Ulysses Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Deliver Us - Danish, subtitled - an eight-part psychological thriller about a bunch of people in a small town in Denmark who decide the only way to deal with the local sociopath is to kill him. Bleak, but compelling, with a couple of plot twists including a humdinger right at the end of the second-last episode. Still available on the C4 player. And earlier in the thread someone mentioned Call My Agent - French, subtitled. Much more frothy, it's a show in four (I think) series about the goings on, backstabbing and office politics in a Paris talent agency. Netflix.

Fred Savage seems not to have changed much. I can't watch anything without looking up IMDB, it's quite interesting to see all he's directed. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Other recent arrivals on Netflix are the 2nd season of Lupin and the 3rd season of The Kominsky Method. Kominsky Methodnseems to have flown under the radar for some reason. Very well written and funny sit com about a failed actor who teaches drama and his friendship with his agent. The type of very clever American dialogue that Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin do so well.

Nothing we never knew. Just showed her dad to be the monster he was and Epstein likewise in a different way obviously. Her trial starts in November so that should be interesting if it goes ahead.

Very good so far, but sadly I’ve noticed that it’s also the last season. A series based on Michael Connelly's other main book series, Lincoln Lawyer, is being filmed for Netflix at the moment. I did wonder in an earlier post if Bosch would appear in that too, seeing as there's some crossover in the novels, but I've seen a quote from Connelly that that won't happen as they're on competing sites, Netflix and Amazon.
