I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing. |  | | |  |

No cheese tonight. School night.
I was the same with Ozark. Excellent TV but had to park it for a while during lockdown. |
I only hope you like it now you've lashed out on it, and you'll be asking Konk where to get an orange armband. |  | | |

Finished series one of Fauda at weekend
Unimpressed
Think I’ll give two and three a miss
Started Queen of the South on Netflix; two episodes in an this looks like a load of bollox
Quite enjoyed series two of Sunderland till I die though.... hearing they miss out on the play offs all together this year now spells very bad things for them I’d imagine |  |

Really enjoying it, Sheen. It's well made, well acted and engrossing.
Thanks man. | |

I think I must be weird cause I’ve never really got it with Audrey, which I know is sacrilege on here.
I think I actually prefer Laure ( Caroline Proust). Should I see a shrink about it?
Back to the point of the thread has anyone seen Orphan Black? Think it was a massively enjoyable sci-fi series and Tatiana Maslany’s performance as all the clones was amazing. | | | |

Only a couple of episodes in, but I agree with you. | |

Thanks for the reassurance Brian. I actually quite envy you if you’re only a couple of episodes in and you’ve got all the rest of it still to watch. | | | |

Haven’t read the whole thread so don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I watched Parasite last night, subtitled but brilliant. |  |

Stumbled across The Looming Tower on Amazon the night before last. It's about the CIA and FBI's bungling counter-intelligence prior to 9/11. I've only watched two episodes (of ten) and it's excellent. Fast paced, great dialogue, well shot and superbly acted with Jeff Daniels on top of his game, in particular. | |

Bit of a strange one here. I was on my Amazon Prime account this week and I noticed there is a channel called "The Great Courses". They used to advertise on podcasts a few years ago, when they wanted you to sign up for about £100 for an online filmed college lecture series. They seem to have lowered their expectations and have put hundreds of them on Prime for £5.49 a month.
Although they were only filmed about 2014, they already look terrible - imagine Open University lectures from the 1970s remade by a Christian TV channel, with a series of middle-aged gargoyle profs in sports jackets and slacks shuffling across a hotel reception to look at either camera in turn. But the content (based on three I have on the go so far) is fantastic. For example, one of the three (the other two are American History from the Civil War to WW1 and Introductory Electronics!) is on Gnosticism, a mystical form of early Christianity. I'd vaguely heard of it, but knew nothing and probably cared less, but I'm riveted by it, including the idea that the Earth was created by an imperfect lesser God called Ialdabaoth. Who knew?
There are hundreds of courses on there. Have a look. | | | |

I'm really enjoying 'The Roman Empire' having just re-read Tom Holland's 'Dynasty' and 'In The Shadow Of the Sword'.
I started at series 3 and am working back as I didn't realise the first one Netfix gave me was the latest. |
We are veering off topic here a bit by talking about booooooks (copyright Jim Bowen) but Tom Holland is excellent. I read "Persian Fire" a while ago, fascinating stuff.
Richard Miles' TV series "Ancient Worlds" was good and is available on DVD. His book "Carthage must be destroyed" (or "Delenda est Carthage" if you are Boris Johnson) is also a great read. |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

I stand corrected. Oh the shame, for I studied both Latin and Ancient Greek to O Level 
I was forced by the school to do Latin - ouch - but for some bizarre reason, actually *chose* to do Ancient Greek. What was I on?
Mind you, it was in "my salad days, when I was green in judgment". | |

'What we do in the Shadows' had made me laugh out loud more than anything since 'Only Fools and Horses'.
I actually cried laughing today watching at lunch.
Absolutely brilliant. |  |

I just finished the Spy on Netflix which I would highly recommend. Based on a true story and some good acting from Sacha Baron Cohen who coincidentally plays a spy called Cohen. |  | | |

Isn’t he distantly related to the fella?
I seem to think I read somewhere he was and his intrigue led him to research, direct and star in it. That thought may have simply manifested itself in my pea brain after a 12 case of Corona though.
Nevertheless, it’s a bloody brilliant watch | |

Fck me there is just too much TV to watch and not enough hours in the day (not that I'd want to spend all day watching TV...)
Just got Netflix - without trawling through all the pages here what can people recommend? Something that both me and Mrs Chef can agree on (good luck with that one!)
I like the sound of Ozark, think that has had thumbs up from most people on here?
Cheers! |  |

No offence, but without having watched it, i'm quite certain that's a 1 out of 10. Even hearing the word comic makes me ill. |  | | |
