Also binge watch Pennyworth, backstory of Alfred, Bruce Waynes butler set in an alternative 60's London, pretty good but quite violent in places.

Bunker77 is worth an hour and a half of your time if you're into 60s/70s California/Hawaii surf culture with a bit of Hollywood thrown in.
It's the rich to riches story of Bunker Spreckels, heir to a sugar fortune and the stepson of Clark Gable. His dad & Gable both die while Bunker's in his teens; his mum has a new baby, (Gable's, so the press go nuts about it/her) and Bunker's left pretty much to his own devices for most of his teens.
As his dad had close connections with the King of Hawaii, Bunker moves to the North Shore of Hawaii, gets mentored by local surfers - very rare for a white kid. He then turns out to be a surf god. He invents/shapes his own boards that are incredibly short and fast, surfs waves that none else has and looks like an alien.
Then on his 21st birthday, he inherits all the money and goes completely fucking mad with it
He becomes a rock star, an actor, a martial artist, a skateboarder, an even more incredible surfer and takes all the drugs all the time. Loads of dubious decisions (eg hanging with Nazis in South Africa c.73/74) but he packed a lot in tbf. His whole life was filmed, including screen tests for the part of Lucifer for Kenneth Anger that Anger later compiled into 'My Surfing Lucifer'.
Footage of the times is amazing. Tarantino must have loved all this source material for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Reminded me a bit of Gram Parsons. Undoubtedly talented but the money kind of negated his skills somehow. Like he could actually afford to do fuck all except surf. Sad that the 'surfer intervention' didn't work - lines of dmt/LSD/psilocybin could have been a goer if not for the massive amounts of heroin.

I’ve already posted this in the specific thread but make no apologies for repeating myself here, as Starzplay it’s an Amazon add-on. Castle Rock will be enjoyable to any Stephen King fan, the second season much more so.
Counterpart and Mr Mercedes are also on Starzplay and also very watchable, so assuming you can still cancel at any time, it’s well worth paying a fiver for a month’s subscription to check those series out.

Just watched the entire first series of the Swedish crime drama Beck
Watch Beck | Prime Video
en.wikipedia.org
It's from 1997/98 and is based on the Martin Beck novels by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö
The more recent series have been on BBC4 in the last few years - not seen this far back so a real treat for me and Mrs Angel as we love Scandi-Noir and all that jazz.
Worth a watch imho

Deadly Class is very watchable tripe for a rainy weekend.
en.m.wikipedia.org
Not sure if it’s free though- we’ve the Starzplay add-on and I have a feeling it might be part of it. I certainly wouldn’t waste any money on it if it requires an additional purchase- not good enough for that.

I watched the first episode of Hunters. The reviews aren't liking how the holocaust is depicted with a fictional game of human chess in the first episode but it's clearly not intended to be taken so seriously. It's more like a superhero/comic book/tarantino style with over the top violence and the nazi hunters will no doubt have special powers as the new recruit has already spotted patterns in a police map of Son of Sam cases. It's trying hard to be very cool and the performances are questionable with Pacino's mumbly jewish voice my main bugbear so far but I'll probably carry on watching.

It's all good, man
I found it a bit meh, and far too predictable.

Watched the first one last night. Odd yet very watchable - they did NYC in 1977 pretty well. Def got Tarantino/Inglorious Basterds about it. Will watch the rest, if only to watch Pacino mumble lines like "Let's get to cooking these Nazi cunts".

Hold your breath, a french sci fi disaster film. After an earthquake a deadly gas is released that swamps paris. Mathieu and anna must find a way to save their daughter who is trapped in a medical tank, an excellent.

Just watched Aeronauts. Don’t expect it to set your world on fire and the first 30 minutes is a bit turgid, but it then settles into a rather enjoyable hour’s character-driven story with some thrills and lovely cinematography. It’s worth 90 minutes of your time, I’d say.
Redmayne, whilst not much more than a notch better than Felicity Jones in the film, is at least 26000 feet above everyone else in it, by the way. He’s so believable as an actor that it actually draws attention to how unbelievable the supporting cast are.

There are some other great surf vids on Prime; not North Shore necessarily but well worth a few hours if you're into it - some of them only half hour or even 15 minute homemade jobs:
- A Life Outside
- It's On
- Behind The Tide
- Heavy Water
- The Still Point
- 80 Waves
- Gaza Surf Club
- Ocean Driven
eta I guess you've seen Watch Monster Energy Big Wave Tow-In Invitational | Prime Video ?
