Independent Leyton Orient Forum

I watched a film on the Horror channel last night called Bait, I suppose it was like Deep Blue Sea but set in an Australian supermarket. The storyline was a bit predictable, the shark ate a few Aussies and then they electrocuted it and lived happily ever after.

Gangs of London- brutal and some very good action scenes
McMillions- slower than trying to order a big mac without gherkins
What we do in the shadows S2- funny stuff
The first team- from the makers of the inbetweeners, similar thing but football team lads.
Race across the world S2- battle of the bus journeys! Entertaining nonetheless

Anyone else watch the Eurovision movie?

I thought it was old-fashioned feel-good fun, with a decent splattering of laughs throughout. Also, Rachel McAdams is lovely.

Yep - watched it the other week and felt pretty much the same - fun film.

Have gone back to the Tum Burton Batman films to re-watch them with my young son as he's never seen them.

"Suburra: Blood on Rome" on Netflix.

Holy smoke!

Finally got round to Succession. Really enjoyable especially the bit where one of sons bought Hearts as a present for his Scottish father only to find out he actually supported Hibs.

Enjoying Get Shorty.
Also Rewatching The Wire- sublime.
Love on the Spectrum is well done.

Just finished watching The Looming Tower on Amazon Prime. It tells the story of the rivalry between the FBI and CIA in between the bombing of the US Embassy in Kenya and the 9/11 attacks. I highly recommend.

Fall Guys on the PS all morning

Spirited Away on Netflix this afternoon

Just finished watch Ted Lasso and I must say it was bloody brilliant. 8.7 rating on IMDb and it’s fully deserved. Hilarious. If you get a chance put it on you will not stop laughing. It’s on Apple TV

It’s A Sin on Channel 4. An incredible but really tough watch.

It's a Sin was just the whimsical feel good show I needed right now.

Edgar Wallace Mysteries

Just about to start season 5 of Hill Street Blues.

The Expanse is quite a good sci-fi for those that like to see that the laws of physics still apply.

Yes but surely you dont pay for that?

Lupin, would have preferred subtitles compared to the dubbing, but enjoyable and easy viewing. Plus its keeping her indoors away from Married At First Sight Australia.

Yes Lupin was very good. You can select French version with subtitles. I never watch with the dubbing.

I am presently in love with Call My Agent, another French series. Very funny and its good to watch something a bit lighter.
Looking forward to Zero Zero Zero, another drug thing from the guy who wrote the excellent Gomorrah.

No I don't, well not directly as such but indirectly through the phone offer apple were doing when I bought my daughter her new iPhone.

As we are in dark times the programme i mentioned is proper feel good uplifting and very funny.

my bloody computer monitor I'm at work.

a few things on netflix

Queens Gambit

Designated survivor (in some bits really good and some bits really cheesy)

Snowpiercer ( dystopian future thing which I can't make up my mind about)

I watched that recently. I found myself thinking it over as, like you, just couldn't make my mind up about it. But I think that's the point of the film, it' supposed to make you think. I've since decided that it's decent.

Even by Sci Fi standards it felt a little silly. Proper b movie acting all around meant I couldn't stick with.

Am late to the Kingdom bandwagon and enjoying it a lot.

Recently finished Le Bureau on Amazon Prime (Series 3 - 5 are on Sundance but if you're quick you can watch them in the free 7 day trial) - great series
Just started Spiral on iPlayer - quite enjoying it
Also dipping in and out of Utopia on Prime - mad !

Very much looking forward to Zero Zero Zero - if it's half as good as Gomorrah it'll be brilliant.
