Toonpack 10243 Posted Friday at 06:17 Share Posted Friday at 06:17 Black Doves - Slow Horses wannabe and nowhere near. The whole assasin (who was a good character) and his boyfriend soap opera was tedious filler also a senior Govt ministers wife pissing off at all hours without scruntiny, preposterous. 5/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final christmas scenes complete with snow in London was the last straw. Forget the preposterous nature of the plot and characters - this hasn't happened in nearly 50 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46729 Posted Friday at 12:04 Share Posted Friday at 12:04 It was decent entertainment for over the Christmas tbf. And if you think Slow Horses is realistic compared to this then I don't know what to tell you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think Slow Horses is realistic compared to this then I don't know what to tell you. Where was it said either was realistic ? Both are outrageously "far fetched" but Doves was even less credible at the underpinning story level. I also didn't say it wasn't entertaining, it just wasn't great entertainment, whereas Slow Horses is great entertainment (with some brilliant performances, Oldman is terrific).

spongebob toonpants 4180 Posted Friday at 14:48 Share Posted Friday at 14:48 Black Doves was trash. Wishaw was completely unconvincing, and the only reason Knightly could pull of being an cold blooded spy is because her acting range doesn't include being able to show emotion Jackal was still harmless hokum but much better acted and much more fun but the finale was just bizarre almost as if they changed everything so thet could have another season. Do we not have spoiler tags btw, just had to delete A load of plot stuff Slow Horses is a completely different ball park. Tightly plotted, great acting and fantastic dialogue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46729 Posted Friday at 17:51 Share Posted Friday at 17:51 I've got the Bullseye Christmas Special on. The standard of darts was fucking crap. I'm sure they were better than this on the original one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 10243 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Carry On (no relation to Sid James and the crew)- Netflix. Complete and utter garbage, more ridiculous as the minutes drag by, even the Mrs. Whose choice it was is muttering in disbelief. Not even worthy of rating (probaby 8/10 on the Gemmill entertainment scale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46729 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago It was obvious what you were gonna get with that film before you even turned it on. But turn it on, you did. I'm sorry that another piece of powder puff entertainment didn't meet your exacting "could this happen in real life" standards. It was fine. For what it was, and for the very clear expectations you were meant to have for it, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46729 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago No I don't think so. Nowhere in your post does it state that your wife turned it on, Barry AbNorman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
