Avengers - I enjoyed watching them as they came out, but don't think I'd sit through them all in a row

Hobbit films aren't great and Marvel films are good but probably not worth the time to work back on the dozen or so films that lead into the last Avengers films.
LOTR is incredible though.
Same here. Never seen any Marvel stuff what so ever. None of the others interest me either.Quote:

I liked the LOTR films well enough. Didn't stick with the tv series.
Watched Doctor Strange movie because Benedict Cumberbatch was in it. Liked it. Watched the sequel - had no idea what was going on. The protagonists had all been involved in other movies in the meantime, so I was lost. Unless you watch the lot and in the right order, I wouldn't bother with any.
Was flicking through an old drive I have and found a new thing to watch and something to rewatch. So I started re-watching The Mentalist, it was an American series about 'psychic/mentalist' turned police consultant that helped the Californian Bureau of Investigation solve crimes, I loved it first time around and got right back into it. If you've not watched it before it is worth a wee watch if you're into crime fiction, no blood and guts, no swearing just prime time American TV doing what it is meant to do, entertain. The clips are popular on TikTok I am told.
The new thing I found started in 2019, I am surprised I never seen this at the time but it was on Disney+ so thats probably the reason. It is The Godfather of Harlem a bio (loosely based on his life) series about Bumpy Johnson a black crime boss who comes back to Harlem after a 10 year jail term. Only watched the first one but it was a beauty, great cast lead by Forest Whittaker and Vincent D'Onofrio both of whom rank high on my list of favourite actors. Can see myself getting hooked on this, there is three seasons to enjoy. I really hope it keeps up the standard of the first episode! This one is not for the faint hearted, lots of swearing and violence, language used is of its time and place.
I’ve tried the Godfather Of Harlem a few times. I enjoyed it initially but each time I’ve drifted away from it after a handful of episodes, without thinking it was poor. It ticks all the boxes but for some bizarre reason it doesn’t hold my attention for long.Quote:

Just checked out the trailer, feels a bit like Alice in Borderland and Squid Games, will definitely give it a try. Japanese and Korean TV is a goldmine of great TV if you avoid the over dramatic soap opera type shows that can dominate.Quote:

Totally agree mate , Their is some brilliant Asian tv programmes . I loved Alice in borderland 1 but didn't think 2 was all that great , All of us are dead is good tvQuote:

The feature length documentaries the BBC are doing in the run up to the Olympics are really good. Been one about Daley Thompson and Linford Christie so far. The latter in particular was pretty harrowing viewing, the racism he faced from the press was unreal. Not sure if there are any others planned but these 2 are both excellent.

Another one i forgot to say was 'my name ' ..One of the best asian box sets for me !
I just finished series 3 ace thought it was great. Definitely could have done with fewer scenes with nothing happening, though!Quote:

Looking forward to time bandits on apple TV.
LOL! I actually noticed it trying to set up subtitles for my Mrs on Disney+ for The Bear difficult to do for this dinosaur but even more difficult when there is no dialogue Noticed going through Series 3 there are lots of monologues will probably end up getting nominated for another Emmy First class script writingQuote:
