What should I download to watch on a loooooong train journey?

[trashpony]

I’m going to Cornwall on Thursday and travelling alone. I have about 14 hours on trains to kill going there and back again.

I have Prime, Netflix and Disney + as well as the standard terrestrials.

I’d like something gripping and exciting, nothing visually 18 plus. I’ve got 3 episodes of Trigger Point to watch and that’s the kind of thing I like. I don’t really like watching funny things in public and would prefer series rather than films.

Thank you

Have you seen true detective? Tho maybe that's 18+

There's some good suggestions on this thread

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

I second Lupin. Omar Sy is really good. On Apple+ I thought The Morning Show was very good. I thought Reese Witherspoon would act Jennifer Aniston under the table, but she held her own. I thought it was a really intelligent and interesting and thoughtful take on #MeToo in the context of office...

Lots of people are telling me Griselda is good on Netflix.

Definitely 18+ though.

I think Trashy is wanting to make sure that nobody else catching a view of her screen sees hardcore shagging, basically. Or cum water slurping.

Have you seen Only Murders in the Building on Disney?

Plenty of that in Griselda. Especially cum water slurping.

I’d happily watch 3 seasons of that on the way to Cornwall.

Zip. Zilch. Nada. Totes spunk free zone that!

 

[davesgcr]

"The Train" - starring Bert Lancaster - or maybe "Von Ryans Express"

Or something amusing such as Withnail and I .....

 

[Throbbing Angel]

There's loads of Dennis Potter stuff available too.

iPlayer has The Singing Detective

All4 has Cold Lazarus, Karaoke and Lipstick on Your Collar

That's very good.

I watched two episodes but it didn’t grab me, sorry.

I’ve watched both series of traitors too recently to want to binge in another country. Seen all of Singing Detective. Will have a look of the other ones. The Devon and Cornwall one could be good.

Will take a look at that other thread thanks UnderOpenSky

If you liked Traitors, The Trust on Netflix is kinda similar and very addictive.

As recommend on another thread, 'the righteous gemstones' there are 4 seasons, ive only seen one though

If you're not arriving too late, the view from the left hand side as you go past Dawlish is really fantastic!

I’m not! Thanks. I’ve only been at night before so I may well spend most of my post brizzle time looking out the window

Stare out the window or read a book.

Don’t look at a screen.

There is some stunning scenery on that journey, starting from the River Exe, through Dawlish and Teignmouth and over the spectacular Tamar Bridge.

Admittedly this is train nerdy niche stuff, but the country station at St Erth is a beaut and still has Victorian era signalling

It’s likely to be quite damp down here Thursday which may hinder views but yes the scenery from Exeter to Newton can be spectacular, do make sure you’re sitting on the LHS of train if you can

I think if anyone is going to spend 14 hours on trains they deserve to stare at what they want, when they want, how they want etc blah.

It'd drive me nuts, I couldn't read or stare at the scenery for that long. I'd nod off and have me shoes nicked and cider swiped.
