They have it on catch up so presumably its also on NowTV which you can subscribe to short term.

Wasn't until he died and I read a tribute article that I realised Dyatlov is the same guy that was Martin in Friday Night Dinner.

First episode is practically standup comedy compared to episodes 3 and 4. Episode 4 is basically a teenager shooting dogs for a solid hour.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Can you keep a secret last night. Comedy Drama starring Dawn French and Mark Heap about a family who pull off a life insurance scam. Not bad so far

As mentioned by various people on this thread, Steal on Prime was an excellent mini series that me and Mrs TGE binged over a couple of nights.
Only complaint was at the end of episode 1 there was a brief synopsis of what was to come in the rest of the series. Really didnt need that !!

Finished Mayor of Kingstown, was alright.

Watching "The Beauty" which is strange, basically an STD that makes people good looking but with side effects.

Finished Chernobyl enjoyed it and the closing moments of the last episode pretty poignant.

Started the new Game of Thrones series, enjoying it and the main actor pretty funny.

Yeah, I am watching The Beauty, too.

I am liking it a lot. Not at a level of brilliance, but still fascinating and enough to keep me interested.

If you enjoyed Kin, I can highly recommend - Love / Hate. ( lower to mid level young drug dealers in Dublin )

Starts off really ropey and low budget, but just gets better and better with every series, as the various characters come into their own and develop, especially the character " King Nidge ", who just grows and grows into a monsterous psycho with each series.

Much more gritty and less polished than can and much more believable too, with a great Irish cast.

We Bury The Dead.

I`d heard a bit of chatter about this one, some good, some bad, so decided to give it a watch last night.

It`s an Australian film, with the British actress, Daisy Ridley in the lead, who for some reason plays an American, when she would`ve been perfectly fine playing the exact same role, but English !

It`s described as a " zombie survival film ", but I`d describe it as a post disaster film, with zombies thrown in as a sideline.

The Americans accidentally detonate a bomb over the city of Hobart in Tasmania, which wipes out 99.9% of all living things.

Clean up crews consisting of a mix of army and volunteers are sent into remove the dead, except a few of the dead have come back to life.

It starts off really promising and you think you`re in for a good film, with a different take on the zombie genre, as there`s hardly any in the film and the ones that do come along are placid. However after about 30 mins the film just runs out of steam and descends into a whole lot of nothingness.

It just wanders all over the place and almost feels like they writers and producers ran out of any idea what to do next, leading to the film feeling " flat ".

A waste of the acting talents of Daisy Ridley, Mark Coles Smith and Brenton Thwaites.

Have a look at Underbelly - an Aussie gangster series taking on a different era at each stage. Really entertaining watch.

I'll give it a look during the next few nights! I'm well up for gangster series/films. Currently getting to grips with Ozark on Prime. Only 4 episodes in series 1 but highly entertaining so far.

Stick with Ozarks, it gets better and darker with each series and the character development with each series is sublime.

I was gutted when it finished.

It's excellent and just jogged my memory to mention "Black Rabbit" with Jason Bateman & Jude Law starring... it's a very good series.

I enjoyed Black Rabbit, but I thought Jason Bateman was badly miscast. He`s just not right to play the baddie.

Jude Law was very good though.

We gave up on Ozark. I think we watched it off the back of watching Better Call Saul…it all felt a bit too fast paced and crazy. Every episode something v exciting happened! Which, now I’m typing this, makes me think I should give it another go.

Yeah, possibly the slower burn series we watched before it made it feel a bit daft.

Really enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I love that it's smaller in scale and stakes than the other two ASOIAF series, the lead (both character and actor) are wonderful and I'm enjoying that each episode is 30 minutes.

Same. Really refreshing having a more grounded and light hearted series, rather than the usual massive CGI battles with dragons, etc we've come to expect.
They've already confirmed further seasons as well.

I don't know if there's a specific name for this trope, but I'm an absolute sucker for a story in which the main character is just a fundamentally decent, honourable person and they fall upwards in a chaotic, treacherous environment due to the allies they make just by being a nice and endearing personality. The latest episode actually got me pretty emotional!

Lasted about 15 minutes of Lord of the Flies last night. Not really sure what they were trying to achieve with this adaption.
