    @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.

    I just watched the first episode of Peaky Blinders S4 and it appears to have gotten stupid now.
    Why would Michael go all the way to the farm without a) a weapon, and b) any men. As soon as the stupid letters arrived they would have been calling up bodyguards.

    Also, I don't think I can put up with 5 episodes of Adrien Brody.

    What annoyed me is why would the hit team waste John, wound Michael then just drive off.

    You're in the middle of nowhere boys finish the job. The cops are going to be racing round the bend any minute now.

    Dark- a German sci-fi mystery kind of thing on Netflix.
    Once you get used to the awful voice dubbing itโ€™s an interesting, if complicated, watch. A lot of intertwined characters over different time periods.

    @crucial I saw a review on IMDB that had mentioned the poor audio dubbing

    Sounds good though, maybe I'll just learn German or get a English subs...I'll see how I feel ๐Ÿ™‚

    Vikings Finale..more questions than answers. Serious amounts of crazy in this season, some great battles, but seriously how the fuck do you tell who you are fighting, seemed people on both sides with same shields and they all look the same, or maybe to Vikings they are easily differentiated haha

    :::

    Best not be killing off Lagertha, otherwise I am done, DONE!

    Also cant let Floki die either, with Rollo rarely sighted, him and Lagertha are the only ones from the original series?

    Anywhoo, not sure why Rollo would give his troops to Ivor to fight Lagertha & Bjorn (even if he wants Bjorn spared) I thought Rollo was in love with Lagertha?

    So him cruising into Kattekat is a good thing for Lagerhta and Bjorn, or now in trouble with troops on both sides of them?

    Agree with your first sentence in the spoiler 100%.

    Also, not content with out action scene-ing GoT this week they attempted to our fantasy them as well.

    Didn't know it was the end of the season (mid season break like last season I assume?) so a bit gutted it wont be on next week.

    ::: The whole Rollo helping Ivar is a bit weird. He was much closer to Bjorn and Fitsek only has a relationship with him because of Bjorn.

    I don't care about Floki, but want them to keep Bjorn and Lagertha around. :::

    Peaky Blinders - what the hell happened between S3 and S4? Did they hire the Walking Dead writers on mass? Midway through S4 and the writing is idiotic and the acting by Brody is even worse than I expected it would be.

    Lets go back to where we grew up they'll never get us there amongst our people - yet they all just stroll in.

    As for Brody, it's like he's doing the worst Brando/De Niro Vito Corleone impression ever. WTF.

    Watched the first two episodes of Britannia last night. It's.... not very good. There are about 25 "main" characters, and after approx 3 hours of TV, it's still pretty vague on who or what it's about. You can probably blame GoT and it's success for that i think.

    Some titties, some violence, lots of drugged out looking shots.

    Not sure it's done enough early to make me waste my limited TV time on it.

    IT's funny as I though season three sucked a bit and loved season 4. IT's still my favourite show and Tom Hardy really is the best character
