If you want covid 19 to look a very minor problem new series "The Stand" 2020 new weekly episodes coming. 

"Contagion" (2011) is frighteningly  close to today's sad reality.

No idea, I must have been a little confused. I'll try editing it.

If Sharon Stone played the part, it would've been called Silence of the Clams.

Not watching now but on the radar for launch on the 11th of Feb is Clarice, a series centred on Jodie Foster's character from The Silence of the Lambs. Hope it lives up to the film.

 

 

I read somewhere that Jodie Foster didn't speak to Hopkins during the movie (off-screen) because she was terrified of him.

For fans of "classic" police shows I see that there's a fairly new upload of all twelve seasons (261 episodes) of NYPD Blue available at TPB. It's in 1080, downloaded from Hulu and is amazing quality for such a relatively old show. Having decent characters and storylines helps, too.

I have been watching every episode of NYPD Blue starting at number 1 for the past month or two. I have a lot left to see. Great show all over again,,,,,,,,,Dennis Franz and company really do a superb job.

Watched a really quaint movie called "Minari" and it is about a young Korean family trying to make a go of things in rural USA. Has some English with some subtitles for Korean spoken parts.

 

I was tempted to turn it off early on, but it was unusual and had a certain "charm" to it, so carried on watching it and was pleased that I did.

Two Canadian detective series,  new series just out Murdoch series 14 ,episode 1

and Frankie Drake Season 4 ,episode 1.

So as a total Star Trek Geek, just finished the season 3 finale of Star Trek Discovery.

 

It took them the first two seasons to find their footing, but season 3 has been awesome, and the finale was the best of all.

 

Thankfully it's been renewed for season 4, and I for one can't wait.

watching the serpent on iplayer, not bad, a bit too much time shifting but interesting for the bangkok/thailand 1970s backdrop

You've probably seen The Handmaiden (2016) but if not I think you'll like it:

I'm giving a two thumbs up for Coyote as well

 

The link might not work for geo restrictions.

I am impressed by the acting of Jessie Buckley ( Nurse Mayflower ) in Fargo IV.

( I fact I am impressed by a few actors there, but that's for later )

 

I therefore watched " The woman in white " mystery/thriller TV period drama, 

rather enjoyable.

 

Will now start " The Last Post " TV serial about British Army life in Aden in the 60's.

Overall I agree season 3 was pretty good and looking forward to 4. But there were 2 or 3 episodes in season 3 that I really got lost in and thought they could have been better,,,,,,,for me downright boring but the season finale was excellent way to close it for the year

Downloaded the lot, gave up after 20 mins of the first episode. More like bame trek than star trek, some actors clearly only got the role on ethnicity rather than talent, dreadful.

Me too, I'm on season 8 now, not wishing to "spoil" but it sees the welcome addition af a hot new blonde detective! Sipowicz was a great character (among many) and as you say the cast were superb.

 

Steven Bochco was a genius, being behind so many great shows, ditto for Dick Wolf, there's an intersting snippet about the two of them here https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dick-wolf-meeting-steven-bochco-at-age-5-reuniting-hill-street-blues-1099440

 

A couple of years ago there was talk of Wolf doing a remake but I don't think it went beyond just talk.

It's also available on Netflix Thailand if you have it - subtitled as you might prefer to dubbed.

Pretty sure any, errr, downloads, will have original French audio also with subtitles available.

I see plenty of series/movies named "Moment of Truth", but nothing recent.

Note to @giddyup, looks like Blue Muton is not alone in having the occasional "moment"!

[JackSinclair]

Never heard of this before, so I  downloaded the first season on spec.

Watched the first three eps. last night and I'd immediately recommend  searching that the galaxy to find all 6 seasons

No gratuities necessary  thank you

Still Narcos Mexico set. Problem is..trying to see the DEA as heroes and seeing the war against pot as anything to be proud of..
