Post by: wakychapmans on August 08, 2018, 04:38:56 PM
bloody brilliant if you like a bit of sci-fact style sci fi. (based on a series of books)
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Original books written by Douglas Adams (yes... of Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy fame). But UNLIKE the rather crap movie that was made of the Hitchhikers'. The TV series of Dirk Gently's is spot on to the vibe of the books.
Star Trek Discovery.
ok... fair warning... wife and I are 'trek tragics. But this is actually good.
Altered Carbon
(not for the kiddies this one) think Game of Thrones level morals, death and nudity, in a sci fi setting...

Peaky Blinders on Foxtel, great story, great soundtrack.
Watched that on FTA ages ago, and yes pretty good. Just started watching Taboo on SBS, looks like it might be good also.

I watched the us version of shameless first, now I can't get into the UK version, no matter how hard I try. Everyone says the uk version is better, I will never know thoughI first seen the UK version years ago, but only ever seen upto about the 5th season. I only watched all the US version yearly this year - first season of that was real hard to watch as it was just an Americanized version of the same first season of the original, but I found it took off on its own much better from the 2nd season. I do like the UK Frank version however - the acting is more convincing of a drunk

Same with "The Office" too. The Pommy version is way better than Yank version.
you know that the yanks were planning a US remake of Faulty Towers at one stage.
Manuel would have been Mexican.
But they thought that one character wasn't needed in their version of the show...
yep... you guessed it.
They were planning on a remake of Faulty Towers without...
Basil Faulty.

Outback Truckers. A bit over dramatised but still good. Probably made for the American audience.got a mate that is part of the crew that films that show, he was telling me the truck drivers don’t get paid for being on the show and do it for the notoriety only....that really surprised me. He was saying how hard it is to film drivers like Yogi that sit on the speed limit all the time, as they can’t slow the drivers down at all who are trying to make a living, and have to try and get infront of them all the time to find the next scene to film.

Is anyone watching Les Norton? Now, it's not going to win any acting awards but I'm getting a bit of a laugh. It's set in the 80's or 90's so a bit of retro cars and stuff and there are a few names in it. Ian Roberts pops up occasionally playing a bouncer. Back in the 90's my mum used to buy the books to read and then pass them on to me. Beats watching reality TV anyway.
If ya haven't been reading the books first, i think some will be lost on some of it.
Last Sunday night (3rd show) was the best so far.
Never easy to take a series of books and make a series of 1 hour shows.

So far Jessica Jones is the only one that has referenced Avengers events, with a couple of people mentioning about aliens wreaking the city and one comment about “the big green guy”. ;)

We didn’t realize the sequence until we’d watched 2 series of Iron Fist and 1 series of Luke Cage. Now we’re trying to get them in order.Yeah, there are some really subtle references... Took me ages to source all the series, but I can at least watch them while I'm working now, with my tablet beside me ...

Trapped is a six part series about a group of Australian airmen stranded on Japanese-occupied Timor during the Second World War. Using
diaries of the airmen, wartime records and interviews with survivors, Trapped brings to life one of the greatest stories of survival and escape
of the Pacific War.
A true story of leadership, courage, mateship, and, at times, cruelty and violence that played out on a remote tropical
island during one of history’s bloodiest conflicts.

This show is a definate 10/10. The storyline is the worst ever written, the acting is the worst ever acted, the camera work is ordinary and drags this shocker down as it doesn't keep the same scale of bad going. Problem is it is that bad I have to watch the lot. A must see. You will never watch another show as full of crap, even the credits are crap. This is a must see. You'll be like me and just have to see the next episode. But then again you just have to look at who's running the US and how that's going and the show could be based on real life.

Amazon Prime - Man in the High Castle a really interesting premise about what America would be like if the Axis powers had won WW2
Amazon Prime - Hanna Kind of like a female version of Jason Bourne
Netflix - The Order great if you like Supernatural stuff funny to see a bunch of werewolves in Uni utilizing beer pong as a decision tool weather to eat someone or not

Firefly - a space western. Bloody brilliant in every aspect. (not sure what streaming network it is on... we own the DVDs) Make sure that you watch the season before the "sequel" movie Serenity.

The haters will carry on about "electric bikes being charged with generators" and strictly speaking... they're correct. But they're weren't trying to say "oh aren't we all environmental and we're not using fossil fuels". It was more a case of... "let's be the first to try it, because someone has to try it"...

Exactly my thoughts. What they are doing on those bikes is something 99.99% of owners will never do. Most will go out for a 3 hour ride and then stick it back in the garage on charge until next weekend. The Rivan trucks look interesting as well

oh hell yes. Loved them. The latest from Rivian is that the latest prototypes will do 400 miles... off road. (643 klm)
Purnie Bore to Birdsville is 590. (I know this because I've pedalled it...) Mt Dare to Purnie is 70klm
they're getting bloody close to a crossing... though, pushing an e4wd for 27klm would be a biatch...

Ted Lasso - a US college football coach is hired to coach a UK soccer team. brilliant.
Mythic Quest - about an online game company. Hilarious.
Foundation - probably the most expansive sci-fi ever written. Apple have done a really good job adapting it.
Invasion - aliens invading the planet. Watched three episodes and still don't know what is going on... I like it.
Watched some Marvel on Disney+ too.
Loki - was truly brilliant. Hiddleston owns that role.
Wandavision - started slowly and then continued to build... can't wait to see where the lead character goes in the coming Marvel movies
Falcon and the Winter Soldier - spy and political story in the MCU. I loved it too. Nice to see the story will continue in the next Captain America movie too.
Can't wait now for Hawkeye due end of November.

A couple of good Australian drama's on IviewI watched Operation Buffalo when they first showed it in TV, and found it pretty good, but jumped around a lot.
Mystery Road
Operation Buffalo
I'm currently working my way through the Marvel TV Series in sequence with the movies, and they make a lot more sense than watching them standalone

There was a memorable series on the ABC called Aftertaste. It was only aired for 6 episodes, and wasn’t repeated on iVeiw due to being a tad raunchy perhaps?
A good watch this one, and it is on iView.

I lived in one of those traditional terraced houses when I was a student in Coventry. There was a big crack in my bedroom wall that you could see daylight through. I complained to the landlord but he just blamed “The Germans” while pointing to the missing two houses in the terrace opposite.

The RAAF married quarters at Laverton (Melbourne) suffered the same problem, but it was due to the clay soil they were built on. One of the trainees told me he didn't need an alarm clock, the sun shining through the crack in the wall in his bedroom, shone into his eyes and woke him up.

As I mentioned above I loved but I think I know what you mean. I can’t put my finger on it but it didn’t have a Hollywood feel about it or a major US TV series feel like NCIS or Criminal Minds type polish on it. I imagine budget and production has a lot to do with it though.

Can't let one of my dogs watch any show with dogs in it. I get this reaction at the TV.
The only dog I've had that watched TV as much as my current dog, Jack, was a Shepherd/Husky cross called Max. Both dogs used to attack the TV at times, but they got used to watching from the lounge. As soon as they got off the lounge, the channel was changed, or now just hit pause, til they got back on the lounge.

By far the best World War Two documentary, and I have seen many. Mostly actual footage, and a lot of it very confronting. I am astounded at just how much I still did not know about so many aspects of the war. It will not be appreciated, nor even believed, by many of our younger folk, but it should be compulsory viewing for every person on the planet.
