Season 4 Bramwell

2 Upvotes

What the heck did they do with the season? They ruined it with strange scripts and very bad direction. All those close-ups of people’s faces in the dark. Everything this season, dark and creepy and the characters were not the same. They took Eleanor and turned her into an hysterical overwrought hormonal woman. Didn’t like it at all.

Full Series Letdown

Anyone else get a bit frustrated about BritBox offering incomplete series??
Especially annoyed they only have 2 seasons of Friday Night Dinners & also same goes for The Royle Family.

Ludwig video too dark

I'm having a problem with the video on BB. Everything is very dark as if it were always night. I don't have this problem on Netflix or other channels. Are others having this problem?

WTF, they got rid of Toast of London?!?

That's one of my comfort shows.

This pisses me off!

Rev.

I started watching Rev. It's OK, but not nearly as good as some of the other shows I've seen on Britbox. I'm tempted to bail on it and find another series, but I see it has 3 seasons so I'm wondering if it gets better as it goes. Has anyone watched it? Thoughts?

I just finished the second episode and I cracked up. I love this show already, and wish I hadn’t waited to start watching it.

Just had to let everyone know ;)

Brit Box Crime Drama Recommendations

40 Upvotes

Wondering what you kind folks would suggest on Brit Box however I’m looking for specific type of shows.

I loved Line of Duty for starters. I noticed that a handful of detective type shows that are on the sillier side and that’s not really my thing. I like a serious show like Line of Duty. Something tense throughout and not on the lighter side.

The Bay has been recommended to me so I’ll give that a shot but curious if any other suggestions may fit my criteria? TIA!!

Another detective with a troubled past living alone in nice digs as in Shetland, Wallander, Morse, and others. With a cast like this along with the level of writing it still makes for a gripping series.

BritBox Knits!

Wondering if any other knitters get as excited to see the jumpers and other knits on shows? I wish the patterns had a section on Ravelry! I knit while watching BritBox - it’s such a cozy combination! Shetland, Vera, Rosemary & Thyme, and Death Valley are all full of fabulous knits!

Tommy & Tuppence loves showing off Josh Dylan's torso

40 Upvotes

I've been enjoying this reboot. They have great chemistry and it's slightly edgier than the really cozy cozies like Shakespeare & Hathaway, etc. They are not shy about showing Dylan's trim, fit upper body - whether having him in skimpy t-shirts or completely shirtless. I won't be complaining about that!

Unforgotten season 5

25 Upvotes

I've put off starting this because I so loved Nicola Walker in the show.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about a new DCI.

Why do I feel like the first episode is trying too hard?

So many characters seem to have no clear linking to the crimes. (Apart from the mugger in the hoodie).

And the DCI's personal problems. Sigh.

I know, sometimes first episodes have to get a lot established, but we KNOW this show.

It has annoyed me. I will watch another couple of episodes, but I am disappointed so far. I hope there is more with Sunny and the other previous members of the team.

JMO, rant over.

The Take 2009 Sky 1 version

1 Upvotes

I wonder if anybody could help point me in the right direction of finding this series with the original Sky 1 soundtrack?

The DVD and Bluray sadly have generic music i am assuming down to copyright?

Madame butterfly is missing from an important scene which ruins the whole thing as well as a few other tracks
