MikeBiDude Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I just started watching Line of Duty streaming on Prime. I’m into season 3 and and really liking it. British police show centered around their Anti Corruption unit. I’m bumping my own thread here, and once again I’ll mention “line of duty“. I got totally addicted to the show immediately, four seasons available on Amazon prime, I bought season 5 for I think $19 to finish binge watching all available episodes. Great British police drama, sub plots that roll over season to season. Multiple thumbs up ???? cany10011, + E.T.Bass, liubit and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ FreshFluff Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm now watching Waco, about the siege on the David Koresh compound. It's an interesting watch but they don't shy away from the gory stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ tassojunior Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Season 5's last episode of Better Call Saul is intense but ends mid-scene. Season 6, the last season, is already mostly filmed for 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cany10011 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Binge watching Season 3 of the series “House of Flowers”. Fun, telenovela style drama and hot cast. thomas and CuriousByNature 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchm Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Binged all the way through Ozark, S1, S2, and S3. Wendy is amazingly clever, but my money is on Marty. Just finished S3. All the good buzz is well deserved. Ben tore my heart apart. He and Laura Linney deserve Emmys. It reminded me of a brother-sister movie Linney made with a very young Mark Ruffalo "You Can Count On Me." Seek it out. It's worth your time.

Sorry to report, none of the famed nudity usually seen in European movies and TV. There is a gay romance storyline involving a couple of the characters, though. P. S. Also available through Amazon streaming video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shirtless in a pair of swim trunks for most of the second episode he was in, but that's about it. He had a nice trail, I couldn't find any pictures of him showing that.

+ poolboy48220 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm close to finishing season two of Ozark, and I am getting a kick out of the different little icons they show in the opening credits and trying to spot when they refer to them in the show. The DNA one threw me, I thought it was a spiral staircase. + E.T.Bass and MikeBiDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ poolboy48220 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I think I just put Rise of Empires on my list, based on a co-worker's recommendation. It was SOMETHING with "Empire" in its title :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BgMstr4u Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) So far during the present lock-down, in no particular order, I've binged on: The Politician (pretty good) The Windsors (meh) The Assassination of Gianni Versace (absorbing) After Life (I have a hard time keeping focused on it - on the series, not the topic!) Hollywood (great! until the end, which wasn't so great) Designated Survivor (great in the beginning, lost its mojo eventually) Episodes (for the second time, I think) Babylon Berlin (fantastic) The Valhalla Murders (loved it, but I once studied [Old] Icelandic) I've just started White Lines. (not sure what I think yet, but at this point it doesn't make me want to go to Ibiza.) *** UPDATE: I'm in episode 4 and I realize I don't care about the selfish bastard brother who was killed or his totally f*ckwit sister, who wants to solve his murder and seems to ruin every other life she intersects with, self-centered (runs in the family) idiot that she is. But I've got this far. I'll probably continue through the series. Thank god there's only one season.*** I keep dipping into Rise of Empires - the Ottomans. I like its insight into the character of Mehmet. Practically nothing on Constantine. Very much from the Turkish perspective. Plus a bunch of movies. The Coen Brothers are growing on me, as are Paul Thomas Anderson and Ryan Murphy. Edited May 18, 2020 by BgMstr4u SirBillybob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Just finished the last season of Ozark. WOW. I'm growing to find it a bit improbable, in that Marty & Wendy would have been arrested or killed long ago, but I'm still enjoying it. ANOTHER series that I'm going to have to wait a year or more to find out what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBillybob Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I am gearing up for Valhalla Murders (Netflix), something broodily Nordic to contrast with satirical comedy The Great. The Great is on Hulu, not easily accessed in Canada, but I discovered it is on Apple TV where I have the initial year free. Near the end of latest Stranger Things. An inevitable gay self-outing between nosebleeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaffingBear Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Binge watched Upload in three days... Amazon Prime. Recommended! Started Hunters on Amazon Prime 4 days ago. Two episodes remain. I am enjoying, but with reservations. It's often uneven, feels amateurish. I cringe a bit at the comic book or graphic novel styling used on a topic like Nazis, the Holocaust, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BgMstr4u Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Well, in case anyone's interested, I watched all 10 episodes of White Lines. Not sorry I did, if only to satisfy curiosity. All I can say is, It's enough to put you off clubbing, loud music, drugs, beaches, rich people, ambitious, sexy and dangerous blond djs, Romanians in little boats and their relatives in big truck living rooms, scuba diving, little red sports cars, drug-based new age spirituality, pet funerals, fucked up English families, fucked up Spanish families, brother/sister obsessions, mother/son obsessions, four-sided friendships, birthday parties, Ibiza and women, especially naive/narcissistic women without a clue what they are doing to everyone around them, for life.

BgMstr4u Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Not to be a plot spoiler, but it’s a large truck with flexible walls fitted out as a living room. Quite sinister, actually, in a sort of over-the-top gangster kind of way. A little like the sort of place your mad aunt might have, but on the bed of a truck. Complete with unsatisfactory relatives.

I’m surprised you saw it all @BgMstr4u I’ve only watched Episode 1 so far, and the show seems rather trashy. It did bring back memories of visiting the White Island in 2001-2003. I never went clubbing much but I recall fondly the night I went to a very big club by the end of the airport runway and danced with a near-naked muscleboy who was wearing just a speedo.

BgMstr4u Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Wow! Toward the end of the series the protagonist plans a very big club by the end of the airport runway. I wonder if it actually existed. Trashy for sure. I like trash in entertainment, not so much in life. I went back and read my list again ... they really packed a lot in. It has a certain fascination, both the psychological dysfunction of the main characters and the sociological situation. The “best” character is a lovable, honest, integrity-filled bouncer/enforcer/thug who’s really good at hurting people. Your go-to guy for a clinically clean, untraceable murder. You just have to love him. Perhaps there’s a message there but I’m not sure what it is. Edited May 21, 2020 by BgMstr4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the place I met the muscleboy. He was dancing on a podium in this huge space (an old aircraft hangar, I think). The club was named DC or DC10 IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
