Robert Wise's 1963's The Haunting is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and this new mini series is just as fantastic. The character development is deep and ongoing throughout the entire series, and Timothy Hutton's performance is great. He delivers so much subtle nuance in this role, it's refreshing to watch. That's next on our list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the sound effects it's about as scary as Andy Pandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the unique thing about it that drew me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Has anyone else watched Homeland? I'm watching it now; currently in season 4 in Islamabad. Season 4 is like a totally different show than 1-3. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I also recently watched Grace & Frankie and really enjoyed that!

Enjoy those first three seasons - they were spectacular. The series goes down hill after that. I'll still watch the last season to complete the series.

Virginia Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks JTM and Stryder1978! I also enjoyed 24 but I think I like Homeland better; the pace of 24 was almost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 If you get Netflix, give "Mindhunter" a shot. Only one season so far, but it was great! Series about the beginning of the FBI's serial killer section and how they developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I've just started "The Bureau"; the French spy series (watching in French w/subtitles, as my French is very rusty). Very good so far. Edited March 12, 2019 by Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just watched Ricky Gervais's new comedy Afterlife. Hilariously dark. Also we just finished all 3 seasons of Fargo. Magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we finished the series, we took a look at Derek - another series by Ricky. @chillumpuffer - Derek is just as good. Funny as fuck and really interesting characters.

We loved Extras and of course the office. 2 other hilarious box sets to watch, assuming you haven't already done it are: Lead Balloon: Jack Dee's wonderful TV "star" Rick Spleen is fantastic. So dry and deadpan funny. But us being northerners the best ever is: Early Doors. Set in a Manchester Pub, it just oozes class and so funny. Pisses on the Royal Family, written by local lad to me Craig Cash, who also stars and wrote Early Doors Edited March 13, 2019 by chillumpuffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Derek (and After Life), Gervais is not afraid to tackle tough subjects with wit, humor, warmth, and truth. That is what I love about the man.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ill miss "The Affair". The episodes with Ruth Wilson. I still want to know what happened to her? Why she left? She says she cannot talk about it? Strange. Well it tells you that they paid her for her silence. But these things usually get out eventually. If anyone learns of this, please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 ok peeps, here it is - the BEST take on Dracula (vampires) I've seen. True to the original idea with a cracking good original take on it. Really, really good. I was very nervous at one stage that they had completely derailed it - but it holds good until the end for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Binge it on Netflix. It only took me and the cheese and kisses two nights to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
