Vikings was great at first but went downhill IMO. Jumped the shark with the battle for York with hiding in non existent sewers and the Saxon army having uniform armour from 200 years in the future. Add in a disjointed non-sensical storyline and I lost interest. Vikings Valhalla just carries on from there.
I do like this pedantry. Don't watch The Last Kingdom as they too have sewers in York.

Aelswith looked the same age the entire way through, and only in the last few episodes did they have a crack at giving her a few gray hairs.
This was especially weird as they didn't do it for the earlier episodes, in the same series, that were only supposed to be a few days or weeks earlier.

Covid related supply chain issues meant she had just run out of hair dye to hide her grey

It’s ok, I shut my eyes during that bit.

Airing at the end of the month (spoiler alert).
Really enjoying that series... brilliant !!!
-
Finished watching all of Season 1. {8 episodes}
of ' Vikings Valhalla ' a week ago... excellent watch.
-
So first two eps of Slow Horses and I brought into it pretty easily. There's a few 'that's not how I pictured things' moments as expected when you have created scenes and characters in your head.
Oldman brilliant as expected. Change of location for River's 'fuck up' but it probably worked better visually.
Only trouble is that the books are all about the characters while TV by nature is more about plot and even as a big fan of Herron's books the plots aren't the most complex. Some of the characters, written as cliches of the genre, appear even more so in the flesh.
Still, an enjoyable and quality watch.

Finished both seasons of The Thin Blue Line.
Excellent, I liked it better than Blackadder!

I watched that when it was first on TV1. I enjoyed it too.
Excellent, I liked it better than Blackadder!
But not as much as this...

You’re dead to me

If I remember this correctly though you only got around to watching Blackadder recently didn't you @taniwharugby ?
Blackadder (well S2, 3 and 4) was a cultural touchpoint at time of release. Clever and witty but I can see why someone watching it for the first time now would wonder what the hype was about.
-
@machpants Blackadder was good, but not as good as I remembered it being.
As I said in another post, Fawlty towers falls in same category, not as good as I remembered it.
@Crucial inhad watched most of them previously but watched all again recently
-
Watched first episode of Killing It starring Craig Robinson. As amusing as I hoped it would be. Will continue to watch.
-
@antipodean we watched it too and agree, will watch the next one

WTF is Peacock?
Haven't heard of this Streaming Service, I'm guessing that's what it is? NZ only perhaps?

Just reading a Stuff article and it is on TVNZ On Demand.
The same article mentions shows on other streaming services like Acorn TV and Shudder. Too many of them now.
