Not in Crawley Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Loved that last episode - much prefer these sort of episodes to the main story to be honest. Also when you have got all the action it actually matters when someone dies/is at risk and you've actually got character motivation rather than just a moody protragonist and a plucky kid sidekick battling against the odds, which has been done to fucking death. You understand why they do things, not just because it moves the plot forward searching for a MacGuffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought - ooooh, this might actually be interesting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Better on BBC, 5-parter. Started well. Ended a bit odd. They always do. The Gold - enjoyed it. Even though we all know the story. Currently 2 episodes in to Go Hard, Go Home. Another bunch of misfit 20 somethings on some desert island being put through their paces by some hard nut PTs and athletes. Dimitri is a fuckin’ big fuck off drama queen (him/her/they/them). Whilst Seb (who happens to be from Bolton) is the standout top bloke so far. His accent could not be more Bolton if he tried. BBC3.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 6, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2023 Documentary about the rise and fall and death of former Wanderer, Jlloyd Samuel. Should betting sites have a duty of care, even to wealthy footballers? £13k + in one day isn’t normal behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of things I do like about this series is how the brutality is used sparingly, those mutilated bodies hanging up from the rafters was rough as owt.

I know Ellie is probably well past the point of being desensitised but the state she left David in would surely fuck her up. He would have been in a bad way after that.

So I assumed for an hour she was going to get bummed by the main guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
