e2e4 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Quote something about series 3 Forbrydelsen (i think) bit late but the bluray or dvd boxset is out (iirc) has english subs, or theres a snide torrent knocking about (if it works). they cant take it off you if you own it.

You can get the entire dvds for about £45 for season 1to8 , about £12 for s9 and about £19 for s10.. about 74 pence an episode. again , they cant take it off you if you own it . you can always ebay it if its taking up space and has no rewatch value for you.

e2e4 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 i taped the most recent season as its shown on tv weekly(so it stays on the box forever) except when corona dug in they seemed to speed show the last 3 eps one a day and i missed the seventh or eighth episode, so had to download it later... its still on the box and hasnt been auto deleted.. strange having stuff on permanent rent that can just go is mental its kinda no wonder folk pirate stuff, the illegal stuff works better than the bought stuff.

Marc505 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Anyone watching Once Upon A Time In Iraq on BBC2 now? Very interesting documentary about life in Iraq before and during the 2003 invasion. All of the contributors are compelling but that US Marine Recon bloke Rudy Reyes, fucking hell he's seen too much him. *Edit, here's his cameo from the documentary... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-53348819/iraq-war-we-are-systematically-programmed-to-kill Edited July 15, 2020 by Marc505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's made by the same folk as the Wire, they couldn't find anyone suitable to play Rudy so got him to play himself. It's a must see, brilliantly detailed and darkly humorous in places.

boogs Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Also I did watch that documentary, fascinating to hear tales from people who were there. Also Rudy looks like his drank a bit in the 10 plus years since Generation Kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just read about him being in Generation Kill this morning, I watched and loved that series but not seen it for over 10 years and dont remember him being in it, definitely calls for a re watch. I remember an episode with some close combat in night vision which was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to GK, I honestly can't find words to explain how good I think it was. Have you read the book it's based on? It's the accounts of the journalist sat in the front Hummer with the marines on the invasion. A brilliant read, I sometimes think if someone hasn't read the book but seen the programme they would think some of the scenarios are "Hollywood spin" but then you read the book and realise its all true, fuck ups n all.

ErnestTurnip Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Halfway through Season 2 of Lost, didn't make it this far when it was first on but they're shortish episodes and seem to tick by well enough at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not but I'm going to seek it out today, cheers! Just finished part 1 of a novelisation about WW3 based on how a computer model plotted it would pan out, so I could do with something light 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted July 18, 2020 Members Share Posted July 18, 2020 I have managed to watch the first episode of Zero Zero Zero and it's fucking ace. Problem is the dodgy box is cutting out part of the English subtitles (when they aren't speaking English anyway). I hear it will be screening on Sky Atlantic UK soon. Would appreciate a shout if and when anybody finds out when. Compulsive viewing like Gomorrah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
