Slow Horses is magnificent and gets better and better

@Renton start it immediately 

Watched the first two seasons now. I think 2 was a slight improvement. Really enjoying it so far. Glad to hear it’s been renewed for another couple of seasons as I don’t think it’ll take me long to get through 3 & 4.

Dunno where to put this really but thought I'd drop it here. It's bascially a tech demo for AI graphics but is also somewhat poignant and sad for all trekkies. 

I know most on this board aren't massively fussed about games but honestly the level of graphical fidelity from tools like Unreal Engine 5 is incredible, every year it gets harder to distinguish reality from GGI graphics or deep fakes. As usual, this will be for good and bad.

Boybands Forever on the BBC is genuinely interesting. No, really.

Watched the Lucan documentary mentioned a few pages back. 
 

Firstly, poor bastard- adopted to then find out your bio mam was murdered by Lucan. 
 

No wonder the bloke is a bit messed up. 
 

 

The end left me more than a little frustrated. 
The argument that Neil put forward for it being Lucan was just as valid as the argument against, I thought, but, presumably since the old fella hasn’t been nicked, there’s more compelling proof to keep him at liberty. 
 

Surely DNA would settle the issue?

Higuita : The Way of the Scorpion

 

 

Finally got round to watching this. It was good.  

 

Though maybe not quite as good as Boybands Forever...

Say Nothing

 

True story of two sisters who were in the IRA and the disappearing of a mother of 10 in the Troubles

I thought it was superb, though I'm sure it's portrayal won't be uniformly popular

The performance of the actors who played the two young sisters were stunning. The actor who played Gerry Adams was unrecognisable from dumb Marco in the Responder

 

It seemed quite an honest account to me, I read somewhere it was shown as more of a class struggle than a religous one, not a point of view you see very often on British TV

 

I followed it straight away with "I Dolours" that interviews one of the protagonists

It’s complete nonsense. Gerry Adams was never in the IRA.
