Murdoch 511 Report post Posted January 12 We're all self isolating because the misses has been tested positive for Covid. I'm pretty much up to date with invoices/ estimates etc so I was wondering if anybody has got any recommendations of tv or films to watch. We have free TV plus amazon prime and Netflix Thanks 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff1946 140 Report post Posted January 12 It's very much a matter of taste so hard to advise someone else on specifics. We joined Britbox just before Christmas, I think on a free trial, (Mrs organised it). I don't know if the FT is still on but it's not too expensive anyway, and open up lots of old series. For instance we are presently watching early episodes of Shetland which we didn't watch when current. We will keep it on at least whilst the house arrest runs. I'm also really impressed with an Amazon Firestick we bought. We already have a smart TV, albeit a few years old now, but the Firestick is far easier to use. There is also some surprisingly good material on Utube. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boltonsparky 63 Report post Posted January 13 We did a free trial of appletv and watched The Long Way up that they did on electric bikes, A good watch with a bit of added couch coding some of the dodgy installs on route. Watched Greyhound, with Tom Hanks on there too which I thought was good. We have nowTV, as mentioned above thought Chernobyl was a very good watch, Cobra on there too which wasn't amazing but worth the watch I thought. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fly Moose 1 Report post Posted January 13 I have watched so far Amazon Prime - Vikings : really good quite close to some history. Plenty of action. Expanse : Scfi future thing this was good - maybe like Blade runner in style perhaps then goes on a tangent to its own. These two are good. Besides Lord of the rings and Game of thrones. Coff Coff...Only for the action. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last Kingdon is also a good watch, and I have been following some of the Chinese epics, just for something a little different. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney 81 Report post Posted January 16 (edited) The Expanse (second time of binging on this) Vikings The Last Kingdom Breaking Bad The Ozarks The Punisher (fine for a bit of mindless violence with no real story) Edited January 16 by Sidney 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidewinder 2,215 Report post Posted January 16 The Imitation Game, about Turing. Lucifer on Netflix, damn good. Dirk Gently Sherlock The John Wick films The equaliser films with Denzil Washington Life on Mars, much better than Ashes to Ashes IMHO, though I did watch both. Star Trek Enterprise and Discovery Netflix series. Then Star Trek TNG, DS9 & Voyager... Should keep you busy for a while... Can you tell that I didn’t have much work during the last year because of Covid & my cancer!!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found Cry Trek Diversity had so much potential but was ruined by very poor writing with too much effort put into trying to represent minority groups. The story line for season 3 didn't even make any sense not helped by people bursting into tears every five minutes, with space Jesus being responsible for every single solution it left no room for any other characters to develop. I think we'd be pushed to see another season. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think too much into it mate, I just look at it as 45 minutes to an hour or so of escapism when I don't have to think about anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fly Moose 1 Report post Posted January 17 True that. It gets you down when shows start to confirm to present ideals and the reality from the show disappears for ever. Making it a lost cause and silly to watch. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
