We were stuck for something to watch last night and threw on Umbrella Academy episode 5. We watched the first 4 eps probably almost a year ago and gave up on it because it was so boring. But oddly enough, episode 5 was better than all of the previous ones that we remembered, so we might actually finish it off now. Must have been a slow-grower.

Mrs Wedge was just saying in the car how she liked the way they write this, clever stories with the cold cases and the way they link the characters in. Started season 2 last night.

It wont disappoint! We enjoyed it in our house!

I started Code 404 last night from Sky I think, easy to watch comedy, its not great but its a lazy watch with a few giggles. and its got Stephen Graham who I love.

Don't get too excited. I stuck with it, I wish I hadn't bothered. Hopefully you will enjoy it more.

Completed S3 of Gomorrah... Absolutely gets better with each series... Not sure who first recommended it on here... But, I thank you!
Have had my interest sparked about The Bureau so might give that a look before starting S4 of Gomorrah...

“The Last Dance” Superb series, had no more than a passing interest in Basketball, but truly impressed with this programme, great insight, would love them to do this type of programme with other Sportsmen or Women.

@Lord Tyrion - Finished season 3 of BorderTown. Another excellent season, solid ending, although hugely disappointed as this is supposed to be the last of it. A little joy as I can move on to season 2 of Deadwind.


First episode of "Warrior Nun" on Netflix, jury is still out

My wife insisted on subscribing to Disney+ for a month so she could watch Hamilton. I decided, therefore, to give The Mandolorian a go. Enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to the rest.

I didn't realise that was going to be the last one. It left a few things up in the air so I expected another series. I liked the characters on the whole, it was a little different.

I will be starting Deadwind 2 shortly but I started Ragnarok at the weekend. It is starting to pick up pace but it is a little slow still, I'm up to ep5. Worth it for the head teacher though :love:.

Warrior Nun is one I will be watching with my son, trying it anyway, so we need to coordinate our time a little there. Please post up if it is a duffer, save wasting time on it.

It does open a story to develop between Kari and Lena, and SECRI did get an extension so maybe it will get renewed, but read it's the last season :(

Edit:
I may be wrong, no commitment from Netflix yet, but a few posts suggesting it's popularity may get an extension https://www.thecinemaholic.com/bordertown-season-4/

Just started Fargo, totally hooked after two episodes, Billy Bob is perfect.

Didn't watch when it first came out as was a fan of the film and didn't like Martin Freeman putting on the American accent in the trailer. However, a mate kept telling me to give it a try, glad we did. Love it so far, humour is good, characters are good, cast is very good, going to have to shunt a few others sideways for a bit whilst we catch up 3 seasons :D

The actor is German apparently, moved around France and Switzerland as a child. That would explain the stilted accent. I can roll with that, remember the character was taken and then raised in Daneland ?. He has a good look though. Not as physically imposing as in the books but when he is in battle scenes, I've just seen a real doozer, he fits the role very well. I'm on the current series and it is a really good one so far.
