I started Shogun this weekend and now I want to replay Ghost of Tsushima

Always considered playing that but never got round to it. Was it good?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

It was incredible. Roaming around ancient Japan fighting Mongol invaders, learning sword skills, learning Ninja stealth weapons and techniques and loads of side missions. If you like games like Assassins Creed or RDR2, you will love it

Yeah I definitely had that problem with ASIP too. They're all vile.

That's the appeal of Always Sunny for me, the fact they aren't nice guys like most shows. Plus, they rarely end an episode 'winning' - their shitty ways usually means they've cost themselves something

Really tried to like that show given I have an affinity with the City, it never really landed though, although I gave up before the Danny DeVito time.

Having a cast full of dislikeable or just bad people is fine only as long as they are interesting or complex characters.

The Sopranos for example is full of absolute scumbags morally but they are all great characters.

Yeah you have to watch past the first season really!

Watched the 3rd series of Sunderland Til I Die. Much more sanitised than the previous 2, but boy the ending gets you

Just got round to watching it

 

with a very prophetic ending.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of This Town, thought it was very good, powerful stuff.

I really enjoyed it as well. Very good with some nice music!

As it was discussed on this thread I'll put it on here. I finished my jury service today. An interesting and frustrating experience in equal measure. I left it mainly in favour of the process, but think there should be an element of the voluntary about it in terms of participation. Most people in my narrow experience would still have done it.

Stumbled across The Assembly on BBC1 last night. A group of people with autism and other disabilities interviewing Michael Sheen - fabulous viewing.

Really enjoying Renegade Nell. Latest thing from Sally Wainwright. Quite a bit lighter than Happy Valley! although quite dark at times. Like watching an Adam Ant video but with violence.

Renegade Nell > Dick turpin

Sorry, forgot we were on a thread about opinions on television series

**I thought that the television series Renegade Nell was better than the television series Dick Turpin

Thanks for the qualification.

Fallout episode 1: really enjoyed it. Gets the feel of the games, appropriate levels of violence and humour. I thought it was great.

He really seems to be a great bloke, when that lad was taking a while to ask his question and getting more stressed about it, just a calm “we’ve got plenty of time don’t worry” and then bam asks a fantastic Dylan Thomas question

Just watched the first 2 episodes of This Town, thought it was very good, powerful stuff.

The very first scene episode 1 was Worcester street Wolverhampton, I tried to like it, did two episodes and it just wasn’t doing it for me.

I know I’m a bit late on this but really enjoying Star trek Picard - especially when he becomes the head of a fascist government.
