West is BEST
Her voice didn’t fit her face.

Mooey like a model

Voice like Bernard Manning getting turked by a bear.

Done a Frexit, now in London
I just finished watching "the girl across the street from the girl in the window"

Not really sure what to make of it, just a strange type of thriller with some dark humour (unless that's just me) thrown in. Did not predict the ending which is good as it was not obvious.

Just Finished S3 of the Lincoln Lawyer. Looks like S4 is coming next year.

Just finished season 1. Definitely watchable although a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the reviews I've subsequently read have suggested poor cast with good material and also the opposite. Bit of both at times, but the story kept my interest to the end now starting into season 2.

Ancient Apocalypse Series 1 & 2 is excellent. Graham Hancock is such an erudite and listenable author. His books are bestsellers for a very good reason.

Is it as good as Kaos ?

Enjoying it up to a point. Well filmed, well acted. Essentially tho an Arab-Israeli conflict soap opera comprising 4 seasons of 30 minute implausible episodes. Very much doubt I'll stay the course into Series 2
I think only the actor's friends and families made it onto S2. Started out with great promise though. Better off rewatching Ripley.

Started watching The Diplomat. Very apt at the moment. US & UK diplomats struggle with their President & Prime Minister over Russia. Should they bomb them?

Watching Sweet Tooth, it's a 12r, with the kids.. find it hard to find good series for the family on Netflix sometimes, so highly recommend this, it's a great watch. Breezed though S1 this last week, started S2 last night

If you’ve not already watched them our family really enjoyed the good place and atypical and my 14 daughter is obsessed with Lost!

We watched A Man Called Otto last night. Great movie that takes you through the whole range of emotions. Hanks excellent as always.
I thought it was Ok but certainly lacked something, Rolf Lassgård was superior imho in A Man Called Ove.

Ove

Otto

I felt similar with the excellent Rams, the original much more gratifying.

With Tom Hanks in it is good, but the original 'A man called Ove' IMO was better as a film and worth a watch.

I'll take a moment to recommend the English translation of the Swedish book on which the film is based, which I read first. A Man Called Ove.

The ending of Lost is pathetic, I liked the show but surely they could’ve come up with something better than that.
Agreed..the problem with not having a fully thought out written show rather than making it up as they went along..I’m not telling my daughter that though as she fully believes all the mysteries are going to get solved!

Absolute stacks to like about the forthcoming Stephen Graham drama, Adolescence.
The hard-hitting series brings together the director of Boiling Point and co-writer of The Virtues.

Adolescence tells the dark story of a family whose lives are turned upside-down when 13-year-old Jamie (Owen Cooper) is arrested on suspicion of murdering a teenage girl who attends his school.

His father, Eddie (Stephen Graham), is chosen as the boy's appropriate adult, which is a legal term for someone over 18 years old who is allowed to support a child being held in custody.

Top Boy star Ashley Walters will also play a key role in Adolescence as DI Luke Bascombe, who will be tasked with piecing together the truth of the horrific case.

Adolescence is directed by Philip Barantini, whose culinary nightmare Boiling Point (also starring Graham) earned acclaim for its presentation as a single continuous shot.

The filmmaker is building on this success with Adolescence, where each of the four episodes will borrow the same filming technique, which Netflix hopes will keep the "focus on the main characters and the unparalleled drama as it unfolds in real time".

Promises to be pretty fantastic.
