I didn't use it but now not sure if that would do it, perhaps some more knowledgeable know.
Well, a VPN should work as it hides your IP address. This of course unless your landlord picks up on the fact that you are using one - try a freebie to see if it works. Plenty on the VPN thread.

Have just finished the first season of "Reacher" on Amazon, but will no doubt be available on the usual suspects - Season 2 already underway as I hope several more will be. The first season was 8 episodes in total - well worth the watch.

Whilst Tom Cruise did a fine job in the movies, he doesn't exactly live up to the character in the books - i.e a Brick Sh*thouse!! The first season was very good IMHO and as there's a few "Reacher" books to base things on, we could go on for a little while! :thumb:

/\ Having read a few of the books this new guy sure does fit the authors description. Cruise was always a strange casting.

The only film I thought Tom Cruise was credible in was Rain Man. He couldn't bullshit his way through with Dustin Hoffman.

Trekkies will be happy to hear that Star Trek Picard has started up again with season 2. I actually preferred this to Discovery which has become a bit too PC of late - not long until there is an overweight black lesbian in the captain's chair the way its going!

Killing Eve is also back with season 4. Peaky Blinders has now started season 6.

Enjoying Reacher at the moment.

I'll give Killing Eve(S4) a go but I seem to recall that S3 was a real disappointment

I’m going to try tonight but agree that the last season wasn’t as good as the first two. But then again, I’m a bit disappointed with the latest episode of Peaky B - again I though the first 3-4 seasons were the best and it’s now not as captivating - maybe it’s a sign of getting old?

Couple of sci-fi/fantasy shows.

Severance: psychological thriller about a guy who works for a company that requires employers to have two sets of memories - work/non-work.

From: Drama/horror. Family wanders into small offtrack middle American town. Once in, no one leaves. Horrors come out at night. (Yes, "From" is the name of the show).

Also for cartoon/anime fans, if any: The Legend of Vox Machina. (Like Arcane, derived from a game.)

Also cartoon from the makers of The Simpsons and Futurama: Disenchantment.

Well I watched the latest episode of Killing Eve and wasn’t overwhelmed, to the point that I’m not sure whether I’ll bother watching the next episode!!

Thanks. Saved me the bother. Such a shame. Really liked the concept initially. It was a breath of fresh air

For those who have access to the UK channel ITV, this week they have been featuring a four-part drama called Our House featuring Martin Compston (from Line of Duty and others) and the very watchable Tuppence Middleton - I’ve watched the first three episodes so far and it’s recommended!!

Into the third, of four, season of The Last Kingdom, a Viking type show. The first season was OK but slow at times. 2nd season, and so far, third, very good IMHO. On Netflix.
