Tbf Sean Bean getting killed really isn't a spoiler considering how often it happens.

Yes an A list cast clearly enjoying themselves.  I don’t mind black comedies like this,  so two episodes in will stick with it.  

Really enjoyed episode 2 and it’s got me hooked now after that ending

Celeb big bro has Angelica bell ……. I might just watch it 

[winteriscoming]

Anyone watch series 3 of the white lotus?
I didn’t like the ending or the series in general. Much prefer series 1 and 2.

City is ours.

Drugs thriller based in,...wait for it Liverpool!!

 

Sean Bean in it and its decent.👍🏾

 

Binged it over 2 nights. Excellent.

 

The ending suggests a second series. Hopefully with same cast.

Just finished. It’s a great show, but I agree series 1 and 2 were better.

Just finished this last night and its excellent.

Really top notch and keeps you guessing what's going to happen next.

Nearly as good as Kin!

The first episode was a hard watch, the second episode I thought was brilliant. Binge watched the series.  Really enjoyed the Uss callister episode as well which is what everyone was waiting for!.

[Dr Marco]

Me too. Thing is this happens every day in the US anyway and if the technology was available, any morality goes out the window. 

[Samilktray]

Netflix was the worst thing to happen to Black Mirror. Couple of good episodes in the new series but nothing special

Harry Potter show casting:

 

John Lithgow as Professor Dumbledore

Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall

Papa Essediou as Professor Snape

Luke Thallon as Professor Quirrell

Nick Frost as Hagrid

Paul Whitehouse as Filch

 

 

Thallon is primarily a theatre actor and only has a couple of screened credits; McTeer has been around for years on TV, film and theatre. 
 

Paapa Essediou will attract the most opprobrium as it’s a race swap which will actually change the context of the story (James Potter’s bullying); he’s been a rising star for a few years now and I think he’ll smash it.

 

Lithgow is just Lithgow. ****ing brilliant in everything he’s in. Despite being an American I think he’ll be brilliant as Dumbledore. He was brilliant as Churchill. 
 

I knew about Frost as Hagrid a few weeks ago but Whitehouse came as a nice surprise. Both are absolutely perfect for their roles IMO. 
 

Good casting so far. Would ****ing LOVE them to cast Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes as Arthur and Molly Weasley though both have been involved in Potter before. (Pegg in the Hogwarts game and Hynes as a voice in one of the films, I forget which). If they get Edgar Wright to direct an episode my head might explode. 

[The Bear]

I love Lithfow too. Is brilliant at both comedy as well as drama. 

 

I have no problem with them casting a black guy as Snape, but then don't claim in all your media statements that it'll be a "faithful adaptation" of the books.
