Its a bizarre comedy whodunnit set in a fictional town in Tasmania. I found it funny , it wont be everyones cup of tea though and there is a lot of swearing but I found it funny rather than offensive. I wasn’t sure at first but glad I kept going with it. Deadloch is bonkers 😂 Yet I watched it all and (think) I enjoyed it! It’s one of those that you’ll either hate or sort of enjoy. Just finished Baby Reindeer and enjoyed that. Based on a true story of a comedian that ends up being stalked by someone he was kind to. Written by and main character acted by the guy who was the victim. Worth a watch.

Fairbairn Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Watched 3 episodes (of 7) of Baby Reindeer on Netflix last night. It's based on the true story of a Scottish comedian who was stalked by a woman down in London. The guy it's based on plays the lead role as a version of himself and it's been brilliant if very uncomfortable in places so far. The actress the plays the stalker is unbelievably good in it. Everything I've read has said episode 4 is one of the most uncomfortable episodes of any TV show in years so looking forward to that at lunch time! *Alexa, show me an example of someone not reading the post above.....🙄 Edited April 16 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it a watch when back from holiday. Finished The Gentlemen. Meh. Was a bit better than I thought as I am not a Guy Ritchie fan . Watchable but for me also instantly forgettable.

I thought The Gentlemen started quite well bit soon got a bit boring and think I'd lost track of what was happening by the end. I'd probably watch a second season if there was one but won't lose any sleep if there isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some decent individual performances throughout , and it was quite funny at times , the episode with the travelling community was good. But like you say , wouldn’t lose any sleep if it wasnt renewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundsKeeper Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Was really disappointed with the Gentleman. It went down hill after the chicken dance scene. Was rooting for the brother to killed as he was so annoying. Load of pooh, series 2 - no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it ended as strongly as it started but still very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just finished watching The Wire. Watched it many years ago. A superb drama. Enjoying watching Ripley at the moment and the guy playing the lead role is very unlikeable so it probably excellent acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wire is my favourite show by a distance I've probably watched it through at least 3, maybe 4 times now. Might be due a another go soon.

slasher Posted Sunday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:26 PM I thought Baby Reindeer was tremendous, hilarious and disturbing in equal measure. This Town on iplayer is decent set in 1980’s Coventry, the episodes are looong tho, unnecessarily so sometimes. Gonna give Ripley a try next 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted Sunday at 10:35 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:35 PM I was really looking forward to This Town, butI am at episode 5 and it’s been OK but not brilliant. Maybe my expectations were too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted Monday at 10:14 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:14 AM I’m noticing recently that a lot of shows are suffering from second season syndrome! I really enjoyed Vigil when it came out but the second season was abysmal. Likewise I quite enjoyed the first season of Trigger Point but finished the second last night and it was really, really bad. If those second seasons had been pitched as the first there’s no way either of those shows are getting commissioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady who played the stalker was superb. Almost felt sorry for her. I found it hard to feel sorry for the victim but then I think he represents a lot of victims in terms of damaged they get when they are abused continuously .

Thought parts in a couple of episodes dragged a bit (the cleaning of the stairs for example) but good overall. Think I've still only seen one other person mention Slow Horses. That's well worth a watch, decent soundtrack too. Edited Monday at 03:25 PM by Bobster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip 100%, a bit like the battered wife who can’t help but see the good in the husband. It was beautifully crafted and put together, I’d be really surprised if it doesn’t win a lot of awards as it tackles a few subjects that tend to fly under the radar mostly. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
