I haven't got round to watching any of Blindspot yet - and now you're putting me off. Game of Thrones, Vikings, Black Sails and The Walking Dead are probably four of the top ten series on the go, in my opinion of course - though obviously not all on at the moment. I watched the first series of The Last Kingdom but it's nowhere near as good as the books. It's back in the summer, I'll see how it goes. I found Game of Thrones a real chore. I stuck with it for the first 2 series, 20 episodes and it never really got going for me. Whereas Vikings caught me in the first episode, bought into the characters and I was hooked. Horses for courses I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite enjoying Blindspot, my main complaint is that they hit us with Season 2 right on the heels of Season 1. Confusion overload.

Sombreros FFS. I think Trevor Phillips made some valid points for people on the leftside of politics. Many of those people on the left who want to represent us are caught up in their Ivory Towers and don't listen to our views and probably don't even like us very much. Remarks like Hilary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" and Gordon Brown's 2010 "she's just a bigot" quotes show just how far they've moved from the people they'd like to think they represent.

The programme raised lots of issues, and lots of ironies. It's impossible to draw a line for the majority of the points raised, shown by the difficulty of people to choose what was the most offensive of words/sayings. Phillips himself was as bemused as me at the attitude of many of the people he spoke to and he's been on the wrong end of many offensive remarks. PS The students were still absolute wazzocks. So lost in their own importance and failed to see how stupid they looked. Edited February 24, 2017 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 There's really no equivalent in mainstream US politics to what we regard as "left". They are either on the right or the far right. You are so far off the mark. They are either on the far right or the extreme right! Even their Liberals are far removed from the David Steels of our world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 As usual, we're following along in their slipstream in this "United" kingdom - Blair and Brown, those well known "socialist" PMs representing the "Labour" Party, were further to the right than Harold MacMillan or Ted Heath.

She's probably to the right of most of the UK Tory party. There's really no equivalent in mainstream US politics to what we regard as "left". They are either on the right or the far right. Any time someone with any real "lefty" ideas comes along in US politics, they don't stay in the limelight for very long. I wouldn't say she's to the right of most of the current UK Tory party - Thatcher's Children like the Britannia Unchained group are starting to reach Cabinet level positions and if they continue their rise the Tories, post-May, will have us back to virtually unregulated capitalism. I'd agree in absolute terms Clinton isn't leftwing but she's what passes for progressive in the US and her comment about a large section of that electorate, many of whom would previously have considered themselves to be Democrats, is IMO what cost her the election.

FTOF Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Watched the last episode of Taboo last night. A tad strange in parts but overall a very enjoyable series, with great performances from Tom Hardy, Johnathon Pryce, Mark Gatiss and Tom Hollander, amongst others.

Bud the Baker Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) The Secret Life Of Bees: a young girl's coming of age story set in South Carolina in the early '60's - Very Good, but why are there no handsome racists? The fillum could have been improved though by changing the girl into a boy, making him semi-human, giving him a ring of power and sending him on a quest to save the world from evil.

FTOF Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just watched Clique on BBC3. Set in Edinburgh student world, with a twist. A psychological thriller type of programme. When I saw the warning that there were scenes of a sexual nature, strong swearing and ones that some people might find unpleasant, I thought that it would appeal to me. Was worth watching and will watch the second episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I see Vikings has just hit Freeview/Sky, Blaze channel, channel 565 on Sky. (Don't know what Freeview channel) If you've not seen it, give it a try. Think there's only been the first 2 episodes shown so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
