Another "feel good" movie Fishermans.Friends

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1648186/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

 

Ten fisherman from Cornwall are signed by Universal Records and achieve a top ten hit with their debut album of Sea Shanties.

 

????

If you watched the film and enjoyed it there's an ITV documentary about the real life guys in the village and their singing career. zoogle 'ITV Fisherman's Friends'

Godfather one of the greatest movies - series of movies of all time for sure.

Game of Thrones is more of a fantasy like JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy - 

Like the Vikings series from History channel Canada.

Definitely a different genre than the Godfather movies

Watching Riviera, season 2 started recently.  After newlywed Georgina's billionaire husband Constantine is killed in a yacht explosion, she is shocked to discover the fortune and lifestyle he maintained was surrounded by violence, lies, secrets and murder

 

First season was worth a watch, season 2 not as good so far.

How is Vikings? (on Netflix. I assume it's the same series)

I was looking forward to The Beach Bum... it was advertised as a Snoop-McConaughey stoner-comedy. It is not that at all. I'm not sure haw to describe it, but the positive critics reviews seem a load of bullocks... 

[mikebike]

On the flip side we downloaded CLAWS (TV show) expecting little, yet it has been supremely entertaining.

[ExpatOilWorker]

5 episodes of Top Gear is available, but sadly it is no longer in English, but some gibberish language using "me" instead of "my".

BBC should do the world a favor and kill this nonsense.

Documentary - Extreme Tribe: The Last Pygmies

 

This ones quite an eye opener.
Especially the backyard circumcision and dentistry.

Three episodes in all with two now available.

Summary: Livia Simoka travels to the remote jungles of the Republic of the Congo to spend five months living with the isolated pygmy tribe the Mbendjele.

Our Cops in the North

 

Enjoyed episode 1 of this new 6 part series by the Beeb.

Summary: Six-part series gives camera crews in-depth access to all aspects of Force and follows the men and women tasked
with investigating a wide range of crimes across Northumbria, from murder to motorbike theft and poaching to pub fights.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

I d/l E01 on torrent, but I got the impression from looking the the BBC page there are three episodes, not six?

If there are six, are they all on successive Wednesdays?

A few reviews said 6 episodes but you're right, the Beeb says 3.

 

Looks like weekly episodes.

[GinBoy2]

So as an American Anglophile I've loved the BBC political show 'This Week' 

 

Rather sad to watch the final show yesterday with Andrew Neil, it always combined politics and humor in a rather unique way

 

It will for sure,  leave a hole in my weekly viewing schedule

All episodes of The Money Heist (with subs) are out there.

 

The gang is back!

[giddyup]

Jett. IMO has to be one of, if not the best current TV series. Just keeps getting better. Episodes 1-6 available most places.

Quite enjoyed that series. I hope there is a season 2. The actress playing Wild Bill's daughter does an excellent job.

Right now I'm struggling through "The Enemy Within." (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8390342/ )

It seems like a poor man's "The Blacklist" with Jennifer Carpenter carrying the show. The other characters appear very wooden and the storylines..........well?

I too finished watching Wild Bill series 1 last night.  I thought it was very good too.

I had a look earlier, but so far can't see any mention of series 2.

O.T. Phi overtime (2014)

Thai movie, newly advertised on Netflix though it's from 2014.

What a load of nonsense and waste of time watching it.
Probably one must be Thai to understand this kind of humour.

Bought a new Sony 49" TV and sound bar and had to try it out as not yet fully au fait with it (a manual missing).

 

So watched "The Greatest Showman" yet again...........couldn't help myself, such an uplifting movie with great songs and fabulous choreography, and Zendaya!!!!!!

 

Now here's one for the experts out there; I download a few movies and none of them actually fill the screen so what do I look for to get the full screen ones when looking for a download??

[JHolmesJr]

Birds of Passage....excellent Colombian film about a tribal family consumed

by the marijuana business. This isn't some Pablo Escobar level crime potboiler.

It's far more nuanced and intelligent. Highly recommended and authentic cinema.

Perhaps the high-def screen ratio

I'd like to recommend "Talking Heads" by Alan Bennett. It's a series of monologues played by some outstanding actors.

I'm sure it's available for download, but they are all available on You Tube. Just search Talking Heads Alan Bennett.

I watched them all, years ago but it's been a treat to watch them again.
