Re: The Television Thread
Loved Broadchurch. Seen season 1 and 2, but not 3.
The Killing and The Fall are two others you’d like if you enjoyed Broadchurch. The Killing especially.
Haven’t seen The Bridge, but it’s on the list

I get what you are saying about messing with time lines. They were obviously trying to conveye the similarities between David/Edward v Margaret v Charles. How history repeats itself and the crown doesn't learn.
All of the characters come off as very likeable. Even Princess Anne is tops.
I've just finished it off. I've got to say that this really isn't the sort of TV that I usually go for, but I really love this series. It is so well done. The opening sequence in the second last episode epitomises the beautiful cinematography.greeneyed wrote:I've finished season three of The Crown. It's a great show, wonderfully filmed, produced and acted. The production values are amazing.
Of course, it is no Love Island Australia. If only we had two seasons of that a year!
I was a bit disappointed with this season of The Crown... in that it blatantly changed historical events for the purpose of what became a fictional story line. For example, they put things into Prince Charles' speech at his investiture as Prince of Wales... about Welsh sovereignty etc which he didn't actually say. That's on the historical record... why meddle with stuff that is so clearly on the public record, just to slant a story line in a fashion that might be more popular in 2019? It would have been more nuanced if they stuck to the actual public record... to the most likely version of history... rather than bash us over the head with the less nuanced version.
Same with young Charles and Camilla... they convoluted time lines and the most likely version of the facts just to make the two of them seem more sympathetic today, than they deserve.
Anyway, still enjoyable... but of course, no match for the drama of Love Island Australia.
I guess I'll have to watch Love Island UK now.

Re: The Television Thread
Yeah good call out. I would recommend anyone watching it to stop after season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 were not that good at allthe bone wrote: ↑December 6, 2019, 9:25 amThe Killing is excellent (at least the first two seasons) - I second that recommendationFuifui Bradbrad wrote:Loved Broadchurch.
