Australian humour, or is it humor, does nothing for me, having been brought up with the Goons, Kenneth Horne, Carry On etc etc but and as for that American thing you quoted, OK I shall give it a go so I am not at a total loss.

SLOW HORSES by Apple seems pretty good after two episodes.

I can confirm that The Beekeeper is as bad as mentioned. Avoid at all costs, the fight scenes are more like brawls.

Totally agree, utter bilge.

So does that mean you didn't like Please Like Me?

Never heard of it, but will look.

I do know Please Please Me, oh yeah like I please you. Good title for a dirty movie eh?

It keeps getting better each season. Season 1 was very good, season 2 was better and season 3 was even better IMHO.

What's with the Walking Dead? The new spinoff is starting to drop.

 

Are the viewers so stupid they need to have 5 minutes of explaining what the episode was about at the end of each one? Hmmm. Probably.

I finally decided to watch a series that I'd noticed on BBC iPlayer for some time, called "Steeltown Murders" and it was good, although it stretched over four episodes and IMO it could have been completed in three episodes.

 

It takes a little bit of getting used to because it goes backwards and forwards in time from when a detective was investigating the murders of three young girls in and around Port Talbot (Wales) when it actually happened, to 30 years later when the investigation is reopened.

 

Pretty straightforward with some good acting and a little bit of guesswork needed, but all in all a good evening's entertainment.

First couple of episodes available. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet.

I read the book and watched the 1980 series, this version with an 9.4/10 rating, sets a high expectation.

I also enjoyed watching it.

I've just finished season 1 of Criminal Record. I enjoyed watching it and it was very entertaining IMHO. It was brought to my attention by @gargamon and has been mentioned by a few other posters. I got it from TGx.

I have been enjoying "The Chosen", which really surprised me. It starts a little slow, but I think it's cute. Kind of reminds me of a '60s type programs.

'Funny Lady' Woman" is brilliant; set in 60s UK full of snips of great music; refs to famous people like Quant; Milligan; Jagger. FTFY.😉

Thank you - I was carefully avoiding using 'Funny Girl' (a Streisand movie?)

'Shogun' E1 & 2 are out. Enjoying 'The Last Airbender' as it is on a level my TGF can enjoy.

Perfect Days

 

Zen and the art of professional toilet cleaning?

 

Why does this Japanese toilet cleaner have such great taste in western music and literature?

 

Why does such a character find fulfillment in such a lowly job?

 

This is an art film I guess but accessible beyond that label.

 

If you don't know Tokyo you will feel you know it.

 

To me the film was a mixture of the life affirming and life depressing but the affirmation part dominates.

this show.... they are running 2-3 different  storylines about the same characters. i wish i could remember which movies it seems inspired by, but all in all it is very cliche... it feels like in the end the main character will have died in space and the whole storyline will have revolved around her last moments of life.

 

i dont enjoy the story at all, but right now there isnt much else to watch. i am a big sci-fi fan and i was looking forward to this one. i hope the writers are geniuses who in the end will make it all work out

Same as you, not very much good stuff to watch but gave up on constellation after 1 1/2 episodes and downloaded as many Silent Witness series from TPB that I could find instead, all are very good.

If you’re looking for similar movies, some that come to mind include “Interstellar”, “Gravity”, and “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

Even if “Constellation” feels familiar, it might still surprise you!

I am hoping watching Episode 4 tonight might add some context and sense to justify my investment in time.

Saw "Pee Nak 4", Thai horror-comedy today, it had its moments. Theater was pretty full of teenagers, and they seemed to love it, as did my wife.

for those who are fans of DUNE and didnt know, there was a series that came out few years back. I dont remember if it is book 3 or 4 of the series that it was based on... but it is when Paul's son turns himself into a worm...

 

                                                                                  

 

 

there are 3 SHOWS!!! in the series. I watched it a while ago and it was pretty good
