There are two things that are nagging at me regarding suspension of disbelief though with the first episode.

1. If it's a training exercise, all transmission would probably have been recorded and documented for review and hotwash purposes-- which means that the HR weasel who was running the Op couldn't have thrown the hero under the bus. And? He had a room full of people who were there who would have gone.... "waitaminute, that's not what you said".

2. If the hero HAD buffooned the training scenario that badly and he was such an up and comer, he would have been given additional training and more scenarios. MI5 wouldn't spend a bunch of money training him and running the scenario just to exile him to purgatory on the first mis-step.

I realize that these actions had to happen, or the book and series would be *really* short, but it sort of bugged me last night.

R.

I try to park some of my critical thinking when I'm watching anything or I'd lose my mind and never get through anything. All and all it's a pretty decent series.

I watched Grand Turismo last night and thought it was really good.

The guy from Stanger Things did an awesome job too!

The original and the best.

Just watched this movie and HOLY CRAP what a phenomenal movie... What's absolutely insane to me is that - if this hadn't been based on a true story, I would have thought it was ridiculous "no way that actually happened"... the fact that it actually happened blows my mind. Absolute must watch.

Isn’t this a remake from an 80s film?

Not that I know of... it's an adaptation of a book which was based on actual events in 1972.

This rings a bell. Think I saw it when it was in the theater. Don’t remember much, if anything.

Getting into this disaster film, Dwayne Johnson is excellent in this.

Checking this out tonight...

[M5Rick]

One of the spaghetti westerns not directed by Sergio Leone and it shows a bit with Eastwood's character Jed Cooper surviving a lynching then later catching up with the suspects.

The Hedley Lamar scenes from Blazing Saddles, the office scene where he
and Taggart plan the raid on Rock Ridge, and the gallows outside of the window,
are all from Hang'em High.

I will always watch Hang'em High and the Outlaw Josey Wales (well most any
Clint movie).

No prizes for guessing what I'm watching tonight

OK so I generally don't do the whole Real-Life Mystery stuff. But this was unbelievable in the actual facts and circumstance. It's a 3 part mini series and well worth the watch!

[Bingham]

…watched most of the current flix out and nothing new of interest is out.

In the interim, this was actually surprisingly entertaining…great cast too.
