Off Topic NETFLIX and Box Set series Thread.

Really enjoy HBO's Succession, series 3 due for release later this month.

 

Curb your enthusiasm series 11 on sky later this month

 

Midnight Mass on Netflix is excellent

 

The Squid Games on Netflix is getting a lot of attention at the minute. I finished it last night. Imagine a much more violent version of the Challenge TV Show: Takeshi’s Castle.

Oddly enough watched the first 4 or 5 episodes tonight, will watch the rest tomorrow.

 

Midnight Mass didn't resonate with me at all - Bible quotes, fires, guns, zealots, an angel (was it Lucifer?). Might appeal to an American audience where God & Guns are still mainstream, but to any European audience, imo, it was a naive yawn fest. The Squid Game, on the other hand, is so much more in tune with the human condition, the mind, the unsavoury decisions we make under stress, the fight for survival are things that we can all empathize with.

 

Getting ready to film in Hull for Netflix.

 

Squid Game...oddly can't stop watching as this ain't really my thing (gore etc), onto episode 4.

 

We watched The Guilty on Netflix last night, worth a watch with an unexpected twist to it.

 

I can't read that without thinking of Françoise Pascal.

 

At least we now know what Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Jeff Bozos get up to in their free time

 

Mmmm Francoise Pascal

 

Some people giving their ages away. She hasn't aged well.

 

I was thinking more when she was in her prime Barch. Beautiful sexy lady.

 

Indeed she was.

 

Just watching a series on Netflix called Bad Sport. Six episodes cover a range of sports covered in controversy, each episode dedicate to one sport.
Good so far.

 

Just watched "The Last Mountain" last night on Beeb iPlayer (BBC2 originally). Unbelievable story and footage of mountaineer Tom Ballard and his mountaineering mother Alison Hargreaves, who both perished on seperate expeditions to the Himalayas. Makes you wonder what causes adventurers to take up such dangerous passtimes/careers.
Outstanding documentary. It'll be on iPlayer for the next year. Some unbelievable camera shots.

Which sports are covered? Might give this a watch.

 

First up is college basketball (well worth a look)second Indy 500 including drugs, then football Juventus featured here. That's where I'm up to but all worth a watch.
