‘This Town’ started on BBC1 last night and all episodes on the iplayer. Absorbing drama with some fantastic acting.

Watched the first 3 last night, brilliant, more drama than music at the moment but the characters are great and it really takes you back to 1981.

The 2 young leads are from nowhere too and are great.
 
The Woman in Gold - film on BBC Tonight . Available on iPlayer. Helen Mirren, Viennese 2nd World War Jewish history, Klimt paintings. Really enjoying it 👍👍.
 
After watching Griselda and Banshee (both superb) we are finally giving Queen of the South a go and loving it!
Some fabulous series about.

Just on it now and it’s excellent, although there’s 5 seasons they are short ones, just finished series one and there was only four episodes.
 
I just finished the full set of Shameless US.. best thing I've watched in a long time. Currently watching "the Unforgotten" - a bit like Cold Case and very addictive.
 
Here's one we discovered today. Alma's not Normal, it's on BBC iPlayer. We have been watching the latest Taskmaster and there is a woman called Sophie Willan, a Bolton lass on there and we didn't know her. She is the star and writer of Amla and it based on her life story. It is brilliantly written, acted and funny and poignant in equal measure which is always the secret of a really good Northern comedy.

Lala...... check it out you will love it.

Will check it out today 👍
 
If anyone has Disney+, I recommend checking out next goal wins, it's about American Samoa's win over Tonga in 2011, bit like Cool Runnings.

You're welcome mate.
If you haven't already, try Boardwalk Empire - American gangster series set in the 1920's 👍
 
I struggle to find stuff so end up watching quite a lot of Korean shows on Netflix, the latest I found was A Killer Paradox, I'm enjoying it, if nothing else by watching it you'll start to get suggestions of other Korean shows.

The Chinese original is on Amazon Prime, 20 odd episodes. For some reason some are only available to buy.

I'm 3 episodes in, on the original Chinese animation of 3 body problem which is on a dodgy firestick site
The animation is amazing, the only problem is everything is in Chinese and I'm struggling with trying to see the English sub titles over the mandarin subtitles....so far it's very different from the live action, but very good.

If you like Korean stuff
Try Parasyte: The Grey, which is on Netflix, worth watching just to see the infected people's head split open to reveal the parasites eye's
Kingdom and All of us are dead are also worth watching if you're into Korean zombie's

The Chinese version on Amazon is Three-Body, it isn't animated, but it's still subtitled so maybe no better for you

Three-Body
 
Talking of Asian shows, we just finished Alice in Borderland (Japan based). Ive seen it before, but the Mrs hadnt, so we binged it in about 3 days. Very squid games esq, with a completely different story line. If you liked the gore and the games of Squid Games, deffo worth a watch. They have just announced a third season too coming out this year.

Agreed about Alice in Borderland, think it was discussed on here way back.

I got a notification recently about "the 8 Show", due out soon on Netflix, sounds a bit Squid Games-ish

The 8 Show should be enough for Squid Game fans to whet their appetite. The parallels between the shows are highly similar, but notably, The 8 Show lacks the same color palette and brightness as Squid Game. This may have been intentional and comes across as extremely nihilistic. Either way, we’re hyped to watch this!

"8 people in need of money are invited to appear on reality variety show Money Game. The 8 people are to stay at the studio that consists of nothing but concrete walls. If they are able to hang in there for 100 days, they can divide the winning prize of 44.8 billion won equally. But, everything they spend for, including necessities like food, water, and electricity, costs 1,000 times more than normal prices and is deducted from the winning prize.”
