What are you watching now?

Recommended Posts

Just started season 1 of Hannibal. Seems to get a lot of good reviews but looking at it from the outside it just seemed abit too cable tv "Dexter done in the style of CSI". 

 

Watched the first episode and half of the second. Seems OK but still quite "CSI". Some of the way they link the clues and come up with their theories just seem abit fake and unrealistic. I've got **** all to watch in the evening so will probably give it a few more episodes. Need the Boys to hurry up.

Just started watching series 4 of  Fauda on netflix ,absolutely hooked ( feel a binge coming on ) .

 

Enjoyed watching it at the time ( about a year ago). Would find it more difficult to watch now because of current events.

Very interesting  and of course  valid  angle , potentially  a rabbit hole if other fiction was viewed similarly  though.

Although filmed from the Jewish  side it doesn't  particularly  portray  the Israeli  ' Defence ' Force favourably,  but that's part of a far larger discussion  for another  day.

You are right, it is a warts and all from the Israeli perspective.  Thing is, at least two of the main actors including the Doron character have taken part in Israeli actions, since the Hamas attack and one of them the guy who played Sagi was seriously injured demolishing  tunnels last month.  It is quite a unique scenario and to say it blurs the line between fiction and reality is an understatement.

Thanks for the insight into the  actors , I really had no idea - your summary of this series  is spot on too.

Just stumbled across an episode of Kenny Everett’s Video Show. (Ask your parents, kids). 
 

Probably from 1979, judging by the music on there. 
 

Enjoyed it way more than I probably should.
 

Happy.
