Amazon Prime Film/TV Series Recommendations

I watched that film couple of nights ago. I thought it was excellent. Had everything I wanted. Bit of a thriller, bit of mystery. And not knowing where it was going until the end. I’ve seen Chris Pine in couple of movies recently - the finest hours, the contractor, he’ll or high water. He’s a much better actor than I had ever thought. I had put him down as one of those leading man lady charmers. But I was wrong.

i needed a new chromcast and splashed out on the dear one "google Tv" and it has utterly transformed my Prime viewing, it just seems to bring the better movies out onto the main screen, i can never find anything on the prime app itself worth watching,

I don’t think they have it. Certainly did not come up when I searched.

Commonly asked, some shows have duplicate blocks for whatever reason that won't list a particular season so just search for item instead and you should get what your after.

I remember being pretty adamant that there was no real need for a second season of Undone but turns out I was very very wrong. The second season managed to elevate the show to sit alongside my all time favourites and now I'm already anticipating a third season (which I really hope we do get as it's yet to be officially renewed).

I'm not a big fan of most US based comedy/drama shows, the cutesy smart assed humour is toe curling puerile bo!!ox in general. Hacks shows how to entertain with real characters and not an ounce of schmaltzy twee drivel in sight. Excellent dialogue, depth of character, unhinged relationships and odd plot twists makes it a refreshing antidote to everything else from the US for me. 4 episodes at a time flys by like a feed of Guinness on a Friday night.

If you like sci-fi, i'd definitely say yes! I was the same with season one, I watched the first few episodes, then left it for a couple of years, but once I went back I tore through the rest and really enjoyed.

The new Candyman is absolutely dreadful.

Yeah pretty good, suffers from that annoying lack of lighting that some shows do for style. Think it would have been a lot more tense with only 6 episodes but 8 still satisfying enough.

Also found this about Hacks, a severe lack of humour in it. Stopped about there and didn't go back to it.

Paper Girls - Teaser Trailer

It will be back in a few years, zero chance they are going to stop making them, they are still hugely popular and profitable. I know the film's are of hugely variable quality.

Always interesting to see who they pick to play him. Watching Slow Horses I think Jack Lowden could be a really good shout.

Watched Birds of Prey with the Harley Quinn tag line movie, A pretty dumb flick! the compliment I can give it is it shades Justice League and Suicide Squad which were all kinds of rubbish.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the most interesting character but it wasn't until like the last third she entered the fray and by then I'd concluded it wasn't up to much and even at that she plays a girl who was left an orphan after her family is murdered who then trains to her adult years to become a bold natured vigilante (I think I may have seen this one before like!).

The Birds of Prey are very much the supporting cast so the title of the picture is even a misfire.

The casting of Margot Robbie as Harley Q you cannot argue with if alone for all the Halloween outfits based on her potrayal but this is seriously a shocking outing for her, not all her fault of course whoever came up with those monologues/narration that was either bland or outright annoying, bloody hell!

Yeah, I loved Birds of Prey, reminded me a lot of Tank Girl - a proper over the top fun comic movie.

I didn’t expect much from it, and it was a very pleasant surprise.

if ever an service needed a redesign
