Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I’ve watched the first two episodes of Around The World in 80 Days and it’s not too bad - not 5* but I’d rather watch it than not watch it.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Yep, a definite maybe. And while looking for it on Netflix I came across Stay Close, which also looks as though it may be worth a try.buksida wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 9:03 am Just started another on Netflix called Shadow and Bone which has potential (for me anyway - I know my tastes are divergent from most on here).

Watched the 1st ep and it's pretty much similar to previous Harlan Coben tv adaptations.dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 10:35 amYep, a definite maybe.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
We’ll I saw the series through to the end, but in all honesty it wasn’t a great watch - in fact I only watched the last two episodes last night in the hope that they would be better - sadly they weren’t (IMO).Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 5:03 amI too have watched the first two episodes and I’m finding it goes from really captivating watching, to, not sure this is worth watching, and then back to very good again. Although I’m definitely going to see it through to the end, I don’t think it’s up there with say “Line of Duty”?pharvey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:03 amEach to their own, as my views on the odd movie of late have obviously shown!thecolonel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:30 amI'm 2 eps on and it's not grabbing me.... yet
I will struggle on

It's also had some mixed reviews in the press, but I'm happy enough

Also watched the full series through iPlayer. Can't say it was bad, but did disappoint - got a little strange in places towards the end.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 5:58 am We’ll I saw the series through to the end, but in all honesty it wasn’t a great watch - in fact I only watched the last two episodes last night in the hope that they would be better - sadly they weren’t (IMO).

Quite a wait to go (Sep 2nd) but Amazon has given it a name today. Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Better be amazing. They can't dirty LOTR's name!

Titans
Netflix
I'm not great with shows principally aimed at the teen market - well, for obvious reasons really - but I think I might like this one. I've only watched the first 2 episodes and I'm not ready to commit yet, but it's a definite possible.
Having said that I spent the evening watching a rehearsal for a musical called Kinky Boots, so my judgement might be a bit off kilter at the moment...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
It's pushed everytime I visit Netflix, but for some reason just doesn't appeal. May give it a go in a while, but an infinite amount on the go at the moment - and God only knows how much sport coming up!!dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:19 am Titans

DOPESICK
One of the best drama mini-series I've seen this year. Great performances all round, especially from Michael Keaton(won a Golden Globe) and
Michael Stuhlbarg(Boardwalk Empire) as evil personified Richard Sackler of Purdue Pharma(OxyContin).
The series takes viewers to the epicenter of America's struggle with opioid addiction, from the boardrooms of Purdue Pharma, to a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA. IMDB
