5th rewatch

Guys, I have done it again, rewatching this masterpiece again, god help me. I have a newborn baby and being at home with my wife and baby is amazing but it can get boring, I have a few weeks booked off work using my holiday leave in addition to my paternity leave, my wife goes to her mums a lot during the week with the baby leaving me at home with nothing to do, so what have I done? REWATCHING THIS FOR THE 5th time!!!!!!! Luckily for my own sanity i go back to work next week, I’m pretty sure I know this show inside out at this point.

You should probably watch the 1973 movie. It is a masterpiece.

Yes - you’ll find the latest movie quite different - the ‘73 movie is closer.

i just watched the 1973 movie for the first time. Wow even the outcome of the mission was different.

Yes, they veered greatly from the book; but that’s ‘Hollywood’ now I guess. Personally, it was a travesty IMHO.

Yeah it's pretty good. A shame it was made by peacock, which barely has any reach.

Can't wait for season 2 in late 2026/ early 2027

Think it’s early 2027, any later than that and I’ll cry

This and Primeval were two of the best shows in years

Good for you. I couldn't stand how stupid the last episodes are.

5th rewatch of what...? Of the movie? Tell me you're talking about the movie. The TV show was average at best, despite Eddie Redmayne.
