Just finished (assume finished) season 2 of “the lioness”.. Thoroughly enjoyed it although writer/producer writing himself into the show was unexpected
Can’t say much without spoilers but enjoyable if you don’t take it to seriously -
@bayimports I just tried to start S1E1 this weekend but thought it was pretty shit. Girl with no training kicks ass, gets thrown into a huge situation straight off the bat and knows exactly what to do. Does it get remarkably better?

From memory I think they did explain her experience fighting in later eps, but youre loosely following on. Basically how she becomes part of a CIA hit squad. (if you can get passed the believability piece then its ok)
I also like "the day of the Jackal", but if anyone thinks it is remotely possible for Lashana Lynch to chase and get close to Eddie Redmayne in a race through a forest with her ass the size of a small tank, then believability is also not a criteria high on the list for a lot of action programs these days.
Still a good watch though

Haven't seen it but Redmayne is hardly the most manly man.

Oh dont get me wrong, if she caught him, he would be pummeled (and that would also be funny) but there is no way she should even get close in a foot race

I think that happened a long time ago when action heroes all of a sudden could take a beating that would place people in a critical condition in intensive care . But they'd be able to overcome and simply walk it off.

Could be interesting.
Haven't watched it yet.
Edit: - watched one episode - pretty bloody good.

Secret Level
Animated series on Prime video (think Love, Death + Robots) with some pretty kick arse stuff for the nerds, which I am.
Anthology style and really top quality animation. Just binged the lot
I am entertained
@NTA You might have only watched half - it is a 16 episode series, with the second half dropping tomorrow
-
@Stockcar86 you're right.
Awesome
-
I'm on E4
Really enjoying it

Just watched the last episode of Yellowstone. Outstanding series if you haven't seen it. I binged all 5 seasons in three weeks.

Just started watching this and it’s really quite watchable. I’d like it to make up its mind though if it wants to play it for laughs or is a thriller as it seems to fall between the two.
Edit: Christ I’ve just re-read this. I wasn’t even drunk when posting.. my excuse is that I’m recovering from a serious bout of man flu. But hey @MiketheSnow understood 😀

So. Finished Black Doves and found it easily watchable but a little unsatisfying. Now watching The Pembrokeshire Murders, a dramatisation of a true crime investigation in South Wales looking at some interlinked cold cases. Luke Evans is the main guy and is, as you would expect, very good. I found it helps to do a little reading up on the story beforehand to give you a flavour, this doesn't (so far) give any spoilers as you pretty much know the outcome in advance but the story itself is quite absorbing. 2 Eps in so far and really enjoying it.

Good show
