NETFLIX UNVEILS NEW SLATE OF UK ORIGINAL SERIES WITH KATE WINSLET, IMELDA STAUNTON, DOMINIC WEST, ANYA TAYLOR JOY, MICHAEL SOCHA, TOBY JONES, CLIVE OWEN

  NEW NETFLIX UK SERIES 
KATE WINSLET'S THE UNHEARD
Netflix has announced today a slate of new UK originals, including a new five episode television series THE UNHEARD which will have Kate Winslet and Maxine Peake as leads. Jack Thorne is writing the series which follows two sisters who go on the run after an act of vengeance goes disastrously wrong, forcing them to question what pushed them to this reckless act in the first place.
 
TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED
A stellar cast will star in Roald Dahl's inspired six part series TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED which will star Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Michael Socha and Toby Jones among other names. This twisted tale will follow a young couple marooned in a faded seaside town where they must navigate conmen, adulterers, and murderous mothers to escape their sealed fate.
 
HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY
Anya Taylor Joy will lead eight part series based on Bella Mackie's book HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY as Grace Bernard, the rejected, illegitimate daughter of a ruthless billionaire (Clive Owen). When her mother dies, Grace channels her anger into systematically, and creatively, killing off her estranged extended family to secure her revenge and a hefty inheritance.

  1. I had not seen either update in my reading list, so I was beginning to wonder whether you had decided not to post today. Of course, nobody is more faithful to his posting schedule than you, which means that the slightest absence gives you away immediately.

    Netflix has assembled a formidable cast here. Kate Winslet and Maxine Peake together already make The Unheard worth watching, while Imelda Staunton, Dominic West and Toby Jones are exactly the sort of names that can make the strangest story irresistible. How to Kill Your Family is not exactly a subtle title, but with Anya Taylor-Joy and Clive Owen, I doubt subtlety is what they are aiming for. A big hug.

  4. I don't watch British or American TV series. Today, the news said that Russia was helping Serbia put out the fires.
    I also saw a documentary today about Serbian General Ratko Mladić, who died yesterday, August 27, in prison. He was a true hero! We wanted to take him to Russia for treatment, but they wouldn't let him go.

    1. Oh, dearest Irina, please do not believe everything that your media tells you and the way they present stories to you. Putya has his gain in painting things the way he does, but he is falsifying truth all the time, just like he did with Orban and our vile dictator Vucic or Slobodan Milosevic.

      Ratko Mladic was a vile war criminal who killed thousands of innocent people, he was not the protector of Serbian people but a bloodthirsty butcher just like Croatian and Muslim generals were as well. He brought us so much shame and we were all glad as people that he was taken to Hague to pay for his crimes against humanity. Do not under any circumstances call him a hero, because he was no different to Hitler. Nobody will shed a tear after him here, except the most biggest of bigots among the nationalists, but those are the same people who back in the 90s started the bloody war throwing us in decades of hatred and suffering.

    2. Hello, Dezmond! You'll never convince me otherwise that Aleksandar Vucic and Viktor Orban are dictators. They're national politicians, not dictators. And Ratko Mladic isn't a war criminal. He's a hero! He was slandered.

      Now some are calling our President a criminal. And who did he kill? Not a single Ukrainian civilian was harmed in this war, but Ukraine is killing our civilians. Ukrainian drones are flying into our Western Siberia.

      For eight years, Ukraine has been killing the people of Donbas. For eight years, Putin tried to negotiate with them, while Germany and France acted as security guarantors. And they deceived us.
      They deceived us in 2022, when the peace treaty was signed and we withdrew from Kyiv and Kharkiv. We left, but they started fighting again.

      Ukraine is a Nazi and terrorist state. They collect the remains of Nazis from all over the world and bury them in Kyiv, erecting monuments to those who murdered Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, and Russians during World War II. Ukrainian Nazis have tattoos of Hitler and his book, Mein Kampf.
      Dezmond, you live in the EU and know nothing about this. You call heroes criminals and criminals heroes.
      Zelensky pays money (their money) to Ursula, Kaja Kallas, Macron, Merz, and other scoundrels who are also involved in corruption, so they support them. They spread lies about Russia and Serbia.

