I watched Hitsville, the making of Motown recently. Great doco and amazing listening to the music and being reminded of how influential they were. Even if you don't think you liked Motown, you liked Motown
Yeah, it was better than most the locos done in the past. Gordy has mellowed a lot in his old age and comes across as a reasonable bloke, when he was far from it. Smokey's plastic face is creepy though.
In a similar vein, but portrayed warts and all, I have been watching 'American Soul' the TV series based around Don Cornelius and Soul Train. "based on actual happenings' would be the best description although the general theme of him bringing black popular culture to the small screen is true. Worth a watch for the outfits alone as long as you can get through the cheesy sub-plots.
BTW, Kelly Rowland does amazing work as Gladys Knight. Not only looks like her, but had the voice down pat and does a very cool torch song version of Midnight Train. -
Watched Agatha Christie's "The Pale Horse" on BBC (Rufus Sewell).
The other BBC Christie adaptations have been great but this was bloody awful - confusing, hammy and actually quite dull.

The Stranger.
Follows the lives of suburban families whose secrets and lies are made public by the appearance of a stranger.
Based on a Harlan Coben novel.
Pretty decent. Starts off as very far-fetched and rather annoying, but after a few episodes we came to grips with that and ended up quite enjoying it. Worth a watch.
Finished Jett - really good.
Just finished season 1 of Save Me.
On a tireless quest to find his missing daughter Jody, Nelly will go to any length to uncover the truth and he'll discover more about him than he could have ever imagined.
Again, pretty far-fetched and annoying, but a pretty good thriller. Worth a watch, but I think we'll have a break before deciding to watch the second series - not sure it really warranted one. Keep an eye out for the odd displays of "everyday estate life".

Anyone know much about this new rugby player reality show in NZ?

The plenty on here that claim they could have been a contender. Maybe we should nominate someone?

Greats of Super Rugby replays in SkySport
Just watched the one on Cully.
True great. I doubt we will see another like him tbf.
That Canes period with Cully, Jonah and Tana created waiting lists for Stadium tickets despite losses and, what today would be called, failures.
People want to see star quality doing amazing things and will pay for the privilege. -

I have been watching a show called the League as well, about a fantasy football (US) league, it has off beat humour kind of like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />Stumbled across The League yesterday on Foxtel. Watched the first 4 episodes so far and finding it very good. Men Behaving Badly/Peep Show type humour. I can't believe it took me this long to find it.

Are you having the same issue as me? Going to the start of threads instead of most recent?
It was years ago that I watched the finale of The League. 🤣

@Nepia lol I knew it was an old post. I searched to see if anyone had mentioned it because I had never heard of The League until yesterday. Your post was about the only one that came up.
I am proud that I managed to use the search successfully!

It's one of my favourite ever shows, probably my favourite comedy. Gutted when it finished!

I'm getting that issue. Thought I may have accidentally pressed the wrong button somewhere

I avoided it for so long, as I'd always assumed it was based around the actual sport... which I have no interest in. So happy when I finally overcame my prejudice, and discovered a friggin' excellent comedy.
When a court settlement is made with terms involving "league trades" - inspired. -
I have looked at that and wondered if it would be worth a look, I think I will now.
Anyone watched the latest series of Vikings?
I watched ep1 last night, can see what they are trying to do, but not sure it is going to work and be good or anything much different to the last couple of seasons.

Excellent read cheers. I've always been fascinated by compositing since I found After Effects and Blender.
