@Victor-Meldrew The creator, Noah Hawley, wrote scripts for Star Trek movies and TV pilots. They made the most stupid shit instead.

1 episode into Chief of War. Really like it, although I'm going to refrain from checking the historical accuracy on some parts in case that annoys me too much
I watched 2 episodes then got tired of the sub titles I don’t mind the odd French movie, but it just seemed unnecessarily painful watching a bunch of blokes speak a foreign language hen o know they can all speak English perfectly well

Discovered this gem of a show on Prime, was obsessed with it back in the early 80s as a young teen. The action is tame compared to the likes of Game of Thrones etc but that was the times
But its cast, story and cracking soundtrack are still top.
Didn’t even realise the supporting cast included Boba Fett -

That was a cool show, I’d love to see how it holds up today.
Little John is also the only man to ever beat up Clint Eastwood on screen without reprisal ( White Hunter Black Heart )

@Virgil Another vote for "loved that as a kid".
Rooobin..... the hooded man!
I had that soundtrack on LP, must have played it until the needle wore through it
Even listening to it now some moments give you chillsThe show wasn’t as great when Michael Praed left. Its cancellation was a shock at the time. Apparently cost was the main factor, at the time it was one of if not the most expensive show being filmed at the time

Yeah I remember the fight scenes, costumes etc being pretty good for the time.
Not Game of Thrones as you say but bloody entertaining.
That magical bad guy scared me, what was his name ?
-
@MN5 I can't remember any magical bad guy - but remember the druid guy - Herne the Hunter - creeped me out a bit.
Looking at wikipedia - you might be referring to Baron Simon de Belleme, or Gulnar ?
Turns out Gulnar - pagan sorceror - kiwi-ish. Tauranga Boys. -

Gulnar from series 3 (when blondie James Bonds kid was Robin)The series was great with the mystic side with sorcery etc

Twisted Metal
Cool stunts, cartoonish violence and total over the top bullshit.
Great fun switching the brain off and enjoying the ride.
Sweet Tooth is awesome.
Started watching this last night. Entertaining and well paced. Great show if you just want to sit back and watch some gratuitous violence dispersed with humour.

Just finished S1 of Cheers.
Really enjoying it, I think it would actually be ok in the current woke society.

Axel looks to be a fun character.

Wednesday Series 2.
Excellent black comedy with some deliciously dark moment. Great fun spotting the big stars - Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Christina Ricci, Thandiwe Newton etc. Loads of Tim Burton in-jokes as well.
Humour in a jugular vein.

8 great episodes with a frankly preposterous and disappointing finale
A real shame
-
@MiketheSnow ah fuck, think we're on episode 6

Sorry
Still worth watching
