LionOfGosforth Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just finished "The Ripper" on Netflix. Remember seeing it on the news as a kid and found the archival footage interesting and also the interviews with children of the deceased was pretty heart breaking stuff. The whole "bungled" investigation where they obsessed over the mackem hoaxer and also the institutional misogyny was stunning to see as an adult though. Incredible how they convinced themselves that the bloke had to be from Sunderland, mainly because some alcoholic twat said so on a tape and sent a few letters, while all the murders were happening in Yorkshire and the North West. Meanwhile, several women lost their lives because eye witness testimony from survivors was ignored (due to those women not being prostitutes which didn't fit their skewed and confused profile) and interviews with the real fucker (Sutcliffe was actually quizzed NINE TIMES) were ignored because he wasn't from Sunderland. Fuck me, don't know how those running that clown show back then could live with themselves afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've nearly finished Fargo season 2 after seeing the recommendation in here. Absolutely fucking loved it tbh, everything about it. A brilliantly tangled and compelling story, great characters and cast, adore the period/setting, darkly comedic, interesting themes - just brilliant.

Lush Vlad Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Watched ‘Back’ over the last couple of days. A Mitchell and Webb comedy. I vaguely remember it being advertised, but never really heard anyone mention it and didn’t realise it was 3 years old. Pretty funny, I thought. David Mitchell’s character just seems like Mark from Peep Show with a beard and a drink problem but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I thought it was canny in places but a bit too similar to Peep Show for me, the characters were too similar (DM as the stuck-up angry at the world one, RW as the floating through life affable drifter) and it obviously wasn't as good. Yeah. It is basically Mark Corrigan with a beard and in a pub. But I thought Webb’s character was a bit further away from just being Jez. It feels like the supporting cast are in it a lot more and most are funny as fuck. The old geezer, Jeff? He has some great lines. He was in the Quantocks episode of Peep Show, I think.

kingkerouac Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I’ve been recently watching the 11 O’clock Show on YouTube. I remembered it being very good but it’s even better than that, right up there with anything Channel 4 has done IMO. Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen with some of the best stuff they’ve done and the legacy it has with what they went on to do after. Didn't Gervais display a collection of his own art and one drawing indicated him crudely sucking on his own cock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me, don't know how those running that clown show back then could live with themselves afterwards. David Peace's Red Riding Trilogy goes into that in a fictionalised account of the corruption and ineptitude among South Yorkshire Police. He's pretty damning of them all. Laziness, corruption, stupidity. I remember it was televised on Ch4 a canny while back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Man down. Very childish but equally funny. Didn’t know until someone mentioned it at work. Was pleasantly surprised to find Rik Mayall in it for this 1st season, even more so to find out how bloody brilliant he was in it. Then comes my heart breaking as he dies and has to be written out of it. Ah fuck, still not over this one. :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 If you havent watched The New Statesman, I'd advise anyone reading this to go and order the dvds. Probably the funniest and accurate portrayal of the deviousness of Conservative Politics and fits in so nicely with todays political landscape. I only mentioned this because of Rik Mayal being mentioned above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Nearly finished S3 of The Bridge. It seems to be getting even more far fetched and just in the nick of time/seconds too late.
