Just watched the first two episodes of the first season last night, so definitely worth sticki g with then?

 

Theres a new contemporary version of War of the Worlds on Fox. Excellent but it gives the wife nightmares.

 

Not that absolute tripe that was on BBC a few months ago?

 

Got an absolute hammering from most of the newspaper review sites, but I enjoyed it. Watched it all in one sitting.
Currently watching Ozark and Tiger King.
If you want to watch something mad, try "Don't f**k with cats" - absolutely bonkers!

 

Tiger King is absolutely mental. It’s got absolutely everything. Good, bad, mad and sad. I’ve never seen anything like it.

 

Haha no. This is set today Gabriel Byrne is most famous cast member. Half here and half in France. A bit minimalist and no massive effects apart from.....i won't spoil it but im enjoying it. The wife hates it

 

On a ligher easy watching note I'm also enjoying Bulletproof.....a sort of cockney version of Bad Boys

 

Ah good. What's it called, and where can I find it?

The Beeb one was so bad, I didn't even follow it to the end. It made the Tom Cruise film look like an Oscar winner (its actually not a bad version really). It's funny, because a few weeks before the BBC version came out, I'd just finished re-reading the book, and then listening to the radio show on youtube - both fantastic and chilling. I hate it when something gets adapted, and it ends up being terrible (and in this case, it was all to do with being extremely woke, but I won't get into that). Similar thing happened with the Doctor Sleep film. Didn't really like the adapation and as usual there's glaring parts of the book missing.

I'm currently reading The Day of the Triffids (notice there's a theme going on here!), and can't remember a good adaption of that other than the one I used to be really scared of as a kid in the early 80s. Suprised it not been made (ruined) into a Hollywood movie by now.

 

Its called War of the Worlds and its on Fox. I remember the original Day of the Triffids film. As a kid it terrifiedme almost as much as the Childcatcher from Chitty chitty Ban Bang

 

Finished all of Sunderland’s documentary second season on Netflix. Well worth a watch.

Tried homeland and can’t get into it at all. Not sure why.

Now started newsroom on sky box sets. Good so far

 

Watched mad max fury road (yes I was bored) and hostiles over last few days. Hostiles is brilliant

 

I am the same with Peaky blinders. I don’t know if it’s because everyone says it’s so good and I am late to it and feel like I should be really into it. But I dunno. The story doesn’t really appeal to me and I find it all looks a bit low budget?

 

I’ve previously watched the first series 1 and 2 of Ozark, but I’m currently rewatching them to make series 3 easy to follow. Still a great watch the second time round.

 

We are rewatching Outnumbered. Daughter loves it and I'm enjoying it again.

I'm watching quite a few music documentaries on YouTube.

 

I saw Knives Out the other day. Massively underwhelming, I thought.
Daniel Craig's attempt at a southern states accent was embarrassing and grated on me all the way through. Like when he played the lead male role in the Hollywood version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in an English voice when everyone else was speaking in a Scandinavian accent. Why do they keep shoehorning him into roles he is unsuitable for?

 

It really is good. Loved both seasons and just works. All good characters.

 

The new Tom Segura stand up routine on Netflix is funny.

 

Watching that Tiger King that people keep going on about, watched 3 episodes very meh so far don’t get the hype. But halfway through so I’ll finish it off, as there’s little else to do.

Did you watch "Viera & Keane, best of enemies" last night on ITV? It's been on before I think, but didn't catch it the first time around. Very very interesting, and great to see mutual respect by them both for each other. I can see they just see the current game as an absolute watered down of the game they used to play. I was thinking, how they would have coped (and others of the same era) with VAR.

Sex Education. Couldn't get into it, found it a bit childish and the acting wooden. I am starting to think I have a short attention span! Have you all seen "Making of a murderer"? Again, starts of a bit slow, but boooooooom - truly gripping. And also "Don't f**k with cats" - give that a watch. Totally unreal!
