moment.

Spoiler

e.g Ryan Pilkington, I’m starting to wonder if he was initially intended to play such a key roll in the last two series because the lad that plays him is so unconvincing

It’s like a British 24 basically.

On a similar note, what is with peoples’ obsession with Unforgotten at the minute? My partners been watching all of them, I half watched the series with Neil Morrissey and his lame middle aged pals. Dreary load of absolute crap.

 

Steve Arnott can’t act either bless him. Looks and sounds like David Beckham’s little brother.

 

Well now I just want to see James Bond pay the troll toll...

 

Last night’s Line of Duty...

Spoiler: Hints of the Fast Show

The Spanish SWAT team were so unconvincing I honestly expected at any moment one of them would say ‘Chris Waddle’

 

Perhaps ‘dreary load of absolute crap’ was a tad harsh

I don’t mind a slow burner at all (Better Call Saul is one of my all time favourites!) but I just find the cold case thing really low stakes personally. Lots of convenient ‘gaffer we’ve just heard from a bystander that remembers an obscure detail from 40 years ago’

 

Spoiler

Eth eth eth eth James Nesbitt eth eth eth shootio

 

I've never watched Nandos but i go to star wars for a takeaway most weeks.

 

I like mine extra hoth.

 

Piri Dee Williams.

Nando’s Star Wars puns are hard.

 

Chicken X Wings

 

Whoosh! To all the above.

 

I've watched a bit of line of duty and I think it's fine, I don't really get the hype. To me it seems to be the Ed Sheeran or yawnmongers of TV shows. Is that fair?

Edit - I've never written Cold - play on here before and just noticed it gets autocorrected ha!
