    The "Women, Know Your Limits!" sketches are even funnier/more relevant now considering how gender equality is such a hot topic these days. :D

    Tbf, I still put on the Kevin sketches to piss off the teenager in the house. I won't write it off just yet…

    If anyone is travelling to America or Canada anytime soon would recommend Babylon Berlin which recently aired on Sky Atalantic. Yank netflix has both seasons.

    Its basically set in 1929 Germany where a police officer who self medicates who is haunted by WW1 while the Nationalists and communists hover about. Its very interesting. A decent and quick summary below from the wall street journal.

    Is there an Amazon prime movie/tv series recommendation thread as well as this one? I just did a search and didn't find one.

    “Female is real, and it's sex, and femininity is unreal, and it's gender.

    For that to become the given identity of women is a profoundly disabling notion."

    It is actually available in UHD on Netflix. I watched it recently and it has held up quite well.

    It would only be about 2 posts long, so no point.

    I signed up recently for a free trail and will be cancelling shortly.

    There was a general streaming thread set up a while ago but I don't think it was used much.

    I have just binged watched Zone Blanche (Black Spot) series 1 on it and it was really excellent. As good as anything you find on Netflix..

    Seems to me, they are all a much of a muchness. You grab the good stuff.. the rest is just padding and you then have to wait it out for the decent productions to come along.

    Streaming and VOD film recommendations - feel free to bump this if you want, but keep in mind that it is films only.

    There's also a few old thread floating around in the Television forum such as this:
    Online TV Recommendations Netflix, Amazon. Hulu etc.. Again, not much content on Amazon.

    On the topic of hidden gems on Netflix I recently rewatched ‘the pledge’ with Jack Nicholson. Great performance from him as a retiring detective who promises a family that he will find their daughters killer. Worth checking out it you haven’t already.

    Was in the mood for something light and non-taxing so I watched Happy Anniversary last night and I enjoyed it. It's a kind of an indie romantic comedy where a couple try to figure out whether they should stay together on their 3rd Anniversary and how they've gotten to where they are is told in a series of flashbacks. It's pretty slight as a movie that can feel like a set of vignettes at times but it trundles along at a decent pace with some decent comedy in it and the chemistry between the two main actors really helps to give it a bit of life. It's very gentle comedy about the rut couples can find themselves in.

    I watched it last night as well just stumbled across it by chance. Decent easy watch.


    Any thing with Jean-Ralphio won't be too bad :D

    Jay Z on Letterman this month was very interesting as I have never heard Jay Z speak before.


    He also had a chat with Rick Rubin now that would be a person I'd love to see Netflix do a doc on.

    I've just watched The Autopsy of Jane Doe. There was me thinking it was a whodunnit. I'm a bit freaked out now. I enjoyed it though.
