What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)

Dopestick was better than this one sided portrayal of events, the black investigator is of course not a real character but a composite of several people none of whom were black. Netflix never misses an opportunity to stick a 'good' black character in, she's very annoying anyway and over the top.

The Woman in the Wall                                 2023 ‧ Psychological thriller--- BBC 6 episodes

 

 

This was due to be released in November this year, I think the on going USA strike is starting to have an affect--so expect many re-runs foreign programs  early releases etc.

 

It's set in Ireland in 2015  and centers around the earlier Magdalene Nurseries scandal. Where 1,000s of women had been incarcerated for having sex outside marriage.

The Woman In The Wall's opening episode branded 'utterly superb' by viewers while the spooky thriller leaves others 'unable to sleep' BBC's new gothic thriller The Woman In The Wall saw its opening episode branded 'utterly superb' by viewers on Sunday.The six-part series examines the legacy of one of Ireland's most shocking scandals, the inhumane institutions known as the Magdalene Laundries. In the opening episode Lorna Brady (Ruth Wilson) wakes one morning to find a corpse in her house. Chillingly, she had no idea who the dead woman is or if she herself might be responsible for the apparent murder.

Currently watching New Bandits a Brazilian show on Amazon prime, not bad.

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27208330/ ? Better than the wire? I don’t think so. 

 

@Mutt Daeng Did you know there are subs available for all the seasons of mocro mafia? - you need to be a bit easy going, sometimes things get a bit messy when the guys are talking Turkish / Arabic and the hard subs are in Dutch, but the latest season is pretty good

@recom273 Thanks for the info re: MM subs. I wasn't aware of that. I've only watched seasons 1 & 2 so far. New Bandits looks promising.

Looks good.

Early days on IMDB for reviews.

 

You usually get a better indication after about a week IMO.

I’m about half way through, and thought it was ok.

 

I thought I would give some reference or trailer and found those reviews, comparing it to the wire and breaking bad .. lol ? Not really accurate.

Mobland with John Travolta and Stephen Dorff. I thought this was pretty good for a low budget crime thriller. Starts a bit slow but improves. Available TG and elsewhere.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I love a series that is binge worthy and LOST is just that. Gone are the days when you couldn't go out on Monday or Tuesday because your favourite show was on the box, Now, you can catch up when you like.

Some of you will have seen LOST as it finished in 2010, but if like me it went under your radar, do yourself a favour and give it a try. You will know almost immediately whether or not it's for you. Me, I've already watched more than half of the 121 episodes and I'm really enjoying the series.

[oxo1947]

Power Book IV: Force ---- season 2                  ---10 episodes

 

If you follow it the second season dropped today.

Last night I watched the first two episodes of this and I can't say that I was "over enamoured" with it, mainly because, for me, it was a little "bitty" – – a bit here and a bit there, however I will persevere when the next episode drops and see how I fare.

Can you give an update when you finish the LOST series? I stopped watching just because of other things going on in my life but think I had friends tell me they lost interest in the later seasons.  If you think it is good all the way through I will have to download it.

[Jai Dee]

For those that are interested the complete Season 3 of Warrior is now available from the usual sources.

Most of the stuff I watch is recommended by the IMDB users, as is Lost and according to the majority it's worth watching to the end. I've just finished Season 4 and I'll try and remember to give you the heads up when i get to the end.

I watched the whole a while back, worth watching, and has some twists that come around in the end. 

 

Worth picking back up, especially now, since so little is out there.

Watched about 25 minutes of and then switched it off, mainly because it seemed like a lot of CGI nonsense?

 

Perhaps I was more into Indiana Jones in the first instalment of it many years ago, but now, seeing an old, decrepit, bowlegged pensioner running around the place, just doesn't cut the mustard anymore.
