The legend of vox machina is amazing.
Arcane, whilst not new, is almost a 10/10.
Currently watching The Last of Us, so far it's a pretty good adaptation of the game.

Finished "The Consultant" on Prime; rather surreal but Christoph Waltz is as good as ever, doing a version of his usual character.
I found the F1 series on Netflix tough going, but some friends with little interest in motor racing love it.

I've been watching this on Netflix and strangely enough quite enjoying it :)

Enjoying the first episode of The Gold at the moment.
The whole of a New Order track before the title doesn't hurt for me!

Star Trek: Picard is actually going very wel for this the final season. The third episode this evening was a cracker!
Yeah, today’s episode is wonderful!

I’ve started rewatching Prime Suspect (1990s) on ITV Hub and they’re really good although quite long winded at two x 2 hours.

Slow Horses. Gary Oldham in great form, he gets better and better. Didn't get on with the book, but really enjoyed TV series.
I just found Lexx the crazy 1999 sci-fi series on Prime. I watched it in the early 2000's and loved it. The effects are a bit dated as expected but the characters are great: Stanley Tweedle the cowardly Security Guard Grade 4, Giggerota the cannibal, Kai the dead guy - last of the Brunnen G (memorably said "the dead do not poo"), ZEV - part slut/part cluster lizard and her paramour 790 the robot head.
A sci-fi classic
Just discovered ‘Mayor Of Kingstown’ on Paramount.
Really good.

I'd avoid the dubbing (unless you can ignore that kind of thing done badly) and if you have no objection to subtitles (or have acceptable understanding of Spanish) then the following crime/thriller/detective on Netflix are worth watching
Films:
THE BAZTAN TRILOGY
"Invisible Guardian"
"Legacy of the Bones"
"Offering to the Storm"
Series:
Vivir Sin Permiso (Unauthorised Living)
Mar di Plastico (Plastic Sea)
O sabor das margaridas (Bitter Daisies)
Entrevías (Wrong Side Of The Tracks)
¿Quién Mató a Sara? (Who Killed Sara?)
Stop the press…
Just discovered a show from my childhood on ITV…
Monkey.

We randomly came across North Sea Connection on iplayer, which sounds unassuming and boring from the title but very gripping once you watch the first episode. It’s essentially a six part drama about Irish drug trafficking.

Match of the Day should be worth a peep tomorrow!
Yes, forgot that one. And 'The Water Margin' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0227975/
I used to love the Water Margin, but Monkey just seemed like gibbering nonsense.

Currently watching Dopesick which so far is excellent, if heavy.
Latest series of Picard, excellent so far and getting better.
The latest episode was superb, no spoilers, but it was like one of the old TNG episodes, except with modern production.
Hopefully the series will bring fitting closure for the cast from the golden era of Star Trek.

Bloodline on Netflix is good. Season 1 is the best but 2 and 3 worth watching too.
Just finished Formula 1: Drive to Survive which I really enjoyed. No interest in F1 before and now going to start following it. Chuffed as I needed a new hobby!

Not new, but new to me. A decent Sci-fi series called "Dark Matter" showing on one if the Fred channels on the Firestick.
monkey magic and the water margin brings back some old memories , any one that remembers them should know where this still is from

Monkey was Irrepressible!
I mentioned a couple weeks ago I had returned to watching Orange is the New Black (2013-2019). I just finished the final season (#7) after binge-watching 3-4 episodes per night. It's an excellent series, with brilliant casting, innovative plots, plenty of drama, and the acting is top notch. I just wish the pandemic hadn't gotten in the way. Highly recommended!

I watched The Piano recently. It was very good. On channel four I think.
Can't resist sorry

Just finished watching 'Barry' on NowTV pretty good once you get into it.
but 'Django' series is well dreadful
MONKEY WAS IRREPRESSIBLE! :thumbsup:
Like Barry.
From the same team who made West World. I'm two episodes in and hooked!
Daisy Jones and the six must have been mentioned, this thread came up in a search
Only 1 episode in but it's great so far.
Got 6mth free trial with Apple TV at Chrimbo, So trying to find good stuff to binge by Mid June.
just watched ‘Ted Lasso’ S1&S2, really good, can see why it’s so highly rated on IMDB.
Was about to say the same thing, after two episodes back to back. Lovely to look at with soft, nostalgic photography, beautiful colour grading and a great sense of time and place. But crucially it sounds great too, they’ve made sure that this fictional legendary band sounds like a band who can really play. Lots of other lovingly curated music of the era too. Billy Dunne makes a surprisingly old teenager ;-) But no complaints, they’re all good. Looking forward to the rest, fingers crossed it keeps it up.
Anyone watching Jerk?
It is great for people who like over-tbhinking stuff. The premise is a bunch of people with various disabilities/syndromes/afflictions who for various reasons find themselves exploiting/using to the full society's desire to be as inclusive as possible with reference to the less able-bodied.
To put it another way, we are expected to laugh at the situations they find themselves in. That in real life would be appalling, but here we have a bunch of physically-challenged actors and writers who presumably very much hope that we will laugh at them.
I certainly do.
The main guy (and co-writer) Tim Rencow has cerebral palsy (and his movements presumably gave rise to the title) and is not that easy to understand, most likely because he is Mexican in reality. He plays a perfect lead in what is to a large extent a tick-the-cliché exercise.
Tempted? Track down episode 3.1. Watch it, spot the promising actor who could well be snapped up for starring roles with the right exposure, and then report back.
I was delighted to see Jerk return.
I am new to it Matthew; the first few minutes I was embarrassed at my propensity to laugh at the misfortunes of others.
Then it dawned on me that I was reacting just how they intended me to, so I forgave myself.
By the way, if watching it be prepared for some ripe language!
Just finished 2nd series of Your Honor, very good
Just watched The Night Agent on Netflix- thoroughly enjoyed it. Great script, cracking action, good acting.
New (final) season of Succession starts tonight on Sky - this is a great series!
Just watched the first episode of Blue Lights on BBC1. Very gritty, I would assume realistic, and very well acted. Looking forward to the next five episodes.
