JWL Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland. Totally mental and includes lots of footage that hasn't been shown before (or just forgotten). The people interviewed are extremely forthright, from both sides of the divide. Doesn't look like anything is changing soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous television, first series was panic inducing at times and if anything there are a couple of episodes in series 2 that are even more intense but absolutely brilliant from start to finish and even the cameos are handled brilliantly.

Madjambo21 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I watched dopesick first and found that it goes deeper into the scandal on the legal side. Felt dopesick hits harder on the issue but painkiller is worth the watch. Can be a bit hard at the start of each episode when a real family who have lost someone to Oxy read out the disclaimer (last episodes one got me😭) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Foundation continues to be superb. Yes, there's lots of mystical scientific mumbo jumbo but it's a superb political thriller at heart. Book nerds will probably rage about certain departures from the source material but this is top notch television. Lee Pace and Jared Harris are both superb in their roles.

Biting satire on the modern world, from taking the piss out of the Superhero industry to social media to politics to everything else, no subject is safe. Violent, rude, funny, shocking and action-packed in equal measure. The Boys is the response to people who say "they'd never get away with that these days" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 A spinoff from The Boys, set in a college for superheroes, starts on Prime later this month.

Americana Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Enjoy the Netflix series on the Fury family. Easily one of the most likable sports personalities going, his other half comes off really well in it too. Some cringe clearly moments with his dad slightly bringing down the appeal though.
