Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Another new series (especially) for Brits, is a drama on ITV called “A Spy Among Friends” starring Damien Lewis and Guy Pearce (amongst other notable faces) and based on the 1960’s spy scandal of Kim Philby working as a KGB spy. Only watched the first episode (of 6) so far, but it looks ok.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Yes, one I've seen advertised and like the look of. It's available on the new UK streaming service "ITVx" - it's a freebie with adverts, but a paid "advert free" upgrade with additional shows/movies is available - not something I'll be paying for, but it may be worth looking at the freebie version with a (UK) VPN in Thailand to see if it works.....thecolonel wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 2:03 pmYes as mentioned a few posts above by Sateeb.Dannie Boy wrote:Another new series (especially) for Brits, is a drama on ITV called “A Spy Among Friends” starring Damien Lewis and Guy Pearce (amongst other notable faces) and based on the 1960’s spy scandal of Kim Philby working as a KGB spy.

Has anyone seen the mini series "Dopesick" from Hulu? Is it worth watching?

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
It’s how I keep some form of sanity - without the VPN I don’t know what I’d do - ok I know others subscribe to various Thai TV facilities although with varying degrees of hiccups, but for me the VPN is the best (and relatively cheap) solution - problems are relatively few and far between .pharvey wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 11:27 amIn Thailand - Overseas - VPN?

New series of Silent Witness begins tonight…… hope it goes back to its roots and forgets its recent wokeness
Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Just started 1883 which is a prelude to Yellowstone, if you liked that and westerns in general, you'll like this.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13991232/
In the same genre, and part of the same story is 1923 with Harison Ford. Haven't started it yet, but it looks good.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18335752/
Another one I'll be starting soon is Mosquito Coast, a series based on the superb 1986 movie, which was based on the book.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041132/
Also downloaded the Mayor of Kingston which could be worth a look.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11712058/
All are available on eztv, which also has a handy list and countdown to upcoming series: https://eztv.re/countdown/

It's turning into a binge watch. Dammit buksi, sci-fi, westerns, bikes; I don't want to make pharvey jealous, but I think I love you...buksida wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 10:45 am Just started 1883 which is a prelude to Yellowstone, if you liked that and westerns in general, you'll like this.

[EDIT] Need to rewatch/restart Yellowstone before venturing into 1883 - certainly looks good though!!
I made the mistake of rewatching/starting "Lost" (the series, not the Forum member) the other night..... Bloody hooked again!!

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
It is good, but you don't need to watch Yellowstone again, or for the first time.
