Watching even more than normal at home with the lurgy!

Last night was the latest Studio Ghibli (a great surprise as I thought he'd finished for good). Weird and magical as always with Miyazaki. The Boy & The Heron. I read one review which said it ended abruptly and it did. That was my only gripe though.

I simply love Studio Ghibli films. Not a bad one amongst them.

Then I watched The Good Nurse about real life hospital serial killer Charles Cullen. And after read all about him and his crimes as is often the case.

Just about to start watching Surviving R Kelly which should be a blast!

I just this minute finished watching documentary on Sidney Poitier. What a man!!

Richard Latimer

@Ryan it's on my list to watch

Ryan

The show nobody wants this is very very good!

Richard Latimer

If you haven't watched 'The Menu' with Ralph Fiennes watch it. That is a fun film! Most assuredly fucked up!

Akiva Anderson

Anyone played the new Star Wars game, ‘Outlaws’?

John s

@Richard-Latimer Will take a look thanks.

Richard Latimer

Oh yeah, and Unforgotten - Series 5.

Watched all 4 previous seasons before that and pleased to say it's still a really good watch.

Specialist police unit investigating cold cases when bodies are found in suitcases and other lovely places.

Who is it, who killed them.... what exactly happened?? Riveting if you like that sort of thing.

Richard Latimer

@John-s Shrinking is decent feel good tv as well. Give it a go if you like Harrison Ford and Jason Segel.

Richard Latimer

Been watching a fair bit recently. Never watched much Morse but decided to give the prequel a go. Endeavour. Really enjoyed, especially living so close to Oxford and recognising certain areas.

Fleishman is in Trouble. Very good but then it pulls the rug out from under you to give a very different perspective.

Follows a newly divorced guy just trying to get through it all while co-parenting his kids.

Ted Lasso was great, definite feel good tv.
I heard there will be another season.

Stephen Hancox

@Richard-Latimer Yeah, too many funny characters and storylines to name and spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it. I miss the show, will be thrilled if another season comes along.

Richard Latimer

@Stephen-Hancox that's the thing isn't it. There's no real villains other than Rupert and he's hardly in it.

Loved the arc with Nate too although won't spoil it.

Stephen Hancox

@Richard-Latimer Yeah big fan of Ted Lasso, a real positive feel good entertainment. I hated Jamie Tartt to begin with but the gradual character change over time was impressive. Roy Kent is hilarious. Also "Football is life!"

Adam

@Richard-Latimer This was recommended to me by some random on a plane and I still haven't got round to it, will check it out though!

Richard Latimer

Any Ted Lasso fans here?

Just finished season 3 convinced it works be the final one. Seems the cast are up for doing more.

Another show you can add to the list of....it's just nice. Makes you feel totally warm and cosy.

Richard Latimer

And Tommo. First saw him in Plebs which was decent.

Richard Latimer

I love the actor who plays Vinnie. He's brilliant in most things he's in to be honest.

Simon Bates

@Martin proper northern this, and funny, get it on your tv.

Simon Bates

@Richard-Latimer when he argues with his neighbour about pigs, "Your pig is a c***" "No, your pig is a c***)
