A bit unfair. He's got by far the greatest range of any of the kids from the Harry Potter film and he's been in some great films like Escape From Pretoria or Swiss Army Man where he's definitely not been trying to do just the same old thing.

Fair point, I’ve only seen him in a few things and he always seems to be trying something new. He’s got decent comic timing I’ll give him that.

Netflix.

Hollywood

(mini series 2020)

 

A fully enjoyable what if, could have, should have happened piece of Truth, fiction, made up almost believable story.

Brilliantly filmed and acted with characters you will either love or hate (and the Cars are to die for -lol)

Total nonsense that has you questioning your self as to what was real, what is based on fact and did what you are watching really happen.

some violence, lots of spicy bits and a story line that works well.

The last couple of episodes had some great comedy lines that warmed you even further into the story.

 

Fully Enjoyable best happy feeling thing we've watched for a long time.

 

If I was marking it out of 10 I'd give it a 23

 

Enjoy.

 

Highly Recommended

FRUED 

 

Strange one this.

receiving poor reviews, but each to his own,

Personally me and her that should be obeyed enjoyed the 8 parts.

Ignoring any resemblance to Sigmund Freud's real life (hopefully) the 'Crime, Horror, Supernatural nature of the series worked as any enjoyable tantalising watchable thriller should do.

Great filming, Excellent period Clothing, Architecture and vehicles  (I just love those horse drawn Handsome cabs - but I'd put a large engine up front and Wide wheels out back but that's the Mechanic in me for yer)

Well acted with great casting especially Georg Friedrich as Alfred Kiss the Hard case Copper (Police man).

There is some very dodgy dubbing / subtitles throughout that must have lost something in translation and almost laughable in places but generally the plot isn't too effected by the mistakes.

So basically ignore the name Sigmund Freud and watch it as you would any other eight part Supernatural series I'm sure you'll enjoy it, we did

HTSBO thought it was not dissimilar to 'the Alienist' which I never thought of while watching but as usual thinking about it she could well be right (which she usually is).

 

Enjoy 8+/10

After life. Funny in some places, desperately sad in others with a few heartwarming moments sparingly added here and there. Short, but that’s not a bad thing.

'Dispatches from elsewhere.'

Well if you like Kooky - Strange - offbeat - sometimes baffling and the down right Quirky, boy is this the series for you.

Me & HTSBO both enjoyed this10 parter, the ending could have been a little better (simpler) but at least you get a insight into the directors reasons for wanting to make the series.

Don't be tempted to read about 'Dispatches from elsewhere' before or during watching it if possible.

Follow each character as they make their way through various adventures and enjoy -

because none of this could possibly be true - could it ????? 

Intrigued - you will be.

Not sure if others have seen this, as I only downloaded due to being extremely bored- so just got through season one.

 

It's not new, so there are a numbers of seasons available, think up to 4.

 

First season is good though I read the others go up a notch, so will consider.

 

There are some flaws and I also think too much flesh- a lot of unnecessary sex scenes, that to be honest, don't need to be so focused on!

 

Anyway the story revolves around an ex con who takes on the ID of a murdered man- who was  'soon to be the next Banshee sheriff'

It is the best show I've ever watched - and I wasn't that keen on the first few episodes. 2 and 3 are the best, 4 wanders a bit but a satisfying ending.

I’ve just finished We Hunt Together.

 

Really liked it, it’s quite dark, well acted and the characters worked well together.

Didnt like how it ended but that’s just me.

Cheers tinfoilhat.

 

Agree, season 2 and (so far) 3 are better than the first. 

 

I'm going to look to wrap it all up this week so season 4 is in the pipeline.

 

By the way, Anthony Starr is the fella playing HomeLander in The Boys.

 

That is one worth watching- only one season for now.

Yeah, I liked that one. 

 

In other news, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on C4 from the beginning. If you haven't watched it, watch it.
