Yes it is quite interesting. The episode on cannabis was good. I had no idea that the legal industry was so wrapped up in red tape that the illegal industry is still thriving in the US.lilyw wrote: Fri Jul 31, 2020 8:34 pm The Business of Drugs on Netflix is fascinating. The main presenter is irritating but it is genuinely informative.
I genuinely had no idea that Mombasa is now a major world heroin transshipment centre or that most of the world's meth is manufactured by the rebel militias in Myanmar (almost equal to the official total exports from Myanmar).
This and the complete and utter lack of MILF'y type school staff. Am disappoint.Gurudoright wrote: Mon Aug 03, 2020 8:02 am‘tsek wrote: Fri Jul 31, 2020 9:34 am Anyone follow Last Chance U?

I agree that this year is a bit flat. I’m not sure whether it is the fact that the coach is not an egotistical maniac like the last two from East Miss and Independent. That and the footballers are a bit boring compared to previous seasons
I recently re-read the entire series, bought the half dozen or so books I was missing 2nd hand.CM11 wrote: Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:46 am I've started listening to some of the books on audible so am currently immersed in the world and that image makes me very sad indeed.
It's got Carcer and Keel in it as well...CM11 wrote: Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:58 am https://bleedingcool.com/tv/the-watch-d ... -released/
Absolutely Raggs. Just so sad. They seem to be using the plot of Guards! Guards! but with characters who hadn't joined yet. Sybill is probably the worst in all this.

Basically hoping for views by using the fame of discworld, but unless it turns out to be absolutely amazing, it just looks like whoever put it together needs to be shot.
Very Dukes of Hazzard, but I watched them all.Ymx wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2020 8:54 pm How did I miss Sons of Anarchy?? An easy watch, a bit tough guy and bullets generally never hit them, but it’s a great entertaining series.
Oh and some better news.
The boys season 2 about to start on Friday.
It's farking excellent. Really well done and bonus Kelly MacdonaldGumboot wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2020 9:28 pm I recently binged an 8-part series called Giri/Haji and really enjoyed it. It's a crime family drama set in Tokyo and London. Highly recommended.
Yep. Must admit I wasn't expecting the contemporary dance number in the last episode - wtf?!mat the expat wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 2:37 amIt's farking excellent.

That was a nice touch as well. Top notch production all round.
Cheers. Just watched first few minutes. It certainly doesn’t take long to get started.Gumboot wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2020 9:28 pm I recently binged an 8-part series called Giri/Haji and really enjoyed it. It's a crime family drama set in Tokyo and London. Highly recommended.
Really? I thought it was poor. Then again, I've never been that impressed by it. Passable fluff at best.stemoc wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:20 am new season of lucifer is very good finished umbrella academy as well, it was good too, cursed last month, some netflix shows are pretty good..

yup, thumbs up from me also ; the mother in law character was excellent and the Yakuza head guy's daughter was very hot indeed.Gumboot wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2020 2:59 amYep.

I expected nothing and I've still been let down.sockwithaticket wrote: Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:17 am Neither new nor best, but an official cast image for The Watch has dropped.
I happily forget that this show exists until news pops up.
Angua looks like a werepuppy rather than a werewolf, Cheery's not a dwarf, Carrot's a regular sized human, while both he and Vimes are dressed like they belong in the present day rather than Discworld and Sybil is neither overwight nor middle aged (to say nothing of the ridiculousness of her being a vigilante).
With Cheery's changes and Sybil becoming more photogenic, it feels like the creators have a problem with women.

For me it got stronger again, but never reached previous heights.Ali Cadoo wrote: Fri Sep 04, 2020 2:04 am Whoever said that Vikings is good up until season 5 wasn't kidding. I was prepared to swallow them being able to learn new languages in 5 minutes flat.... I was even prepared to overlook them rowing like phalidomide children... but Season 5 episode 1's approach to plot-setting based on which actors wanted to come back for another 6 months of being caked in mud and filth just took the bloody biscuit.
