I watched "All quiet on the western front" based on the book (i haven't read it) on netflix its a fantastic movie its in German and has subtitles but if you don't fancy reading them you can put the English dubbing on although i feel you loose something from the movie with the dubbing on but each to their own, its a fantastic film all the same definitely worth watching!

Better Call Saul season 6 airs on the 18th of April.

Looking forward to this as it hopefully answers a whole heap of questions relatiing to the entire franchise of Breaking Bad.

Well it's finished now and immediately goes into 3rd in my top 5, behind The Sopranos and The Wire.

Almost all questions were answered as far as I can remember and I highly recommend watching this show. It's a 9/10 for sure, especially if you enjoyed Breaking Bad.

Has anyone watched Ted Lasso? If so, is it any good?

Also any suggestions for comedy series/shows?

{Ed001's Note - yes and yes well worth a watch.}

Ed001 you watching hawkeye?

I am really enjoying it, although all these disney + shows and phase 4 is effectively origin stories. I am on to you Marvel!

In the superhero genre I have always preferred the stories that are more human orientated. I.e. batman or iron-man. So it's nice to get a disney plus show that takes it back and isn't about superpowers or magic.

Plus the character they have brought into the fold is fresh and won't just be a re hash of the hawkeye we are familiar with.

I don't want to say too much for those that haven't seen it but I would definitely recommend if someone is after a lighter TV show. Plus it happens around Christmas, what's not to like?

{Ed001's Note - I haven't had a chance to see it yet. I keep meaning to start watching it but time gets away from me at the moment. Glad to know it is worth a watch though!}

These aren't TV shows but I feel these need to be seen. It's a 3 part youtube video called Life Beyond.

It's simply incredible.

Chapter 1 - The Dawn





Chapter 2 - The Museum of Alien Life




Chapter 3 - In Search of Giants

Some good shows releasing new seasons this month and at the start of next year.

The Expanse season 6 is released this month, then early 2022 you've got Stranger Things season 4, Better Call Saul season 6 and Peaky Blinders season 6.

Ironically, all of which should have come out this year, but the pandemic pushed back Stranger Things, Bob Odenkirk having a heart attack pushed by Better Call Saul and the death of Helen McCrory (Polly Gray) pushed back Peaky Blinders.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Polly in Peaky Blinders. There is talk of a replacement actress, but the only one who could fit the role in my opinion is Sigourney Weaver (purely because her and Helen look very similar), but who knows if she can do a Birmingham accent convincingly lol.

I mean look at these two pictures, they really do look alike.

Damn Ed, don't watch that trailer then above this post, it'll spoil half of season 5 for you lol.

Get it watched.

Just watched first 5 episodes Ted Lasso season 2. How good would it be to have Roy Kent on Soccer Saturday. Especially with all that salty language.

{Ed001's Note - I have been meaning to watch the second season. Might do that during the international break.}

Great show. 👍.

Ed001, you watched loki yet? If so What were your thoughts on it?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, watched it the other day and really enjoyed the idea. Looks like it is going to be fun, if a little odd. I was surprised they revealed who was being hunted so early though.

What about you mate?}

I really enjoyed it, it is a slow start but he is one of the best characters that the MCU has created so plenty of scope for the show.

I am slightly worried that it will get really daft with the multiple timelines, similar to X-Men which has left it unwatchable for me. But they haven’t made many mistakes yet so I’m sure they will get it right. And I’m still not 100% sure of the rules for time I’m the MCU.

I can’t remember where I saw it but there was a list of 10 best actors on these sites, hiddlestone has to be in there for me he’s a cracking actor.

{Ed001's Note - that was on the movies and you are right, he is an exceptional actor, I can't believe we forgot about him!

I agree on Loki being one of the best characters, but in large part I would say Hiddlestone helps to make him quite so good. You put him and Thor together and it is always very watchable as the two bounce off each other brilliantly with some fantastic lines.

Time travel stuff can often end up messy, when you add multiverses in too, you are right it can just get silly. Hopefully the lighthearted nature of Loki will help make it work. It certainly does with Legends of Tomorrow, which was awful when it was played straight, mind all those DC shows, such as Arrow and Flash, are terrible, they are like 80s teatime TV, so dated. Legends doesn't take itself seriously and so became watchable and enjoyable, at least until the latest series, which might be a season too far.}

you watched the final episode yet ed? I won't say to much just in case but I thought it was excellent and acts as the start of phase 4 for me.

