Holden McGroin 9912 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Anyone deep into Silo 2 yet? im just about to start but haven’t heard good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'm up to date as of today. It's still quality. I've read the books though so am partly watching to see how they handle different bits from the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's good IMO close-ish to the books. American Primeval on Netflix, gritty western, it's rather good even if female lead is a fucking idiot. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9912 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I love a Western so that’s on my list. I started Slow Horses this week. I managed 1 episode as the mrs was only half watching it so might be a struggle to get that watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 9912 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Massively overhyped but I thought the storyline was good. The direction was poor and ending was naff. Edited January 11 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the books though so am partly watching to see how they handle different bits from the books. Personally I think it's dropped off. One of the story arcs has gone nowhere (I'm up to E7) and the other isn't really doing much S1 did. Feels very much to me this is being milked as so many of these things are. I got Prime so am watching S4 of the Boys. Meh, same thing. Loved it at first with it's perspective twist and the vile super hero sex and violence, but now the novelty has worn off I'm struggling to get through it. Mrs Rents refuses to watch Fall Out so I'll have to find time to watch that by myself on my lovely frame TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I can picture you standing in front of your frame TV cos it's too high on the wall, chin-strokingly admiring the work of art that is Ella Purnell. Re Silo, I would say it moves at a pace not dissimilar to the books, of which there's 3. Toonpack reckons there's gonna be a S3 and S4. There's still loads to get through yet so I think that makes sense - they couldn't do what's left in 10 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 We've just started the Lockerbie thing with Colin Firth. I'm only 15 minutes in, so at the minute it just feels like a big budget episode of Casualty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my old collegues was absolutely loaded because of compo his wife got from Lockerbie (think half her family were wiped out, but never really asked ). Always buying new cars, think he had 5 sports cars. Worked for pocket money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9912 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 fallout is my top series from 2024. Absolute class. And I never played the game but the nerds say it’s good too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Carry-On with Jason Bateman. Not bad, some of it far fetched but an easy watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine was on the Weardale Mountain Rescue team when it happened, they helped with the recovery of wreckage from Kielder Forest. Not just wreckage either, lots of luggage and personal items, “bits” , and a lad with him found a shoe with the foot still in it. Grim. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a bit of Mormon “not happy” going around about it, but (trying to avoid spoilers) that “incident” did actually happen and they did indeed do it. Brigham Young also apparently accurately portrayed, they say not, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