    3. It is very sad how your media keeps you in illusions, Irina, the same way the Western ones often keep their own people. One day you will see the truth with your own eyes and you will see how they use media mechanisms to paint false realities. I can only ask you to try to investigate as an individual and find out more truths that way, away from the falsehoods of modern media. The fact that you would believe media more than someone who literally lives here and has gone through all that sad reality, is very sad, but that is what dictatorships do to people, they brainwash them to the point where they believe imaginary ideals more than real people. But you will find out the truth one day, I hope, yourself, just fight for it, be inquisitive, do not just believe in things blindly. You are an educated person and you have personal inner mechanism to achieve that.

  5. Do you really think President Putin is a criminal too? Why do you never call Zelensky a criminal? You never call Trump and Netanyahu criminals!!!
    Why did they attack Iran? Why did they kill little girls?
    Why has Israel been at war with its neighbors for over 60 years?
    And how many people have the US and NATO countries killed around the world?
    Do you think they are peacekeepers?

    Russia never attacks ANYONE! This war is a provocation by the US and the EU!!!
    I know the whole truth! And you know nothing!
    Ratko Mladić is a national hero of the Republika Srpska! He had to fight the Bosnian Muslims. It was the Muslims who killed Serbs, not sparing children.

    Now the EU supports Kosovo, where terrorists live and rule.

    1. How many times have you and me trashed the villainous Zelensky? Millions of times, and we will again.
      You remember that US forces killed those girls, but you do not remember that Iran has been killing tens of thousands of their innocent people weekly in the streets, just a week before Trump attacked Iran, Iran declaired a law which allows men to beat their women, but I imagine Putin does not show you that in his carefully edited news. They live under shariah law which allows them to kill people whenever they want, why would you support such a country, that regime needs to be changed and replaced with a democratic one where people decide, not sharia priests.
      And when it comes about Mladic, I will not even go into that discussion with you, because you are so uninformed about the things he did here, all the war atrocities he committted not in the name of Serbs, but nationalism. Please, investigate more about it, especially before forming half opinions, one day you will find out the truth, not all is black and white as your media show you and tell you and that is why I am trying to explain to you.
      And Kosovo was given to the terrorist on the plate exactly by Vucic, whom you call a hero, even though our streets are filled with kids and children beaten up or even killed by him and his mobsters, but that is something your media do not show you because it does not suit your president. Yesterday, for example, his ruffians were beating up innocent people down in Uzhice. He cancelled and destroyed universities, schools, sold our mines and water springs to China, destroyed courts and public attorney offices, and yet, he is a hero to you. That is why I tell you that you need to investigate and be more inquisitive in order to learn the truth. The truth is not what media tell you. The truth is what people who survive it tell you, and what you have survived.

  6. Desmond, which countries bombed Yugoslavia in 1999? The answer is: the USA, Great Britain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.
    That's where the real criminals live! They divided this beautiful country into six small, impoverished republics, which the EU doesn't care about.

    1. What do all those countries have to do with Orban and Vucic being dictators, we were talking about them but you avoid my arguments because it is hard for you to face the truth, which I understand because I know how it is when your dictator holds your country in media darkness, Putin does the same to you, and you will see it an realize it one day. And I know you hate EU, but EU gives us about a thousand times more help, both legal and financial than Russia, or China ever have and that is the fact. Even this summmer, EU came with their planes to help us with fires ten days before Russia did. And we are thankful to both, there is no place for petty hatred, you have to face the reality of the times we live in.

  8. Everything you said about Iran is a complete lie! The US knows nothing about that country. They were sure they could destroy it in a matter of days. And Iran has already won!!!

    You're not a Serb! You live either in the US or in the EU. You've betrayed your country!

    1. It is very sad watching you struggle to lead any kind of normal argument because you have no answers to the evidence and truth, so you just, like an immature child, go for offensive words. I hope that years will make you a better person and that they will make you realise the truth and how blind you were to it, and then you will be ashamed of yourself. I will keep my fingers crossed for you to become a better person because the hatred and evil you spread now is worrying and it is shameful to your people and all Slavic people. If you are not ashamed for yourself, at least have some decency not to put a shame to the honourable name of your people.

  9. The first two sound good to me. I'll skip the third. The lead actress bothers me for some reason.
