Just started Thieves Of The Wood - Netflix-, 18th century cutlass and flintlock cape-shit series.
Watch it in the original Flemish with English subtitles- unwatchable dubbed into Engerlandish

Not normally a Guy Ritchie fan but Snatch is worth a watch - gangsters, pikey boxers, incompetent robbers and Jewish diamond merchants - violent but a diverting British comedy

We watched that quite recently, not normally my kind of thing but we really enjoyed it. To the point where I actually picked up the bluray of it at the boot sale last week

Itās brilliant.
Always thought his style a mix of Grange Hill, Blackadder and the British crime caper. Theyāre not realistic at all. No-one would actually speak like that, let alone Londonās criminal underworld.
Snatch is eminently quotable and a fuckload of fun. Feel the same about most of his movies really, even the ones that got panned after he became popular.

The North Water a 19th century whaling adventure/ thriller from the BBC - on iPlayer.
Bad guy Colin Farrell
Well filmed.
As I read elsewhere- blood, sweat and beards.
Makes a change from capeshit.

Just finished binging The North Water
Not your everyday box set, a few bits that grated, but worth the long haul (5 eps)
Ahoy, me hearties!
The Wheel of Time 19th Nov on Prime
High fantasy GoT / LoTR type stuff.
Thereās about 13 / 14 books - me and YoungAdult#2 have ploughed through them, so itāll be interesting to see how it is treated for telly.
The trailer is very Female lead - not necessarily a bad things all - it sets out the stall. Very important in the books, but as a bloke that aspect didnāt come though in the beginning- but hey, I probably missed it

I have no hopes for this being transposed properly on television, none whatsoever.

Correct
Have you read the Confessor series, starts with Wizards First Rule? They mullered that for TV as wellā¦
Read the first 10 books of WoT - all that were out at the time, but couldnāt face rereading to remember the plot when the next book came out (there was a very long time lag). The later books needed a good editor as the pace had dropped to glacial and the plot was a sprawling mess. Iām told the final books are decent.

Basically only because they had a co-author (ā¦Sanderson?) who I suspect wrote them with very little input from Robert Jordan
Brandon Sanderson, who finished them based on the extensive notes Robert Jordan left. Jordan had been ill a long time and knew he wsnāt going to get to finish the series.
Nope. Any good?
If you enjoyed Wheel of Time then youāll probably enjoy the Confessor seriesā¦
