I watched it some years ago 2016 when BBC showed it --good acting.  Netflix has just brought it. The original still on TPB  just 3 episodes

 

Thanks I have managed to download epidodes 1 & 2 but episode 3 is "stuck" and I can't get it to move even using "Force start" ........that's 2 days now and 1337x.to is the same. Anywhere else that I might find it??

You might try RARBG. They have it with 29 seeds. I just checked a couple of minutes ago. All three as one download.

 

The Secret Agent (Tv Mini Series 2016) 720p

I have been watching and enjoying Poker Face season 2.The latest episode is S02E09 and think this season will have 12 so a few more weeks till the season is completed.  Sorry if it has been talked about in the past on this thread and I missed it.

 

 

I have watched a couple other series I don't recall being talked about but I would not recommend them.

 

Government Cheese has an IMDB rating of 6.4 and think that may be a bit high.

 

FUBAR season 2 is out and I just watched season 1 and don't plan on watching season 2. It has an IMDB rating of 6.5.

Just got on RARBG and only found episode 3 with only a couple of seeds.....others were the x265 format which i don't have loaded so will have to investigate that as many downloads now seem to be in that format. More research needed!!

 

PS. Joe, finally managed to d/l episode 3 after stuffing about (by pure luck) but thanks for your help all the same, much appreciated.

Thanks for adding the series name. These responses can become quite confusing without it.

Huge mate.

Nice find.

 

I loved this series.

Guy Ritchie and Tom Hardy.

What's not to like!

That is strange. I ignored what RARBG listed as seeds and actually started it in uTorrent on my computer and it showed 29 there. But happy you got it.

Band Of Brothers - just finished, now working on the book.

VLC (free) plays anything if anyone is having trouble playing in any format.

"...two guys who were free and easy and "hippie like" drug traffickers were seen as unlikable/unwelcome..."

The people that attacked them and saw them as unwelcome were redneck prejudiced morons. Nothing to do with what they were doing with the drugs. The same attitude they had towards blacks in the south.

I thought I'd take a look at a movie I hadn't seen for years, namely David Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers" especially as I couldn't remember anything about it!

 

It starred Jeremy Irons in the role of the twins (an excellent performance by him) and also Genevieve Bujold as the main female in the strange/weird/disconcerting movie, as is generally the norm with anything by David Cronenberg!

Almodovar's The Skin I'm In is an outstanding twister!

Anybody out there using Usenet? Suggestions for a good one, please.

MV Group is awesome for documentaries.

 

RUtracker is really good for everything. Have to be careful content has English.

 

Both require sign-up. Why not? I've never gotten email from either.

Yes - Im another one for trakt, although it's a bit flakey,

 

You are basically telling them you watch pirated content on your home media player, right? 

 

@Will27 The best thing I ever did was to set up *rr - sonarr, radarr, prowlarr - its an automated torrent / usenet downloader, you load your indexers (idk if its possible to use, but like RARBG, torrent galaxy) and it just goes out and snatches them for you. You can also search manually without going near those sites and their annoying popups. I think its not so difficult to setup on windows these days, its a bit tricky to run if you dont have a designated media server, like you need to keep some settings in check, else it will keep on downloading shows after you have deleted them, but well worth it. Is saves so much time, and makes everyones recommendations here really worthwhile. 

Looks tricky to setup. I haven't hasd much luck with github content.

 

And I use a Mac.

I am watching Murderbot at the moment. Season 1 doesn't end until July but it is an engrossing and amusing science fiction story about a "paranoid android" that I recommend.  Read the book and both are almost the same. 'Nuff said.

 

P.S. The SecBot (Security Bot) calls himself Murderbot because he "thinks" he is a killer. It doesn't mean he kills everyone he meets.

Sorry for mailbombing this thread. I'm pretty excited to find 'my kind' on AN. Obviously not barflies. Speaking of which:

Leaving Las Vegas, The Bad Lieutenant, both with Nicolas Cage

Barfly with Mickey Rourke

Have not seen 3 Body Problem TV series on here. Cixin Liu's trilogy is great, too.

Anybodt here use Z-library for books? Direct download. Use Reddit thread to find URLs.

Lexx (4 seasons), Canuck sci-fi. Weird as it gets: "The dead do not poop!"

been going since "forever" must be doing something right..they carry most groups and have good retention..but still best to download while recent or bits start falling off the servers.

I haven't used Usenet for a long time but my Father and his friend still use astraweb  and still argue about how to combine and uncompress the RAR files

[Will27]

Out this week.

A troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator follow in the footsteps of two serial arsonists.

Will give that a try after finishing Mobland. Can only add to the chorus of two thumbs up to that series!

Usenet is so 1990's. Haven't used it in at least 20 years.

Scene dash rls dot net gets it just as quick and is nowhere near as cumbersome to use.

Don't they get the " stuff "  from USENET in the first place ?

Probably, but it's minutes before it gets dropped there. AND it's much less tedious than usenet.

I used to use Usenet in the eighties for posting and downloading bluegrass music when I lived in Singapore as there was no other good alternatives, what a pain is was, I used Agent as the  Newsgroup client, clunky and took forever to upload / download.

Torrents are way better, easier come down quickly and and best of all usually work when you get them  😄
