Citadel on Prime, Decent start.

 

[spongebob59]

The first episode of The Diplomat, Netflix. A little cliched Britishness and Americanness but promising…

Perfect tea time TV

Citadel on Prime, Decent start.

Watched the first two episodes last night. Cartoony in a good way. Any idea how many episodes there are?

Diplomat on Netflix... It had some much promise. Could have gone in so many different ways. But it chose to be very superficial and with impossible ideas (US ambassador slipping into the UK foreign sec's office unnoticed).. Throw in the cliche references to Russian, Brexit, Ukraine, and single handedly the US Ambassador turns into Jason Borne...

I think Brits do drama better than the yanks.

Just in the middle of it. See what you mean but no spoilers please.

Watched the new Luther - Fallen Sun on Netflix... though some bits are far fetched, overall it is a typical Luther flick. it is fairly gritty, but not as gritty as the BBC series.

Finished The Night Agent, was ok, dragged a little in the middle for me but the ending was solid.

Silo, AppleTV, excellent start.

 

[PNWokingham]

Blue Lights on iPlayer was very good. Hopefully they will carry on with a new series

Episode 2

Succession, Tailgate party, a truly classic episode

Finished The Night Agent, was ok, dragged a little in the middle for me but the ending was solid.

We've watched 2 episodes and I'm struggling a bit. It feels like the 24 formula but without the compulsion to immediately start the next episode as soon as you've finished the last.
It's strange that I can watch Marvel and Star Wars spin-offs without feeling the need to question the gaping holes in plot and reality but watching something set in the here and now I keep finding myself muttering, "Well that's just stupid."

Enjoying the new series of Guilt on bbc also has a great soundtrack running through the series one episode had Faithhealer by Alex Harvey which was perfect for the scene.

Ted Lasso was disappointing again, not sure where they’re taking it.

Ted Lasso was disappointing again, not sure where they’re taking it.

We are 3/4 of the way through series 2. We have just had 2 trippy episodes. Does S3 do more of the same? Do we are cut our losses after S2 and leave it there?

Ted Lasso was disappointing again, not sure where they’re taking it.

I read online that one of the recent episodes was written by former page 3 girl Keeley Hazell. Seems like a wild move.

It’s still good but the team dynamic has turned into a joke and it seems to be virtue signalling every episode now.
