Have just watched the whole season 1 of Auf Wiedersen Pet in about 2 days. Absolutely brilliant TV and for me the best comedy of all time.
Although there are some elements in it that simply wouldn't be allowed in these days it's still a brilliant watch.
I've watched it so many times and it's sitting in the TiVo ready to be watched again, classic tv.Quote:

Certainly one of the best documentaries I’ve seen. MJ has to be one of the(if not) greatest sportsperson of all time.
fantastic footage of a fantastic team.
10/10
I've seen it before (just the once) but started The Sopranos from the beginning this weekend - through season one and the first couple in season two already. What a show that is!
Yeah, I had seen most of it before but Mrs Mibbes didn’t know anything about it, so we went through it, couple of episodes every night, not long finished. It is brilliant. I think the fact it focuses on family - personal or Mafia - but mostly personal, is what makes it so spectacular. Tony is just a middle aged guy struggling with his job, his wife and his kids :greengrinQuote:

Inhuman Resources on Netflix wirh Eric Cantona is pretty good, not a spoiler but he delivers a headbutt halfway through the first episode that rivals his drop kick on the palace fan.
I missed McMafia when it was on first, I’m watching it now and really liking it.
I know a few posters enjoy true crime documentaries. I watched Murder in the Outback on All 4
Watched it all, thought that the girlfriend Joanna came across really cold, and thought it strange that two days after her boyfriends murder/disappearance she was arranging to meet up with another guy, also not speaking to press was raising a few flags, interesting story and the guy that is in jail for it, could he be innocent?Quote:

How did her identification of him ever stand up in court? I found that unbelievable.Quote:

Just watched both series of After Life. Thought it was brilliant.
13th and Who Killed Malcolm X on Netflix were both excellent.
I've been watching loads of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown lately. Great show.
Watched that over the last couple of days. To be honest I didn’t really believe anyone in the documentary! The main defence investigator was very dodgy.Quote:

The Woods on Netflix is good , Dubbed but brilliant , Harlan Coben masterclass again
‘Reckoning’ on Netflix is good. Halfway through and it keeps you changing your mind who the killer is.
I watched the new Spike Lee film on Netflix last night. I hated it. I may have missed the point,though, so I'd be keen to hear the views of others.
The Greg Louganis documentary on Sky on demand was good - he’s the guy that hit his head on the diving board at the 1988 olympics.
Ive been watching it as well. Really good watch. The episode about the Congo was good watch but find it hard that the country was ****ed over so badlyQuote:

Watching Early Doors yet again, very underrated.
Rewatching Banshee just finished S1 forgot how mental the violence is!
Is that the one in the pub? I loved that, is it on Netflix?Quote:

Aye it was very good. Looking forward to part 2 tonight, good that they're showing it over 3 nights.Quote:

I watched the first part of Murder in the Car Park tonight, I honestly can’t believe I’d never heard this story until someone on here recommend the Podcast, Untold: The Daniel Morgan story. It really is an unbelievable story, sadly I don’t think his family will ever get justice.
Watched Everton: Howard’s Way, about Howard Kendall’s team of the mid 80s. Really enjoyed it.
Where did you find this? Loved that Everton team.Quote:

Was on sky, not sure what channel but hopefully downloadable if you search for it. Was well made and interesting.Quote:

Horrible to think of what these young girls experienced and will have to live with for the rest of their lives.
What's even more horrible is that its probably the tip of the iceberg around the world. Paedophiles will target organisations like this everywhere.
It beggars belief that adults who should know better choose to protect them in the name of winning medals rather than protecting children.
If you're looking for a decent detective series, then you could do worse than Cardinal on BBC iplayer.
Finished white lines on Netflix this week, don’t know what to think about it really, enjoyed the story but some of the ‘trouble’ the characters found themselves in along the way was pretty outrageous, soundtrack was great though
Just finished Ray Donovan - really good series. Disappointed to read there is no season 8.
It’s cos they were all in Ibiza, there’s no other place in the world like it. It’s amazing, you’re free to do whatever you like and everyone’s cool about it.Quote:

Just watched it. Jeezo. Tough decision for the boy to make. Noticed in the end credits he got heavily criticised for his choice by other climbers. No climbing experience whatsoever but didn't see what else he could do.Quote:

It was on BBC the other night so should be available on catch up
Neil Baldwin
It's probably an oversimplification on my part but if he hadn't cut the rope both of them would have died. He cut the rope and both survived. He made the correct decision.Quote:

The Dupont de Ligonnes massacre is an utterly bonkers story and I hope it gets resolved one day (no spoilers, but even if you don't/can't watch the show, I recommend reading up about this - it's crazy!).
That's next on my list.Quote:

Just noticed slasher 3 on Netflix ! 2 episodes in , I like all that gory stuff :greengrin
The Boys on Amazon is tremendous!
I’ve just finished that, I couldn’t help feeling that some of them were just the families refusing to accept the most likely explanation, but the French one as you say is bonkers.Quote:

BBC Iplayer for Staged. 15 minute episodes featuring David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
Second that, it's very good.Quote:

Undercover on Netflix, has kept my attention quite well even though it is a dutch programme. :aok:
Good call, was wanting to watch that and forgot it was on, I player it isQuote:

Once Upon a Time in Iraq on the BBC iplayer is superb.
Finished Slasher season 3 last night was great :top marks
Down to earth with Zac Efron, really enjoyed this bit hippy at times questionable banter but I liked it.
Great movie starting now on C4, Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri
Cracking film really enjoyed thatQuote:

Watched The Matrix again recently and it was as good as j remember it. Arguably the greatest Sci-Fi film of all time.
I've been watching The Story of God with Morgan Freeman on Netflix.
It's not particularly heavy hitting but it's quite an interesting watch.
Brilliant film.Quote:

It is a good film. Plenty of contenders in the greatest sci-fi film category though!Quote:

I agree that nick was definitely the most interesting character in it and I thought that the older woman was going to have a role in what happened early on.Quote:

Have been watching this over the last few nights and just watched this episode now. Crazy stuff!Quote:

New prequel to Sopranos planned Michael Gandolphi due to star in it, its about Tony's dad and Uncle Junior, same writers as well as production team. , Quite excited about it to be honest.
I’ve just started rewatching it, series 1 episode 5, just watched that tremendous College episode where he meets up with the rat.Quote:

I watched the matrix in the cinema on Lothian Road and just as it hit the dojo fight scene the fire alarm went off, was ragingQuote:

Started the Wu-Tang documentary on Sky - well worth watching. I’m only one episode in but it’s on a par with The Defiant Ones so far.
Watched the second series of What We Do In The Shadows. Thought the film was quite good, first series had its moments but was a bit disappointing. Second series was much better IMO. An easy watch for half an hour.
Don’t know anything about Wu Tang Clan other than discovered the other day that Cheese from The Wire is actually a rapper and that’s his band. Every day is a school day.Quote:
