Following a recommendation from family in Australia we've been getting into Rake. It's a black comedy drama about a barrister who's a disaster, lots of swearing and boozing plus some really good guest actors. Hugo Weaving stars in the first episode as a cannibal. Lots of laugh out loud moments and theres plenty of episodes up if you happen to get into it
SO I cheated and read the wiki on where things have ended up, and...
decided to post spoiler? In the future, the urban mythology of similar 'outrage pron' documentaries will reference your behaviour as 'shock-blocking' ☹️

Gah! Quite right, hadnt thought of it like that. Report my post for swearing or adblocking or something and see if a Mod can redact!
Narcos Mexico is really good. If you enjoyed the original Narcos series then you'll like this. It's a spin off but there are some cameo appearances too.

just started this last night after reading this recommendation and really enjoying it. i can only think of describing it as a 'californication-lite'. a lot of similarities, not quite as much sex or laugh out loud moments, but still very good.
It was only the last section of Buster Scruggs that left me flat, the others were all superb. Especially the Tom Waits one. Wonderful.
Biggest shame was not seeing it on the big screen really, as it was all visually amazing.
I've just discovered Big Mouth, which I'm very much enjoying as a bung on whilst sat on the turbo or for light relief. Finally finished season 3 of Daredevil, which I enjoyed, but just isn't quite grabbing me as much as it used too. I think the Punisher has spoiled me.
Found out that the first series of Ash versus Evil Dead is on Netflix. One more episode to watch. It’s great, over the top b movie fun. A definite watch for fans of Bruce Campbell and the second and third Evil Dead movies.
Just finished “Happy”. Bloody loved that. Funny, violent and weird 😀
Did someone say Happy?
Yeah can’t wait for that.
New series of F is for Family is available.
I can confirm The Silencer is dire
the last section of Buster Scruggs that left me flat
...souls journeying to the afterlife united only by the randomness of their journeys and ignorance of what lies ahead? I thought it tied the preceding chapters together, adding nice dollop of Coen worldview.
Found this last night. The Endless. Its weird, its confusing, its original, its compelling.
We've been working our way through Line of Duty on Netflix, flippin awesome series. The finale for Season 3 was a real edge of your seats show!
Jack Ryan series on prime was great, nothing too deep but very bingeable.
Tried ozark but found it quite boring. It’s a shame because I like the premise and really wanted it to be good.
Just started ‘the Americans’ which I cannot believe passed me by for six seasons. Couple episodes in and it’s Sooo good.

Nope, I saw some people in a carriage, going to a big house.
Started watching the "Masterpiece" that is ROMA. Erm, I'll have to pick up later, cos the first hour I found extremely boring. Best bit was a car tyre squidging some dog shit. I know there's more engaging stuff to come, cos I've seen the stills, but a family cleaner just going about her business, for some reason I don't find that riveting.
I’ve not really given a shite about the footy for years but had a look at ‘Sunderland Till I Die’ tonight and was quickly locked into a full on binge!!
Incredible that the season unfolded the way it did while it was being documented!!
Fantastic stuff. TV gold!!

My wife was a barrister in Oz. She loves it and follows every episode closely.
Reckons it's based on true life, a composite of various characters in the Bar. From what I've seen of Australian barristers, I believe her. 🙂
Talking of the land of nope. Have we done Pine Gap yet?
The desert version of Fylingdales golf balls with drone strikes, chinese spies and subtle sexual tension.
Typical low budget made up for with good acting and Ozzy one liners. Binge watched most of it.
Atypical.
Adelie, Chinstrap, Emporer, Gentoo...
The Bad Batch
Cargo
I don't feel at home in this world anymore
Good time
started watching 'YOU' last night.
was still watching at 1am!! been a while since i was last this gripped on something! great stuff, a little bit Mr Robot / little bit Dexter, but with other intentions! a little far fetched too how easy it is for him to do what he does but its cool and dark and a bit creepy. real binge material.
Murder Mountain (disappearances + weed farms etc ) is a gripping doc, made all the more intriguing by the fact that I sat and had breakfast in Garberville last year with not a clue of the place's problems.
Mahalo, agreed, you is surprisingly good.
Has anyone mentioned Ash Vs Evil Dead yet?
Watched it recently and couldn't believe there hasn't been more fuss about it.
Absolutely brilliant stuff.
cha****ng
Has anyone mentioned Ash Vs Evil Dead yet?
Yup, much better than I expected.
Wev'e just got Netflix & on a recommendation started watching 'Still Game' (which is an ancient Scottish programme that came out in 2002.
Been pissing myself laughing from the start.
Peaky Blinders Series 4 has just arrived on Netflix. 🙂
Marie Kondo tidying up programme. A relief to find people messier than me.
The Italian Suburra spin offs are pretty decent.
Almost done watching Parfum, a German series on Netflix, quite a disturbing theme if you're into that sort of thing.
Trainspotting 2 is on there.
Still Game is class. still my go to if i only have a half hour to fill...
Peaky Blinders Series 4 has just arrived on Netflix. 🙂
lost a lot of credibility this series with that laughable Adrien Brody performance!!
T2 was a pretty thin nostalgia-fest that just lent of it's better predecessor. No wonder it ended up on Netflix
+1 Murder Mountain
Hugely enjoyable if a little saddening. Thst place is stunningly beautiful and bountiful, yet humans 😐

Very disappointed in it. Shoddily put together, embarrassing plot and ironically the overall feel was of an old raver going out again but trying a bit too hard.
Not recommended.
You.
Nice one. Thanks for the tip.
Ash v Evil Dead ... I remember the original film being the scariest film ever. I recently seen a clip of it, and it really was low budget.
But how did it turn into a comedy? (and a very funny one too)
I really cant remember the original being the slightest bit comical!!
My missus has just bin watched 'You' all day.... turned it off as I got in from work..
Any good ?????
Evil dead 1 was serious
Evil dead 2 was semi-serious
Evil dead 3 was for the lolz
After that they just carried on with the comedy.

The original definitely had touches of humour throughout. Also see Drag me to Hell for an example of how Raimi uses humour in his horror films.
They definitely took it to excess in the later ED films, though.
Just watched a couple of episodes of titans, and rather enjoying it.
The Domestics and The night ate the world both good watchable movies. The Domestics owes a lot to Warriors but if you dont mind that its great fun
