I've just watched the first few episodes of season 1 (of 2) of Blood. It's a crime drama set in Ireland. I've enjoyed the episodes so far and it's well worth a look IMHO. Cast includes Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty). I got it from TGx.

The Ozark, 4 seasons of excellent suspense, Jason Bateman as Marty Byrde, a financial planner who relocates his family from Chicago to a summer resort community in the Ozarks. With wife Wendy and their two kids in tow, Marty is on the move after a money-laundering scheme goes wrong, forcing him to pay off a substantial debt to a Mexican drug lord in order to keep his family safe. While the Byrdes' fate hangs in the balance, the dire circumstances force the fractured family to reconnect...

The plot sounds a little like The Staircase (2022):

Colin Firth stars as Michael Peterson in this true story. Michael, successful crime writer and budding politician, calls 911 claiming his wife had fallen down the stairs and is now not breathing. But when the police arrive the scene tells another story.

Dragged a little in the middle with the French film connection but otherwise very good.

Alternatively , a documentary series with the real people.

As viewed by French film makers.

Me, I think the action peters out around E03 and I gave up. Awful lot of talking and arbitrary sci-fi gadgets and jargon,

Should have stuck it out, all those arbitrary sci-fi gadgets and jargon were integral to the story, and it played out well.

 

And sorry, rereading my post showed it to be somewhat ambiguous. It was meant to inform that if you liked the peripheral, you would also like season 1 of altered carbon, and if you hadn't seen it already, check it out.

Just watched Karen pirie Scottish police series very good

[xylophone]

I was looking forward to the release of "The Menu", so last night downloaded and watched it, and was disappointed, and I only watched it through because I was waiting for something to happen.

 

The plot was similar to a few other movies that have been made but I won't give the game away. Following along from the title, I thought the movie was full of plot holes, full of itself and not as tasty as the makers would have you believe, and without an understandable ending!

Woke rubbish and a continuation of the re writing of British history. Queen Caroline was not black neither were there lots of lordy blacks in Regency high society, apart from Dido Elizabeth Belle Murray.

Just dowloaded Wednesday, unless you are entertained by childish American teen dramas dont waste your time on it, dreadful.

Tulsa King.

you're kidding. Yes it has some of teh Addams family humour in it, but it's also a very good whodunnit.

[Woof999]

Watching the first series (and then probably the rest) of 24 again, for the first time in more than a decade.

 

It's still as amazing as it was more than 20 years ago.

[Jingthing]

Coincidentally I started watching the semi classic American Hustle just before Jeremy Renner was seriously injured. It's very roughly based on the Abscam Scandal, maybe you need to look it up. Anyway lots of great star studded acting, gripping story, and comical New Jersey color. Louie CK has a minor role where he made the ice fishing story that was never finished famous. You'll have to search for the ending online as it's not in the movie. Please don't post it here.

Slow Horses series 1 and 2 staring Gary  Oldman on Apple TV or torrent download, MI5 with a difference Series 3 to be released.

Along with the BBCs Black Anne Boleyn, more woke madness at the licence (tax payers) expense.
