Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 There's been some great suggestions for what to watch on here but I quite often don't commit it to memory and then can't find the post. I thought a dedicated thread so I can find the bloody things might work. I heartily recommend Slow Horses for easy watching, it's a strong 8 out of 10. Gary Oldman is superb. About to watch 'The Menu' heard good things about it (89% on Rotten tomatoes) and have avoided reading anything about it that would spoil the plot so fingers crossed. What have you enjoyed or hated watching lately? ps if you're going to give away the plot then please out a spoiler alert warning first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Horses is a series (two so far but they're already going to do a third) and The Menu is a film with Ralph Fiennes who I always find an engaging actor to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Just been watching the new series of Vikings on Netflix, pretty formulaic and like the previous ones but easy wash over entertainment. For some inexplicable reason the Wife and I have been watching Blue Heelers on Freevee, Its a 90's Aussie Police drama which for all intents and purposes is low budget and awful but weirdly addictive. Bit like Neighbours with leather jackets and guns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tired old concept executed in a boring way. But I liked the start because I have a particular dislike of pretentious foodies and have had a couple of shit experiences in those places where it's all kings clothes. One was Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck at Bray where a friend was told theres no such things a something that tastes bad you basically have an under-developed palate. Some of it was so awful (the rancid pigeon blood is an experience I wish I could forget) and the gushing guests who didn't mean a word of it made me want to vom. With wine it was about £750 per head which definitely made me feel very sick. What a waste of money. Mr Slowly got up n walked out. The other is a place in Bristol, everyone raves about the tasting menu at 'Casamia'. I suppose Michelin starred restaurants attract knowall staff but honestly it was like eating in a library, absolute silence to demonstrate your deference to the food. Couldn't bear it. If theres no smiles and occasional chatter the food is IMO soured. Anyway the film took over half an hour to get started and even then just plateaued into boredom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a guy in that show that links it with The Wire, and I’ll just watch that again as it’s simply that good and worthy of multiple viewings. Also better than most current stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