My concerns above have been settled and can't wait for what comes next.

It also reaffirmed what we said, Hiddlestone is a very good actor and one of the very best out there.

{Ed001's Note - not yet mate, I did enjoy the one with multiple Lokis though. I have to say Hiddlestone is impressing but I did think he was a bit outshone by the alligator in ep 5.....}

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jul 2021 11:05:16
Watched it yet Ed? And if the alligator doesn't get an Oscar for that performance, there's just no justice. Such a snappy performance deserves the highest of accolades.

{Ed001's Note - I did watch it. I am unsure though how I felt. Which I think is good because they made me think, there was no meh was that it? Instead it left me wondering. And now you have left me groaning.}

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Jul 2021 11:04:29
I loved it, it's the first show that properly linked to the MCU imo.
Wandavision ended up being a prequel for the scarlett witch we will see in Doctor strange.
Falcon was an orgin story for new cap but Loki truly has huge implications going forward for the MCU as we know it. Plus I had no idea who Jonathan Majors was so didn't realise it was kang (or a variant) until the Conqueror line.

He made the episode for me, it takes a talented actor to have effectively a monolouge but keep you interested. I also loved the opening sequence.

The episode made me feel a lot better about how they are going to deal with the multiverse moving forward and I think by doing that, everything Marvel has ever done. X-men Fantastic 4, Deadpool etc has all just become canon. I thought I would struggle to keep being interested in the movies after endgame, but nope, I am hooked again!

{Ed001's Note - I would love to see a Deadpool series next.}

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2021 14:04:17
I actually really enjoyed Loki in the end, first few I was not to keen but what a final episode.

Very well done Disney.

Hi Ed. Started watching Ted Lasso last night, its funny and i think it will end up quite heart warming.

Have you seen it?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, sorry if I had known you hadn't seen it I would have recommended it. Someone mentioned it on the Liverpool site just after it came out, so I watched it then. I really like it, though I haven't seen season 2, if that is out yet?

Mythic Quest I quite like as well, on the same sort of comedy lines, though not about football.}

Agree0 Disagree0

12 May 2021 13:29:45
FInished Ted Lasso, was really good. Season 2 should be funny.

something about Hannah Waddingham as well. :)

{Ed001's Note - Loki is out soon as well.}

Next Season start's July 23.

Hi Ed, I have watched the first two episodes of the second season, its also very good. Very good again.

{Ed001's Note - I will look forward to it when I get a chance to see it.}

Agree0 Disagree0

04 May 2021 20:12:14
Ed001, did you finish Season 5 of The Expanse? What did you think?

Also have you seen that Wes Chatham (Amos Burton) and Ty Franck (Expanse creator) do a podcast together called Ty and That Guy? They're currently rewatching the entire series and then discussing each episode. Plus the banter between them is very good and they talk about other movie related stuff.

{Ed001's Note - I never mate, I haven't had a chance to start season 5, I had completely forgotten about it. Will have to do that when I get a chance as the first 4 were excellent.}

Agree0 Disagree0

03 May 2021 18:11:59
Ed, bispin is in warrior season 2. I went to school with him in Clitheroe lancs.

How mad is that. He beat me mate up once in a pub for talking to his Mrs lol.

{Ed001's Note - if I had known you knew him, I would have mentioned he was in it to you. So you didn't sort him out afterwards then?}

Agree0 Disagree0

03 May 2021 18:31:07
My mate loves the fact he got crack by a ufc champ lol.

He wasnt a nice lad but I guess that figures with his profession. Fair play to him though.

Al sham my boy these days. lol.

{Ed001's Note - he seems nice enough these days. But you are right, it is difficult to be a nice guy when you are a fighter.}

Agree0 Disagree0

04 May 2021 21:34:07
Ed, episode with Jacob was immense. One of the best shows I've seen I reckon. 👌.

{Ed001's Note - can't argue with that, I am so glad they are making a third season.}

Agree0 Disagree0

05 May 2021 20:01:21
Ed, quite honestly one of the best shows going. Just finished season 2. When is season 3 due? Al sham is mega mate.

Just awesomeness 👌

You got more recommendations if that's anything to go by you onion, I'm off to get sticky with any luck. Lol.

