I can't watch the first season due to the wife, she's awful.
Just ask her to leave the room.

Watching Behind Her Eyes on Netflix. Pretty good.

Watching Man in the High Castle, made it to series two. Not sure it’s very good.

Yeah, we've given up after episode two, total w***.

Took me far too long to get that as well. I definitely said "what the f*** is he talking about?" about 5 times over the last two hours, trying to work out how I tell Teri Bauer to leave the room.

Dunno - no one felt like a real person in it.

Apologies, it was not my best effort

Seen the first 5. What a shitshow man. Fairly s**** now like.

Don't think eye-opening is the right phrase, aware of what happened but not the scale of it. Shocking and not surprising in equal measure.

What's that on?

Netflix.

Wasn't aware a lot of the violence was shown live on news networks. Unbelievable but again, actually very believable.

It was eye-opening at the time. Changed me as a person. I had already outgrown my own racist ignorance, and thought all was pretty good in the world.

Might give up on Man in the High Castle, it’s really boring.

I'd strongly recommend reading Fatherland by Robert Harris. Takes the same idea as MITHC (alternate history where the Nazis won) but the execution is so much better.

Gorky Park is better than Fatherland. Fatherland is a cheap copy.

George Bailey · « **Reply #644 on:** Friday 26 February 2021, 02:53:38 PM »

Fatherland is an excellent book and entirely different in premise, plot and execution to Gorky Park (which is excellent as well) so can't see the comparison myself.
Haven't seen MITHC so can't compare but I thought it had good reviews for the first season or so?

Don't get me wrong, it's great. I just kept thinking it was a very similar story.

I never realised how much of a bitch me and the wife are until we watched Interior Design Masters, I'm just calling them all the time and then at the end "its quite nice actually" but I do hate one of them already

Fatherland is superior in every way imo. A much smaller in scope alternate universe book, but such a great detective story. Robert Harris has a bunch of fantastic novels. His Cicero series, and the Dreyfus Affair one 'An Officer and a Spy' are top notch. Liked Munich and The Second Sleep as well.

The Cicero series does exalt Cicero a bit too much though. His own hubris and ambition had a sizable role to play (that is too often underplayed) in the dissolution of the Republic. But it is from the perspective of his slave secretary Tiro, who certainly had a high opinion of him.

George Bailey · « **Reply #648 on:** Saturday 27 February 2021, 12:39:36 AM »

Love the Cicero trilogy, though thought the last one (Dictator) seemed a bit rushed and hap hazard..given we had waited a few years for it.
Think 'An officer and a spy' is being made into a film?

QuakesMag · « **Reply #649 on:** Saturday 27 February 2021, 01:31:33 AM »

Already distributed, although who knows when it will be released here. No release plans for the U.S. I believe nonce Polanski did it.
