Finished watching A Very British Scandal on Iplayer - a truly vile set of characters. Claire Foy is superb as the Duchess of Argyll.
Binge watched it with my Mrs off the back of this. Cheers! Thought it was compelling viewing and hated both of them by the end of the three parter. Both despicable individuals, who you would never hope to meet. No moral compass to be seen…
Showing the British upper class at their worst - it was a compelling watch.
Just binged season 1 and 2 of Narcos Mexico, thanks to a recommendation on here.
What a stunningly intelligent piece of television. Faultless.
Anyone seen season 3? Obviously one of the main characters missing!
Have got 2 episodes left, that I'll be watching later this evening. One of my favourite series that I've watched.
Does season 3 live up to the other two?
I just finished season 3 this past weekend and already started to miss it badly😂. It's not as great as the first two seasons but as a huge fan of the whole Narcos franchise I still really enjoyed it. Have you watched the original Narcos series which is about the Colombian cartels? It's more intense and faster-paced than the Mexico spinoff.
I'm now watching Zero Zero Zero which also focuses on Mexican drug dealers plus American and Italian ones. I actually watched two episodes when it was just released in 2019 but didn't get around to watching the rest of it. It's really great.
Has anyone watched El Chapo the other series produced by Netflix? Obviously it can't compete with Narcos when it comes to budgets but I think I'll give it a try when I finish Zero Zero Zero.
El Chapo is excellent. You will enjoy it.
Thanks @bolloxbolder I just finished two seasons of El Chapo and currently on season three episode three. It's one of THE best shows I've watched this year. I think it's more accurate and more in depth than Narcos. It feels more real. Much as I like Narcos, I probably like El Chapo even more. What am I going to watch after Narcos, Zero Zero Zero and El Chapo? Nothing is as exciting/entertaining/realistic as these shows😂
Anyone seen death to 2021 (I've only just seen death to 2020!) On Netflix? Basically Charlie Brookers end of year screenwipe with an actual budget. Very funny
Thanks for making me aware of this. I thought it was very good. Not as good as Wipe (for me, at least because I miss Charlie Brooker himself) but still very funny. I particularly liked some of the new characters: Pyrex Flask is a cracker and the Hugh Grant character is just perfect.

Thank you to the person that give the heads up on 1883. First three episodes have been superb.
That was me. Good innit. Have you watched Yellowstone?
Cheers, really enjoying it. I haven’t no, but I don’t think it’s necessary. All I know is that the Dutton family are wealthy and own ranches in Yellowstone, so they must have made the journey!
Yellowstone is about a rich family of ranchers in the US. It’s set now, I haven’t seen it, but it’s fairly popular in America. 1883 is the prequel of that, when the family first moved from Texas to Nebraska/Oregon etc. They moved in a wagon with hundreds of German immigrants and fought disease, the natives etc. MTV have given them a huge budget for 1883 and so far from the 3 episodes Ive seen, it’s been well spent.
Just finished Stay Close, the latest Harlan Coben 8 part series on Netflix. Contains James Nesbitt, Jo Joyner, Richard Armitage and Sarah Parish. I wasn't convinced by the main female character. A good watch imo.
I also enjoyed the film Don't Look Up and Death to 2021.

We're halfway through Stay Close & enjoying it so far.

Midway through and very much enjoying it, as I did with the other Harlan Coben book adaptations - The Stranger, Safe and The Five.
However, I’m not liking the Barbie and Ken Characters. They’re a bit OTT 😬

Currently taking a bowel movement break from the new series of Cobra Kai. Like all the others its a lot of fun, definitely doesn't take itself too seriously and gets the nostalgia all right
Mr & Mrs SB having a quiet afternoon/evening working our way through Around the World in 80 days. On episode 4. Mildly entertaining but not sure it’s doing an awful lot for me. Not terrible by any means but can’t quite get much empathy up for any of the characters.

I’ve watched the first couple and they’re ok, a bit slow, not sure how many episodes there are. As it’s only on day 2 or 3, so if it’s only 5 or 6, it’s going to be rushed at the end.

Have you watched Yellowstone?
need to watch one to understand the other ?
Think it's on Paramount if anywhere?

That's what Mr F called them !
Such a splendidly silly program.
