I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.
Good grief here we go, yet another dystopian TV drama. Yawn.
I still have no idea how they find the time, money and personnel to make all these TV series.
Presumably because there’s plenty of demand for them and the Last of Us is adapted from a computer game so it has a strong fan base already out there.
HBO rarely miss and I expect this will be a big hit but appreciate its not for everyone. Fortunately we live in a day and age with no shortage of options on tv, streaming etc.
I did wonder whilst watching last night why apocalyptic tv shows, films etc have such a draw. I suppose there’s something innately exciting about the whole world falling apart.
I just watched Cabinet of Curiosities on Netfix which was superb. The one with Robocop as a 70's guru felt like it was made in 1979! Great stuff I enjoyed all 10 episodes.
Betaal is good fun too, easy going anglo-indian Zombie story where 1857 British zombie soldiers go on a rampage. It's very entertaining with some decent one liners.
That was one of the best 11 minute video I have watched in a long time thanks for posting. Sadly it came along a week too late as I had already suffered through the 4 episodes of The Witcher Blood Origin and it was pretty bad . Not a happy ending for anyone then

Usually Video Game adaptions are pretty awful but having played the game parts 1 and 2 and thought it was probably the GOAT as far as Playstation 3 and 4 were concerned, this pilot episode was just as fantastic. As you say HBO have the budget that can attract the actors and the sets to do it justice.
The way they've subtlety created some of the same Video game movie sequences into the TV series has been pretty masterful.
Not watched TLOU yet. I did play through the first game and found it to be overly long and a bit of a slog. Gave up on TLOU2 after about five hours because I hated it. It was so boring.
Hopefully the TV show speeds things up a bit and gets to the point.
I need to get back to Kevin Can F**k Himself. S1 was pretty good. Didn't return to Physical though. I didn't get a sense that it needed a second season at all.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

Yep, video game adaptations rarely work but I really liked the first episode. The reviews for the series are very good so I’m looking forward to seeing it pan at.
"Ancient Worlds," the BBC series about the birth of civilisation, is being repeated. I watched the original series and have read the book too.
I enjoyed the book and ancient history is one of my passions but I forgot just how bewitching the TV series was, it is utterly fascinating and the music which accompanies it is very atmospheric.
It's not a series of dates and events, it looks at how civilisation evolved by studying the development of agriculture, industry, language and culture.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
Much like the games, it doesn't respect your time at all. It's slow. And the girl playing Ellie looks 'off.' I think it's the fact that she doesn't seem to blink at all. She's one dimensionally obnoxious.
Also, much like all zombie(ish) things. Not enough zombie things too many human pricks.
But, it's okay. I'll stick with it for now. But not sure I'll make it to the end.
Opening credits were awful.

Recently watched 3 films of Amazon that I really liked. All quite well know so not really under the radar stuff....
The Banshees Of Inisherin, really liked it. Dark humour, beatiful remote Irish location.
Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, if you like daft Nicolas Cage films then you'll love this one in which he plays himself and sends himself up very well.
Everything Everywhere All At Once, multidimensional sci fi
A few others that have already been mentioned but I really loved them....
If you like horror but not corny formulaic slasher horror then Cabinet Of Curiosities on Netflix is great. Each episode has no relation to the others so you can watch them in any order. I especially liked episodes 1 2 3 4 7 and 8.
The Forgotten Battle (WW2 film) and All Quiet On The Western Front (WW1 film) both on Netflix both really good.
But the best thing I've seen recently is Japanese timetravelling sci-fi comedy Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes. Keep an eye out for it on Film4, they show it from time to time.
Happy Valley on the BBC at the moment is fantastic drama - well worth a look if you have dismissed as some sort of happy horse drama. Last part next week and unbelievably tense.
The actor playing the young lad Ryan has been a total revelation.
