Very much enjoyed the first three episodes of season 2 of Paradise on Disney+.

 

Weekly episodes for the season of the season is a bit nippy though. 

 

Have watched the first 4.  Pretty good but it doesn't half jump all over the place.

Mr Mercedes on Netflix - 3 episodes in and it's very good. 

3 seasons of 10 episodes in total so good for a while.

I need to get back onto this.  I watched the first 4 (I think).  The impact scene at the job fair was really well done but then I felt it really slowed down.

The Pitt is probably the best show on telly the now. Hasn't been (legally) watchable over here yet but will be when HBO is available here at the end of the month. Never really bothered with yank medical dramas but this one hits the spot. Every episode has so much to it.

It is absolutely amazing tv.

R.J. Decker seems quite good after the first two episodes. Scott Speedman plays the main character in the series, based on a book by Carl Hiaasen

 

R.J. Decker is a disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida.

Might give that a go, as quite enjoyed Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughan last year which was also based on a Hiaasen book.

After this I watched the first two episodes and it is good. 

 

 

Scarpetta -amazon prime video. Very slow and could not keep my focus. I switched off around half way through the first episode

Yeah, i tried Scarpetta and wasn't too bothered about it. I think i made it through two episodes but wasn't really paying much attention.

There’s a big backlash against Scarpetta from the fans of the books. Jamie Lee Curtis’ character is supposed to be a feisty younger sister and Scarpetta herself is a short Italian looking woman. The biggest gripe though is that Curtis has had the premise rewritten to shoehorn herself into it.

Well worth a watch imho.

Mr Inbetween 

Aussie comedy crime drama about a hitman and his day to day life. Pretty funny but pretty dark as well. 

Posted

Live-action Manga adaptation One Piece returns to Netflix for its 2nd season, with filming for Season 3 already underway.
A crew of misfits band together to adventure around the world as pirates in a crazy fantasy setting.

The absolute gold standard for live action Manga adaptations. Casting is spot on, costumes and camera shots are lifted directly from the original Manga and the set pieces are very well choreographed.

If you like a bit of silly fun, this is for you.

Flagged this up before a classic, maybe say it was a black comedy, but brilliant from the off

Its absolutely brilliant. I've nearly finished the lot. There is a film as well. I haven't watched that but i probably should've watched it first as it came out before the series.

Films not so good.

Loved the tv show and then watched the film, film was made years before on a low budget so it was a bit disappointing.

Yeah, i was just reading about it. Started out with a budget of $3000 (Australian) and filmed in 10 days. It was then picked up by someone else and they re-released it with a budget of $330,000. I'll give it a watch anyway.

The guy that plays Ray has a scary smile. He reminds me a bit of Steve Buscemi

The 3rd season of The Capture on BBC is pretty good so far. I'm two episodes in, but unfortunately it's only an episode a week and not all available at once on the iPlayer.

I’ve recommended this before, but just in case someone has missed it

 

Animal Kingdom, every season is on Netflix

 

A quite brilliant series, was devastated when the last episode ended, wanted it to just keep going on and on, couldn’t get enough of it.

 

Was exactly the same when Vikings ended😭

Is this the thing with the cousin , brothers etc / criminals - weird Mum ? 
 

Sure I watched first 3 back in the day and it stopped for some reason - worth picking back up mate ?

I’ve not seen the film, although I’m not sure I’d love it, after becoming so attached to the people playing the characters in the tv show. Andrew(Pope) is my favourite character, brilliant. He’s in the new movie coming out called Ready or Not 2

I love it. The best medical drama I've ever seen, not that I've really watched many. It's about the only thing i watch without taking my eyes off the screen at all.

Just watched succession on HBO, really good.

Highlight is when one of Logan Roys sons buys him Hearts for his birthday when he's a Hibs supporter

A strange thing in that I am working my way through Silent Witness and it is not anywhere near realistic with loads of plot holes with so many predictable plots but I cant stop watching it. 

 

It is crap but I keep watching it. I think I need help.

Just started watching DTF St. Louis with Jason Bateman and the Da out of Stranger Things, David Harbour. It's a sort of Who dunnit? after Bateman is found to have been having an affair with Harbour's wife and then someone is found deed.

 

Episode 3 gave me a proper did that just happen?! Laugh out loud moment :lol:

 

Really enjoying it so far.
