Watched the last episode of 'The North Water' last night. It's a bleak BBC mini series, about a whaling boat and its crew up in the frozen north.I personally thought it was great, but at times grim and depressing and it could be a little slow (BBC historical drama) The characters were also raw and some pretty evil.Well worth a watch.
Don't watch TV.
Just started watching this show where Keifer Sutherland becomes the President. Forget the name. I liked him in 24. His daddy was originally from Saint John, New Brunswick (Canada).
Won me over with "raw and some pretty evil," but not gonna lie, "bleak" had me looking the series up. I'm weird with stuff like this, I can either love it or hate it for the same, exact reasons, and there's no way of knowing until I watch it.
A number of new seasons and a few new shows have started this past week. Here's a few that I'm watching or about to watch. 'Yellowstone season 3'. One of my favorites. Kevein Costner and Kelly Reilly are great. Always bloody and full of drama.'Wu Tang: An American Saga season 2'. I enjoyed season 1, surprisingly. Ashton Sanders plays a good part.'Silent Witness season 24'. Episode 4 is up. I'll binge watch this. Never disappointed with this show."Only Murders in the Building', starring Steve Martin, is a new whodunnit comedy. Again, I haven't looked at it yet. Another binge watch.'Kin' is a new Irish gangster series. Episode 1 was okay, but I'm not sold just yet.Same goes for American Rust', starring Jeff Daniels. A little slow, and maybe too much mellodrama to come.I watched episode 1 of 'Australian gangster' last night. Turned it off after 30 minutes. Terrible, but that's me. Generally, I like Aussie TV and movies.Which reminds me, 'Polynesian Panthers' is also a new New Zealand show. It's based on events back in the 70s during the Robert Muldoon Era Government, and the institutional racism and policies aimed at Polynesian people. It's not bad, but very 'Kiwi'.Also watching new seasons of:# Animal Kingdom# American Horror
Good point OnNut. Not 10 minutes ago I was thinking the same. People do need to know where you got the shows from. That, I didn't, and haven't mentioned before.Yeah, the shows that I talked about above are all downloaded. Although some previous seasons may be on Netflix.I haven't watched the Aussie movie this series was based on. I'll put it on my list.I do really like the TV series though. Have a watch Adel, you might enjoy it.
If you like bleak, raw, and pretty evil, you might enjoy "Raised by Wolves". I enjoyed it, although I'm a sucker for sci-fi.
BTW Chinguetti (if you're around)Did you get around to watching 'The North Water'.
the people they choose to act as the "foreigners" (not the Hindi guy) were so cringe~~~ GRRR. Although to be fair, the script they were working with sucked (the English part).
