The Tourist. S1 was good, S2 is excellent.

Yeah well be watching that, had to choose between that and Mr Bates v The Post Office, we'll be watching The Tourist on iplayer as ITVs catch up stream is appalling.

Three episodes into The Golden Hour and it’s a must watch, absolutely gripping, harrowing stuff.

Watched the first episode then found out I was watching 'The Golden Shower', couldn't understand why you'd recommended this for me?

Auto-complete strikes again.

Mr Bates v the Post Office.
Really good TV, some great acting performances.
What a shitshow this story is, shocking and chilling in equal parts.

Watched 2 episodes and I don't think I have been this angry when watching TV before (bar Wolves games).

When I get to the documentary of the scandal I will be angrier than Paddy is at a click bait twitter source

Just watched e3 on itvx so we can watch e4 tonight. It beggars belief. Obviously I remember it in the news which was bad enough but this concentrated dramatised version really brings it home. Even in the current climate of corruption in this country it stands out.

Good series about it on BBC sounds from the original radio four series

Luden on Prime. Pretty decent drama about the rise of Klaus Barkowsky in St Pauli during the late 70s/early 80s.

It's only a trailer, but not sure about the look of this, looks a bit cartoony

 

[Boozad]

I’ll watch it

Watched Series 2 of The Tourist this week, really enjoyed it. Decided to watch Series 1 again beforehand to get up to speed, second series switched to Ireland and was a bit nuts in places but still enjoyable and gripping to watch

Yeah, it is nuts but its a good watch, we've got as far as e3 so far.

The little cop fella and his basement are a tad weird and his blossoming friendship with Ethan!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I’ll watch it

Yeah me too, excited for it. But that trailer isn't great IMO, but we'll see. Other than FM the Fallout games are probably my most played.

 

[Carrotdude]

Trailer looks pretty good I thought, the outfits etc will always look a bit weird in a live action setting unless they completely ignored the source material

 

[Del Woppio]

Yeah The Tourist is absolutely top drawer, it's a really well done concept

 

[Dire Wolf]

A remake of Shogun is coming soon (to Disney I think). Firstly, the book is awesome. Secondly, the original series with Richard Chamberlain was awesome. Thirdly, my younger brother worked on the digital special effects for the show, and was responsible for modelling the ships, including the shipwreck scenes, and buildings. I believe it is scheduled for the end of February.

Yeah, really enjoyed S1 and S2. The humour is brilliant.

 

[Boozad]

I was thinking of watching The Tourist until I heard the word humour. Put me right off. I’m more miserable than I gave mysef credit for.
