'Longmire' slow moving but not a bad watch if you give it a little time.

Don't know if there on Netflix but the Jessie Stone movies (six or seven made) - again a bit out of step (story of my life) with mass TV and slow to build but you have to pay attention.

Have watched all of the Whitechapel series and liked them.

Started the expanse last night, liked the first episode where the PM was blackmailed into f'ing that pig! Second one a bit weird with the game show, but will try no 3 tonight.

ummm... isn't that Black Mirror?

The last TV show I really liked was Black Mirror! It's available on Netflix (first episodes are a bit dark and creepy, but it's better after :) )

I’m onto episode 9, and there are some plodding episodes, but generally it’s maybe a 6/10.

Just watched a couple of pilots for new series.

First was ‘’Krypton’ which is the story of the House of El, starting with Superman’s great-great-grandfather, but then fad5 forwarding 20 years and focusing on his grandfather,

Second was ‘The Crossing’, which starts off as looking like a tragic boat accident involving immigrants, and then turns into a American immigrants time-travelling to escape a future war/genocide.

Watching the second season of Santa Clarita Diet - absolute hoot, (and I've always loved Drew Barrymore). Anyone who writes off American comedy as all rubbish needs to see this one :thumbsup:

Safe on Netflix is worth a watch. Just the one series, not sure if they will do another. Also very blatant product placement by audi

You would hope so eh.. struggling to find anything decent at the minute... not sure if I mentioned this earlier on the thread but watched the box set of Hell on Wheels on Amazon Prime a little while back and its tbh its tbe last thing I really enjoyed.. a western set just after the American civil war about the building of the trans pacific railway.. was a great watch :thumbsup:

bringing this back to life..Just watched 3 seasons of "The Expanse" on Amazon Prime, cracking sci fi adventure and the best thing I have watched in a long time, great characters, fabulous plot and superbly shot and directed..highly recommended :thumbsup:

Hasn’t the Expanse just been picked up by Amazon for season 4 after Syfy killed it?

Killjoys is quite fun too.

Binge list
  • Formula 1 - Drive to Survive (75% watched)
  • Marvellous Mrs Maisel (75% watched]
  • Future Man (just finished)
Weekly
  • The Orville
  • Star Trek Discovery
  • Black Monday
  • Doom Patrol
  • The Grand Tour
  • Curfew
New (not watched any of them yet)
  • Miracle Workers (ETA - don't bother)

Re The Expanse .. I believe so and hence the reason the 3 seasons dropped onto Amazon Prime last month, dont know how long until the next season but I'm really looking forward to it.. very tempted to pick up the books as I don't read much sci fi but would like too
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D
