Told myself I wouldn’t watch the latest Clarkson’s Farm season after the MM comments recently, but obviously caved and glad I did. I think it’s some of the best TV out there

There is some really weird stuff buried on Amazon prime. Recently stumbled across the full American Film Theatre series from the 70's, the highlight of which is probably In Celebration - A superb Lindsay Anderson theatre adapation from 1975 starring Brian Cox, Alan Bates, Bill Owen & James Bolam. The Iceman Cometh & Butley from the same series are also excellent. I'm sure I would have also loved Gene Wilder doing Ionesco were I still smoking a lot of pot.

The whole series has been really hard to find, so it's great to see it on a mainstream streaming service. Stacks of cool old B Movies on Prime, as well.

Some time ago, someone here mentioned a series that I had never heard of as being one of the best things ever written. I think it was a British production, possibly for BBC, and about 30-40 years old. If it jogs a memory, please let me know.

The Singing Detective?

Enjoyed it at the time.
The collated soundtrack is great as well.

If so, you are in luck. BBC4 have started showing the series, so you can catch up on iPlayer here. Episodes 1-4 available. Episodes 5-6 to come.

That'll be the one then. Superb.
Watched it (yet) again just a few weeks ago.

A Willie Nelson song featured in it very strongly. It’s an all time classic

The Mandolorian s03e03 is wonderful, it’s like they put their foot on the gas!

The swimmers on Netflix it's about two young Syrian Refugees girls and their cousin who are trying to get to Hanover in Germany.

Heartbreaking and very very prescient given recent political events here and in the refugee deaths Italy.

I watched RRR last night on Netflix, all 3 hours of it! Incredible on so many levels, and arguably the best sound effects I've ever heard.

I put this one in the same category as Everything Everywhere. Totally bonkers, but a visual spectacle and kind of fun if you are in the right mood.

I think I'm more of a Om Shanti Om fan.

The Menu.
About a very high end restaurant, and it's tasting menu - then goes very dark.

The Night Agent on Netflix is a well done, fun, but ultimately predictable spy thriller. Nice to see some unfamiliar, younger faces getting the lead roles.
