What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)

[Mike Teavee]

For anybody interest in Bangkok, I noticed that a documentary on the iconic cinema "The Scala" has just landed on Netflix (I did search IMDB & it looks like there's another documentary called "Scala" released this year but the Netflix one is "The Scala"). 

 

Haven't watched it yet as I'm just finishing "Anatomy of a Scandal" (really enjoying it)  & it's the GF's turn to choose the movie tonight (what is it about Thai girls & "Horror" movies :s )

The Invisible Pilot

 

3 episodes.

fmovies.

 

 

"The Invisible Pilot is a three-part documentary series by Emmy-winning filmmakers Phil Lott and Ari Mark about a labyrinthine story that begins in Hazen, Arkansas and ends in one of the biggest political scandals of our time. The series tells the tale of Gary Betzner, a charismatic, daredevil husband and father who unexpectedly jumped off a bridge in 1977, despite a seemingly happy home life and a lucrative career as a pilot. His small-town Arkansas community searches for his body in vain while family and friends seek answers. Years later, a mysterious story emerges involving hypnosis, secret identities and a double life of dangerous missions and law-breaking. And that’s just the beginning."

I've just started season 2 of Traces, which is a Scottish crime drama series, based in Dundee. Pretty good so far, as was season 1. Worth a look IMHO. I got it from TGx.

Worth a look-see? 
 

Im liking the first two episodes of Mayans - first one was pretty intense, the storyline is slowly unfolding. 
 

The Informant is interesting, I’m digging the Soviet post punk soundtrack, although it’s not entirely accurate. I finally found a series pack of a Russian series -  golddiggers with subtitles which maybe worth a look. 

[Jingthing]

This was fun but I really didn't get (or like) the ending.

I've watched the Mayans seasons 1-3 and thought it was very good.

Cameron must navigate remaining relevant at a time when cancel-culture is all too real and is surprised when spending time with Bobby awakens a creative side of himself, he thought had long-since passed.

I have mentioned it before RAPIDMOVIEZ is a good INFO site to track when a TV episode has come out, it updates every hour. I sometimes go to it when I am not sure if an episode is out yet--as it should be, but with some shows they will skip weeks with no notice or explanation & IMDB often get it wrong.  RAPIDMOVIEZ does track movies as well--but they are easy to track in so many other places.

It has a data base for TV episodes which can take you back to 2011

Watched The Duke last night, really quite good and based on a true story:

 

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, steals Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.

I enjoyed watching season 1 of CSI:Vegas, although I don't think it is as good as its predecessor CSI, which was also based in Las Vegas. I got it from TGx.

CSI:NY & CSI:Miami were also pretty good IMHO and worth a look.

Looks interesting.....

Watched 'Ambulance' and good entertainment.  Michael Bay & smash 'em up.  Could use a bit less drone footage.  Mind boggling how it gets 6.4 and The Batman holding 8.2 on IMDB:

I've watched the first few episodes of season 1 (of 5) of The Last Kingdom. So far it's very good IMHO. Well worth a look. It's already been mentioned / recommended a few times already in this topic.

Below Deck (TV Series 2013– ) - IMDb 7.4/10

 

Season 7 is a  particularly Interesting and scenic "reality TV" series as it is located around Phuket.

If you are into travel and reality tv, the other related shows are also interesting but addictive.

Below Deck Mediterranean (TV Series 2016– ) - IMDb

Below Deck Sailing Yacht (TV Series 2020– ) - IMDb

Below Deck Down Under (TV Series 2022– ) - IMDb

A new series from ShowTime... The Man Who Fell To Earth.

 

It won't be the same without David Bowie, but I will give it a try... especially with Chiwetel Ejiofor in it...

Murder on the Beach

RAR

 

Summary: Sky Original exploring the tragic stories of numerous young travellers who have died under mysterious circumstances on the remote backpacking Thai island, Koh Tao.

[sanuk711]

 

Just looking at the  write ups on the --Gaslit series that comes out today--- 8 episodes and was struck by the amazing transformation of Sean Penn, if that make up artist doesn't get a mention in the Oscars---then its robbery.

Can spot Julie Roberts a mile off , I knew Penn was taking a lead in the series but didn't know he played the John Mitchel part.

I enjoyed a couple of movies with Ben Affleck recently.

 

The Tender Bar - On Amazon and the torrents.

 

The Way Back - Netflix and no doubt torrents

 

Both are dramas.

 

 

Another one I just heard about which I will look into is this series..

Kinda confusing how IMDb gives this a 3.8 rating yet the first episode airs today and that episode gets an 8.4 rating ??

But I do like a bit of sci-fi so will give this a go .

I watched the first episode, and it is very, very, funny. Shea Whigham steals this ep with his portrayal of Liddy.

 

The cast is amazing.

 

Interesting take on Watergate without portraying nixon.

I've been reading the Wheel Of Time series, but I'm waiting for April 29th in order to watch the Ozark season 4 part 2 finale.

Barry ...Season 3 is out---saw it on EZTV

 

Disillusioned at the thought of taking down another "mark," depressed, low-level hit man Barry Berkman seeks a way out. When the Midwesterner reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an actor who is bedding a mobster's wife, little does Barry know that the City of Angels may be his sanctuary.

Snowfall season 5 now out on TGx.

So now for hit men, you have only got "Barry" to watch--The 3rd season, starts 24th with --"Barry searches the dark web for jobs;" if you want the 1/2nd series EZTV has some with a few seeds but, there will probably be a revival once season 3 comes out.

Thanks for the Barry recommendation.

 

Watched the first episode and think it is quite good.