{Ed001's Note - they have only just given 3 the green light so it will be a while. I can't think of anything else to recommend but I will go through the app I use to keep track of what I have seen and see if there is anything I have forgotten.}

Agree0 Disagree0

05 May 2021 20:24:36
Cheers mate. So good ain't it.

{Ed001's Note - it had been cancelled after 2, but there was a big campaign and then it got released on HBO to stream and got such a huge reaction they decided to make 3 after all. It is a fantastic show.}

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2021 10:45:33
Finished falcon and the winter soldier yet Ed001? Don’t want to say too much as it only aired yesterday but the last episode is very good. I’ve enjoyed the whole season tbh.

I thought I’d lose interest in marvel after endgame but they have pulled me back in, I hate how they do that!

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, very good, especially the finale. Really enjoyed it.

I have started watching that Nevers thing as well. Not bad so far. Would be better but for the alien thing, which was cringey.}

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Apr 2021 09:48:37
Finished Winter soldier last night, was pretty good at the end.

Did you find it very dark, not sure whether it was the light in my living room or just the fact it was very dark, could hardly see what was going on.

{Ed001's Note - it was dark at times, but I often find that here as I have big windows covering one whole wall and it does tend to make it difficult to watch TV during the day.}

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 13:43:18
Has any one watched "the one" on netflix, really good show and very clever idea.

{Ed001's Note - I haven't mate, what's it about?}

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Apr 2021 14:10:23
A pair of scientists discover that through DNA you can find the perfect match for each other. In essence it sounds like a perfect idea but there is plenty of backlash for them and other people.

I enjoyed it anyway.

{Ed001's Note - it doesn't sound good to be honest. But if I ever see it on TV I will give it a try as you are recommending it, rather than turn over because of how it sounds.} Become a Patron!

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Apr 2021 17:00:10
Thats nice of you to say mate. I binged it so must of been pretty good.

Do you have any recomendations?

{Ed001's Note - I haven't really watched much recently. I did try The Wire as it was recommended on here and it was good. Trouble was I was watching it on TV and I forgot to watch or record a couple of the episodes and need to get round to going back to where I was up to and watching from there.

A guy on Wolves recommended Yellowstone and I quite like that, just not sure why as I find most of the characters thoroughly unlikeable. Except the teacher. Now she is very likeable!

The only other things I have tried are Industry and Reprisal, neither I would particularly recommend. Industry is ok but that's all and I lost interest. Reprisal is just awful, just bizarre and, as it was always on just before a match I made the mistake of sticking it out to the end. Clearly it was one of those shows that got cancelled and they tried to mop up all the loose ends that had been planned for a further season, or more, in one episode. I would suggest avoiding that show.}

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Apr 2021 21:50:56
All in all a big fat no then mate lol.

If I come across anything I'll shout you.

More punisher or daredevil would be great.

{Ed001's Note - have you been watching Falcon and Winter Soldier? I only managed to catch the first two episodes, which I enjoyed, but then kept missing when the next episode was on and it is on about 5 or 6 by now.

I am looking forward to season 3 of Warrior. Love that show.}

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Apr 2021 09:17:07
Yes I have mate, really good isn't it. What's warrior?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate it is very good.

Warrior was a series set in San Francisco in the 19th century based on an idea by Bruce Lee. It is really good and still very relevant with regards to race relations etc, but most of all just good characters, especially Young Jun!}

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 13:58:07
I watched the first episode of Warrior, enjoyed it. fighting coriograhy (spelling) is really good.

lots of sex scences as well, mrs was asking what I was watching lol

I'll keep on with it.

{Ed001's Note - it's very good mate, I really enjoyed it and the bromance between Ah Sahm and Young Jun is really good. I think my favourite episode is the one with the coffin.}

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Apr 2021 19:56:59
John chinaman is the bollox Ed. Loving it.

{Ed001's Note - I told ya! One of the best shows ever I think. So glad it got picked up for a third season after a campaign by fans of the show.}

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Apr 2021 20:43:35
Just finished ep 3. Really getting good now. Oleary a piece of work as well. Cheers fer recommending it.

{Ed001's Note - just glad you are enjoying it. Always nice to recommend something people like.}

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Apr 2021 08:25:27
Morning Ed, the one with the coffin was very good, I can see why you like Young Jun so much.

It really is a great show. I'll have watched both seasons by Monday lol.

{Ed001's Note - it's hard not to like Young Jun. Glad you are enjoying it mate.}

Agree0 Disagree0
