I've started the British version "In the Line of Duty"! It has lots of kudos to live up to. But, episode one is captivating. Reply #861. May 20 21, 6:31 PM |

Paul, were you able to get "The Handmaid's Tale"? Angelina Jolie is in a new action thriller film, her first of that genre in some time. Reply #862. May 24 21, 12:26 AM |

Is anyone watching His Dark Materials? It's among the "best shows" but I haven't seen it. Reply #864. May 27 21, 5:12 PM |

I watched it. The second season wasn't as good as the first season and Lord Asriel only made one brief appearance in the final episode. I have higher hopes for the third season, whenever that may arrive. It is on HBO Max. Reply #865. May 27 21, 7:00 PM |

Still it sounds worth watching. At least season 1. Reply #866. May 28 21, 4:32 PM |

"Little Fires Everywhere" with Reese Witherspoon, a 2020 TV series on Netflix. I've only seen the first episode but it's quite good. Reply #867. May 29 21, 11:23 AM |

It's the sort of place you get warned about if you go to another country. It's grimy, drug-dealing, crime-infested, and you wouldn't want your car to break down there. It's Napoli, run by the Camorra, and not an ice cream in sight. It has Don Pietro, Cino, a prison, dead bodies, and subtitles. And it's called Gomorrah. With or without an 'h'. I'm addicted. And I'm only on episode 4! Reply #868. Jun 03 21, 4:55 PM |

Thanks flopsy! "Gomorra". This is a 2014 crime drama which, according to wiki, "...has gained critical acclaim for its characterization, pacing, atmosphere, acting, directing, and writing.." Look like another nail-biter winner. Akin to "Sopranos"? AND there's a prequel-sequel-spinoff (whatever THAT is called), "The Immortals". Reply #869. Jun 03 21, 6:53 PM |

I hear some movie theatres are opening. Some movies are showing only at live theatres, like the new Fast and Furious, after a year on the shelf due to the pandemic. This film releases in the USA June 25. Reply #870. Jun 03 21, 6:58 PM |

"Little Fires Everywhere" with Reese Witherspoon, a 2020 TV series on Netflix. I've only seen the first episode but it's quite good. It's a good story. I have also read the book, by Celest Ng. I am not a fan of Kerry Washington though. Reply #871. Jun 04 21, 12:02 AM |

Yes, I have watched and enjoyed both seasons. I think it's more about Lyra's story, rather than Lord Asriels. Just my opinion though. Reply #872. Jun 04 21, 12:06 AM |

Lord Asriel is from His Dark Materials. Sounds like you stay on top of the best shows Rockstar. What are you watching right now? Reply #873. Jun 04 21, 9:08 PM |

Yip I know. I do feel it's more about Lyra, than him. I am seriously into the documentaries on Netflix at the moment. There are some really good ones on there. I also enjoy fantasy....I am waiting patiently for Season 2 of Locke and Key. I started watching Sweet Tooth the other night. I will see how that goes. The only downside about binge watching, is one has to wait a whole year for the next season! Reply #874. Jun 06 21, 4:41 AM |

Just curious: has anyone checked out "Marcella"? (Netflix) Did you enjoy it? Reply #875. Jun 06 21, 3:01 PM |

Learned something new again, thanks. This "Marcella" is a "British Nordic-noir". Unsure how a show gets to be a British Scandinavian show? But here's the Wiki take on Nordic noir: Wiki: "Nordic noir, also known as Scandinavian noir or Scandi noir, is a genre of crime fiction usually written from a police point of view and set in Scandinavia or Nordic countries...". Descriptors include 1990s, bleak, complex, plain spoken, dark, social criticism. Examples "The Bridge" "The Killing" "Trapped". I liked all of those. Reply #876. Jun 06 21, 10:34 PM |

Anyone watched "The Woman in The Window" on Netflix? It's a really good watch, a thriller starring Amy Adams. I have really enjoyed quite a few documentaries on Netflix. I realise some of them are rather old, but they are programs we never got to see in South Africa, so new for me! :) Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich One of Us - about the Hasidic Jewish community in NY - really interesting. Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez The Pharmacist - about the opioid epidemic in USA. There are some amazing people in the world, and this guy (Dan Schneider) is one of them. Three Identical Strangers The College Admissions Scandal Surviving R. Kelly Trial 4 The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez Pele Murder Mountain The Last Days - Hungarian Holocaust Survivors Murder Among the Mormons Elizabeth & Margaret: Love and Loyalty and most recently, A Lion in the House a tough watch to be honest. I tried watching 'Abducted in Plain Sight' but it's such a ghastly story I had to abandon it I'm afraid. Reply #877. Jun 08 21, 4:43 AM |

After I saw "Jeffrey Epstein, Filthy Rich",. I wanted to throw up. Reply #878. Jun 09 21, 12:01 AM |

@paulmallon have you tried watching Abducted in Plain Sight. That is such a sickening tale, I could not finish watching it. Reply #879. Jun 09 21, 4:26 AM |

There's a new documentary about the British prince Harry and his wife Meghan and new family, with (non?)royalty born in the USA for the first time in...a while. No reason for a sick stomach therel Their son Archie is adorable Reply #880. Jun 09 21, 5:49 PM |
