Guy Williams has a show! Of his own - as in a vehicle for his..... talent?!
Truly the end of days
Had a show .
To think people laughed at him when he was a kid and said he wanted to be a comedian, well no ones laughing now are they ?I think I’ve posted that before , don’t care because Guy Williams.

Watched the first episode of the BBC's "The War of the Worlds" - one of my favourite books - with Eleanor Tomlinson & Rafe Spall in lead roles.
Great period detail, but that's about all. Wooden acting, a script which is appalling bad and laughable in places, and CGI/effects lifted badly from Spielberg's 2005 version. Martian tripods are particularly poor - even laughable.
Mrs Meldrew described it as "Poldark Meets The Martians" and she isn't far wrong. Hope it gets better in Ep 2.
-
@Victor-Meldrew yea was disappointing, TV1 billed it as 'big budget', so assuming (hoping) it was spent in ep2?
Expect better from BBC.
Poldark sucks arse (well the last 2 seasons anyway)
Finished Pennyworth - was a decent watch, although seems they were struggling with it being between the darker make believe world of Gotham and Batman, and the real world.
I liked the guy who played Alfred, although probably a bit young for the veteran SAS he is supposed to be - probably what James Bond would be like if played by (a young) Michael Caine

I don't.
In the last few years and much of the stuff they churn out is rubbish considering their guaranteed mega-budget. Perhaps that's the cause.

Next season: "Ross Poldark discovers a strange Martian cylinder in Wheal Leisure....."
-
@Victor-Meldrew while he and George Warleggans argue over ownership of said Martian cylinder, and Ross's pigheadedness ensures they can give whatever the current storyline is, more legs!
Ah ok, ordinarily I think BBC stuff is well done, but then I havent watched as much over the past few years.

Can't think of much "must watch" BBC stuff in the last few years TBH. Nothing edgy, just safe costume dramas - nothing like Luther or The Hour.

@Victor-Meldrew line of duty? Dublin Murders is decent so far. The Capture was decent.

Dublin Murders
watched 1st ep of that last night, looked good enough to proceed
-
2nd episode of Dublin Murders reinforces it. Have also just started watching BBC’s Giri/Haji - Yakuza drama set in London/Japan. Pretty good so far.

Also watching Dublin Murders... Enjoying so far, has a bit of a broadchurch feel.

Living with yourself. (Netflix) Paul Rudd, some funny moments, quirky little series!

Finished Goliath S3. Quality show even if this one started to get a bit out there and was verging at times of being like True Detective S2. Luckily the acting chops in Goliath were able to carry it off way better than Vince Vaughn could ever dream off.
Seriously the cast was ensemble quality. Not often you will see a TV show with the likes of Billy-Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Dennis Quaid and Beau Bridges all at their best
