Watching The Last of Us...again. I talked the wife into watching it and she loves it too. I don't know why but the Bill and Frank episode really got me both times that I watched it.
The last series I binged was NF's The Gentlemen and yes, it was worth it. I was thoroughly entertained.
The story, without major spoilers, revolves around the outstanding Theo James (Eddie) who is forced to leave his British
military captaincy to return to his aristocratic family's manor due to his Father's failing health.
This leads him to meet his brilliant co-star Kaya Scodelario (Susie) who Eddie discovers, to his surprise, had an illegal business
arrangement with the Father to help keep the manor going. The two of them form a platonic (yet smouldering) partnership born
of necessity and soon become entangled with a number of evil, greedy criminals all vying for a bigger slice of the illegal drug
trade. Most of these colorful thugs are just way, way out there and hilariously portrayed.
The show is fast-paced and cleverly written. Very snappy dialogue. My pitch for it would be that this series is stylistically a sort of Downton
Abbey meets The Krays. It set it's hooks in me fast and I really looked forward to each episode. The settings, intelligence, humor, and slick style of it
was top-notch and I recommend it highly
Stuff you like. I'll have to borrow a brain when I watch them.Yeah, I thought it was pretty good as well.
Just finished "Fool Me Once" on NF. Very nice ending with a twist I didn't see coming.
Watching 3 body problem now.
Oh and if they don't eventually say it, the planet in the game is in the Alpha Centari system. That's a trinary system and its ~ 4 light years away. They mentioned that distance at one point.
Came here to post this! I loved it, slow moving and dark. Great stuff.Ripley -- an 8 episode offering on Netflix
a re-treatment of The Talented Mr. Ripley movie presented film noir-style -- a wonderful ride for your intelligent inner criminal mind
it's so dark, I think Bob Kraft had a hand in producing it
Finished. Very good, though writing seemed to weaken as it went. Not unusual. beautiful scenery, excellent photography., And as it turns out, Beth beats the shit out of pretty much everyone.Finally. My Annie and her sig other Mark gifted us with access to Hulu, Disney+, and Peacock and wouldn't let us contribute to cost so, on,peacock we've just started Yellowstone. Favorite early on scene, Beth beats the shit out of her asshole brother.
