You wanna watch Deep Fried Masters on Amazon then.
Came up on my recommendations. It's about as redneck as you'd anticipate.

Well, it's been mentioned on here already but I spotted Long Way Up on Kodi.
Just onto the first episode so far and yeah. I'll be watching the next one as its good so far.

Watched teh first 3 episodes of LWU last night. Enjoyable and interesting. I find McGregor more annoying than Boorman!

Watching Ozark at the moment. I'd say some episodes are better than others, so much so I'm struggling a bit tbh...

Who doesn't like a bit of Lovejoy
I really need to crack on with series 2, but I've dipped back into Justified ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1489428/ ) instead, and still have 4 seasons to go.
And I've still not started the latest Man in the High Castle either

Watching Lovecraft Country at the moment. Crazy stuff,like a cross between American History X and Amityville Horror!

Read the novel. It doesn't really scratch the surface of Lovecraft's* worlds, is the telly show any better?
*HP was a bit of a racist too
Proud Tory scum since 1974.

Re: Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.
I'm just three episodes in and so far I'd say it's Lovecraft influenced,rather than full on Cthulhu. Good enough for a mindless watch anyway!
Racism probably wasn't seen as a bad thing back then,just a fact of life,the past is a different country,etc...

The Chicago 7 - a Netflix film about the group of anti-Vietnam protestors charged with conspiracy to riot in the late 60s.
Always been a fan of Aaron Sorkin’s stuff, with its fast paced dialogue. Really good and well worth a watch.
4/5.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I thought I would find SBC a distraction in The Spy but he plays a straight part well.
