Oh I tried. Who does not want to be entertained. Starting watching many different programs and they were all the same, pushing an agenda. Eventually I realized I had not logged in in over a month so just binned it. Even series which started really well turned to the usual tedious predictable social engineering projects. It is not just Netflix to be fair, the BBC are horrendous for it as well. Not sure if it was Netflix but Game of Thrones was brilliant to begin with and by about mid way through series 4 I started to find it unwatchable, usual reasons. The Last Kingdom, which I really loved is sadly now the same. Stalled half way through the last series and find myself switching it off after 20 mins now. Same story. Hollywood has not made a movie I would watch in years. I can pretty much get anything I want for free and I still don't watch it! Occasionally one slips under the radar but so few none spring quickly to mind. Just take the Star Wars franchise for one small example. Who watches that utter arse gravy. Utterly ruined. I would really like to find something better than Netflix. I'd like something that specializes in sub-titled or dubbed non-US made stuff (which is almost universally garbage these days). No surprises for me this Squid Games was made outside the US. That Italian Mafia one was very good as well and held its integrity pretty much throughout. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit for my IPTV provider to get Squid Games though. edit: just checked and no Squid Games. A few Squirt related movies in the adult section is all that came up. 😀 Edited November 3, 2021 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaff Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I tend to watch more subtitled series too. Fauda is excellent if you haven't seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 ‘Dark’ is one of the best things I have seen on Netflix and its content is suitable for haters of all things woke. As is the Bulgarian show Undercover ( not to be confused with a Belgian show the the same name ) , but it doesn’t seem to be on any of the main streaming sites just now. Just finished The Undoing. 😕, stuck with it as it was only 6 episodes but found the 2 main actors, Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman, pretty crap. What is the appeal of Hugh Grant, I have never quite got the hype. Kidman murders ‘Dream A Little Dream of Me’ in the theme tune as well , for some reason you couldn’t skip it so had to endure the pain every episode. She looks fantastic though .

dan cake Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Iv no idea how Cobra got a second series, it’s laugh out loud bad. The cast must be pissing themselves reading the script, not Begbie’s finest moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not I actually spent a few hours drinking with Hugh Grant after a Fulham game a few years ago. He's a really nice guy, very down to earth. Interestingly he admitted to 'stealing a living as an actor,' 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he is a nice guy, it is his acting I dont rate too highly, though by the sounds of it he knows that himself . My acting isnt too great either, though still better than my singing . He is just too stereotyped, it was hard to take him serious in this programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be the toff accent that stereotypes him, though I don’t particularly like Guy Ritchie’s work so would probably hate him in that film but for a different reason 😁 There is so much choice these days . I used to be happy watching anything but the high standard of some shows makes me really picky. I came across this the other day. My favourite pre school programme .

He is just too stereotyped, it was hard to take him serious in this programme. This was quite a few years ago, we were down for a family christening. Mrs Slasher's uncle (sadly no longer with us) was very 'well to do' and lived in Hammersmith. A few of the guys had season tickets for the cottage and we all went along to Fulham vs Southampton I think and then went for beers afterwards. Hugh Grant came in with a couple of other guys and sat at our table. I told him up in Scotland, he'd be known as Shug. He said he 'rather liked that' and so Shug he was for the rest of the night. We spent a few hours on the beer and then switched to red wine. Just before he left he bought a rather expensive Italian red, drank half a glass from it and left us with the rest. Top guy is oor Shug, I won't hear a word against him lol 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually hear him saying ‘ I rather like that ‘ 😁 He would be a top guy in my book too if he left a bottle of expensive wine.

exile Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Not a series, but it seems there's a TV programme on tonight (10pm, BBC Scotland channel) about a guy living as a hermit living off the land by Loch Treig for 40 years. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-59174870 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Almost finished season 3 of Goliath. Not sure what to think, the weirdness adds something to the show but can also be a bit unnecessary at times. Billy Bob Thornton is great though, all in all I think i like it.
