^ I didn't make it all the way through Season 1

My sister has recommended the following British crime drama/thriller thingies. Haven't watched them yet, but if you like that ilk, perchance you may peruse them. Except Baldrick. Baldrick just moan now and save yourself the time.

Ellis
Clean Sweep
DI Ray
Before I Kill You

Before I Kill You

or until I kill you

Until I Kill You (working title Delia Balmer) is a British true crime miniseries written by Nick Stevens and directed by Julia Ford.

Thanks for all your links good to have some entertainment laid up alone for another week until boss returns from Tokio

Except Baldrick

I have always been exceptional

And red election was good

That much is true.

Yes I think that's what she means.

Before I Kill You

Clean Sweep & Before (Until) I Kill You I have not watched but apparently Anna Maxwell Martin, a regular on UK TV screens, puts in an excellent performance in Until I Kill You.
Ellis is a new series. Two 90 minute episodes, each a complete story, have so far hit the screens. Pretty formulaic, certainly watchable, but unexceptional.
DI Ray featuring a female South Asian detective has just finished Season 2. Again pretty formulaic. I thought Season 1 was OK, but Season 2 better. Again watchable but unexceptional. Each season of 6 episodes features 1 storyline. Watchable but unexceptional

[Happy As Larry]

While on the subject of "crime drama/thriller thingies", two more to consider.

The Gone - a 10 episode joint RTE/NZ effort based in New Zealand. A Irish cop and a NZ look for an Irish couple who have gone missing in rural NZ. As the series progresses there are links to historic murders and Irish gangs in Dublin.
Season 1 was OK 6.5/10 but again nothing new. Season 2 is halfway through - OK so far

A Remarkable Place to Die - A NZ series where a successful Sydney based homicide detective returns to her hometown after the death of her father and sister and solves crimes. Each 90 minute episode is self contained with what looks like an underlying storyline running through the whole series (The apparent suicide of her sister) Again relatively predictable based on the one episode that I have watched (a second is out there), but for me is saved by the spectacular scenery in and around Queenstown

If you want to see what $120 million, extreme vanity and a splattering of senility gets you, Megalopolis is now available for streaming.

Just a word of warning, my friend and I watched it in the cinema and at the end turned to each and almost simultaneously uttered "What the fuck was that?!".

[misskit]

Hard to believe the mess that is Megalopolis! How could it go so wrong? The actors were outstanding but that disjointed story was for the birds. It was really discombobulated. I can’t even say it was beautiful.

[misskit]

Maybe the film will get put back together in the future to make more sense.

[harrybarracuda]

I thought Bad Monkey was just a terrible excuse for Vince Vaughan to try his deadpan "wit".

Failed miserably.

Eric, ran out of steam after two episodes.

Day of the Jackal I'm going to try and hold on to binge the second half - first half was top notch.

[Happy As Larry]

I thought Bad Monkey was just a terrible excuse for Vince Vaughan to try his deadpan "wit".

I thought the same.
I should have just read the book

I thought "Cross" was just OK
It might have been my copy but they could have done with turning on a light or two.

I thought "Blue Lights" a police procedural set in Belfast was good. So far 2 seasons have been released and I understand that seasons three and four are on their way

Everyone must see The Substance.

Demi Moore pays an aging actress who starts a black market treatment for aging with some totally whacked-out results. Horror. Gory. Laugh out loud insane.

You might hate it, you might love it as I did, but you MUST see it!

Erm... Thanks for that Misskit!

Quite unique.

[Phuketrichard]

i enjoyed all of them , hence reason i posted them :-)
not everybody's taste is the same

[cyrille]

Quite unique.

A decent movie with Demi Moore in, apart from 'A Few Good Men' when her involvement was mercifully limited?

[Happy As Larry]

alll worth the times

I have just finished binge watching 'Say Nothing'.
I agree with Phuketrichard - well worth watching

[Joe 90]

Great rewatch or if you've not seen it before....


The 51st state, free on yt

[Joe 90]

A brill movie for US and UK relations!

Seriously check it out!

[cyrille]

Don't all rush at once, now.

[harrybarracuda]

Don't all rush at once, now.

Is it a chick flick or one for the Under-12s?

[Joe 90]

Don't all rush at once, now.

Here you go Ciz....


New style of Alan Partridge series coming soon!


The new BBC One series "And Did Those Feet... With Alan Partridge" is currently filming in the South of England. This six-part documentary, featuring Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, will explore mental wellness.


In the series, Alan returns to Norfolk after a year in Saudi Arabia, facing questions about himself and the country. Alan aims to understand what's missing in his life and why the nation is struggling, declaring: "I'm Alan Partridge, and I'm not OK."


Filming began last week, and the series promises to deliver Alan's unique take on personal and national well-being.


Will be interesting to see how this turns out �� #comedyofbritain #britishcomedy

I must have been a remake as my Mrs watched about 10 mins, said she knew the story and went to sleep.

I asked her what happened in the morning and she recounted it pretty much exactly.

[dirk diggler]

A decent movie with Demi Moore in

Speaking of Demi Moore, I'll be watching this one next
