Woodstock 99. Did know anything about it before. What a difference 30 years can make.

Re: What did you watch last night?
I haven't seen this, but I've been watching a programme about the Partition of India in 1947, which has a lot of parallels. After WW2 Britain decided it no longer wanted to be in charge of India, so pulled out in a matter of months, leaving border disputes and massive religious hatred behind.prophet:marginal wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 11:31 pm Spent the last two nights watching the two-parter re the war in/departure from Afghanistan.
What a total disaster that was.
Over 1 million people died, over 12 million were displaced, primarily because the British Government just didn't care.

Re: What did you watch last night?
I enjoyed Black Bird. I didn't think it would be much cop and wasn't really a fan of Taron Egerton. I watched episodes back to back and finished the final 2 episodes last night. The only criticism would be that it felt slightly rushed towards the end. I was expecting prison life to be developed more into a sort of Prison Break scenario whereby he had to deal with two ongoing situations simultaneously.

I accidentally took up a free 14 day trial of Acorn TV so decided to see what they had worth watching. Came across something called The Chelsea Detective which was really a rather good crime drama.

Not helped by he fact that the last Viceroy (Mountbatten "Darling Uncle Dickie" according to Prince Charles) was an arrogant moron who was totally out of his depth. He caused the deaths of thousands through his incompetence and meddling, whilst his wife was busy bonking Nehru.
It later came out that he was a sexual predator and a paedophile with a "perversion for young boys".

Re: What did you watch last night?
HIDDEN
watched the first series and forgot I had the other two. Welsh language with subs.
pretty decent, cracking scenery and a good cast.
not in the top however many series I've ever watched, Hinterland was, imvho much better, but even so, passed a few hours binging..
as for Metal Hammer above, I also thought The Chelsea Detective was a good watch. under the radar I thought as I also only "stumbled" across it. Acorn is a US thing I think, and as such of course, I only get ads when I watch the US tv channels and only the ones that Acorn decide to advertise on.

Re: What did you watch last night?
I've just got access to Disney + via a mate's login. My first watch:
The Black Hole (1979)
A Disney sci-fi flick that i watched, and loved, when it first came out, so wanted to see again for old time's sake.
As a grown up it has the feel of a 50s B movie with decent 70s special effects. The plot is slow, the acting fairly wooden and the science ropey as hell, but the cast includes Anthony Perkins, Ernest Borgnine and Maximilian Schell, and I still love it.

As it was De Niro's Birthday, we decided to watch one of his best films IMO, Midnight Run.
Brilliant film.

Took a chance to watch Bosch S1E1 last night.
Seemed good enough to stick with, albeit that the lead looks like James Nesbitt.

The red robots killing method was pretty grim for a kids film...

Maximilian was a criminally underrated robot. Utterly malevolent.

Had all the Black Hole action figures...would probably be worth a few quid now.

didn't think about the James Nesbitt link, but you're spot on upon reflection.
really good series though imvho. lots of recommendations on here too.
