Its an Add-on streaming service to Amazon Prime. Think its about £5 per month.
Yeah up until 6 Jan they were offering it for 99p a month for 3 months which I took up along with Acorn since it has a lot of foreign stuff which more than ever seems to be becoming my thing.
Sometimes you can get these channels for free trial periods of a week or 30 days. Re the current offer looks like you don't have to keep for 3 months. I'll probably ditch Starzplay after a month as really I just wanted to catch the last 5 episodes of Power II.
Currently enjoying the first series of The Girlfriend Experience. Anyone else seen it and if so know where I could catch series 2?
New to this thread but finished watching a couple of things recently:
- Industry, absolutely loved it! the Mrs & I can't wait for S2 - The Undoing, started well but a flat ending. I found Nicole Kidman's plastic face and her inability to move it really distracting - Ted Lasso, Superb TV amusing but has a real feel good factor about it - and we can all do with that right now eh!
I've just started the Last Kingdom and the first episode was impressive. Anyone else watched it through?
First two episodes released today with them out on a weekly basis a bit like the Mandalorian - Its good to have the MCU back, especially seeing how things will go now the first story is pretty much over.
Can only describe their first foray into a TV show style format (Plenty more are coming) as bizarre, kind of took that from the trailers anyway but where the story is going with this has yet to truly be revealed.
Quite an interesting approach though with each episode in the form of a sitcom through the decades so the first two were in the 50s and 60s, shot in Black and White and with a proper studio audience for the laughter etc.
Talking of Keely Hawes, just started watching The Tunnel and straight-up hooked.
Have you watched The Bridge....the original Scandi show on which this is based? Fabulous.
The Tunnel was a blatant rip-off of The Bridge, although not bad if you had not seen The Bridge. Series 1 even had much the same characters and story-line, transposed to an England-France setting. Didn't bother after S1, it gave me the hump. The Bridge has been the "inspiration" for several other dramas based around borders and police on both sides of the border there's that Finnish series that I found just too relentlessly grim, and a More 4 called Nordic Murders set on the German/Polish coastal border. I watched it all but mainly because we've been there on holiday. The Germans are basically useless with TV drama, I've concluded. I've already given up on two German series on Netflix.
Uncle Vanya. Presented as the piece of Theatre that it is on BBC iplayer. If you like that kind of thing (as I do) then you will like this, and if you can't sustain a complete watch in one sitting then you can watch it in 'acts'. Got Roger Allum (Peter Mannion in Thick of It) and Toby Jones (Lance in Detectorists) in it.
The Tunnel was excellent. Stephen Dillane and Clemence Posey were awesome, lots of expensive actors in it, good storyline, lots of tension and they weren't afraid to set the bomb off metaphorically

It wasn't a ripoff. It was a remake, under license.

Maybe I need to try again!
