Box Sets, Mini series, films, etc.

Breaking Bad is brilliant, as is BCS.

Just watching Nuremberg - it’s very very good.

[Taipan]

Found the box set of the British Mad Dogs the other day. Going to rewatch it starting tonight. Its really good but not sure i'll stay with a rewatch...

[weeksy]

'EVIL' it's a mini series things... it has moments of ace, moments of WTF and moments of "really did you go there !!! ".

Overall i'm enjoying it though in a slightly bizarre way.

Good cast but a bit weird and drawn out. As the plot unfolds, you get why she's doing what she does, but its so slow you get frustrated and we both found ourselves wanting her to just get on with it. That makes more sense if you've watched it obvs.

We just watched The Staircase. Lots of twists and turns and never quite sure if he did it

Watched the last episode, excitedly waiting for the verdict.

Nada. Nothing. Stupid ending keeping you wondering

What a waste of time

Dark Winds (Netflix irrc)

Set in '71 in the Navaho Reservation. Just picked at random from the list, but really got into and thought it was surprisingly good.



Currently going through "Smoke" on Apple TV - actually pretty good slow-burn series - will likely come to a very sudden dramatic finale with the potential for a follow-on...

We just watched The Staircase. Lots of twists and turns...

Ah, spiral staircase.

Mr Mercedes on Netflix: 3 series. Brendan Gleeson is good. Based on a Stephe King short story. It's watchable.

Down Cemetery Road: Apple. I stuck at it, but I won't be rushing out to see any sequel

Tehran. Apple. Just working my way through it now. Good .

Night Manager s1. BBC. Second series is absolutely watchable. Was worried it wouldn't be a patch on series 1. It's not as good, yet, by I'm only two episodes in

Slow Horses probably mentioned a hundred times in the thread. Latest series not as good- but it's still one of the best things on TV

This is typical of what I watch now and only then when I can't sleep at night. (or during the day! )

Started Girl Taken on Paramount - 3 episodes in, actually a little disturbing - hard hitting.

[Rockburner]

"Obliterated" on Netflix...... Because what the world really needed right now is a live-action spin-off/origin series of "Team America: World Police" Just don't.

[Taipan]

Lakeview Terrace. Samuel L Jackson being himself but a really enjoyable film.

[McNab]

The new Running Man.

I really don't like the Arnie one. It's a terrible film and not helped by the fact that I read the book (which was fantastic) the day before I saw the movie and the movie is nothing like the book.

The new one is much more like the book, basically channel 4's Hunted game show, but with guns and explosions. Glenn Powel is likeable enough as the lead, the action is ok and it's quite well filmed. I felt it was too long and they didn't quite have the balls to match the ending of the book.

7/10

Enjoyed this as will you, but only if you like Agatha Christie whodunnit type films!

I just looked for that on our magic box

As I typed in the search button it brought up Seven Dwarfs

[Mr Moofo]

Currently wading through Say Nothing on More4 catch up.
About the Price sisters /IRA / killing of Jean Mcconville
It’s a tough watch in places and very over sympathetic to Dolours / Marian / Gerry Adams

But I have started it so i will finish …

[MrLongbeard]

Starfleet Academy
Absolute dross, after enjoying Discovery and even Strange New Worlds I was looking forward to this, but it seems to be very PC and overly inclusive, even having the characters swear regularly to try add some grit just falls flat on its face.

[Dodgy69]

Started watching Hijack last night with Idris Elba. Pretty good so far.

[Taipan]

I stuck it out, but the wife wished we hadn't. She probably had a point...

[McNab]

Friends and Neighbours on AppleTV

Rich people problems. It's watchable enough though and John Hamm carries the show.

[Mr Moofo]

I quite liked it
