Britannia series 2 - all I can say is strange, very strange.

Too weird for me, didn't seem to be much about the Romans but a lot about Druids or something. I also got annoyed at the bloke and the girl who were on the road to somewhere or other for some reason and just thought that was a weak copy of The Hound and Arya. Plus as someone said, the more Mackenzie Crook is made up to look like someone else, the more he looks like Mackenzie Crook.

That's a fair call - I notice in the programme guides they have given up trying to label it beyond a "historical fantasy" -whatever that means. They are concentrating on the Druids a lot - that easy for the writers as there is not much truly known about the druids. The actress who plays "Cait' though is pretty good though.

Just finished watching the second series of The Sinner. I've enjoyed both series - they are very watchable, well acted and scripted. Bill Pullman is a good actor too.

The Witcher. [image]https://media.aintitcool.com/media/uploads/2019/prometheus/the_witcher_banner.jpg[/image] I like it, and it is very faithful both to the books and the videogames. After two episodes I'm intrigued. However, right now is (IMHO, of course) a good fantasy show. It still lacks that "je ne sais quoi" that elevated Game of Thrones to cult status almost immediately (before crashing and burning in the finale). Time will tell.

A friend of mine is similarly "Witcher obsessed": he played the TW3 two times, read all the books and watched all the episodes in a couple of days. I'm now officially curious to discover what all the brouhaha is about. [8D]

I watched an interesting documentary on the making of the wonderful Hamilton musical. Hamilton: One Shot to Broadway is well worth a peek if you like the show. Lin Manuel Miranda - clever guy.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/6AB7D33AD757439C977DAAB08CCCA962.jpg[/image]

"Cromwell's Head" -a documentary about the travails of the Lord Protector's remains after his death. Not really seasonal viewing but appealing for that reason. It also examines the changing views of Cromwell's legacy in the time from his death to the current day.

Dr Who Series 12 Episode 1 airs this evening. Also, just started my 30 days free subscription to BritBox. They have just taken delivery of all the classic series of Dr Who. That's 600+ episodes of Whovian goodness which I haven't seen for a very, very long time. Noticed they also have Lambs of God on BritBox. This intrigues me so I will give it a watch but has anyone seen this series? Best wishes, Steve

Must say the BBC's version of Dracula is far better than their version of War of the Worlds, I mean its completly bonkers but enjoyably bonkers.

Jonathan Pollard -> RE: What program/film/documentary are you watching now? (1/1/2020 10:55:06 PM)
Speaking of the BBC, I watched a very thought provoking documentary about the BBC, "Incontrovertible." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5UyynjxAyw In February 2013 the documentary maker Tony Rooke contested the BBC licence fee in court under Article 3, Section 15 of the Terrorism Act 2000 on the basis that the BBC were complicit in the 9/11 cover-up and had deliberately misled the public in their broadcasting. Tony was given the opportunity to demonstrate to the judge that the BBC had quite deliberately lied to the British public about the events of that day, in particular their 'Conspiracy Files' programme. The fact that the BBC had foreknowledge and had reported on the collapse of WTC7 20 minutes before it happened formed the basis for his case that the licence was not appropriate. Tony was not fined and was allowed to walk away on a conditional discharge.

Why do you keep posting about 9/11 and related issues? That is modern day politics and will get this long-time thread locked. There are plenty of places 9/11 can be debated - but this forum is not one of them. Can I respectfully ask you to stop doing that. Thank-you.

Yes bonkers - a little slow in places too, but then a few light-hearted moments (the geezer that plays Dracula is at his best the few times his delivery is pseudo-camp). Will stay with this one.

well that shifted from wierd and watchable (episode #1), to utterly confusing and not very good (episode #2). seems they are trying too hard to be clever?

quote: ORIGINAL: loki100 well that shifted from wierd and watchable (episode #1), to utterly confusing and not very good (episode #2). seems they are trying too hard to be clever? warspite1 I feared the worst when I saw your comment - one of the reasons I stopped watching Doctor Who was the ever increasing, overly-complicated, unfathomable and frankly ludicrous plots (the final series of Sherlock was heading that way too). As you say, it was I think a case of the script writers trying (and failing) to be oh so clever and patting themselves on the back for their incredible cleverness, while forgetting there is an audience out there that wants to be entertained. But I've just watched the latest episode of Dracula and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. The very last scene was of course a twist that may or not be a twist too far and could break the series, but I found episode 2 excellent value. The only thing I found confusing (given that final scene) was that I didn't know where the Chess playing scene was taking place (and thus when in the story timeline). But I understand that it was happening on the Demeter so that makes sense. I'm looking forward to episode 3 (with the caveat that scene 3 might have been a pre-cursor for a major let down - but I hope not).

Also from the BBC I am watching The Trial of Christine Keeler. So far so... okay I think. I'm finding the flashbacks confusing and would prefer a chronological sequence. It's an interesting take on the Profumo Affair though. The series is shown from Keeler's perspective. Christine Keeler (Sophie Cookson) and Mandy Rice-Davies (Ellie Bamber) [image]local://upfiles/28156/E69F7B17312B40ECA3415F760E6D0ACE.jpg[/image]
