ANyone watched the series 'The End of the Fucking World'? Sounds like it could be good.
Yeah, good watch. A modern JD Salinger type story. Some very good black humour to keep the subject matter and story from slipping into the morose.
Well paced and only as long as it needed to be.
-
@crucial yeah I'm about halfway through...dark, quirky and humorous but quite enjoying it.
Got one ep of the latest Peaky Blinders to go, fuck Tom Hardy is awesome in this! Old Little Finger is still a sneaky slimy Cnut in this too.
Not sold on Adrien Brody's NY mafia type, too stereotypical, although I guess that's the era where the stereotype came from?

Anyone still watching Vikings? Makes the battle scenes in Game of Thrones look like a game of hopscotch.
Fucken whatever Nepia, were there Dragons, Zombies, Giants and White Walkers involved?
Jog on.
Thankfully no - the boring stuff (e.g. the fantasy stuff) this season has been confined to Floki and the Iceland adventure so it's been easy to avoid.

Excuse my hostility. It's understandable though, GOT isn't on again til 2019.

I like Floki , I want to see how the Iceland thing pans out .
Favourite Floki quote
“ can you keep a secret Floki?”
“ heehee ...no” -

I'm over it. Could quite easily wait that long again. Much better stuff on Netflix and Prime.

@jegga Floki has never been on his meds, but a number of other characters this season seem to be off them as well.
They best not be killing Lagertha at any point though, lest they find another hot strong female lead, if all else fails, we can claim sexism!
-
@taniwharugby how many Skarsgårds and Saarsgads are they acting atm? They seem to be everywhere

That's why you should be watching Vikings!
@jegga I don't mind Floki (his religious stuff gets a bit OTT sometimes though) and I'm interested to see how it pans out - also, if they go to Greenland as well
-
@nepia where is his 'land of the gods' that he is now?

I thought he was back on Iceland? Do you think that maybe they went of course and are now in Greenland? Actually, they must be in Iceland, not white enough and too many geysers/hot pools for Greenland I'd guess.
-
@nepia yeah not sure, just guessing that it was either Greenland or Iceland they were on, seems the same island as first time though.
-
False Flag - Israeli series, 5 seemingly everyday people wake up to find they are the suspects in a kidnapping of an overseas official. Apparently loosely based on the assassination of a senior Hamas official in Dubai.
Really good, if you're in the mood for sub-titles.

As if you need them.

The episode when Floki first arrived in the "land of the gods", and to a lesser extent - the return... I'm sure involved a heap of sponsorship from the Iceland Tourism Board.
Seemed a little excessive in the panning and sweeping shots of landscape, hot pools, waterfalls/foss, etc. -
Finished Peaky Blinders and End of the fucking world last night.
Peaky blinders...Assume that means the end, I guess it tied up loose ends, killed one of the better characters. A couple of things went differently to how I expected.
EOTFW, compelling little series, with eps at 20mins each, easy to get through the 8 ep season. Yarra Greyjoy stars in it, although unsurprisingly as a different character.

And a random appearance by Super Hans from Peep Show.
Ending leaves open the opportunity for a second series. Maybe.
