No, but I might take a look, layz

Just watched the 1st episode of 'The Old Man' starring Jeff Bridges & John Lithgow and I'm hooked already ... Action/Mystery/Thriller

The 2nd series of 'Only Murders in the Building' is out ... it's a lot of fun esp if one likes Steve Martin & Marty Short

Worth the time Macca, very easy to get into and go along for the ride.

Scene previews for The Old Man and I'd love to give it a go. Heard it took a while to make because Jeff had the cancer scare during filming. 

And Only Murders In The Building looks like a good watch too. That's on Disney yeah? I've only got Netflix and Prime so I've spread myself a bit thin!

The documentary is fantastic. Inside the legal team bunker during the running of the hearing is rarely seen. Very interesting viewing and a few twists along the way. Loved it. 

I think that's what I like the most about it and to have been doing this around 2001-2003 would have been well ahead of its time. 6 eps in, can't stop watching!

I was very surprised and loved how much of the legal team meetings and strategies were put to air. Enthralling viewing. Enjoy a long night ahead lol. 

 

One of the better and more interesting music documentaries is now showing on Netflix… Gurrumul.  I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Also pleased to see there are new series of What We Do in the Shadows and Succession available and coming, respectively on Foxtel.

I love Succession because it is one of the only shows I’ve ever seen in which every single character has absolutely no redeeming features.  

What We Do in the Shadows is simply Taika Waititi magic.

Without giving too much away the show has entered the Nazi era.  Only 2 eps in but it will be fascinating as to how they deal with that. 

Dark times but the show was always heading in that direction

@Ethan Tremblay @Maccabeen a while since I visited this thread. Black Mirror was a great recommendation, well and truly hooked...cheers fellas. "Metalhead" was probably my fav episode amongst some very good episodes, don't think I took a breath the whole time. 

@hardtack Hellbound was excellent. South Korea have some really great shows on Netflix.

Binged a bit over the holidays, came across a series called Slow Horses (spy thriller) on Apple TV. Gary Oldman is very good in it I thought and the comedy is gold.

I haven't tried Black Mirror yet which is surprising because that would be right up my alley. Would like to see Slow Horses but I've only got Netflix and Prime!

Slow Horses was good, Gary Oldman most definitely was the standout. His character was just so gross (and agree, also comedy gold). 

The only other series that have really kept my interest lately are Yellowstone, 1923 (prequel to Yellowstone) and Your Honour. I’m also looking forward to Succession returning, one of my all time favourites.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Westworld was great, for those DnD fans out there Vox Machina is awesome, made by the critical roll guys, so much don't have the time to post them all.

I liked Westworld, although I thought the final season was a bit weak.  The series' I've been enjoying lately are:

His Dark Materials Season 3 (Foxtel) - all three seasons have given an excellent interpretation of the three books in the trilogy.
Cunk on Earth (NetFlix) - very funny mocumentary in which genuine historians etc are interviewed to lend credence to Cunks views.
The Last Of Us (Foxtel) - based on the video game the action takes place in a dystopian post apocalyptic world; I was a bit dubious at first, but so far, having watched the first 4 episodes, this is a brilliant show!
Wednesday (NetFlix) - a very enjoyable series based around Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family; typical Tim Burton stuff.
Raised By Wolves (Foxtel) - started off really well, but then they pulled the plug on it at the end of season 2, with so much left unresolved.
War Of the Worlds (SBS On Demand) - all three seasons are fantastic!

Dark (NetFlix) - another that started off really well, but by the final season had gotten itself so mixed up in its parallel universes, that it could only ultimately disappoint.

1899 (NetFlix) - same team as made Dark, but this is a much better series involving time shifts.

A Spy Among Friends looks the goods.  Set in the cold war 60's centering around Kim Philby

Stars two of my favourites ... Guy Pearce & Damian Lewis.  Anna Maxwell also stars in the show and is very good

I’ve been a bit remiss with my TV show watching of late. I did however, make a very late start on Kim’s Convenience on Foxtel. I love it. It’s full of quirky characters and is presented as a series of moments during each day. Roughly edited but entirely charming. It concerns a convenience store run by a Korean family in Toronto in Canada.

I have watched a couple of Star Wars related series on the Disney Channel including the Mandelorian (very good) and Andor which was fabulous!

Anyone finish Succession? Also recently finished Dark Winds, can also recommend this one (two seasons out now). 
I recently signed up for ‘Binge’ again as they had a $2 per month for three months deal. It’s the version with ads but there isn’t many at all.

I have finally got around to watching Lupin on Netflix, and now I’m kicking myself for leaving it so long! This is seriously one of the best shows I’ve had the pleasure of watching… ever!! Brilliantly acted with Omar Sy from the film Intouchables in the lead role, incredibly well scripted, it’s the TV equivalent to a page turner!
I’ve watched this first two seasons in two days and will watch the third and most recent tomorrow and am already feeling sad that I’ll be up to date because that means I know I’ll have a long wait for the next season. If you haven’t already seen this, I urge you to do so now… you will NOT be disappointed!!

Thanks HT.. I’m currently looking for a new show to Binge and this will now be it. I have to admit, I’ve seen Lupin when scrolling through before but for some reason, never looked into it. Cheers.

If you have Foxtel there’s now a second season of Julia, which I also highly recommend. It’s based around the TV cooking show host Julia Child. Really well written and cast, it’s a really enjoyable and entertaining show.

I gotta say I was really into Succession and got up to the last season but never finished it. No real reason but I'm not much of a binge TV watcher and something else probably came up which made me forget. Worth finishing?

I thought it was definitely worth seeing through… the final season was probably the weakest, but it still rates as one of the best shows thanks to it consistently being above average.

If you have Netflix and haven’t already been watching, Kim’s Convenience is a terrific series that’s been running for maybe 5 seasons, each of 10 episodes (I think it is).

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
