Helpful For those that are a fan of cop shows, the main actress is superb, the producer wrote line of duty and the writer of this show, was in line of duty. Good chance if you liked line of duty, you’ll like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35059 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 That thing about the Zodiac killer on Netflix is good. Not exactly one to cheer oneself up in the wake of this week like but worth it if you’re interested in the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good watch and pretty compelling circumstantial evidence. stopped by police, speeding away from murder scene with bloody knife on his passenger seat. “why have you got a bloodied knife”? ”Just killed a chicken in my car” ”No bother, off you go” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42358 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Wolf Hall. The Mirror and The Light. On BBC tonight at 9pm. Mrs F and I on a very rare occasion of us both looking forward to something. Mark Rylance is a fucking amazing actor, and Damian Lewis isn’t too shabby either. At the rate that the cheeky glasses of wine are going down following our win, I might be watching it on iPlayer, but hey-ho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35059 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Was just about to come on here to post about that. The first series was actually based on the first two books about Cromwell, not just Wolf Hall. So this will be the final series. The first one was fucking superb like. Rylance in particular. Honourable mention to the late Bernard Hill who was brilliant, not to mention hilarious, as the Duke of Norfolk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21563 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Last episode of the penguin. Fucking hell, that was grim. Best origin story ever. Farell would get an Oscar for this were it a film. Instead he puts in 6 times the work and will probably only get a Emmy. Such is life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a fan of copper shows at the best of times, but if it’s the same one, it was fucking atrocious Mrs. F. made me watch an episode - two blokes were accused of killing/kidnapping some Asian lass. Wasn’t them. Ray solved it through sheer determination and some terrible writing. At least I think that was what happened- it was hard to follow the story because of all the “ SHE’S AN ASIAN WOMAN COPPER!” bits that were shoehorned in every 30 seconds. 8.7 my hairy arse. DI Asian Copper walks into the interview room. The institutional racism fills the air and it’s hard to breathe. The accused mutters something about curry because of racism. DI Asian Copper’s body language changes in reaction, her eye twitches, perhaps there is a flash back of when she was racially abused as a child at school. She composes herself and batters the suspect with facts because DI Asian Copper may be many things, but she is NOT a stereotype who is defined by her ethnicity because this is a well written show that would NEVER pull that borderline intelligence insulting, offensive shit on our audiences. Is that close? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Joker film (first one). The Penguin is more a gangster series than anything to do with super heroes, albeit set in the dark fantastical city of Gotham. As for 3 hour films, I don't have the time any more, so I just do my own "serialisation", unless I'm lucky enough to get to the cinema.
