Gemmill 44900 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Right. I know we have threads on this sort of stuff but this is specifically for the period we're about to all spend in the house. So Netflix, Amazon Prime, normal telly, catch-up. Also any books or series of books that people might enjoy. I was checking how hashtags worked in the other thread in the hope that people could tag posts for #ronabooks or TV or whatever so that they could be easily accessed, but that's not how it works. So! Do your worst. I'll start with Dirty Money on Netflix. Wholly depressing. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30620 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Aye, the one with Jared Kushner was an eye opener. He always seemed like a stand up guy. The new season of Curb is pretty decent and when you’ve finished that you can just go back and watch all the past series from the beginning. Once you’re through that then this will have all blown over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44900 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Haven't watched it but just spotted the trailer for The English Game on Netflix. Something to do with the origins of professional football in England - drama series by Julian Fellowes. Think Downton Abbey meets Jossy's Giants.

Gemmill 44900 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'm enjoying Castle Rock. Its set in the Stephen King universe - not his stories but locales and characters that you'll recognise from the books. I'm a couple of episodes in to Season 2 and it seems like it's gonna be an Annie Wilkes origin story (the mad bint from Misery). First episode also included Ace Merrill who was Kiefer Sutherland's bully character from Stand By Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33245 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Actually after watching a bit of the very first episode of curb your enthusiasm ages ago I'd give it another go but it's only on Sky/ now. I've got now TV just for the sports paid up front till June, instead of asking for a refund I was prepared to swap it for the entertainment or whatever but there's more chance of SETI getting any evidence of intelligence from space than getting any sign of life from now. Shockingly bad service. Nobody to actually speak to it's virtually all done online. (This is me to now TV.......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21627 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yeah, it's fun cancelling it and the software pleads with you to say and keeps saying "Are you sure?" whilst lowering the price. I'm going to get for a month just for Curb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Tiger King on Netflix. True crime documentary about this bloke: It follows him and others in the American private zoo business, they’re all absolutely fucking mental and a bunch of total cunts. We watched the Jinx before watching this which I also highly fookin recommend but I know plenty on here have seen that.

trophyshy 7083 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Can there be a subsection of shit you can tolerate with your lass. War of the worlds (remake 93) on sky/now isn’t total dogshit, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
