Just finished Schitts Creek, anything else light-hearted to become addicted to?

Have you watched Community? If not, I'd recommend that.

Did anyone watch Last Days of American Crime yet?

Yes I watched most of it, only for Covid boredom I would have stopped at 5 mins. Netflix drew me in the with the storyline description.. a dystopian thriller with cyber espionage and a heist thrown in with lashings of red red krovvy flowing and snappy dialogue. The sound production was woeful and it was generally just a load of sh1te.

Finally finished all of Fauda. While I struggled to get into it at the start I did end up enjoying it and liked season 2 the best. I was annoyed with the sheer ineptitude of the Palastenian commandos in season 3 but that's how it always finishes on cliffhangers I suppose. The series very much reminded me of watching 24.

I have moved onto Broken. A BBC drama with Sean Bean as a Catholic priest consoling his troubled parishioners. Adrian Dunbar and Anna Frial are in it too so great cast so far. Just two episodes in at the moment.

Gloomtastic!

It’s so dark but brilliant at the same time. Enjoy!

Looking forward to that. Dont think I ever watched season three previously. Will start from the start

It’s a gem of a series.

Friday and backdraft on Irish netfkix.

Friday is brilliant, had it on vhs years ago and just constantly rewatched it as a young lad.


Heard believe its 25 years old.

I have Friday and Menace to Society in my to watch list.

Queen of the south is absolutely brilliant. There’s 4 seasons on Netflix so it’s great for binge watching.

ps James is gorgeous.

Man Vs ManUre

I thought the 1st season was ok, but gave up half way through the 2nd. Am a big fan of Narcos, El Chapo and all things Mexican gangsters but just found this QOTS a bit too lightweight and fluffy.

Stumbled across a trailer for this a while ago and thought it looked like it might be ok in an ultra violent 80s b-movie sort of way.

I didn't realise a thread got closed after 10,000 posts. I was wondering why I hadn't gotten any notifications in a while!

Anyway, just finished watching " Trump: American Dream" last night. it's been on Netflix for a while but only got around to watching it over the weekend. The 4 part series gives a revealing insight into the mind of the man, I'm surprised he hasn't had it pulled by now!

Watched Friday the other night. hadn't seen it in 20 years. was good fun tbh. some great moments.

watched operation odessa after someone recommended it to me. crazy gangster documentary about some dudes buying a russian military submarine for a colombian cartel. great fun. well worth a watch.

Must have been. Only watched it Saturday. Never realised O-Dog was councilman Tate out of Power.

Seems like a lot of stuff disappeared from my watch list today, must have been a few things removed. Was near the end of life on mars but it seems to be gone, it was only added fairly recently too I think?

Weird, must be an issue with the app on my phone. Was watching it on the tv earlier with no issues.

Reality Z sounds like Dead Set by Charlie Brooker. Google tells me this is because it is an adaptation of Dead Set. It gets under 5 on IMDB, which is bad. Dead Set is good, and is more relatable because we're more familiar with British reality TV.
