I’m watching Honour on STV player. It’s heartbreaking.

It was excellent.

Im just getting to the last episode of series 5, it’s the best one IMO. Stephen Graham puts in a truly great performance.

Stephen Graham is an outstanding actor.

I’m 3 episodes in and really enjoying it. It’s pretty mental though! A mish mash of pulpy genre stories, whether horror or fantasy - inspired by HP Lovecraft.

There is a through line to the story but each episode is pretty much a new story too. Each inspired by a different horror/fantasy theme I think.

Defo worth a look but won’t be everyone’s cup of tea

Think I’ve had 3 attempts at finishing the first episode but only made it about 40 minutes in, just after the car chase where they appear to hint at the weirdness to come. Maybe the fact the episode was really slow, but just can’t get into it.

Halfway through season 1 of The Man In The High Castle, enjoying it so far.

***Hibrandenburg*** · 03-10-2020 10:29 PM

Really enjoying Criminal UK and Criminal Germany. Netflix own production with the same set used in several different countries. Germany has just edged it so far.

I’m really enjoying cobra Kai just now and I’m unsure why, acting is Ham at best, the karate is terrible but for some reason I’m hooked! I’ve been struggling with long episodes recently so maybe the short episodes and easy to tune out watching it is the reason.

Also been in and out of Eastbound & Down which is very funny and very silly rolled into one typical with will Farrell involvement I think

***Moulin Yarns*** · 04-10-2020 09:45 AM

A film that I can thouroughly recommend on Netflix

Enola Holmes, I think it has potential for a series as well.

This is England, what a performance. His Desert Island Discs from last year is a good listen, still on the iPlayer. Some great stories.

Really good ‘family film’ that’s an easy and enjoyable watch.

Based on the first of a series of books I believe so fully expect them to turn these into a rolling franchise style film series.

The lead actress (or is it just actor these days?) is 9 from stranger things and is still only 16.

Always amazes me how good someone can be at such a young age and how odd it must be to have essentially ‘made it’ before you even leave school!!

I knew who she was but was thrown by the accent until I looked her up and realised she is English.

She's Eleven in Stranger Things. Sorry for being pedantic. 😬

I've just finished season 1 of cobra Kai. Loved it.

Good mix of action, cheesy humour, nostalgia, and a great soundtrack.

Thanks for that. Thought I'd missed a series!

She was really good in a music video for Sigma from a few years back.

Aha knew I would get that wrong

There was a number 009, but it was a boy who could burn things. 😂

Watched An American Murder on Netflix.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Cant understand what drives people to commit such unspeakable acts!

It's a tough watch but fascinating bit of TV

Just finished this. Even though I had heard about the story and listened to a couple podcasts about it. Made me feel absolutely sick. Found it to be a tough watch.

Just watching the UK one, have to say I’m finding Raj from the Big Bang Theory as a bad guy very unsettling.

I recently watched the UK ones. The French version looks promising too (good actors), but I'm having a break before watching it in case it gets too samish.

***HibbyAndy*** · 06-10-2020 12:30 PM

Just started 'the third day ' Bit strange but will see how it goes

Watched that last night, not easy for an actor to shake off stereotyping but he did a decent job. They've managed to pull in some big names for the bad guys.

I've watched all the available German episodes and was surprised that each country isn't using the same storylines adapted to their audience.

The last German episode was eerily similar to the Mira Hindley case.

***lord bunberry*** · 06-10-2020 11:14 PM

I started watching 2 weeks to live last night. It’s decent comedy that had me laughing out loud a few times.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 07-10-2020 10:14 AM

How to survive a murder on SKY Crime, not the easiest of watches but, quite moving nonetheless.

**wpj** · 11-10-2020 11:09 PM

THE mole infiltrating North Koria on BBC iplayer is extraordinary, cant recommend it enough

That is one of the best investigation/documentaries I think I've ever seen, both those guys have balls of titanium for doing that

Everyone should give this a watch

***Future17*** · 13-10-2020 07:41 AM

Has anyone watched much of Carnival Row? I watched the first episode last night and not sure about it. I'll watch a few more as too early to judge it but wondered what others' thoughts were.
