That was a very good episode of alien

Only 1 episode to go

Whilst we wait for the next series of Slow Horses .. could I suggest maybe do yourselves a favour and revisit some of Gary Oldman’s early films and roles.

4 just had The Firm on again. Seen it a few times but its an Alan Clarke special. He was a brilliant filmmaker back in the day and left us far too soon. Oldman was and stiÄșl is a great actor, and btw Phil Davis and Lesley Manville too, who are excellent in that biopic of English Hooliganism and what it meant .. footbaÄșl was a sideshow basically. I myself saw it up close a few times

@tassiehammer I bet you might relate to this film (meaning you recognise the mayhem and chaos times?)

Can’t wait for Slow Horses. Apparently it was totally snubbed at the Emmy awards the other night.. me say wtaf. But I’m biased.

Why would the Yanks understand a SK spy drama.

Way to outside their range.

What a show

Pretty disappointing and anti climactic ending to alien earth

Great start to the season but then really fizzled out

And that’s the issue with so many programs these days.

That and the fact networks cancel shows after one season but then show left wide open.

Makes you not want to put the effort into watching them.

Several x 2

Black Rabbit, Jude Law, Jason Bateman, and a chick with the world’s largest forehead.

Chaotic from start to finish, with Bateman playing a classic “just can’t get a win” character, amongst a list of characters that are all, in one way or another, absolute pieces of ■■■■.

The dynamic between Law and Bateman is brilliant, the plot is very sound and the execution gritty and realistic.

Bateman essentially plays variation the same character in everything, but bloody hell he does a good job of it.

8/10

The team task in the latest taskmaster episode is an all timer. Brilliant idea for a task and absolute insanity when the teams were doing it

Agree with Dingus re Black Rabbit being much better than average. For the keen-eyed watch out for the various top notch directors who lend Bateman a hand, including Australian Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Nitram, Kelly Gang etc).

Absolute banger soundtrack.

That fontaines song must have been legislated for compulsory inclusion on all productions recently.

Chad Powers could be a chance for funniest show of the year, too early to tell. Plenty of giggles in the 2nd episode. Waterboy meets Ted Lasso.
