The Goggle Box Thread

I thought Unforgotten and Marcella S1 and S2 were both pretty good.

I did watch the first series of both but can’t remember anything about them. They’re all just pretty standard fayre really, nothing seems to stand out.

Happy Valley was good. Is that ITV?

 

[Bulderdash]

Invincible is good on Prime. Pretty much The Boys but animated. Brutal and gory and has a decent casting too.

It doesn't follow most of the normal comic book/superhero tropes which is refreshing, might have been the 3rd or 4th episode that really surprised me, it's been renewed for 2 more seasons this week so plenty more to look forward to.

I've only seen the first episode and I was hooked after that. I did see it had been renewed, it's definitely been well received!

That’s Image comics for you. They really did break the boundaries of comics and forced themselves into being one of the front running publishers. Obviously they’ll never touch the Marvel and DC stranglehold but their stuff is very fresh and edgy. Walking Dead, Chew, iZombie etc were all brilliant.

It was very good. BBC.

 

[Pablowolf]

Well then, I think the last ITV show I really enjoyed was Wire In The Blood.

 

[Tredman]

Some good stuff on ITV, including Viewpoint.

 

[Johnny75]

Viewpoint...well that was a waste of everyone's time

Interesting premise, and having watched all of them now, incredibly poorly executed.

Don’t bother.

Last episode was very much a disappointment

 

[Boozad]

Finished Snabba Cash. Hadn't looked how many episodes there were so didn't expect it to end where it did. I get that the story was told but it could have been a fair bit longer, it was good enough to carry more content. Enjoyed it.

Damp squib

 

[Boozad]

There's got to be more, it can't end like that.

 

[Sniffer]

Boooo. Mecurio out.

He’s lost his mojo - send him back to Cannock?

 

[Tredman]

Even if it’s not the end, it’s still crap. Was expecting the Fonz during the end credits.

 

[Boozad]

I wasn't exactly blown away I'll agree.

 

[PuntsWolf]

It was bloody terrible. I don’t get how you a) write that, b) film it, c) watch it back, and then think “yeah, that’s good that”.

Basically just dragging it out another season.

 

[Pablowolf]

But of course Buckles was a Villa fan.

 

[Pablowolf]

Took me long enough to work out DS Lomax was Flip from This Is England.

 

[Tony Towner]

That's very disappointing. Let's not pretend he was H
