Tv Shows & Mini Series (Part 1)

Thoroughly enjoyable and engaging first episode.

That detective is going to be a serious character in it I’d say.

Brilliant TV…

Atlanta looks like it will be really good.

Look up rembert on twitter, he has two excellent profiles on Glover and his latest one is on Atlanta too.

Just finished it , very good show up until the last half hour, very rushed finish.

Thought The Night of was very good, only made better by the appearance of a Limerick jersey in a bar scene.

Another - old - recommendation, ‘And Then There Were None’, a BBC adaption of an Agatha Christie book.

The siege of Jadotsville coming to select cinemas and Netflix in the coming weeks, horrible OIRISH accents aside it could be good or utter shite time will tell.

What episode was that in?

Netflix documentary on Amanda Foxy Knoxy at end of September. She is in it, as is the boyfriend and the Italian prosecutor. Looks v good

What episode was that in?

No idea pal

The last one iirc

That looks like the Tir na Og’s pub beside MSG,operated by a limerick man

Or perhaps Old Town Bar on Union Square?

The Young Pope with Jude Law as the new Pope and Diane Keaton as a nun looks like it will be unreal. Coming to Sky Atlantic soon.

Not to be a total contrarian, but I’ve just finished ‘Stranger Things’ and I thought it was pretty average. All the characters are so derivative, all the romance so contrived, it all feels like it’s almost entirely pulled from elsewhere. Even the style that it gets so much praise for was pretty meh, ‘ooooh it’s gotta synth soundtrack’, big whoop. In the end it was ok and had it’s moments, but removed from the hype it’s really nothing special.

Agreed. All a bit meh

The plaudits it’s received is totally mad and unwarranted. I’ve seen even Forbes call it the best show of the year, others calling it the best first season ever.

Admittedly, it can be hard to watch something without expectation after reading all that.

There are no words for how bad that MacGyver remake is. Worse that you could have imagined. Its Vinnie Jones bad. Because he’s in it. Funny how bad they can make a show. The masochist in me will leave Lethal Weapon for another night.
