Highly recommend “Boy Swallows Universe’ - Netflix   Quirky, dark and uniquely Australian.  The 80’s soundtrack was worth it alone.  Brought back some great musical memories.  Will be watching this one again👍

 

 

 

Boy Swallows Universe is really good. The first time I only watched the first episode but gave up after 10 minutes. I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

I watched Dune 2 again. This time on IMAX. The theatre was packed. And i am sure they are mostly second or third viewings. 
 

speaking of which, this is funny.

Just finished Fall out, and really enjoyed it. Great characters, and they kept did a good job with keeping the dark humor from the games in the series. 


Thanks. Will start this weekend.

I recently re-watched House of Dragons S1, before S2 is released in June. 
 

I highly recommend people to re-watch. It has great re-watch qualities and a lot nuances that needs reminding before S2 kicks off.
 

Cannot wait for the Greens and Otto Hightowers to fall. They are nothing but usurpers.

Gilded age is pretty good. We did a trip Westchester county last weekend and had a tour at Lyndhurst castle (highly recommend ) and they mentioned that part of the show was filmed there. We did recognize some rooms from Lyndhurst in S1 E5.

 

 

Oh wow - my brother got married there ages ago 😄 Good ole Tarrytown - hopefully Westchester treated your family well!

On the weekend, I watched Dumas' Three Musketeers...two parts:

 

D'Artagnan

 

 

Milady

 

 

Terrific actors, great story, writing and action.  Very well done and thoroughly enjoyed them!  Cheers!

Season 5 of Fargo is great.  It's reimagining of the original Fargo Movie, where the characters have different personalities.  Sort of like the alternate universes in The Man in the High Castle.

 

Fargo Seasons 1 and 2 were great.  Season 3 was passable, and Season 4 was so bad that I couldn't finish it, but they are back on track with the new one.

I think HOD was far better than GOT. I too am looking forward to Season 2.

“Spies of Warsaw” on Prime is an okay show. Covers the few years leading right up to Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the invasion of Poland. 
 

Sadly much like BBC tv shows, all nationalities speak English for our sake. Except Germans who speak Germans.

@Spekulatius

i know you are a big LOTR fan

HBO has been exemplary in their content pipeline. See below for Dune
 

Who the hell needs garbage content from Netflix when you have premium content being created by HBO and Walt Disney.

Whiplash, for the first time.  While watching the kids have both commented how good it is.  Damn, I must have been asleep in 2014/2015 or whenever it started streaming on Netflix. It easily goes into my top 20 movies of all time. Jazz is life.

Yeah, I thought it was an amazing movie!  Also saw it a couple of years after it came out.  Surprised I didn't watch it earlier!  Cheers!

Shetland Season 8 is outstanding, incredible police show. 
 

Not that previous seasons are any less outstanding. 
 

Amazing plots every season. 

 

Shetland is great. I have only seen the first 6 seasons. So it has held up without Douglas Henshall?

Of the new streaming series, I agree Sugar on Apple TV has been good (Apple continues to deliver high quality content). I also think that Fallout on Amazon Prime was fantastic.

 

The film noir series “Ripley” on Netflix is pretty well made (only watched 3 episodes so far).

Actually the last season with Douglas was so-so, but season 8 is great. Superb plot
