Surprised you didn’t like BB mind although we all have different tastes I just thought it was very good television (and lots of deaths if you like that sort of thing.....) I gave up on The Wire because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying but friends are imploring me to try again with the subtitles on so I might revisit this winter. I had a similar thing with True Detective; it being on Now TV, there were no subtitles available, and trying to decipher Woody Harrelson's southern drawl was too much like hard work. Pity, because I'd heard/read good things about it. With BB I thought that didn't really get going until Gus Fring became the focus as the baddie, though it was watchable enough for me.

I don't remember seeing this in my lonely television nights. Sounds funny... 2 hours ago, Grim Up North said: I gave up on The Wire because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying but friends are imploring me to try again with the subtitles on so I might revisit this winter. Yes... yes... "The Wire"... Can't sleep? Some people wake up in the middle of the night and lie awake hours and hours watching the clock... If you stay asleep at night... "The Wire"... is a very good choice... When I watch "The Wire"... I have the feeling of having eaten 100 sleeping pills... 2 hours ago, Toast said: Sometimes there's a reason for that, eg The Last Kingdom's first series was made for BBC and looks pretty cheap compared with later series when Netflix took it over and spent more. Mmmmm... "The Last Kingdom"... It was a nice surprise for me... But... Cancellations are never easy on fans, because sometimes the people were furious that a series wouldn't be given a chance to grow... But... "The Last Kingdom"... The next is the 5 season... This is taking too long... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is taking too long... Luckily it wasn't "cancelled" (I prefer to say "dropped"). I'm amazed and thankful that they actually went ahead and made S5 during the pandemic. It looks pretty certain that they'll continue this saga to the end now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,085 Posted April 14, 2021 I know that Justin Beiber and WIll Smith's son did a song together called "Never Say Never". I didn't even look that up I actually know it. Which is actually quite worrying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes, got his Dad's ears. Does he have anything else apart from connections? Really? That dirty, unkempt unattractive yob? I don't think I've heard any of his songs, at least not knowingly, although I have heard of him. (old meme) Jesus they were making bruce versions of the eminem lil wayne meme?
