Tv Shows & Mini Series (Part 2)

Transcendental.

Series 5 of Strike on Rte 2 on Tuesday evenings. I think it’s a bit of a hidden gem. Great storylines and great performances from Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger.

The Sympathizer was dark and whacky till the end :clap:

I fucking love that show for many, many reasons

I get on to a pal of mine in that trade and tell him ‘youve got to watch this, its fucking spot on’

Yeah, yeah , ill get to it.

Year later- “you fucking idiot, you still havent watched it. It should be pre-requisite viewing for future staff and mandatory for current”

“Shut up lionel, told you id get to it”

Fast forward a little bit more:

Hell of a show, brings to light whats happening kitchens all over the globe every single day.

Anyone who has been in that industry, they can relate. Show snaps that the food only gets there off the back of the characters and life dramas involved along the way- passion, commitment and need for a wage are just as meanigful as any of the other ingredients

Just finished season 2 of Blue Lights. A very good show.

What other series would it compare to?

Have you watched The Responder - Martin Freeman in the lead as a Police officer in Liverpool. Think each season has only 6 episodes… It’s decent enough lad

Yeah, it’s a bit Responderish, storyline’s are very strong and acting is generally top notch.

It won’t take over my TV.

You hate good TV shows like The Last of Us and Fallout?

Yea, science fiction is a thing of the past for me…

Its very good. Interesting twist too that sets it up nicely for rhe second season

There is no plans for a second season. It was a limited series.
I thought it was a little disappointing. Good idea, strong cast, etc. but the overall piece wasn’t top notch. Would agree that it was a good finish though.

It kind of resonated with me on a number of fronts which is probably why i was more fond of it than others. Really hit a nerve with some of the suject matter.

Pity there isnt a second season as had it all set up nocely to get a more exhaustive view of her side of things which i was looking forward to
