I’m assuming it must have something going for it given there are 10 series. The thing that annoys me about our household is the missus won’t do subtitles as she is half on her phone....basically rules out any brilliant Scandi Noir.... I was a fan of this show but didn’t pick it up until the later series. It finished up several years back. I’m currently enjoying watching the series again from the beginning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEN MISTER Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Finishes on Thursday, last runs of ‘ ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE’ - a rather disturbing look at the dumbing down of journalism under the stultifying influence of Corporate America. Could not be more timely and a sobering reminder to protect what remains of investigative journalism in this country. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCoder Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Has anyone watched the reality show "Alone"? I've seen series 1 & 2 and really enjoyed them. Not a usual reality show, as they need skills to be a contestant in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a massive step up from drama based 'survivor' et al. I think the couples/pairs season was the one I enjoyed most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped after Season 2, as it changes location mfrom Vancouver Island and wanted to have a break to lesson the comparison I would make it my head. I like that it is actually a challenge and need grit and skills there's not the usually personality issues with contestants plotting and fighting.

Ian McP Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Briarpatch looks fabulous and the larger than life "deep south" characters most amusing!

Ray H Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Finished up season 3 of Gomorah - really enjoying it. Season 4 coming soon. Now watching Stan Lee’s “Lucky Man” also pretty watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice trajectory of characters, with the turnover you expect in that type of workplace but the character changes from each series never upset continuity or quality. The writing and performances never disappointed. When the series ended they continued with a feature film.

hired goon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I watched the kiwi movie What We Do In The Shadows tonight. Very funny, and I think the TV series takes it up another level. —Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaky Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've been watching the fourth season of Fargo, which I felt was disjointed story wise by the time it got to episode 5 [ I suspect a break in production because of Covid might be the reason ], but has come along quite well after just watching episode 10. Chris Rock is a surprisingly good actor in his role. Can't wait to see how it ends next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfan Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm loving Season 4 of Gomorrah; it happens to feature Salvatore Esposito who also had a strong role in Fargo Season 4 which I finished watching the other day. Also juggling Season 8 of the fine French series Spiral. There's so much great viewing on SBS On Demand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBS has got to the point where it is better than Amazon prime or Disney and at no cost, simply brilliant. im looking to watch fortitude next I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a bit disjointed but the quality of cast, production etc... more than makes up for a tad weak plot points. Chris Rock really owned it and there were really no weaknesses in the cast or acting. They may have bitten off more than could possibly be chewed in the 10-11 episode Fargo format and the COVID disruption certainly had an impact. So far though no seasons can compare to Season 3 - largely due to David Thewlis wizardry and really clockwork plot. Still the 'Wizard of Oz' themed East/West episode 9 of Season 4 is among my fave (if not the fave) Fargo episode ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Departure. Avoid. Think advertising inclusivity meets Days Of Our Lives with someone trying to pack 37 side-stories in as well. Hideous. Low Winter Sun starts average but gets better, I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
