Any one into the rom com's i've seen a couple of good ones recently and some not as good. 'Set up' it depends, It didn't start off great but ended on a good note I think. Other ones are series 'All the boys that I have loved before' and the 'kissing booth' I thought they were good. The movie 'After' was a bit intense. There is to be another one in the series out on Prime streaming. I think there is 2 or 3 in that series of films.

The 'holidate' if very funny. I watched 'work it' and thought was very good if you into dancing... 'Love guaranteed' was a bit of a strange one'. 'The perfect date' was ok. 'The last summer' was good too. There is one called 'love alarm' its to be out in March seems intriguing. I've a few more lined up aswell to watch. I like something either funny or series but not too mushy!

Always Be My Maybe is a good laugh.

In the "a bit mushy but not too serious" mould I watched Instant Family last night and it was enjoyable.

I think I came across that I've not seen either yet. I usually just see something i'd be interested and put it on my list to watch at a later date.

Watching a few series too. The queens gambit is very good.
The crown is good too. Loved emily in paris and the hook up plan.

The Half of It is a genuinely great Netflix original film(IMHO of course) that you might enjoy.

Up to episode 7 of The Valhalla murders....
It is really fantastic...more gripping as it goes along lots of twists and turns.

I’ve not watched it yet has anyone watched Capone yet ? I’ve read the synopsis of it and it seems to cover his final years which is interesting and it’s got a few actors I like in it.

I'm loving Superstore too

I'm just starting season 4... very easy to binge-watch

I also found this article via twitter on how they approached COVID-19 in real time, which I thought was interesting (... also the article contains some spoilers... be warned :pac: )

I think we only have up until season 5 on Netflix, wherein this is addressed in the newest, current season (season 6).

We just watched "Terribly Happy" a Danish crime drama.very good in an absurd Fargo like way.Worth a look,better than the Danish "the Shooter "that I watched the other night.kim Bodnia from the "the Bridge" stars in both and is good in both,anyone who watched Borgen will recognise alot of the casts.

Also finished watching White House Farm at the weekend, well worth watching.

Watched a very good French thriller.

Get In. It's about a couple and their child returning from a long vacation to find the people they untrusted to look after their property has decided to make it their home and call squatters rights.

No again Danni

I watched that Whitney Houston documentary, Can I Be Me?

I didn't know much about her and not really a fan. Had the overall idea she was in a destructive relationship with Bobby Brown involving drug addiction but did not know about her relationship with Robyn. That must have been such a toxic environment. Seemed to be that Robyn was the most stable one, maybe left hoping it would give Whitney a wakeup call but it went the opposite way.

Straight away the mother came off bad trying to steal the limelight and then the dad betraying her in later years too. Robyn finally leaving etc.

She herself also didn't come off great sometimes either when she was talking about her own daughter. She was saying something about how what really makes her happy is when her daughter shows she misses her when she's touring but it came across selfish and then in an interview when asked about Bobby's womanizing, her response was odd.

It's like Elvis and all the people he had around him and they could all see it getting worse but just kept enabling the situation or didn't know what to do.

Interesting to watch. The whole thing was just a mess with a very sad ending.
