ChrisIB Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Obi-Wan Kenobi Slow with a morose main character, 'I'm not the man I was 10 years ago'. Better than The Book of Boba Fett, not as good as the Mandalorian. 7/10 The Orville season 3 The Star Trek alternative seems to have more ideas and be better written than say the wincingly bad second season of Picard. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Gibbon Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Tokyo Vice season 1 Loosely based on the real life of Jake Adelstein, the American journalist and author who has spent most of his career in Japan. The series follows him from his first days of idealisms after getting a job working for a major Japanese newspaper and the disillusionment as he comes into contact with the violence of the Yakuza gangs and the corruption of the police and journalists who turn a blind eye to it in order to keep the peace.

ChrisIB Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Archangel BBC mini series from 2005. Daniel Craig plays a history professor in search of some of Stalin's documents. Twisty Russian set thriller that gives the original series of Condor a run for it's money. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wanted There’s 3 seasons and I’ve binge watched the first series. So far I’ve enjoyed watching it. Wanted reminds me of the film Thelma and Louise with a more modern day outlook. Two innocent women are on the run from corrupt policemen. All 3 seasons are on Netflix.

nikki-red Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Black Bird. Really enjoyed this, great cast, really well written and acted. Reminded me of Mindhunter in a way. Based on a true story too. RIP Ray Liotta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Have been watching the adaptations of Robert Galbraith's Strike books. They're excellent, despite a tiny wee bit of slightly dodgy casting, and the middle two - The Silkworm and Career Of Evil - desperately needed another episode, at least, to fully do justice to the plot. It's a good thing that I'd read the (also excellent) novel or I would have lost my place during the latter. Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger are fantastic as Strike and Robin. Looking forward to the next one (and the new book, The Ink Black Heart, out in a few weeks' time). Edited August 6, 2022 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThaBoom Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Christian This recently began on Sky Atlantic and I wasn't sure what to expect - but sounded interesting and I do like Italian dramas. The main character is a henchman (named Christian) for a local criminal named Lino, who is also like a father figure to him. When Christian starts to struggle using his hands every time he is about to hit or hurt someone- it turns out his purpose might not actually be hurt ppl but cure them. Six episodes and definitely worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Ozark Ozark is about a financial adviser who has to move his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks. The family has to launder 500 million dollars for a sadistic drug dealer if they want to stay alive. I’ve become addicted to this show. There are 4 seasons and I’m over half way through season 3 which so far is the best season. Can’t wait to see how it ends so I’ll just have to carry on binge watching.

Its a great series that doesn't end in a particularly satisfactory way worth sticking with though. Just finished season 3 of The Boys, very good and very adult.

I suppose I’ve come this far so I’ll stick with it then moan about the end when I get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
