Im watching at the mo.
In comparison to Sparticus the series, Last Kingdom and the Vikings multitude of series it is truely aweful. Even Hopkins is terrible, so i blame the director. I’ll persevere though in the hope it gets better.
What TV are you watching??
- Thread starter PukkaT6

I tried watching this also - I made it through 4 episodes - it is rubbish: I will give it 1 out of 5 - I won’t be giving it 5 as they said on Juke Box Jury ( can’t remember her name )
Is Sunny worth watching?
Yes although it's up to episode 6 now and I've only watched to 4, right from the start there's a sort of Westworld sinister are the machines autonomous vibe going on, factor in Yakuza involvement and it's quite tense.
At just over an half hour per episode it's sometimes just enough but other episodes leave you wanting to push on.
Thanks, I’m going away for a few days, so looking for something to downloadYes although it's up to episode 6 now and I've only watched to 4, right from the start there's a sort of Westworld sinister are the machines autonomous vibe going on, factor in Yakuza involvement and it's quite tense.

Finished this last night.
Almost didn't get past the first episode, the wide shots on green screen were terrible, only beaten by the even worse CGI!
It got better, less big wide shots and more story - although I think they were trying for a GoT style fight for the throne but there were no real suprise twists or anything.
So, to sum up - watchable but not enough shocks and twists, not enough boobs, the violence was ok but again not exactly shocking.
Overall... Meh.
Sunny is excellent, in a slightly eccentric and quirky way.
And another Apple TV series, Bad Monkey is really really good.
But, I've just watched episode one of Kaos on netflix... Awesome! The cast is brilliant, Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, king of the gods, David Thewlis (who was epic in Fargo) as Hades, god of the dead. And a brilliant sound track too!! Going to binge this over the next few days I think!

I've not been very mobile due to an achilles injury. I don't watch much tv (and no live at all or BBC as I dont have a tv licence) so I signed up to Paramount+ and binge watched Yellowstone (brilliant) and Tulsa King (good, but not brilliant.)

I am watching Peaky Blinders from the start. I had forgotten how good it is. Five stars from me
I’ve still to watch this! but I’m looking forward to it.
The license is for the tv not what you watch. It is a contentious tax.
^^^ with respect that is incorrect.
The law changed 20 years ago. You no longer require a licence simply for owning a tv.
You only need the licence to watch live TV from any source or stream the BBC iPlayer. That is it. You could own 25 TVs and still not be required to pay the licence if you do not watch live TV.
I don't do either (I don't even have an aerial or dish) occasionally streaming from other services via my computer when I fancy watching something.
I've no great Ideological beef with the Beeb (although I'm glad not to be funding twits like linekar or pay the salary for their constant stream of perverts), but I simply don't watch live TV or use iplayer at all, so I'm not lawfuly required to pay and therefore don't pay.

Not sure if the TV licence will last too much longer when the BBC already collaborates with so many other TV providers that traditionally support themselves commercially. I'm thinking here Britbox and BBC channels provided on Freeview/Freesat and Freely platforms.
I do like the BBC in as much as being an old duffer I remember how poor ITV was back in the day however these days much BBC content is equally lousy, one other point with these traditional terrestrial broadcast TV channels is that new content has invariably already been shown on pay to view platforms so at loose in the wild for free.

year on year they're losing 300,000 licence payers as people turn to streaming services like wot I does, and in the last financial year they lost almost 900,000 licence payers. The government can do what it wants, as the pool of licence payers diminishes the licence won't sustain the Beeb no matter how much they ratchet the cost.
And apologies for sort of going off topic, had only mentioned it by way of an explanation as to why I'd signed up to Paramount+ while poorly and stuck indoors.
