Mildly cynical as only two of the original line up are still in the band. That said, a mate saw them recently and said they were great so will be tuning in.

Sorry Wayne I have a prior engagement tonight :sunglasses:

Worth going to have a look at Great Falls on the Potomac if you get the chance.

Meh/10 - s’ok if nothing better’s on.

Rivals

A boardroom and bedroom look at the TV industry in the 80s. A Jilly Cooper book and think she is a producer as well.

Obvious hints of Sky Vs the established TV stations. Lots of shagging, 80s music and cars.

Worth it just to watch Tenant and others hamming it up. I think it’s ratings are up at around 80 percent, fuck knows why, it ain’t that good. Watchable, but it hardly troubles the grey matter in any way, shape or form.

We watched it tonight, it’s brilliantly terrible. :grinning:

We’ve watched 6 of the 8 so far. Entertaining if not taxing although the storyline veers in a more serious direction in episode 5. Enjoying the sound track. They’ve also captured the look of the time fairly well.

Yep, enjoying it for a change, the visual production is great on this and its easy to watch fun.

It does look as if they had a lot of fun making it aswell.

Watched ‘Madame Web’ last night…

It makes a decent stab at Halle Berry’s ‘Catwoman’s’ crown as direst capeshit spinoff in all of history :open_mouth:

Dated, cheap, lazy, formulaic, boring, exceptionally plot-free and appallingly acted… It’s at least as fucking shit as you’ve read, probably more so. The bottle of Port Sam and I numbed ourselves with took some of the pain…

It clearly lines up sequels. They just as clearly won’t happen - buried and forgotten in Hollywood’s landfill is all it deserves…

Perhaps less dark than the first two and possibly a little try hard on the humor front. Excellent in its requirement for only two loosely working brain cells to enjoy pre nap.
7.3 / 10

Countdown. The efforts that the production team have gone to are quite something…Kitsch, yet entertaining! :man_mage: :woman_vampire:
Absolutely marvellous, and worth a watch for RR alone! :fire:

Worth the wait, enjoying this series as much as the first.

Enys Men is on Film4 and C4 streaming at 11.15 tonight (Thursday).

The film itself might be a bit marmite, but strong recommend for the hauntology-adjacent soundtrack.
