For anyone subscribed to Netflix, I can heartily recommend the following series:

Nobody’s Looking - a Brazilian comedy about guardian angels

The Neighbour - a Spanish comedy about a super hero

The Newsreader was great. Outstanding writing, acting and production values. Set in the 80s so of particular interest to oldies. I think it's still on iview.

I thought Total Control would be as good as The Newsreader. It's OK but nowhere near as good. Same with Fires. 

The 4th and final season of Goliath was brilliant ... of course, I am a big fan of Billy Bob Thornton but the whole cast really nailed series 4

Set in dark, damp Chinatown (San Fransisco) series 4 is for 'Noir' fans. Be prepared to be surprised ... the best show I've seen this year!

And the first season of 'Only Murders in the Building' was very funny and very entertaining

Marty Short & Steve Martin were just mesmerisingly good ... and there's more to come.  The sort of show you can watch on repeat

I liked it all but season 4 was terrific.  The show was also about so much more than the courtroom drama's that eventuated

But that's just my view ... each to their own

I thought season 1 was great with all the dynamics (ex partner ex wife etc) but after that...

Have you seen Bosch? Great plot but the back story is like watching CFC highlights

No but Bosch is on the list ... to be honest, I've been flat-out at work during lockdown working enormous hours for the last 2 years

Quietened off already so time to catch up on movies & TV drama

There's probably 10 good shows that I don't know of ... a bit out of touch!  Bosch soon enough though ... at least the first 3 eps

If you are a Billy Bob fan, and why not, I assume you have seen Fargo? and any othe r recommendations?

Naturally you have seen mathew Mc in True Detective?

Yeah seen 'em all ... Sling Blade was a tremendous film (BBob)

I can remember debating the worth of True Detective S2 with AF here.  I really liked it and thought with time, it might be appreciated better.   But there again I'm a Colin Farrell fan as well (how good was 'In Bruges'!)

Still haven't seen True Detective series 3 ... any good?

Better Call Saul is very good. Others such as Ozark & Homeland are good

And we're going to see another series of Dexter ... that'll be interesting

Edited by Macca

True Detective - got half way the 2nd series.....

Better Call Saul - I was into Breaking Bad but got nearly to the end;  I asked a friend how did it end and they said What do you think?, so I stopped.

Ozark - yes. (There is a line in there where the wife says she would like to start a new life in the middle of nowhere, Mullumbimby, which is inland from Byron Bay. Obviously the writer has been out that way)

Any comedy or sci fi?

Curb your Enthusiasm new series has started out ... as previously mentioned Only Murders in the Building

'Barry' is good, The Kominsky Method is decent

As for Sci-fi ... got a bit to catch up on as there is a bit about

'Dark' is supposed to be good,  Glitch season 3 to watch.  Have they made any more of 'Black Mirror'?

Dexter* is back and the first episode was very good ... I'd give it an 8.5/10

A few surprises and a totally different location but a fair bit to work with re the new (and old) characters

Yellowstone is terrific ... watched the first 2 episodes and I'm already hooked

 

*The official Showtime podcast is available through Podbay ... Michael C Hall features on the first podcast of the new series

The Dexter New Blood series has finished

Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable revisit but with a few unanswered plot-holes 

But satisfying nonetheless especially when considering how the original series finished off

So no spoilers right now as many might not have watched as yet

Quite liked Barry,  though the 2nd season has some stupid plot lines.

I am also watching You on the Flix though it is getting a tad repetitive.  Worth a good look.

The Expanse, Amazon Prime. Best SF going around at the minute.

After Life Season 3 on Netflix- excellent.  Reservation Dogs on Foxtel - fantastic.  100 Foot Wave on Foxtel - terrific.  Mandalorian on the Disney Channel - fantastic.  Hellbound (Korean) on Netflix - fantastic.

Recently viewed 4 mini series

Safe (8.0)

The Five (7.5)

The Stranger (7.5)

Behind her Eyes (7.5)

All British productions and all are in the Mystery/Thriller genre

2 Mini-series that are above average good for their genre.  Both best described as  meandering horror with some real mystery thrown in

'The Outsider' (Stephen King) & 'Midnight Mass' (Mike Flanagan)

New Season of 'Better Call Saul' released

2 episodes available with episode 3 out shortly

I have been watching the Flight Attendant....there are flash backs forwards ups and downs, lots of drinking, noise, shouting etc....I think it would be just as enjoyable if you played the episodes out of order (see also Killing Eve)

The last 6 episodes of Better Call Saul kicked off last night ... a brilliant episode to begin the countdown to the finale

I'm not the best TV watcher at the best of times but I've been giving the documentary version of The Staircase a go and I'm right into it. Anyone seen it?

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.

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
