znfdl mentioned Fauda a while ago and I meant to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Fauda>Very good performances and tight action.

Planet Earth II

Is that a movie or tv series?

[colker]

Trying to watch Dark but...

[rwsaunders]

God Save The Queen...it looks like I'll be watching season 2 of The Crown with my wife.

[Too Tall]

Did we mention Shameless? You can't look away. Trainwreck from start to finish.

[Powerfibers]

Shameless is shamelessly good. We are enjoying Orphan Black lately. Getting better in season 3 after a slow start.

Jean Claude Van Johnson is absolutely great. Fun, action and nothing you would expect.

Is that a movie or tv series?

BBC TV series. Presented by Sir David Attenborough. I remember being bowled over by Planet Earth back in 2006. This is just as impressive. The technology they've employed for PEII is amazing. Remote cameras, drones, etc... like you're 6" away from a snow leopard.

This scene had me well above LT heart rate:

Loved the series and am sad it had to come to an end. Tatiana Maslany is an amazing talent.

Being a relatively low budget Canadian production, you will notice a couple of continuity challenges owing to actors getting drawn away to higher budget films and television shows. The writers did as good a job under the circumstances.

I really miss the clones!

The latest season of Peaky Blinders is out!! Black Mirror comes out this weekend!

[Matthew Strongin]

Black Mirror comes out this weekend!

That's awesome, but I'd love it if it came out today so I had something to do this afternoon!

The Toys That Made Us on Netflix is pretty cool too, we've watched one episode so far.

No kidding. That on the big TV. Horrifying.

Peaky Blinders - Yes!

Tried two episodes of Godless, but it felt like an audition for a bluegrass/country soundtrack. What is the hook already? Just cliché music and cliché faceless characters.

Dear lord, give me the patience to some day maintain interest in shows that are slower than a slow desert dehydration death culminating at high noon. Guess I'm just hoi polloi.

And so much beyond the ability to suspend disbelief.

Wife was out of town this weekend, so I finished American Vandal. We watched the first episode together, she didn't really like it, but I LOVED IT! It's so funny, not in punchline-ha-ha kind of funny, but situational/conversational funny. And the acting is *really* good actually. You almost forget it's not a real documentary. 5 stars, highly recommend.

My wife likes it a LOT more than I thought she would. Last night she said "Let's watch another one."

Black Mirror S4 - 3 episodes in. No reason to rush this one. Loving it so far.

+1 On Trapped. Just getting into Bordertown (Finnish with English subtitles) and liking it. Feels a lot like The Bridge (Swedish w English subtitles) which we really liked. All on Netflix
