    Is Season 5 the latest one with Stephen Graham in it? Line of Duty is excellent.

    Yes, indeed. I can't really say much more than that without entering spoilers territory :) He's excellent though.

    I think this has been the best season so far; it's like a coiled spring being wound, the tension ramping up over the first five episodes, culminating in an explosive finale.

    Cannot wait for SE06, partly filmed in my hometown.

    Have been watching Spotless the last week or so. Crime scene cleaner starts cleaning for gangsters to hide crimes.
    Nothing spectacular, but v watchable and hasn't dropped into crime of the week at all which helps. I'm still intrigued where it will end up.

    I was reading this post and getting an odd feeling of Deja Vu, turns out Id already watched it back in 2016!
    apparently it was to get a 2nd season but never did. I remember enjoying it a lot at the time.

    Great. Looking forward to it.

    If I'm correct then your home town may be the town I've blown into.

    Am I right in saying that some of it was filmed in Bray?

    They did? I was under the strong impression that it was due to David Fincher not having enough time to do it because he's a control freak and not Netflix themselves.

    I'm really enjoying 'To the Lake'. It's set in Moscow during a pandemic and it's dubbed in English. Half way through it now with its eight episode season. It has been renewed for a second season according to Russian media, and may air the end of next year with filming expected in early to mid 2021.

    I've watched 3 episodes, it's not bad, Polina is quite striking

    I second this! However I would recommend subtitles and original voices . The dubbing just doesn’t Work for me !

    Recent quotes suggest they weren't getting enough viewers to justify the high production costs. But if they're willing to give him $100,000,000+ then they can surely push the boat out for one more season (BTK killer needs to be covered).

    I've seen it savaged by some critics. But sure it's all just opinion at the end of the day.

    yea finished it last night - really enjoyed it, was sorry it finised. opened up a whole new world to me regarding Chess.

    It so well made and the 60's set design was so well done I thought ( brought me back to Mad Men) - Anya Taylor-Joy was brilliant !
    Really enjoyed it, + 1 on your comments on set design and Taylor-Joy, she really got the dynamic of a chess player off to a tee.

    I added a movie to my list on Amazon called Elsewhere but I mistakenly thought it was Netflix and after watching a very different movie to the one I originally added, I found Elsewhere to be fairly good.

    Elsewhere 2019 starring Aden Young and Ken Jeong.
    After the death of his wife, Bruno fights a battle with the in laws over the ownership of the house he built with his recently deceased wife.

    Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
    Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within. From the imagination of writer-director David E. Talbert, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility. Featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and This Day performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé.

    The Life Ahead

    The Sign of Venus (1955 sophia loren)
    While suitors swoon over her cousin, a single woman takes initiative in finding herself a partner after receiving a favorable romantic fortune.

    The Minions of Midas

    I was going to watch the new Liam Neeson flick - Honest THief on Netflix last night. I thought it was a Netflix movie. But I couldn't find it on the search bar.
    Is it not available to us?

    I really enjoyed it too. It's a bit Hollywoodesque at times, but I found it entertaining and even charming at times. Looking forward to the next season. As other have said, watch it with subtitles. Watching anything dubbed is a crime against entertainment.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Run away now before the haters find you.

    I've encountered hate watchers before and people who like to drag on a show, I've been guilty of it myself but my god the Trekkies who dislike Discovery (and it's not all of them) seem to get some sort of sexual gratification out of tearing the show to shreds rather than just stop watching like any sane person might.
