Best shows on Prime/Netflix?

Watched "Zero Day" which I thought was pretty good.

Smashed the first part of "A Thousand Blows "... Really enjoying it so far.

Both D+

2 episodes into zero day, pretty good so far. Will start thousand blows after that. Will watch anything with Stephen Graham in
 
Started watching "Resident Alien" on netflix... Quirky and darkly funny :)
 
Zero Day I found to be ok at best.
Didn’t realise I was missing out on a new Stephen Graham show - that’s todays viewing sorted!

Just finished Adolescence, brilliant.

Although it's a limited series, the re's already talk of season 2. I would imagine similar theme, but different story/cast.

I hope there is a follow-up and that it is as well written, produced and acted as this series. Episode 3, the 'chat' between the shrink and Jamie, I literally caught myself holding my breath a few times.

I thought it was very good too, especially considering each episode was done in one shot takes! The acting was superb all-round. It's unusual for the reveal to be mid mid-way I thought it was building towards something completely different, but I never felt dissappointed. If anything it left me thinking well beyond the credits ... this could be me, my family etc

I hope they do another season in the same style, if even a completely different story

Playing Nice had this sort of impact. Worth a watch if you haven't already.

The Bondsman on Prime. Really good and 8 half hour episodes make it easily bingeable.

Really hoping for a 2nd season.

I agree. Good fun watch, and a little different.

Nice, I've been needing something new to watch.
 
Something totally different. I just finished Mr Mayfair... Bit marmite, but I liked it. Some great music too ;)

First episode done, yep I think I'm going to like this. Wasn't keen on the casting at the end, initial impression was she didn't suit that role but happy to see what develops.

Light and magic season-ish 2 on D+ All about ILM. Amazing stuff :cool:
 
I am currently watching Reacher 3 which is great after the awful movies with Tom Cruise. The books describe JR as 6ft 5in and 250 lbs and the new JR Alan Richardson closely matches this which all makes sense when he has to confront 5 professional thugs who eventually run away. This just does not work with Tom Cruise who is 5ft 7in and I think TC knew this.

You can have a family group for Amazon Prime which was set up by my son who pays as well so free to me. He believes it is worth it for his deliveries alone but we also make large savings.

About to start season 2 of Andor. Been waiting ages for this.
 
I skimmed through the last episode of Season 1 just for a quick recap, but I found the transition from the end scene to the opening scene in Season 2 rather unexplained?

But it's a year later ;)
 
Stopped watching Andor a while ago, I think episode 4 was the last one I watched. Struggled to enjoy it as much as the first season, but maybe I should go back to it.

Just finished watching epic Game of Thrones again and now tried House of the Dragon, but it was immediately disappointing and I've read that season 2 goes downhill, so I don't want to invest any time in it.

So, we moved onto Silo, first episode done and it's very good so far. Not a particularly original storyline so far, but it's suspenseful and I'm looking forward to see where it goes.

Definitely go back to it. So much going on... I revisited Rogue One, after finishing season 2, which was a nice build up.
 
Department Q, new police series on Netflix.

It’s a bit of a hackneyed concept (psychologically damaged detective comes back to work after an “incident” and gets handed a new job as head of a cold case department, together with a bunch of other misfits) but it’s very well done. Quite brutal and very sweary, if that bothers you, but I think it’s excellent.

I've been trying again but still struggling. It's just become a little boring for me, but I'll finish it. Distracted with Silo, it's brilliant.

Hey ho, mate. It's never really been an actioner though.
Don't have apple TV, but heard good things about it.
I'm looking forward to Fallout season 2. But that's a way off. The Alien thing on D+ could be interesting.

I think it's called "Alien Earth". Not too sure on the timeline though. Coming this in June I think.

Looks like it may have a Romulus feel to it. It'll be on my watchlist that's for sure. Cheers.

Loved the first one, and enjoyed this too. Some very funny bits.

Well, I finished it off and the last 3-4 episodes definitely picked up the pace and were much more my think. I went straight onto Rogue One afterwards! lol
