Thank you.  I may have to adjust my TV (or my eyes) to ignore the Hebrew.

Do you mean you've found eps 6-7-8 but it has Hebrew subs? If so, where?

A worthy Oscar winner! 👏

I watched Anora last night and beside the eye candy I found it lacked any real substance or plot.

Everyone has different tastes. I found it very funny and at the end, extremely moving.

This short 30 minute doco was nominated for an Oscar.

John Henry Ramirez is convicted of murder and sentenced to death in the state of Texas.
During his incarceration, Ramirez tries to reach out to his victim's son while also preparing to say goodbye to his family.

 

 

 

While we're on the subject of death row, I've just watched all four series of Rectify (2013-2016). After 16 years on death row, a man gets a reprieve after new DNA evidence comes to light. Really good drama with very good acting performances. Recommended.

Couple Martyn and Rebecca relocate with kids from London to Glasgow.
Neighbour Jan's unsettling remarks hint at a sinister situation unfolding around their new home.

I have also searched everywhere, I can only conclude that no one has put up the remaining three episodes  past episode 5 despite them all being released in January this year.

 

The only ones around have hard coded Hebrew subs so one has to adjust the bottom screen to cut out those subs so they don't clash with the English ones

 

 

It’s only been shown on Israeli TV with Hebrew subs - Apple have postponed the worldwide release because of the ongoing conflict. its a matter of waiting or hacking, I use infuse player which allows you to put a dark background behind subtitles. 
 

They missing episodes are available, I can make them available somewhere if they can’t be tracked down.

Thanks for this excellent info @Rimmer

I've just finished season 1 of Protection and I enjoyed it. It was mentioned by @oxo1947.  I got it from TheRARBG.

Coup!  2023. I thought this was a little gem. I got it from PB.

Buster & Billie, Whiplash, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, Psycho 1 and 2, The Siege at Jadotville, Danger Close, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, Striking Distance, Papillon (New), Braveheart, The Fly (original), Terminator dark Fate, Hacksaw Ridge, Unbroken, Railway Man.

We are watching The Pitt and loving it, probably the best most realistic series I have seen in a long while, if you haven't discovered it already give it a go.

Murder in the Family – The Thomas Kwan Affair

 

In January 2024, Dr. Thomas Kwan, orchestrated an elaborate plot to murder his mother’s long-term partner, Patrick O’Hara. Kwan, motivated by financial gain, was disgruntled that his mother, Jenny Leung, had amended her will to grant O’Hara a life interest in her property, which Kwan believed prevented him from getting his own inheritance.

Kwan meticulously forged NHS documents, arranging a fake home visit for a COVID-19 booster vaccination, he disguised himself as a community nurse donning a wig, fake facial hair, medical mask, and gloves and visited O’Hara at home. It was there that Kwan administered an injection containing a toxic substance, believed to be iodomethane. Immediately after the injection, O’Hara experienced severe pain, and subsequently developed necrotizing fasciitis, a life-threatening flesh-eating disease. He required multiple surgeries and spent several weeks in intensive care.

This documentary unravels the extreme lengths that Kwan went to obliterate anyone who may prevent him from what he thought was rightfully his – his mother's inheritance. The Crown Prosecution Service, local residents, press and toxicologists unpick Kwan’s audacious plans that saw him sentenced to 31years and 5 months for attempted murder.

Good reviews.

Out this week.

 

When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist and the detective in charge are all left asking what really happened.

 

 

I thought the first episode was a bit dull, but I enjoyed the second episode last night - the trailer looks good. 
 

I just noticed it gets some great reviews on IMDb and rated one of the most anticipated releases of the year. 

Series 3 of Dark Winds has started.

 

 

Since I am a big F1 fan, I recently watched Season 7 of Drive to Survive. While it had its moments, I felt it didn’t quite capture the magic of some earlier seasons.

I finally got round to watching, "A Complete Unknown" and thought it was very good and Timothee Chalamet was really great in it and he sang the songs in the movie, as did the woman playing Joan Baez.

 

I was never really into any of Bob Dylan's songs, although it was my era, however listening to the songs from this movie has given me a real appreciation of him, his songs and the messages he was trying to put across – – although I will add that according to the movie he seems to be a bit of an r/sole!!!
