Recommended movies etc on Netflix/Amazon Prime II

I've just watched episode 2, and am wondering how they're going to pad this out over another 6 episodes. I don't find Mr Serial Killer very convincing, and can't believe that Mrs Serial Killer would have gone home to Canada, and then flown back to be with this twerp again.

I got through all 6 seasons of The Americans over Xmas, very impressed with it.

Some of the subplots are a bit ridiculous though.

Probably the reason why is though that he's never provided an explanation why he did what he did.

The article below kind of touches on that

*Spoiler Alert*

I mean a young woman traveling on her own with a bag of cash walks off at night to a sex club with two of the dodgiest geezers you would ever meet or the two 'tourists' with two massive rubies telling a complete stranger that they have two massive rubies.

It’s based on a true person so he was ultimately pretty convincing

There's a bit of a massive twist to the whole story though.

Hint, it's in the article I posted above.

Enjoyed the serpent, and also the disappearance, a french drama on iplayer. Very good.

Well obviously I don’t want to know the twist

I watched up to episode 3 then gave up.
It was so repetitive it was boring.

we are up to episode 5 now and it is beginning to irritate me now. The timeline that is non-linear and keeps chopping and changing doesnt help with engagement. I am very easily distracted - so i'll be watching the TV, and then turn away to answer a thread on a forum, and turn back to the TV to discover i have gained/lost 3 months, 6 months....... hard to follow.

Get a VPN then you can access UK iplayer

Ah good thinking twotone. I could do with a VPN for home-office purposes too - shallop look into that. Thanks!

Just finished Seasons 1 to 3 I found as box sets in the local charity shop.

Are the remaining seasons streamed anywhere ?

Re The Wire, all seasons are on Sky Atlantic.

Cheers BB

Watched The Chaperone on Prime last night. Gentle period drama, the type of thing Mrs C likes to watch. I was immediately drawn to the sound track, tho. The piano pieces were very familiar, including a Grade 5 piece I did in 2010 by Schuman - Von fremden Landern und Menschen. Lovely, and very well played by whoever did it.

We finished it tonight, things speed up a bit and gained some interest. All told apart from some boring bits in the middle we enjoyed it.

I just watched the first three episodes of Chernobyl - it's as good as you all said it was: first-rate TV!

I thought it was a load of Arsène myself.

Watched Band of Brothers again. Still manages to shock, amaze and get me emotional, after the umpteenth time of watching it.

One of the all time great tv series. And great music.
