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.

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.

Watched the 1st ep and it's pretty much similar to previous Harlan Coben tv adaptations.

Each to their own, as my views on the odd movie of late have obviously shown! :wink: :D It's also had some mixed reviews in the press, but I'm happy enough :thumb:
I 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”?
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).

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.

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! :D

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... :oops:

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!! :thumb:

Was that based on the Nancy Sinatra song. She was beautiful, I will never get to sleep now. :oops: :cheers:
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Truly don't want to spoil you boys Nancy fantasy but it's based on UK film Kinky Boots about a shoe factory about to go bust..

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
