    "The Last Post" on Amazon Prime

    Anyone watching "The Last Post" on Amazon Prime? It is about a company of Red caps (British MPs) in Aden in 1965. Just watched the first episode and greatly enjoyed it. For the obligatory C&R reference, the Webley MkIV .38 is much in evidence as are #4s and 98ks in the hands of the insurgents.

    Great trailer. I'll put it on my list after I finish The Notebook and Twilight.

        Actually, it is something my wife and I would probably watch. We're looking for a new show.

              I noticed last night that the Brits are using Ishapore 1A rifles! Most likely the Sterlings are Ishapore knock offs also.

                Watched it about 2 months ago. You might also checkout Godless, Bosch, Sneaky Pete, and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel.

                If you can find The Seige of Jadotville watch it as well. "We used every bullet twice"

                    I'm almost done with Godless, watched all of Bosch. Haven't watched the other two yet.

                      New season of Bosch starts in April and I think the 2nd season of Sneaky Pete starts next week.

                        Godless: The firearms used are pretty accurate for the period. The characters and behaviors are definitely 20th century. Generally, a well-done adult western if you can look beyond the fact that no one in the wild west era acted as shown in the series.

                        Seige of Jadotville: Extremely well-done and tense drama. The movie starts out slowly, but by the end you are on the edge of your seat. Based on a true story. These soldiers deserved better from their home country.

                            The Merwin Hulbert revolver wielded by the petite dark haired woman gets the prize for the most unique actual firearm in a recent western. The firearms were pretty realistic for the time except the Model 92 carbine carried by Roy. I liked the Henry rifle used to good effect by Alice and the Colt 1872 conversion carried by Roy Goode also.


                            The German chick firing her single actions at the end is my ideal of a frontier companion! Takes no crap and shoots straight.

                              Haven't watched Bosch, But I really like the other ones.

                              "We used every bullet twice." Loved that line. Had to watch this movie a second time.
