Yeah, it's not a boring crime documentary with whites in all protagonist roles. Few here will appreciate it. I will, of course, check it out. The original GOT started out relatively slowly as they introduced the players. I expect the same here.

Red Rose is a very successful  BBC - Netflix co production related to the team that produced Sex Education.

Red Rose, set in Greater Manchester, mainly in the town of Bolton is a mystery-  horror - thriller in a style comparable to Black Mirror. It involves a bunch of teenagers just starting their summer holiday  which goes  frighteningly wrong. Interesting production team with a high percentage  of women  - produced  by the 'Clarkson Twins' with a great  cast of young northern  actors  and actresses.  I would recommend  this intriguing well written  thriller and on the basis of 'Red Rose' I'll check out 'Sex Education ' which I had previously avoided because of its potential  for glib  wokeism.

I couldn't stand GOT because I gave up on sword and sorcery when I was a teenager so I have no interest  in Red Dragon. People with wings? I can't suspend  my disbelief but for  those who can it was compelling viewing just as Breaking  Bad, The Wire and The Sopranos was for others. So I won't be watching  it but will  be following the debate and comparison with interest.

I tried watching it from Movies2watch but found the English subs were well out of sync and some scenes kept getting repeated like they were on a loop. First time I've used this site for streaming, so not impressed, prefer a straight download.

I use tinyzonetv.to

Fmovies.w - f since I started  streaming from these  sites I've forgotten  how to  bit torrent

Well, I just watched one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.  The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1965).

A superb movie in all ways based on the book of same name by one of the best spy novelists ever, John le Carré.  A true spy thriller.  Richard Burton was nominated for the Academy award for Best Actor but Lee Marvin beat him out for his performance in Cat Ballou.  Having seen both movies my pick would have been Burton.

A shame for a great actor; Burton had in his career one nomination for Best Supporting Actor and six for Best Actor but never walked away with an Oscar.
 

 

I saw it at the films back in the 60s. That and the Ipcress File

Probably better to tell us what you like instead of what you don't since you apparently detest what is rated as the best tv/movies of the past 30 years...

I recently watched Dangerous Curve (The Killing) season 1. It's a crime drama set in Cairo, about the  investigation into the murder of a social media influencer found dead in the car of a national club electoral candidate. It was pretty good IMHO and worth a look. I got it from TGx.

I'm currently watching Cambridge Spies season 1. Its the true story of a group of Cambridge University Students who are recruited to spy for the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. One of them (Kim Philby) even became Head of Counter-Intelligence in MI6. Pretty good so far IMHO and worth a look. I got it from solid torrents.

Watched House of the Dragon  first episode, considering it was introducing new characters quite acceptable.

90% of my informed, well written  comments are recommendations and reviews. Perhaps  you should  take your  own advice LOL.

[homeseeker]

I recently viewed a true crime documentary on Netflix called;

"Murder by the Coast".

 

Breathtaking example of a miscarriage of justice due to prejudice.

Yes its a good  show. Thanks. It's interesting  because my generation  lived with the '3rd  man' rumours . It turned  out there was a fourth man. Anthony Blunt. A close friend  of the queen  mother.

George Blake,  another member of the spy ring escaped the night I was in London nearby the prison he was being escorted from. One of the  themes of these treasonous spies who betrayed  Britain was there middle class and upper class origins and academic  backgrounds very similar to wokeism  these days. The other feature was 'homosexuality'- the term 'Gay' was not in use at the  time in its current usage. There are quite  a few  other productions, plays  movies, books and drama about The Cambridge Ring and their treacherous  betrayed  of their  homeland to support Stalin's and Khrushchevs murderous regime and perverse ideology.

Yer that was a good movie---no Oz actors, but I know what you mean....... I like Affleck more when he is doing crime etc.

Know thyself!

At least I try to write intelligent reviews and commentaries on a broad range of  topics and a variety of productions. Some people just scan jpgs from websites which try to promote an ideological  agenda with little or no entertainment  value and zero personal opinion or textual support thus giving the impression  they haven't actually  watched these worthy but dull polemical  pieces but rather patronisingly think we should!

[seedy]

I watch every movie I post about. How else would I know to make a recommendation.

I refrain from making long winded, arrogant assessments to offer examples of my knowledge and acumen.

Want to watch it - watch it

Don't want to watch it - don't watch it.

I guess the post above mine is in the 10% bracket

This is the worst drought for TV shows and movies that I've ever experienced. It's got to the point where I've even exhausted all repeats of favourites. There must be a lot of people out of work in the film industry. Tough times.

I have a couple of free movie streaming sites on the TV, but I'm still struggling to find anything worth watching. I just had a look at fmovies, they have pretty much the same movies as other streaming sites.

I was thinking exactly the same thing giddyup, so have taken to hunting out movies from long ago, which I can't remember anything about, and over the past few weeks I've watched the following: –

 

– The Conversation, with Gene Hackman, and I remember seeing it in the 70s when it was released and not fully understanding what it was all about, so I thought I would watch it again just the other day, and nothing's changed, I'm still not fully sure what it's all about!

 

– The Marathon Man, with Dustin Hoffman, and I couldn't remember anything about that from an earlier viewing, but it was an entertaining movie, although difficult to follow in the early stages.

 

– The French Connection, again with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider, and I must have seen it all those years ago, but enjoyed it this time round.

 

– Blade Runner, the original with Harrison Ford as the star, and I did like it although I have seen it more than once. I also watched the later version with Ryan Gosling and thought that was good too.

 

– The Three Days of the Condor, great movie with Robert Redford.

 

May well get "The Big Short" out of my "library" and watch that again because it's a damn good movie, also a short while ago I watched the movie "Live by Night" with Ben Affleck again, and that is one of my favourite movies at the moment.

 

Still hunting round for some more oldies which I either haven't seen or can't remember, so the hunt goes on..............

Just finished watching the first episode of 'Slow Horses'. Brilliant. I hope it stays that way?
