Agree with Yellowstone

Was one of those “well give it a try” and binged watched all the episodes in about 3weeks

Palm Springs just out on Prime , a cross between the hangover and Groundhog Day

Bump

Three recommendations, a bit all over the place.
On netflix,Tell me your secrets" twist after twist serial killer series,very good.
On prime, "Invincible", an anime super hero series.Very good,great voice cast and the end of the first episode will blow at least your socks off.
Also on prime, "Counterpart", a Berlin espionage series with a big difference.Just finished season one and it is damn good.

I was interested in Counterpart, but I am only seeing it available on Starzplay not Prime

Sorry CP, this is Prime in the U.S, I did not realize it was not on prime over there. Our version of netflix has only recently made "The Serpent" available after hearing about it for months from friends and family over there. Strange how streaming sites are different in each country.

indeed - thanks for the recommendation - I suspect I will just have to be patient, it has been added to my watchlist for now

I had the misfortune of watching "pedal the world" a cycling documentary about a young german lad setting off on a long bike ride.
Absolutely nothing happens, no drama,no incidents, badly filmed, terribly edited.
I have more eventful rides along the canal for two hours than this bloke had in his entire trip.

My Octopus Teacher is another winner.A very good watch.

Two Distant Strangers.

Won Oscar for best short live action film this year.

Worth a watch, powerful and thought provoking.

Sound of Metal - on Amazon Prime.

Nominated for best film and best actor for Riz Ahmed at this years Oscar's

A genuinely brilliant film about a man who loses his hearing and the journey he goes through with it.
Riz Ahmed learnt American Sign Language and how to play the drums for this role.

Just watched Seaspiracy. Who knows how much scaremongering there is and some shock/over-exaggeration in prediction is probably involved, there always is. Nonetheless, it's a must for everyone to see. Not for the moral high ground but for education about how dirty and polluted our world is and the true impact on the ecosystem, including us, our seas have. Do we really appreciate the ocean/sea is the most important thing on this planet? Our fight against climate change, viruses, carbon omissions, etc, need to radically change and be directed towards our care for the seas if we are to believe this doc. It's unlikely to happen when the whole world is so corrupt and governments are involved but the plummeting of numbers of fish is truly staggering and quite scary especially the predators. Clearly, the fishing industry has been getting away with all sorts for too long a time. It's made me think about my habits even if I only have fish once a week or so.

seen both series of this and it was ace. surprised there wasn't more hype around it.

j.k. simmons is good in everything.

The Shield on Prime, about a police department in Los Angeles. It's up there with the best shows I've ever watched, and it's not well known at all. Maybe overshadowed a bit because it was out around the same time as the Sopranos and the Wire?

Or get a VPN select USA then sign into Netflix. Hey presto, you get American Netflix.

Not Netflix or Prime, but there are free trials on Apple TV. Ted Lasso is worth a watch on there.

Ted Lasso was ace!

Jupiter’s Legacy hit Netflix the other day. Another superhero series, it’s not bad but not up to The Boys standard imo

I posted on the other netflix thread but I’ll share it here also.
Giri/Hari.
50/50 split Japan & London. Fair bit of subtitles but excellent Yakuza story.
8x1hr episodes that does come to a conclusion, so many don’t.

The devil all the time on Netflix. Great plot set in 1950's hillbilly America. I really enjoyed it.

The book is a million and one times better!!! In fact it's up there as one of the 5 best books I've ever read.

Loved The Shield ..one of my all time favourites.

Spiral..the French cop drama which has 8 series on the BBCiPlayer is magnificent.

Not sure where you can watch Homeland but the last few series are all superb you like espionage/political drama.

I actually thought of you and your parties when I watched episode 6... something about Mrs Sampson and her daughter Chloe...

Right leave that there

Halston

Brilliant six-parter, based on real life events.

Ewan McGregor plays Halston and is simply outstanding!

Just watched The Mauritanian on Prime,what a fantastic story and true...watching this leaves a sour taste ...we should all treat our fellow man with respect difficult for me to express my feelings after watching this...watch it if you can guys and decide for yourselves

Netflix.
Just started a Spanish series The Innocent based on a Harlan Corben story.
Good start. Recommended by my eldest who is usually right.

EDIT.
Binge watched it, outstanding. Every episode gets 8+ on IMDB. A couple of loopholes but by the end they are explained.

I started watching Money heist. One of the best Netflix shows I have seen.

Army of the Dead - Netflix.

Everyone loves a zombie movie.

must admit I do not know anyone who does, including the person in the mirror

Scottish film on Netflix called Calibre.

Really enjoyed it, very gritty, difficult to watch in parts though.

I got through 2 series and when they are still in there I twigged it’s a soap. Binned it, could have been a great show with a conclusion.

'71
Film on prime set in Belfast at time of the title
Brilliant

Not on Prime/Netflix but the Nevers (HBO Max/Sky) has been a very intriguing and worthwhile watch, some great performances and beautifully set/shot - better than Netflix's Shadow and Bone I would say which again was beautifully set and shot

We finished the Nevers last night, although we did think we’d missed an episode between 5 and 6.

It all made sense eventually

Yep it threw me too, but we got there in the end - that final episode opened doors to a massive franchise opportunity though if the audience is prepared to follow

Great, Chester!

Could posters please start by stating what outlet their choice is on.

Underground Railroad on Prime........outstanding & very disturbing.

Snowfall

I think it’s on I player , hugely underrated , small time 80’s “ hood” dealer gets into coke dealing and the early crack days and it’s spliced with a great Narcos style storyline with the ( true ) funding of the contras etc .

For those who have never seen it 70's classic BBC series Tinker, Tailor, Soldier. Spy with the incomparable Alec Guinness is about to start on BBC Four - it should also be on iPlayer too - first 2 of the 7 episodes tonight - an absolute belter for must see in my lifetime list
and for those too young to miss it - yes the country really was this grimy and run down back then

New series of the kominsky method on Netflix now ...worth a watch in my opinion

The show has been potted apparently... Shame as I wanted to see a 2nd season.

Not on Netflix/Prime but if you like Taskmaster, the New Zealand version full series is available to watch on YouTube.

Bump.

Been watching sport for the last month, so any good box series recommendations would be much appreciated
