Finished S2 of White Lotus yesterday. Excellent stuff once again. Fuck me, Sicily looks incredible. Looking forward to S3.

Season 3 has been great so far. Bit more of a slow burn than previous seasons.


Out of sheer masochism and against my better judgement I watched the first episode of Mobland and the minute the subs notified me of Fontaines DC were doing the theme I really should have quit
*Pierce Brosnan attempting a
"country" accent but sounding like a Welshman with a speech impediment
*Ritchie using AI for scripts (again)
*Mirren still stuck in her Parish accent from 1923
*Tom Hardy even more bloated from the roids
*Paddy Considine think about his mortgage probably.

Shite!

I think all the seasons are slow burns, it's just that by the final episodes (of S1 and S2 anyway) they get so full-on you tend to forget. Looking forward to catching up on S3 tonight anyway.

We also decided finally to start Peaky Blinders last night.

I only saw the trailer for Mobland last night, had the same thought about Brosnan's Oirish/Welsh accent. It looks like awful shite, so bad it's just bad. Trying to cash in on Gangs Of London's popularity, and seems squarely aimed at the Yank audience. Off it can fuck.

Apparently it was originally a prequel series for Ray Donovan, but was rewritten as whatever it is now.

I gave up on that halfway through season 3. Is it worth going back to. Found it lost it's way big time.

I hear S3 is very disappointing. Seems the location is more important than the storyline.

I gave up on  episode 1. Using modern music in period pieces is an instant no for me.

I loved Peaky Blinders.
All of it. I'm looking forward to the film or season they make . Definitely worth going back to if you've given up on it.

I lost interest 2 episodes into the second series. I may go back to it eventually but I'm in no rush.

2 episodes I lasted and just didn't like anything about it even though I know many a lad says it's great

I watched it last night, and while the cast is good it isn't amazing so far. I'll give it a few episodes. I doubt it will be as good as The Gentleman. I quite liked that

The Gentleman movie was good fun, but the series was abysmal.
Literally did a "compose a Guy Ritchie-esque scene" as an AI prompt and commissioned the series.

But Yanks will eat terrible Brit gangster stuff up like McDonalds. That Sexy Beast prequel show was another example. Absolute scour!

Aye the film was good craic. Especially Hugh Grant. Tv show was dogshit.

Anyone watching Paradise? I thought it was gonna be a run of the mill political thriller, which is fine with me, but it's much more. I thought it was great and got better as it went on.

Yeah watched it, enjoyed it for the most part, one dull episode in there but also one absolutely cracking one too. Thought Julianne Nicholson as Sinatra was far and away the most interesting character.
