@Kruse will be very disappointed that you buried the lead.
With all the Star Wars chitter chatter on the other thread it seems apt to point out that Mark Hamill is in this show.
He’s an actor always in work it seems but I’m fairly sure this is the first time I’ve ever stay down and watched something other than Star Wars with him in it !

You've never seen The Big Red One? It's a good war movie from the early 80s.
But yeah, hard to remember much live action stuff outside of cameos as I guess he's made the bulk of his money since the 80s via voice work.

@MN5 we started that this week too.
3 eps in, is decent enough to continue (3 eps is usually my bail point)
Yeah not really a horror, is more on the SFX side that jump scares or spine tingles like Haunting of Hill House gave.
I was wrong about Carla, she looked HAF during that party.
six episodes in, will probably finish it over the weekend.

@taniwharugby are youse talking about The Fall of the House of Usher? Trying to piece together from a long thread!
I need something new to start - recommend?

@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:
@voodoo yes.
Have you watch Far North? That is worth watching.
PLenty of good stuff in this thread though, The Long Shadow, Wolf, Woman n the Wall are a few others I have watched recently that are good
I haven't seen any of those, thanks!

@voodoo Far North is a NZ one, with Temuera, based on the true story of when 500kg of meth was seized coming off 90-Mile beach.
Am 4 episodes into this, really good fun watch.
Like not having to think too deeply, thoroughly enjoying the quirky characters, the honest, the grafters, the grifters, and the quintessential kiwis - and it makes me desperately want to head back to NZ to visit the far north, where I’ve never been
Thanks for the recommendation

@voodoo also makes you wonder just how much is actually true too...I mean some crims are fucking stupid.
Some? LOL here is a reason they don't have a good job. Mostly lazy or stupid, normally both. The criminal mastermind is very much a fictional concept, the vast majority of the time.
EDIT: One of the funniest criminal mastermind things I came across was when we were doing 'exchanges' with Scotland's fast pursuit and helicopter units. Having seen the blurred-out number plates on TV, the crims came to the conclusion that this was vaseline smeared across the number plates stopping the Police units from being able to see the plate. So there was a period of several years where they would catch cars with number plates lagged in vaseline.

Maybe we need a TSF Crime Syndicate?
Just like rugby coaching, surely we can do it better than the incumbents…

I don't care what a bunch of idiots on the internet think about something.
Welcome to the Fern. Are you new here?

All Creatures Great and Small.
Granny entertainment but you can have too much dark crime, zombie and horror stuff. Feel-good stuff, well written, acted and plotted.
-
@Victor-Meldrew Are you talking the latest series or the classic from the 70s/80s?
-
@Catogrande The latest one with Simon West & Rachel Shenton

There are plenty of smart crims out there. They usually don't get caught so we don't know about them. The dumb and/or unlucky get caught.
