Watched the first episode of When They See Us on Netflix last night and was very impressed. It’s the true story of the black kids wrongly accused of the rape and battery of a woman in Central Park in 1989, shocking and brutal stuff.
Good decision to start watching Better Call Saul. It just gets better and better.
Formula 1 - Drive To Survive Season 2 just out
Better Call Saul Season 5 just out
Also recently watched the two seasons of Jack Ryan on Prime which I quite enjoyed although these aren’t new.

Season 2 of Altered Carbon has just appeared on Netflix...
So clever my foot fell off.
Really enjoyed, The Split a must for any of us who have suffered divorce. Its a sort of masochistic voyeurism, that's compels you to watch bad human behaviour even if you have suffered it. Great acting from Nichola Walker.
I Am Not Ok With This.. watched it all yesterday and enjoyed it but it only really properly got going at the end. There are 7 episodes of just over 20 minutes each but needs much more
Hunters on Amazon Prime, Al Pacino leads a group of Nazi hunters in the 70's, with a Pulp Fiction/Tarantino vibe.
I got bored with F1 many years ago, but this has been great. Love getting the action, the background elements, and finally drivers swearing over the radio...should be like that all the time!
Only watched the first episode of S2 yesterday but is just as good as S1. The only negative is knowing how the story ends!

Watched season 1 in one sitting and promised myself I’d be a bit more patient with season 2. Watched the Mercedes episode on friday night and the other 9 the next day. Great show perfectly put into perspective by Kimi’s quote at the end of the last episode (I won’t spoil it).
They change the actor as the body has changed (the sleeve), which is the same as in the books, he wears different sleeves at different points. I imagine if there is a season 3 there will be a new actor for that. I like that they kept that part the same, there are many other unfortunate changes though, still a decent watch IMO.

Thank you for posting that, it was a tough read and adds another level to the intensely emotive story that is The Virtues. Little wonder the min-series was so powerfully portrayed, I found the flashback scenes superbly done and especially chilling. We watched 'This is England' years ago but I need to go back and find Shanes earlier movies.
Cheers
The Outsider on Sky Atlantic is very good
Just finished Hunters on Prime, with Al Pacino about Nazi hunters in 70’s New York. Has a Coen Brothers / Tarantino vibe to it.
Started watching The Expanse, stopped after S1 but saw it on Prime so it’s keeping me entertained, on S3 at the mo.
A bit late but “This country” on bbc iPlayer. Puerile but a very interesting social commentary. Naaaa it’s just funny.
Westworld season 3 is out. If you watch episode 1, don't bugger off to put the kettle on when the end credits start - there's a final scene afterwards.
Nothing like new, but The Thick Of It is on Netflix.
I'm enjoying Locke and Key on netflix
Also not exactly new, but I've been watching some Laurel and Hardy on Amazon Prime. Should this be in the movies thread? I don't know. Anyway, turns out it really does hold up after all these years. Some genuinely timeless, very funny sketches, although a minority haven't aged quite as well.
Will have to check out Laurel and Hardy. Loved watching them about 30 years ago.
Could do with some humour and nostalgia at the moment!!

My Godson of 6, who has Downs Syndrome, loves Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, & Mr Bean. He doesn't communicate very much and seems to revel in the (almost) silent and very visual comedy of all of these.
I've also introduced him to Old Tom & Jerry cartoons, which he seems to love also.I just hope he doesn't try to re-enact any of the violence on his two Brothers ;)

Thanks to a heads up on here about Hunters I started watching it.
Up to episode 4, I am enjoying it so far, especially the mad bits.
Cheers,
Neil.
Just finished "Hunters" on Amazon.
Very good, some great twists, and Pacino is still phenomenal.
So clever my foot fell off.
Picard I thought to be average and to be fair still don't get the hype.
Treadstone is very good as is the latest (and last?) homeland.
Enjoyed Grand prix driver on prime but I like F 1 anyway.
Laughed a fair bit at the cartoon paradise PD
Watched the first show of Avenue 5 with Hugh Laurie as well and that may shape up to something reasonable.

I've read some great reviews of Natasha Lyonne's Russian Doll, which just premiered its second season on Netflix. I was about to dive into Season 1 but thought I'd see if any of you have seen it and have an opinion before I invest the time.
