@deanclean It’s well worth a watch, there is also a documentary on the subject that is also worth a watch.
The power of Corporation is scary.

[deanclean]

@IH-GARY thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look for the documentary too!

@Giles i think all those things! I’ll look it up. Also seeing as you said the magic words….

Started with 'Ripley' and also found Andrew Scott great but oddly old for that part. Paused after S1 and watched the '99 film once again (with Matt Damon and so on), such a brilliant film. Still have to decide whether I want so keep on with the new series.

@endo - bear with it. I wasn’t sure after the first episode but stuck with it. It takes its time but worth sticking with it. Scott being too old is an issue though but you will end up forgetting about that.

Just watched ‘Baby Reindeer’ on Netflix. A pretty difficult watch at times but unlike anything I have ever seen.

[Gulliver]

You’re right @HeavyGenes, this is a great show and right down to costume looks amazing. Thoroughly enjoying it, but is it a one series and done deal?

[neph93]

It’s based on a famous novel of the same name and was (at great expense) I’m the 80’s. So yes, probably.

[HeavyGenes]

@Gulliver I have not read the book and haven’t looked into what the future of the TV show is. But the author of the source material is sadly passed. But he still might beat RR Martin to a new book.

[Gulliver]

@HeavyGenes that’s a genuine belly laugh from me. Likely a cold day in hell before we see “The Winds of Winter”

[Gulliver]

@neph93 Promising, thanks. So long as we don’t get another Lost on our hands.

Anyone watch Baby Reindeer on Netflix? Super fucking weird...I laughed, I cried, I said "JFCWTF?!". If you like weird shit, peep it.

"Black Sails" originally aired on Starz in 2014 (ran 4 seasons) and flew under the radar for many due to the small platform. My wife and I loved that show and it's an all time favorite for us. Netflix just picked it up and is streaming all seasons.

It takes place before the events of Treasure Island with many well known characters from the book.

This series is an absolute gem.

I never played the game and know nothing about it but the new Fallout series on Amazon has no business being this good. Just did ep 1 and “This season on…” and I can’t wait to keep going.

FALLOUT
Strong Finale, I liked it.

An upvote for Ripley here - the cinematography throughout is incredible. I would also recommend A Gentleman In Moscow, Ewan McGregor is very much on form.

I'm late the party, but started watching The Good Place last week, and am flying through it!

It amazes me how much they pack into each twenty minute episodes, perfectly bingable

[MQR]

Just finished Dark on Netflix and oh boy that was one hell of a tv show, currently watching Fallout on Prime, and i think next im gonna watch Ripley on Netlfix

My fav tv show is Sopranos so far nothing beat it ( i think Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul came close? )

Anw new to the forum, sorry if im overshare, cheers

[AdamJ]

We've been watching "For All Mankind" which is pretty good so far

@MQR welcome to the forum!
