War of the worlds (2019)
Bit of a odd one for me. It did drag in a lot of parts, but it did make me want to keep watching till the end.
To much of a cliffhanger at the end of the season, feel there should have been one more episode.
Maybe isolation is getting to me.
Which one, I think there have been two productions in the last 6 months?

Finished both current seasons of 'Happy Valley' and I would definitely recommend it. Similar, I guess, to some of the other BBC shows everyone is loving these days like Bodyguard and Line of Duty, it's just well written, well acted, reasonably fast paced TV. I think Ozark will be next...

I finished another re-watch of Band of Brothers yesterday. Such a brilliant series, really good directed, filmed and the acting is superb as well. Some quite big names are involved who does really good instead of half done performances as it happens at times.
Started a couple of episodes of The Pacific afterwards, and its better than I remembered it (only seen it once though). Looking forward to watch the rest of it.

Glow - I have mixed feelings about it.
I don't see anything interesting about the show, the basic story is ok (starting a wrestling company and bit about each start) its something different but when they cant think of any ideas **** and sex seam to the main focus. the wrestling is not very good and they have a lot of stupid jokes either I dont understand them or they are not very funny.
the best part is the actors all of them are good
but for some reason im still watching it
IMO option if they took this idea and did something a little more interesting like
option 1 same idea but with males, starting a generic wrestling company in the 80s but they would need to be able to act and wrestle and taking ideas from what has happened in real companies.
option 2 build a show on the life of a great wrestler over the years the good and the bad my choice steve austin/hulk hogan/rick flair/stig/bret hart or jake the snake/under taker/mick foley.
option 3 show about the real companys like WWE, WCW or one of the other NWA TNA ROH

Working my way through Sons of Anarchy.
Been meaning to watch it for a while. It’s pretty good.

So when you say 'took this idea', you mean to make a show related to wrestling. That seems to be the only link between your ideas and Glow...
Has this been run through Google translate and back or something?
in basic yes.So when you say 'took this idea', you mean to make a show related to wrestling. That seems to be the only link between your ideas and Glow...
The wresting part was the main reason I started watching.
Glow has nothing on the real thing, Wrestling has some of the craziest **** you will ever hear the good and the bad.
just do a random search and you will understand what I mean.

No, I know wrestling. Well, US Pro wrestling. I don't think this show had any intention of being a hardcore wrestling show. That's kinda my point I guess You're totally changing the show to make it a show you want.

Since last Friday I’ve seen series 6 of Bosch and rewatched series 1 to 4. Now on the second episode of series 5. I think I’m stuck to the sofa.
So you know how far they are from the real thing and the differenceNo, I know wrestling. Well, US Pro wrestling. I don't think this show had any intention of being a hardcore wrestling show. That's kinda my point I guess
Thats my point they are wasting some great ideas, if they wanted to make a show about a wrestling startup at least focus a little more on that, if I did not see the ring every now and then its just a B grade drama

The only series on men's wrestling I want to see is the one that portrays McMahon as the complete scumbag he actually is.
I dont think hes a scum bag, hes a business man even less in the 80s and 90s.
IMO hes never really done anything to think of him as a real scumbag.
Soldato
But this is my point, no, that's just a different show. This is a little extreme, but it's a bit like saying, "Breaking Bad would have been great if it was about a woman who found out she was going to die and wanted to be a singer, so she went on America's Got Talent and it followed her progress of trying to make it before the cancer got her." No, that's just you wanting a different show.
True but from the look of things they wanted to test the waters.
They seam to have a few other wrestling based shows planned.
A hulk hogan biopic by netfix -starting Chris hemsworth and hints Bradly cooper may also be in it as vince.
lucky for me
A Ric flar biopic produced by Dwayne Johnson is also in the works.
but both are movies

Most likely it was fried brain working after a 13 hour shift at work

Expanse season 2. Trying not to watch too much and get ahead of where I am with the books

A lot of UK Police drama can be uninspiring, but I agree that this is very, very good. Changed how I think of Sarah Lancashire completely; she's definitely not 'just that bird from Corrie' and therefore unlikely to be a big attraction.
