What’s good to stream? Any platform. Newer programmes.

Fisk. ( Netflix) it’s quite a gentle character driven comedy set in a Melbourne.

We are loving Fisk!

 

[Silas Loom]

I've heard Succession is good.

It’s excellent. Not a single episode misses, and some are up there with this century’s best TV writing.

DLR should not be trusted an inch as a television reviewer, delightful chap though he may be.

It finished last year but I enjoyed most of Barry. It's about a hitman who wants to be an actor.

 

[nottsgirl]

Alice and Jack is ok. Channel 4.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Alice and Jack is ok. Channel 4.

Is it? I love both the lead actors and am interested because of them but I'm not keen on sickly "romance" stories.

Let’s just say I watched several episodes and left it on while I was in the bath and doing other assorted stuff and I didn’t feel like I missed much.

 

[rubbershoes]

Me too usually but both ofus loved Godless.

Rollicking good, bonkers fun.

Yeah Godless was good. Better than The English which started brilliantly but ran out of originality very quickly

Re Alice and Jack: I was thinking they should have swapped the female leads around to make it more understandable. Definitely not as good as One Day.

 

[danny la rouge]

Definitely not as good as One Day.

Re recommendations. City On a Hill is worth a look. I keep picking it and putting it down but it is watchable:

City on a Hill (TV Series 2019–2022) ⭐ 7.6 | Crime, Drama, Thriller

1h | 18

[Spymaster]

I think the last episode of Godless was the best finale I've ever seen.

 

[rubbershoes]

The last episode of Giri-Haji for me.

Completely mad but it worked so well.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Godless was class.

 

[nagapie]

Yes, we liked Atlanta.

Mo on Netflix is Atlanta like. Not quite as brilliant but very good.

Mrs LR and I are looking for something to binge together. But we can’t find anything. Maybe it’s choice paralysis, but there’s nothing we fancy together. We will consider getting a subscription if it’s a service we don’t have.

She doesn’t like sci fi or fantasy (although she loved Poor Things). She thought the Sopranos was the best thing she’d ever watched (I loved it too).

We recently watched and loved Mr Inbetween (Soprano vibes there - the family life of a hitman).

We tried Domino Day, although it’s not really her kind of thing, but it didn’t really catch our imagination.

We loved series one of Ted Lasso, series two was a huge disappointment, series three regained the magic to begin with, but then started dragging again with overlong episodes and too much schmaltz.

We watched Yellowjackets first season - I’d give it a 6 - but gave up on the second season. It wasn’t going to go anywhere.

There’s nothing really clicking. So what are we missing? Slow Horses was the last thing we both loved.

Not read the whole thread, so apols if a repeat, but Baron Noir

Also on iPlayer is Guilt which is very good. Not sure how old it is.
Dreaming Whilst Black is a good comedy. And not a comedy but Michaela Cole's powerful I May Destroy You is still up.
And if you liked Detectorists, Daisy May Cooper's This Country is also on there and is one of my favourite British sitcoms and also has that gentleness about it even though it's a mockumentary.
I watch a lot of iPlayer.

 

[nagapie]

And on Amazon Mare of Easttown.

I loved it. An old friend of ours did the costumes.

 

[danny la rouge]

Daisy May Cooper's This Country is also on there

Yeah, that was great too. Sublime.

 

[nagapie]

I loved it. An old friend of ours did the costumes.

It came to mind as soon as you said character and interpersonal drama. The dialogue is brilliantly written too.

 

[nagapie]

Yeah, that was great too. Sublime.

She's a good writer but This Country is her very best imo.

 

[belboid]

Which I still call 4OD. Fuck them.

So does everyone, they even acknowledged it themselves

 

[WouldBe]

Water is good for streaming.

There was a pub in my home town which went through many names but people just called it after the cafe that had been there before any of the pubs, “Crumbs”. (Crumb’s Highland Grill - Crumb being a family name, not an admission of the untidy tablecloths).

Anyone seen RoboDoc? It’s an excellent 4-part doc on the making of Robocop. Very thorough but fascinating - they interviewed everyone in detail, it’s stuffed full of clips from Robocop and other films, has animated sections to help tell the story and the music is perfect. It looks like they spent a lot of money on it, which is even more impressive considering it looks like it was crowdfunded (judging by the epic credits/thanks list).
Can’t be faulted
5 big fucking guns out of 5

Mr and Mrs Smith on Prime was reasonably enjoyable, if a little daft. A sort of Killing Eve vibe to it.

Still quite odd to license a film just to stick the title on a superior series which bears almost no resemblance to it.

Oh yes, Severance, Silo and Foundation on Apple TV - all excellent especially Severance, but Mrs la rouge hates sci fi unfortunately.

I liked Silo very much. Just tried Severance and it isn’t for me. Will check out Foundation now.
