    Just watched Rebellion, season 1 covers the 2016 Easter uprising in Ireland and Season 2 covers the post war period leading up to the Irish Civil war of 1922.

    IMO, a powerful and well produced docudrama,

    It seems so much longer ago than just 4 years. ;) :biggrin:

    Watched "1917" at the Vue Westfield.

    Like "The Revenant" with trenches but without the "Empire Strikes Back" moment.

    Not worth an Oscar/BAFTA, etc.

    There is a superb documentary about Jimmy Greaves on BT sport if you can get it.
    Highly recommended.

    BT sport do some good documentaries , try finding Side by Side, about The United Ireland international rugby team union team.

    Man in the High Castle was great until the end of the final episode.

    Vikings a bit meh.

    The Witcher was good but feel like they should've given more in the first season.

    Love Vikings. Although last season hasn't grabbed me like the others did.

    Yep. And with Game of Thrones finished I thought it might get a bit more shine but it's underwhelmed a little. Still a decent watch.

    Further to my previous post the documentary about Irish rugby is Shoulder to shoulder :yercoat:

    I’m not okay with this , is pretty good and it’s a quick watch most episodes only 25 min

    Baghdad central was very good

    "The English Game", a Netflix 6-part mini series about Darwen FC and the 1879 FA Cup.

    Could be interesting...

    I'm envious. Here it's a diet of incredibly simple-minded films, either end-to-end explosions or sickeningly mushy. I yearn for the intellectual stuff like Only Fools and Horses....
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So you don't fancy watching 'Transformers meet Bridget Jones' then? :whistle:
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    I might, if Ms Jones gets blown up.... ;)

    Sunderland till i die starts on Wednesday on Netflix. Loved the first one.

    Spoiler alert - they fail to make it back up to the Championship :whistle:

    Watched “The English Game” saw it through and enjoyed it but would not to the extent that I would heartily recommend it, try it out and see, I think we have some time on our hands, there was something about it that didn’t work for me, one of those not sure what or why.

    Must watch the rest of season 2. Found it a bit of a slog though.

    This is on the list for us. Currently alternating between Mandalorian, Tiger King, Orphan Black, and Brooklyn Nine Nine.

    Also, at work we set up an isolation movie club where we take it in turns to pick films each night. Which basically means I’ve seen a bunch of classics and a bunch of utter garbage.

    We finished Tiger King last night, and I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. I understand that it is about the people and the story surrounding them is absolutely crazy, but the level of animal abuse that was alluded to and shown throughout was alarming. A lot of people recommended the show to me and when I said I was concerned about witnessing animal abuse I was told that it doesn't really feature in the documentary, which, having now watched it, I can confidently say is not the case at all. It's a very interesting story, filled with horrible people behaving atrociously.
  • ClactoniteClactonite
    I didn’t like the first episode at all as the animal abuse made me feel uncomfortable but carried on just to see what the fuss was all about and was engrossed from episode 2. Each episode is crazier than the previous one :whome: I agree alderz, none of them come across well at all.

    Nearly finished the Sunderland doc now and for some reason the greasy burger vans outside the stadium In it has really got me missing Upton Park.
