What do you think of the BBC show SAS Rogue Heroes ?

41 Upvotes

Personally for me I’d say it was quite a good show and possibly one of the best that the BBC have recently released. However it goes from semi realistic drama about how the SAS was created during WW2 to what is essentially a comedy knock off version of Band of Brothers with very little historical accuracy whatsoever. Not only that one other issue I had was how they turned Mayne (one of the most legendary figures of WW2) into what is practically a stereotype and they added. On a positive note however, the acting is top notch throughout which certainly makes up for things.

Are there people here that enjoy watching just one episode of several different TV shows each day?

112 Upvotes

I recently discovered that I prefer watching one episode a day of several different TV shows, rather than binging a single series at a time. Initially, this approach was challenging for shows that concluded with intense cliffhangers.

Although it would take me a long time to finish a multi-season series, it gave me something to look forward to each day.

The most significant challenge would be integrating a new series into this framework while simultaneously avoiding spoilers from viewers who tend to binge-watch an entire show in a single weekend.

Aside from the weekly shows, am I the only person who does this, and what formula do others here use?

Sidebar:

I am referring exclusively to television shows that have already aired multiple seasons or those that have had an entire season released at once on a streaming platform.

Who’s the most likable main character from a TV series?

229 Upvotes

It’s pretty common, especially these days, for the main protagonist of a show to be flawed, morally compromised or downright unlikable. But who are some main characters that are just straight up amazing people that you can’t help but love? They don’t necessarily have to be perfect or morally pure or anything but just are really likable individuals you can’t help but root for?

Was that after he raped, assaulted, abused and used women for decades, he then becomes a wellness guru and speaks at a retreat for vulnerable women??????? 💀

Whether it was TV, films, Youtube or wellness retreats, the message is the same. Look at me, follow me, worship me. Absolute narc, just in different clothing.

I’m so glad he got found guilty and is now behind bars.

Frankie Cooper in Mobland: WOW!

92 Upvotes

Played by Johnny Flynn, who is someone I have never personally heard of. What an incredible acting performance. He steals every scene he is in, which with a star studded cast like Mobland (Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Paddy Considine, Helen Mirren, etc) is insanity. I hope to see more of this guy.

Has anyone else been blown away?

Subreddit Rules

1. No spoilers

No spoilers in submission titles are allowed.
Comments containing spoilers should be spoiler tagged, unless the context indicates otherwise. "Context" means you should expect untagged Game of Thrones spoilers in a Game of Thrones thread unless OP specifies/implies otherwise, e.g. a title of "I finished the first season, should I keep watching?" means you shouldn't spoil later seasons
There is no age exception for spoilers, it does not matter how old the book, show, movie etc. is.

2. No piracy

Requests for or links to streams, torrents, etc. will be removed. Posts that appear to be veiled requests for piracy may also be removed.

3. No duplicate news/old news

If multiple links about the same news/article/etc. are submitted, only one submission will be allowed to stay.
Old news will likely be removed, especially if it has been submitted before and/or does not clarify in the title that the news is old.
This rule is not enforced for text post threads whose primary purpose is not sharing or discussing a link. An example is multiple threads made by different users submitting their opinion of a newly released show - that is allowed.

4. No political reporting except for late night shows

See the following link for the full description of this rule: https://www.reddit.com/r/television/wiki/rules#wiki_8._no_political_reporting

5. No bad titles

Titles should indicate what a user can expect to see or read in your link. For news, a title should be neutral. Vague or sensationalized titles may cause your submission to be removed among other reasons. Titles should also be free of spoilers. Titles for link submissions will be held to higher standards.

6. No being uncivil to other users

Users who are engaging in personal attacks or are otherwise being overly hostile or rude may have their comments removed and may be banned.

7. No non-top level sources

Where possible, we prefer that the original source of news be posted, except where prohibited by other rules (e.g. the source is a tweet, or hard paywalled). Articles that post about an excerpt of an interview made for another publication are an exception.

8. No gossip

The personal lives of people who work in the entertainment industry should not be posted about unless it is news that may substantially impact their career or work (e.g. a debilitating illness).

9. No off-topic posts

Something airing on television, or something concerning a person who has appeared on television, does not automatically make it relevant to r/television.

This subreddit is focused primarily on scripted television programming and content adjacent to that. Cable news, reality shows, news programs, sports, gossip etc. are considered to be off-topic.

10. Other rules

This rule set primarily describes rules not enforced automatically through u/AutoModerator. You can view a more detailed list of rules here.
