Dead Water Fell - Another UK drama with a soft final episode. Be really nice to end a series with a twist or WTF moment. They’re all so weak at the end.
Sooo...Netflix..I need some advice here, hopefully someone like @Stu_of_Kunming is around (hope you are OK over there, Stu). It's a niche question from a "citizen of nowhere", apologies in advance..
So I signed up for it, and it appeared to know (because of my IP address, as they later confirmed) that I was logging in from CZ and charged me in Czech crowns, and, to my irritation, slightly more than the £5.99 deal that was offered in UK money (£6.65 since you ask).
So I had a look round what was on offer to me and noted with approval series 1 of Sunderland, as well as some Czech material with English subs, which will be nice. But when I looked for Occupied (the Norwegian drama) it wasn't there. Eventually it emerged that their libraries are modified country-by-country. According to the girl on the chat, if I would be visiting the UK, I could watch Occupied with my existing sub. but there's no point in "downloading" to watch offline in the hope of watching it back here, it won't be possible to view (which technically I find a bit odd, because to me downloading means it's on your device's hard drive).
Previously I couldn't understand why, when we discussed VPNs, people said "good for Netflix". It's a paid service, a VPN won't give you access if you haven't paid. So is it that people use a VPN so that they can access the US or UK libraries to access the most interesting content for them? if anyone does this, how sharp is Netflix, compared with the BBC in patrolling VPN use? Do you think I could switch between a Czech and UK IP address using my VPN pretty easily according to what I want to watch?

Lots of VPN's are blocked by Netflix but some do work. My VPN (Windscribe) has specific Netflix servers and they've never been blocked.
Just saw the first Curb Your Enthusiasm. Agree with the above it had its itsnny set pieces, but was a bit Curb by numbers, and seemed a bit forced. I'll keep up with the series though.
New series of Inside No. 9 starting... Now that I'm very excited about

But why do you use a VPN for Netflix in the first place? Are you also outside the UK?

Half way through Stockholm Requiem. Excellent nordic fare.
I thought I'd seen 2 episodes of this, but it seems to have disappeared ? Am I going crazy ? (yes obvs).
There's a trick I mentioned previously for virgin media which is to create a series link. This has produced all 10 episodes. Seen first 8. All are two parters. Think it's excellent. Can also get on all 4 website.

Netflix usage is incidental for me. I use a vpn to watch live Charlton games that I'd otherwise be unable to see and for securing my devices when I connect to public wifi networks.

Thanks for the reminder. I went into hiccups, found the deleted episode 2 & managed to set up a series link.
Didn’t rate Cobra, think I managed 3 episodes before deciding it wasn’t for me.
I'm a bit undecided for now. Not that realistic imo......the lynching scene for example- in real life the bloke would have died & 2 coppers wouldnt have been able to stop a mob that size.

"The Stranger" from a Harlan Coben book but based in the UK, not the USA.
8 episodes and a finale with more of a twist than I expected.
Might be worth a watch, VG ?
only seem first episode so far.

Ending a cop out. Better than most of the style over substance stuff Sky release but I don't think anyone will be worse off for not watching
Daniela Nardini's legs.
The Outsider - Sky Atlantic, anyone watched? is it worth it?
