I’m home alone for a few days and was nosing through Netflix last night and saw The Umbrella Academy.

Doesn’t look like my usual thing but has anyone seen it and would you recommend it?
Weird, but I enjoyed it

Unbelievable on Netflix. Think it's an older series, but has been in the top trending this week.
Really good. Can be hard watching at times

Better call Saul doesn't get the same respect as breaking bad but to me it's every bit as good , it will be a shame when the final episode is aired but I'm looking forward to it all the same

I do still prefer Breaking Bad, but it's a very close call. The characters are richer and fleshed out more on Better Call Saul.

It's in the planner but not watched it yet! Missus is out tonight so will watch it then.

Can't remember if I have already put this on here but went to see the Elvis film at the Showcase last week and is is quality! Well worth a watch!!

Running out of stuff to watch, so I googled new drama's, and found 'Hotel Portofino' the other day..
Think its based on the 20's era and if I'm perfectly honest, it's a load of old tosh, but there are some ladies in it that kept a slight interest. ;)
The one positive thing I took from it was I now have a new destination to add to my bucket list..


Now watching the IPCRESS FILE...

As the Cold War rages, ex-smuggler turned reluctant spy Harry Palmer finds himself at the centre of a dangerous undercover mission, on which he must use his links to find a missing British nuclear scientist.

IPCRESS FILE

A couple of episodes in and its not too bad..(y)

Watched the first one last night and it was alright! Think I prefer listening to it whilst washing up/walking rather than watching on the TV but I'll give it another couple of episodes.

One thing I will say is that Stef's voice really doesn't fit with what he looks like!!! I feel like I'm watching someone who has been dubbed.

I prefer BCS, I think a part of that is because Breaking Bad had already finished when I started it so got through it quickly whereas with this I'm at show pace and everything has time to breathe. If they end it well in the next few eps it's up there with the all-time best TV for me

Anyone else looking forwards to this? Out today on Netflix.
Love the original comics / graphic novels. The trailer looked great and the reviews are outstanding. Its always been referred to as unfilmable but this looks like its had serious money thrown at it and has the original writer, Gaiman, as producer and his track record is pretty good with TV and movies.

Ooh! Graphic novel. I might have a look at that instead.

Sounds interesting from the blurb, worth a watch?
I quite enjoyed it. Some of it suspends disbelief a little too much and you can tell it's from the makers of Lost. A lot of similarities.

Wouldn't say it was fabulous, but it's quite good.

The film is superb.
First 2 series on TV were great, especially the first, lost its way after that.

Another fantastic episode of Better Call Saul, can't believe there's just the one left and that's it. So good
Yes.

I wonder if next week's will be an extended episode. I think it will have to be won't it? Usually final episodes of shows are longer.
