3's pretty good too.

Except for all the time the teenage daughter is on screen.

Oh god, yes. Forgot about her.

Indeed. :bleeding:

The Frankenstein Chronicles is now on Netflix.  Its an interesting mix of Gothic horror and murder mystery.  Worth a watch.

Yeah, can't wait. Season 1 was comfortably my favorite superhero TV, and one of my favorite superhero-anythings.

Second favorite SHTV show for me, after Legion.  Still very good.

I'm watching The Punisher, which is refreshingly devoid of superheroes.  :D

I liked the nods to Sharpe in the series (well, season 1).  I'm interested to see where they go for the new Netflix sponsored Season 2.

Yeah, I thought that was well done.  Season 2 starts out with a very different feel to it - given the ending of season 1.  But if you liked season 1 you will like season 2 - just stick with it  :)

Just finished National Treasure (UK miniseries). It's very different from the American Nicolas Cage movie, I liked this one a lot more. Understated drama with some subtlety, and it has Tim McInnerny :wub:.

I just saw "Darkest Hour". I liked it. If true to Churchill, I didn't realize how unsure he was at first. With all his speeches and strength of will I think I kind of assumed he was that way from the start. Good movie, Gary Oldman did a fantastic job!
Hmm, so did the real Churchill at the time also.  :)

I'm a bit skeptical he was ready to throw in the towel until a subway ride convinced him otherwise.

That made up scene was the worst part. Gag worthy.

Yeah as far as I know Winston loved every second of 1940 because he was a weird weird guy.

I took that as showing that he spoke to people on a wider basis and/or understood the mood of the people. The way it was shown in the movie was probably more of a film depiction for emotional effect. Also, the King giving him support in fighting on was a huge factor.
