If it wasn't for that I would not bother watching the second episode never mind anything beyond that... Unfathomable plot ("plot" is term I use loosely here as it seemed to be missing one entirely), American street slang as impenetrable as drunk weegies, police talking like "get a 402 on the FGT and put me a RRY in after the 335".... EH!? :scratch:

Jez,
had EXACTLY the same reaction first time I'd watched it.

Like £90 fuses it takes a while to burn in ;) (kidding)
beware bias and what you've read.

it IS as good as they say it is, grabbed me from maybe the 3rd episode?
Saw enough from the first half hour to keep me interested though, all about the subtleties!

Having seen all 6 seasons I'll boldly say it's...literature....almost Shakespearean in its scope.

Stick with it, you'll thank yourself in the morning. :)

K-19 The Widowmaker, love a good submarine film plus this has all the paranoia and fears of the cold war

Good film, and based on fact...how much is hard to say.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2326554/ A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Will be screening in a minute.

Re K-19, loved it, actually anything cold war/espionage related, recently finished The Night Manager bbc mini series, after hearing the awards it received, did not do it for me. Bill Nighty in Page 8/Turks & Caicos/Salting The Battlefield in comparison was way way way up there.

Last night I was mainly watching Star Wars - Resurgence

Carry On Again Doctor(1969) Stars Jim Dale along with the regulars, Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Barbara Windsor and Hattie Jacques. Marvelous stuff... Doctors' Nookey, Carver and Stoppage. ;)

The Monuments Men

Very interesting and at times moving film about the allies art recovery team during WW2.

Now watching The Stepford Wives (1975), based on Ira Levin's dark scifi satire. Excellent film.
