Big suprise!

Ted Lasso in which the finale to Season 3 looked to everyone as the end of that wonderful series will be coming back for a Season 4.

Schedule unknown but there will be a new team.

Unspoken

A little film with a big emotional impact and well-crafted plot surprises.

Quote

 

Jeremy Borison's 'Unspoken' is a brilliant coming-of-age film – The Forward

 

Marking his directorial debut, Jeremy Borison’s Unspoken is a lovely, delicately handled coming of age, coming out story centering on Noam (Charlie Korman), a young Modern Orthodox Jew. The film also touches on what happens when the memory of a beloved elder, now deceased, is tarnished and betrayed. 

...

I was blown away by this brilliantly understated and deceptively simple film.

This is good talent. Worth a watch with clever twists in the story. 

 

 

 

Yes I agree, nearly did not watch because I thought it was going to be a chick flick when I saw all the pink lol, well worth a look

I watched "The Outfit" again last night as I was bereft of a good movie to watch and from what I could remember about it, I liked it the first time round.

 

So pleased that I did as Mark Ryland is superb in it and it has a few twists to keep you guessing.

Watched Electric State last night.  Reminded me why I need to cancel my Netflix subscription.

 

Slow pace, feeble dialogue and a woman who can't act playing a 'kid'.  The visuals are nice, but everything else sucked.  Avoid.

Dark Winds

Looking forward to this one.
Out this week.

Michael, a longtime member of organized crime, falls in love with Diana, prompting him to reevaluate his life and contemplate a future beyond his criminal activities.

 

His newfound love becomes both a motivation and a potential liability.

for Ted Lasso fans, I would watch Running Point, it is basketball related but the same fish out of water type comedy.

Adolescence

+1, best TV drama for the ages, up there with Kes.

Searching through BBC iPlayer's newer offerings, I came across one called, "Expedition with Steve Blackshall" and thought I'd give it a go. Having done some exploring in the Sahara desert, the jungle of south-eastern state Nigeria and the waters offshore, also Whitewater rapid rafting (as well as Blackwater rafting) in NZ, I thought I might like it – – and I did, so I can recommend it.

 

Several episodes of around 50 minutes each on different expeditions around the world and IMO, well worth a watch.

Thanks for the heads up @oxo1947. Anything with Stephen Graham in is usually good IMHO.

Stuff i have watched recently and my opinion:

 

A thousand blows:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21874900/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

As expected was very good and can’t wait for season 2

 

Companion:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26584495/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Enjoyed this, pleasant distraction.

 

Paradise:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27444205/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

This started well, went a little slow but came back okay towards the end.

 

Ten pound Poms:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20318226/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

This started okay with an interesting premise but quickly turned into a run of the mill drama, gave up after 3 or 4 episodes, over the top characters with annoying tendencies.

 

Currently watching 

Prime Target:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31186958/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Enjoying this, got a bit of a Da Vinci Code feel to it which will no doubt divide the room but so far so good imho.
