Finished White Lines...Was a lot of fun. IMO a second season will ruin it. Based on the ending I guess we'll see.

I thought it was a really good gripping show until the final episode. I was really disappointed with the outcome and would hope there is no second season though I think they probably will do. There are still things unresolved.

the wife loves it...i think she's on her 2nd viewing.  but she loves everything british royalty. i'm the complete opposite so i won't watch 1 second of that show. 

You should, well executed and goes into the less than perfect world of the royals.

Just binged Poldark, BBC produced, a Masterpiece theatre type deal. I enjoyed although it got cheezey sometimes

Sounds a lot like my wife - she has become something of a TV Anglophile in her old age

I loved it.not for everyone but was definitely for me.  I really hope they don't ruin it with a second season.

Anyone seen the Crown and have any reviews?  I've heard good things, but the life of Queen Elizabeth is not something I'm dying to see.  

Wife watched it first - I avoided it since I never really followed or cared too much about the Royal Family.  She kept saying I'd like it and I eventually gave it a shot.  It's very well done, I like history stuff in general and it sort of follows British and world events thru Queen Elizabeth's eyes.  Interesting to see some of the "behind the curtain" stuff.  The lack of gratuitous nudity and gun play is a bit disappointing, but overall it was worth the time.

Loved the Crown.  Very well done.  Now watching any documentary like House of Windsor and any Diana show.  Yes, I'm also obsessed with British royalty.

Yesterday I watched The Dirt (Motley Crue), Clive Davis the soundtrack of your life, and a shorter show on Robert Johnson.  All pretty good if you're a music fan.

Not as good as the first 2.  But if you're already hooked it's good enough to keep you on the train.

13 Reasons Why is going waaaaaaay downhill season 4. Like more than even you would expect... but it's simple enough to play on my iPad next to me while I "work" from home. While not a Friday.... Monday's have been slow for me and my last outgoing email on Friday was 8:55am... I've only had to send 4 emails today so this will help pass the afternoon I hope

Finished season 4 of The Last Kingdom

  Hide contents

Brida is just annoying now. She's angry for stupid reasons IMO and seems to forget the hardships that Uhtred has had to deal with all this time. He's been a slave as well and had been betrayed many times and has lost pretty much every woman he's loved. She was with the guy who had a hand in killing Ragnar and is mad at Uhtred. Also the scene with her not coughing or anything from the smoke while everyone else is was lame

I thought it was funny they tried to make the queen mother more appealing after she's been a complete **** for 3 seasons

I liked the new villain but him and Uhtreds daughter falling for each other at the end was a bit much. He didn't last long. I guess they'll have Brida as the enemy for season 5

There was that woman that was killed in the village that had the necklace of thors hammer. I assumed she was one of Uhtreds daughters but I don't think it was ever mentioned who she was and why she had the necklace.

Surprised they didn't have Uhtred banging a bunch of women. It was only the one this season lol

 

I finally caught up!

Spoiler

I wish they had killed Brida off shortly after she left Uhtred to join the Danes. I haven't cared for her story since they parted ways. I am hoping there is a big payoff in the end to keep her around. She is really annoying.

Elswith had a moment of clarity early in the series, in the marshes, when she let Uhtred and the pagan queen save her sick baby Edward. Then she softened her views near the end of her life. It seems to be one of the themes, evil characters gaining some redemption at the end of their life. They did the same thing to Ethelred.

Many of the Danes wear a Thor's hammer necklace. I don't read into it any more than that.

Uhtred is an old man now even though he appears the same. The story moved ahead a decade, his children are teenagers. I don't think he'll be sleeping around so often anymore. Next season will be interesting; Uhtred balancing his alliance with Wessex while his daughter is living with Danes.

I think he gave his necklace of thors hammer to one of his children so that's why I thought that.

His daughter being with that one Dane was creepy. Don't know the age gap but it has to be huge. I was also surprised he let the relationship happen. Always pegged him for an overprotective father

Same. We fought 2 wars so we could stop caring who the king and queen of England are. My wife can't get enough of that stuff though.

It's an absolute train wreck. Like laughably bad. It's also funny how many people they turn gay in this show. Its like 2/3 of the school by the end.

Season 2 was kind of meh, and then I lost interest in season 3 by 2 episodes in. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

It's gotten pretty unrealistic. You're not missing much from an entertainment standpoint, but from storyline there's like 3-4 more deaths and people randomly turning gay. That's about it.

There's a lot of turning gay through 4 or 5 episodes... wherever I'm at now

Watched Jeffery Epstein: Filthy Rich over the weekend.  4 episodes.  Not exactly breaking news, but jeez that guy was a major scuzz ball.  What is it with the South Florida rich guys and their constant need for massages?!?!?
