Just started watching 'The man in the high castle' on Amazon. A bit of a slow start, but it's picking up. I quite like the background plot, and is curious to see how it unfolds.

If anyone don't know what it's about, it's set post WWii in the USA, but the Germans and Japanese won the war, and USA is divided into the Japanese pacific state in the west, and part of the German Reich in the east, with a neutral 'wasteland' in the middle. Quite facinating

Sounds a bit like GB SS, which was very good.

This punisher is not a superhero show in any way, worth a look even if you are bored of the genre.

Only was mildly entertained by Deadfile! no Deadpool that's it.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Deadpool was a pretty good tinkle take of the entire genre, its pretty much its own thing.

The Marvel movies are fun action flicks, basically. The Netflix Marvel stuff is aimed at adults, again a totally different thing.

And the Punisher is a psychopath, not even a superhero - again very different from the others.

Essentially, you can pretty well find something for anyone within the genre. If they are interested, of course.

Finished peaky blinders. Saved up the last 3 episodes and can’t fault anything about the 3rd series. Great watch.

 

[spitshine]

Narcos all finished and like others have mentioned it didn’t regress even though Escobar was no longer part of it.

Need ideas for things to watch.

Never read comics and that I think is the missing interest link. Enjoyed Heroes and like 'some' Si-fi but comic stuff is a little to camp for me.

Never watched the tunnel, but the original it was based on, the bridge, was fantastic.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

If you liked The Bridge you might enjoy Spiral, on BBC iplayer I think.

French detective drama, Ive not seen it but its been highly recommended.

Love spiral, not watch the latest series yet, will wait and get a couple together on catch up.
Missed the other French series "witness", with Audrey fleurot (sp) from spiral. Anyone catch it, any good?
