Das Boot.

Several plots and characters. (Not sure if it's been recommended on here before. Apologies if so).

Last episode SS Forster admitting his part in war crimes killing women and children, in Poland etc.

Telling admission for a German made series.
is it related to the movie at all?

Not real sure. Only watched the 3 seasons of the show.

Good watching: a WW2 submarine/espionage tv series produced by Germans.

I'm currently working my way through The Handmaid's Tale.

Based on the bestselling book by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, its one oft hose dystopian future type storylines. Basically, America has polluted the fuck out of itself, and this has been linked to a dramatic fall in fertility in women (bit like in Children of Men - the Clive Owen Film). All attributed to God being upset. So, somewhere along the way, the government of at least the New England aopt of the US is overthrown and a new relgious, utopian nation a called Gilead is formed. Then the few remaining fetile women are basicalyl endlaved to serve tyhe eilites who can;t have kids.

When you watch the flashback scenes, its done in a way that makes the viewer see how its completely possible. Strictly adults only, there's a fair bit of violence, rape etc. Main star is Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men,, Top of The Lake), who is slaved to service a Commander (Joseph Fiennes) and his very unlikeable wife (Yvonne Strathovski (sp?). The girl who played the daughter in Gilmore Girls is also in it.


I'm getting into it anyway.

Finished season 3 of Car Masters (Rust to Riches), now time for season 4.

Also, really enjoying watching Spin City on Stan. I never watched it when it was on tv back in the 90s and early 00s, but loving it now.

I just binged watched all 3 seasons of The Deuce. I thought it was a pretty good show, sort of reminded a little of The Wire (a show i also really liked) which is no surprise as it was created by two producers from The Wire.

The Deuce is a look at life in New York City during the 1970s and '80s when porn and prostitution were rampant in Manhattan.

Been meaning to watch this show and take on all the past seasons episodes but it seems a lot to take on lol

You mentioned Clive Owen. Good actor.

The Knick was a good show if you are interested :grinning:

Clive Owen was in heaps of stuff, and then just seemed to largely disappear around 2007.

YES

It was alright. Really just more Game of Thrones, but more predictable.
Is it more early GOT? I still haven't watched it, will try and save two episodes at a time.

It's more high class than GOT it seems. I enjoyed the first episode.

Like...more chat, less action?
For the first episode yes but it was setting up the action for future episodes. Also the people seem smarter than in GOT.
