Decent might be a fair stretch, but TV series "Peacemaker". It's a spin off from the last Suicide Squad movie starring John Cena as the most F'd up superhero wanna be I've ever seen. Written and directed by James Gunn who really should try normal mushrooms in his breakfast omelette. I think he's channeling Robert Rodriques machete vibe.

It's car crash NFK and I just put it on series record.

Euphoria is all the rage with the teenagers at the moment, which means that as a parent of a teenager I'm watching it too. It's not bad. Last week's episode was actually quite impressive.

Watched a couple of episodes last night, agree its really funny (once you get used to the strong Irish accents)

If you watched & enjoyed The Mandalorian, you will like this.
First 2 episodes have been great, as usual visually great but also good storytelling. Temuera Morrison once again plays Boba Fett, supported by Ming-Na Wen as the assassin Fennec Shand (also seen in the Mandalorian).
Thought all the episodes were right on the money, at a consistent pace.

Dirty John, first season is a real WTF, some women are so dumb!

Second about Betty Broderick, I saw her on Oprah years ago, if there is any truth to this series about it, I don’t damn blame her! Gaslighting on steroids, what an asshole

My old man was in the first SAS regiment in Swanbourne. He reckons that show is not even close to how his training was. The major difference, they were never yelled at like that.

I just finished watching 'The Last Kingdom', hot on the heels of finishing 'Vikings'. Both series totally grabbed me and I had a couple of days on my R n R's where I just chilled out and watched whole seasons.

Any recommendations on series like those?.... I can't read through 90 pages, so forgive me if this has already been asked/answered.

I haven't watched this, but read this article the other day and went WTF.
The discovery of the cult Japanese show Old Enough! was met with shock and disbelief by my children.

“They’re allowed to do that?” they asked slack jawed as they watched a two-year-old Japanese boy toddle across a road to a supermarket to pick up some fish cakes and curry sauce for dinner.

The premise of the show streaming on Netflix is that in each 10-minute episode a child sets off from home to complete a task by themselves for the first time. Often it involves them walking long distances and crossing several roads. They usually return triumphant with a laden shopping bag.

Hajimete no otsukai, which translates as “first errand”, has been screening on Japanese television for more than three decades.

2 years old? :shock: I could barely trust my kids to go to the toilet without supervision at 2 years old, let alone walk to the shops

Watching Hunted on 10.

basic premise, a bunch of 2 person teams start in the CBD and scatter, trying to avoid capture for (I think) 21 days.

Hand over the phones up front, limited funds, the drama is in how the hunters try to track them down. It really is an eye opener how much tech can be used to track your movements. hacking emails and social media, using telemetry to track vehicles, tracking location of mobile phones of potential associates.

Interesting and disturbing.

I've been watching Irma Vep on Binge. Interesting remake of a classic French film of the same name from the mid '90s, directed by the same guy (Olivier Assayas). Pretty strong cast, and three episodes in it's already living up to expectations!
