Not as good as the British original, but still funny.
Barking mad TV show, compulsive viewing.
Series: 4
Episode:
A Man Like Me
Now that I have reached the end of the last series, I am left wanting more. 4 series just isn't enough. I suppose it doesn't help that there are a welth of missing episodes from the first 2 series. Woodward was a class act all the way through, and the writing never faltered once. So glad that I finally got around to watching this. The world of espeionage has never been so murky than in Callan.
The second (and what looks to be the last) series of this 60's set French spy comedy series. The second series failed to have me entertained the way the first one did, but it was still very enjoyable.
With the subject matter at hand, you wouldn t think this could be funny, but Ricky Gervais pulls it off.
Pretty good show, and Jon Bernthal is by far the best Punisher. I think he would have made a good Blueberry, too.
I missed all last season hopefully they are rerunning it on BBCi
The show is really batshit insane but there is something very endearing about it being so confident in what it is.
I have only played the first game, didn't get to the rest yet, (even though i have all the games and books at home) but being native polish it also makes me proud to see because the Witcher franchise is a huuuuge deal in Poland. He's a cultural icon on his way to becoming the polish James Bond equivalent you might say. So seeing that represented in a truthful way with passion behind AND being super successful, is really nice to see.
And Cavill gives it his all and delivers one of his best performances (he trully loves the games and the character btw, he pushed for this show to happen in the first place).
So yeah he definitly earned my support for him to be the next Bond as well.
Aww who am i kidding, he always had it.
Agree Cavill I think would prove alot of doubters wrong as Bond.
The Witcher was great i did not want it to end, Anya Chalotra was incredible as Yennefer. I expect season two to be more expansive, Season one was good though did feel like alot of set up.
Obviously inferior to the movie, but I still like it.
I'm looking forward to the second season.
Yeah, me too. Still haven t finished the first. The comedy here comes from him not caring. He says whatever he feels.
Thanks my friend I just knew you'd appreciate it. To think that His Dark Materials ( I enjoyed it), Christmas Carol (not to sure about this) and of course Dracula (what the hell were they thinking) have no doubt had much more viewings and publicity when this left them all standing.
I mentioned this after I saw it and said how much it had affected myself and my Wife, it really was nothing like anything you've seen before.
Police drama, Triad gang rivalry, love story, drama, also more than fair dose of humour with performances across the board utterly superb.
It had moments of tension, a great action set piece and heartbreaking drama with realistically drawn likeable and relate-able characters.
It still has not had a release date for physical release but is still on the BBC i player and on Netflix in various territories I believe around the world, do yourself a favour and watch this.
An 8 parter, no need for a follow up, says all it needs to in those exceptional episodes and doesn't drop the ball right up to the end and a moment in the finale that needs to be seen to be believed.
Also another honourable mention must go to another BBC drama that was on before Christmas, Elizabeth Is Missing.
A drama about an pensioner coming to terms with dementia setting in and the affect on her self and her family with also the added element of a flashbacks to her past where there is a mystery about her older sister who went missing when she was a teenager.
A relate-able drama which showcases an 80+ Glenda Jackson on incredible form, this is a 1.5 hour one off and again begs to to be seen.
Both blow away all the more high profile big budget TV blockbusters out there.
I always know when I see the name David Simon that it will be a mark of quality. The Wire is my favourite series of all, although any of the shows I've seen he was attached to always work their magic on me,. Be it Treme, Show Me a Hero and of course the recent magnificent The Deuce
They are always full of rich characterisation and brilliantly acted. The Deuce encapsulated all of this in its 3 densely packed and explosive seasons and although not the usual montage was concluded with a beautifully realised moving poetic sequence.

Finally caved in after listening to nagging about this show for years. Starts good enough.
One episode in, this is quite good in some ways. Mainly sets and photo.. As far as tv adaptations go, it has its qualities, but there is some idiocy here and there. Bang is terrific at the start, but then it slips and gets cringeworthy. I like the cliffhanger ending, but am in no hurry to see the rest.
Unlike Dracula, the writing is rather clever in this one. Three episodes in, I am curious to see where this is going.
Good first episode really enjoyed it, will binge watch over the weekend.
Edited: Second episode is barking, great TV. This is brilliant
This Matt Groening series has the same wicked humour as the Simpsons and Futurama. I love it.
Enjoyable Breaking bad spinoff.
The third season is finally here, and is a prequel, thus called season 0. As hilarious as ever.
There is definitely something Bond-like about him. I wouldn't mind if Liev was in the running for the next actor to replace Craig, British born or not.
Bizarre.
