SAS Rogue Heroes. BBC 6 episodes. The story of how David Stirling formed the SAS during the Nth Africa Campaign in WW2.
Made by the guys who did Peaky Blinders.
Very entertaining. Good soundtrack. Well cast. 4.5 tonnes of sand in my orifice out of 5 don’t fuck with me’s
Finally got to see this. It's well cast, beautifully shot and as you say; very entertaining.
Buggered if I could get into it. Mind you only watched a couple of episodes and then decided not really my thing, son swears by it though.
Have to admit I not into many sreies at moment, prefer mini series (maybe summer thing?) and am real pro british shows especially in comedy etc, I like subtle type comedy etc. One I really enjoyed on Netfix (when I had it) a year or 2 back was The Detectorists, just my kind of humour, though not only kind I like.

Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street
4-parter on Bernie Madoff, the level of corruption on Wall St and the incompetence of the regulators. At the end, you keep asking the question of ow he was able to get away with the fraud for so long.
does it get better? because i watched Ep1 and thought it was weak as piss. And i loooove a financial fraud doco
I guess maybe because a Ponzi scheme is really basic so they gotta pad it? But by god there was a lot of "character" stuff. and then they just moved quickly through him getting busted and away with it the first time in like 3 minutes.

@taniwharugby Glad I not abnormal and a few of us can enjoy same humour.
Just a quetion (maybe showing my age) did anyone watch 'Au Vedersein Pet', back in 90s, was one of my favourite programs, actually have all series on videos Mrs Dan bought me a few years back. Loved the characters and also when I first got into Timothy Spall as an actor, have liked all his stuff as a rule. -

The series wasn't just about the the simplicity of the fraud for me, it was the way he got away with it despite there being years of warnings, and the impact it had on people's lives - and why he did it.
I found his Jekyll & Hyde character fascinating - scrupulously honest on the market-making side and and outright theft from day one on the investment side - and thought that was explored well in the series, along with the fuck-ups by the SEC.

@Victor-Meldrew alright cool I'll finish it

@Dan54 since Covid began, I have watched alot of comedy series, old and new, that is another I will add to my list.
Only Fools and Horses was probably the best so far, so, so good.
-
@taniwharugby Yep enjoyed that too.Auf Wiedersen is well worth the watch in my opinion, and ta Bovidae had a senior moment with the spelling!!!

@Tim oh cool, what platform, or on the raging river?
they had The Detectorists on Netflix (in NZ at least) but was only on there for a limited time.
-
@taniwharugby Think you have to go to the river in NZ.

Had Covid so started watching some shit:
Wednesday: This wasn't bad but the Gomez casting was terrible. Gomez is supposed to be suave and somewhat sophisticated, not a fat, repulsive deformed troll of a man. Zero chemistry between him and CZJ (who was good).
Willow: I loved the film as a kid but this was a sick abomination. Holy shit this is bad. Even shittier than the SW sequels. Doesn't help that Warwick Davis refuses to act. The absolute definition of phoning it in.
Kobra Kai. Just wow. How this series keeps smashing it is incredible. The poster child for taking an existing IP and making it awesome rather than effing it up.
