Worth a watch In Order of Disappearance (Prime)
Anyone trying A Murder at the End of the World?
Yep. Watched first 2. Thought it was pretty good. Not as out there as The OA but watchable for sure. Bit of Ex Machina about it.
Finished The Bear S2 (now get the T-shirt ref). S3 apparently in development so very much looking forward to that. Carmy appears to have burned ALL his bridges whilst trapped in the fridge 🙂
Meant to say, For All Mankind is back for Season 4. All good
We''ll be renewing our lapsed apple TV sub for that, plus Slow Horses (S2&3) and Silo at Xmas when offspring are home.
Enjoyed Severance too... although I can't get it out of my head that the lead character is played by some random actor wearing an ill-fitting Tom Cruise mask!

Not that ZOOLANDER MADE THIS???
Is the boat on BBC worth sticking with? Wasn't taken by the first episode.
Anyone trying A Murder at the End of the World? I’m positive after one episode
Aye,heard them chatting about it on 6music and thought it sounded ok.
In other news, Mrs FH (after reading a review at the time of Matthew Perry's obituary),bought Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (Prime).
I have watched a few and the Perry/Bradley Whitford double act works well,good if you liked the whole West Wing style.
and back on Netflix, Suburraeterna.
If you liked Suburra you'll like this as it picks up the story a few years later with the characters who were still alive at the end of Suburra. Rome from street strife to the vatican via politics, gangsters and their families. And if you didn't like suburra I'm out of things to say.
Captain Fall is worth a watch on Netflix - some real 'wtf - did they just do/say that?' moments 😂
Another vote for justified. We watched the recent new series Justified:city primeval thinking it was standalone and then we're delighted to find we had a load of series to watch from the beginning
Remember ‘into the night’?
The sun goes postal and the only way to escape is to go underground or hijack a plane and try to outrun the solar radiation.
Still waiting for Netflix to air season three.
Watched E1 of BBC's Kin last night. Now I like a bit of gangland action but this one is based around a bunch of wholly unlikeable characters with the exception of two that I don't care about anyway. Won't be watching anymore, but others might like it.
I thought this was brilliant last night.
Uncharted.......... What a pile of utter shite.
I thought it was alright as a family film
Is anyone else finding they have to have subtitles on to hear the dialog clearly now? Even my daughter who has no excuse for poor hearing has to do this. It seems that there is now such a large range in volumes that if you don't want to be blasted at random moments you have to turn things down to the point you can't actually hear. It's a real pain 🙁
Anyone watched Dark Winds?
Saving it for xmas day, after the sprouts.
New Fargo is brilliant but annoyingly it's being drip fed on prime so I've had to renew my subscription
Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jon Hamm FFS
Although the scene from 1700s Wales went over my head, I'll have to rewatch
Late to the party but just finished 'mindhunter' on Netflix after being on my watch list for years
I'm gonna say 'meh'. The music was good and some of the montage editing sequences were enjoyable, and I liked the bill tench character but it suffered from being unfinished like Deadwood. And a flat, possibly on the spectrum lead character is uninspired. Plus you knew they weren't going to catch BTK in 1980.
Crazy that bill tench's wife is Tim's love interest in the Office UK. You'll never guess
I've watched the first 2 episodes of Pine Gap - sort of spy/political drama set in Australia.
Seems good so far although I note that Netflix cancelled it after only one series.
Lessons in Chemistry is also very good.
Seconded.
Justified:city primeval
Is that like normal Justified but with dinosaurs added? Sounds good.
Is anyone else finding they have to have subtitles on to hear the dialog clearly now?
Not quite, but it's a real hassle - I basically have to adjust the volume on the fly depending on whether it's dialogue or bang/ crash type stuff. Hoping a decent soundbar will help with it
a flat, possibly on the spectrum lead character is uninspired.
The whole point of his character was that he was on the spectrum.
Agree with new Fargo recommend. My perfect type of TV. I even like the weekly releases (it comes out on Tuesdays). Perfect blend of tension, humour and violence. MORE!
Anyone watched [b]Leave The World Behind[/b] ? Great cast, decent story line (interestingly, executive produced by the Obamas... "Vote for [i]him[/i] again and this could happen?!") I liked it.
Anyone watched Leave The World Behind
Thought the storyline was innovative but the last 30 min was a letdown, they run out of ideas.
Having missed it when it came out, I have just started on Deutschland 83 on Ch4. Very good so far.
Anyone watched Leave The World Behind
Keen to try this, may save it for Xmas tho.
Dunno how new this is, but I set up ITV X the other day and have watched a few episodes of the Alan Carr sitcom Changing Ends. It's really nicely done, warm and funny. Recommended.
They also now have my all-time fave comedy 30 Rock.

(hopefully not too spoilery 🙂 )
I spent the last 30 mins thinking how are they going to save this?? I like the ending how it was... Worked for me.
Watching series 2 of Hidden Assets on BBC iplayer, pretty good so far.
Blue Eye Samurai is an absolute masterpiece, completely enthralled by it...
they run out of ideas.
In the book that its based on; what's going on in wider world isn't explicitly detailed, so I guess whatever the film makers decided to do, they wrote themselves. Waiting for Xmas to watch it along with MayDecember
Mostly enjoyed Leave the World behind - it was uneven for me. Talky stuff spliced with octane stuff didn't always balance out for me, though it had a nice ring of suspense to it. Ethan Hawke's character was oddly bland.
Some great camera work and lighting. Produced by the Obamas.
It reminded me of Melancholia - which is a much stronger entry to the 'weird-apocolypse-vibe' genre. Also not disimilar to Cabin at the End of the World, which I enjoyed too - also in that genre.
Agree with much of the, rone 🙂
Ethan Hawke’s character was oddly bland.
Weirdest bit was when the girl said things must come easy to him, like women.. er why would that have ever crossed her mind!?
Yeah, that whole scene was just odd, and could have been snipped.
MattOAB - drink it in, it's a stunning series and 86 and 89 are brilliant also
If you like that then I'll bet you'll like The Lives Of Others but leave that for another time separate to the series' because it's a similar topic
I'm doing slow horses catch-up, very good
it was uneven for me.
Definitely. Felt like it needed to lead up to some kind of reveal, but that never arrived. Too many relaxed and jolly chit-chats between characters at points when you felt most sane people would have been in a state of utter panic or despair.
Enjoying Fargo though, back on form, all the leads are great.
