Only started watching Money Heist lately. Great show. You quickly forget you are even reading subtitles.
Tried the dubbed version first and couldn't get into it at all.
Still on Season 1 but loving it so far...
the dubbing is really annoying me and I've just finished Season 1. Denver's laugh... horrendous.
Watch it in Spanish with subtitles. Didnt think I'd like it that way but honestly you forget you are even reading them after a while.
Survived Narcos Mexico like this, must make the switch. Cheers

Anyone been on the Homeland journey?
Last one on next week. Its been an emotional rollercoaster hi

Yeah. It's a pretty good series. Back to basics and it's what they do best.

Yet to watch the ending, heard great things. Homeland has been an exceptional series even arguably growing in stature after the original Brody storyline expired.

Yeah consistently good over the years ill miss it. Carrie - little bit sexy little bit crazy, the best types 😃😉

I'll miss Homeland too. This series has been consistently excellent and they have worked the whole premise of the programme nto a blinding finale...

Watched series 6 of Bosch over the last week enjoyable too..

DEVs available on iplayer is a pretty decent looking  Sci-fi, 3 episodes in. American.

Man in the High Castle - Very enjoyable if you can get past the crazy stuff wasn't sure they needed it but offered an extra layer to the story I guess.

After Life 2 - Very similar to the first season but not as good I thought way too morbid after the first season they had a chance to move it on and didn't.

Run - Enjoyed the first episode think it has potential

Avenue 5 - Not sure very dark and I normally like Ianucci's stuff but this wasn't really for me.

Looking at Despatches from elsewhere next has anyone seen it??

Also if you can check out the Beastie Boys live documentary on AppleTV I really liked it.

I finished this off today, really caught my imagination, Sci-fi but not in a spacey way. A bit hi brow for a lot of tastes I'd imagine but really interesting & entertaining. Written and directed by Alex Garland.

I've watched 8 (of 12 x 30m) of Normal People, the much hyped Irish show on iplayer, enterteraining show if you want to revisit your teenage angst and romantic troubles - too many sex scenes, nearly undoes the actual story imo.

is Avenue 5  really Dark? . I saw the  1st episode and thought it was very light and every one in on the Joke.
Loved tnthe thick of it and Veep . Avenue 5  did seem in the same class.

Seen the first two episodes.

Hmm I'm not sure about it. Will give it a couple more, but it looks like one of those long dragged out series where little to nothing happens (a bit like that 'Castle Rock' series. Jesus that was a bore!)

Anyone watched devs?

I've heard rave reviews and am on the last episode now but not so sure.

Jeepers Creepers

#5830
El Chapo any use having just come off Narcos?

I started it but couldn't get past the dubbing


Fauda next on the list for me

If you don't like it after 2 I don't think you'll grow to like it - as I thought it started of strongly and has faltered a bit since! Still good enough.

Fauda is quite good. Obviously written from an Israeli perspective but not as much of a propaganda vehicle as you might think.

Yeah you may as well it's not a huge time investment with half hour episodes.
