Recommended movies etc on Netflix/Amazon Prime II

Good slow paced spy thriller trilogy on Netflix. Page Eight, Turks and Caicos and Salting the Battlefield Starring Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon , Rachel Weisz, Winona Ryder, Ralph Fiennes Helena Bonham Carter and Christopher Walken to name a few plenty of good Jazz music in it too.

No idea if the show is any good as I’m part way through Ep 1, Deadly Class. The soundtrack is ace.

Drugs, extortion, prostitution, porn, money laundering, gambling, murder, credit card & mobile phone fraud, violent abusive relationships, protection money, corruption & human trafficking .... what did David Chase miss out?

But it never really looked at it from the victims standpoint for any length of time.

Fair enough, we did see some Artie and family, Adriana etc but it was called The Sopranos

I finished watching Elizabeth R on iPlayer yesterday. A stunning performance from Glenda Jackson.

I was toying with the idea of watching that again, along with Keith Michell's Henry VIII.

Both still good after all these years

Enjoyed Trial by Fire on the Flix last night. Worth a watch if you’re at a loose end

I loved the wire, all of it. If you haven't seen the Watchmen tv series...you haven't lived!

 

[tqineil]

Hope it's better than the film which I found disappointing tbh?

Watched first two episodes of ‘Your Honor’ it’s bloody tense.

Was it the Directors cut, it’s 24 mins longer.

Completely different to the movie... Which I didn't like at all... It actually made me retisen in seeing this series. This makes the movie feel like a flat pancake... Its that good.

It’s tense for about 14 hours! - it never lets up! - but worth it.

aye, seen both... not a touch on the graphic novel and the sex scene with Night Owl a bit cringeworthy - I enjoyed it on the big screen first time out but future viewings left me thinking 'if only'

Pity season 2 looks unlikely, quite like the movie but it’s not a regular, more of a once in a blue moon viewing.

The Mauritanian on Amazon prime, absolutely brutal expose of one mans treatment by the US intelligence/military complex

Yes, a really good movie, informative too.

Really enjoying for all mankind on Apple TV+.

Just finished watching the first season,it's very good in a P.K.Dick kind of way. Look forward to getting stuck into S2.
Cheers.
