We love Vikings in our house! It's from the History Channel but we're watching on Amazon Prime and series 4 is airing now. It plays fast and loose with the historical facts even though the actual characters like Ragnar and Athelstan were real, but nothing wrong with that. She had her ear chopped off because she committed adultery with Athelstan the priest and had a son (but the King decided she was blessed by being touched by a Christian and the son has been called Arthur!) In real life, Athelstan was King of the Anglo-Saxons. The Vikings are about to raid Paris, which I didn't know they did, but looked it up. We're watching Texas Rising now too before the Civil War about the Texan uprising against Mexico. Only problem with that is there are too many Texans and you don't know who's who. Black Sails we started watching but I couldn't get into that. Some cracking drama on the History Channel!
It was absolutely wonderful. I then watched Peaky Blinders. Not fit to shine its shoes. I doubt I'll bother with any more. The ****ing accent does my tits in
You have to stick with it for Tom Hardys spectacular performance as a Jewish Cockney gangster with a violent streak superb character.
I'm watching SAS Who Dares Wins on my way into work in the morning. It was on Channel 4, a reality TV series where they got civilians to go through aspects of the SAS selection process. Not usually a reality TV person but I've really enjoyed this.
A couple of days ago, I was checking when season four of Orange is the New Black was due to be released. It goes up to season seven on IMDB. SEVEN! It'll be worse than The Office by the time it gets to that stage!!!
Americans have a real problem with when to end things, they keep shows going till everyone gets bored or they cancel them before they have a chance. Fawlty Towers needed just 12 episodes and is one of the greatest programmes of all time.
