I found it pretty good and looking forward to watching further episodes.
I vaguely remember really liking that film....

DL'ing on LT as I write this...

Started one yesterday called Station Eleven which looks like it could be worth pursuing considering the current situation. Its about surviving a deadly flu outbreak and seems a bit better than the usual zombie shite.

Can get the entire season one here: https://eztv.re/search/station-eleven

Verrry slow burning this one. Quite enjoyed episode 1 (also a fan of the actor Himesh Patel) and had high hopes but struggling after 2 and 3. You got any further into it? Worth persevering?

Yep, the second episode was a complete flop, will try one more but can't see myself sticking with it if the hippyness continues - wasn't what I expected.

Just started this one. Has great promise and seems well received on IMDB.

Tokyo Vice
A Western journalist working for a publication in Tokyo takes on one of the city's most powerful crime bosses.( Ansel Elgort(Baby Driver) is excellent).

Big fan of Ansel Elgort. Very talented. Will give that one a whirl.

I rather enjoyed this. It reminded me of watching things like The Saint, The Avengers and The Champions when I was a kid( Man, that Alexander Bastedo, wow!! )

Tom Hollander is absolutely made for his role in this

And the very attractive young lady is excellent too. She surely has a bright future. Not seen her before I don't think

8/10

Her name is Lucy Boynton and despite her rather young years (she’s 28), she has been in many films and TV shows -

She'll be devastated to hear that is too young for me by 10 years at least

Sorry Lucy Lockett but I have a moral pocket!

Thanks to Sateeb for putting this up last week

What started as quite intriguing and quite enjoyable after 1 episode soon faded for me thereafter

By 3 episodes(of 8) I knew this wasn't going to be a great one for me.

In the end I'd give it a 7/10. Like dozens of series I've watched it could've been so much better
