Just finished off "The Strain" before my Disney+ sub runs out. Very good older school vampire horror. David Bradley is superb in it, as is Richard Sammel.

That's the one turned into a book isn't it. Are they connected telepathically to one main geezer?

I think the tv show is based on the books, written by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Yes The main geezer controls all the vamps, or 'Strigs' as they are called in the show.

Some really decent performances by some of the cast.

I read the book (not sure if all of them....think maybe only the last haha) and that was good.

@richard-latimer Will add this, really like Jamie Foxx - thought Baby Driver was brilliant.

Just watched 'Just Mercy'. Courtroom drama based on true story of wrongly convicted guy on death row.

Really good.

Jamie Foxx

Jim Jefferies Intolerant on Netflix. Brilliant.

Anything Jim Jefferies is f*****g hilarious!

His rant about women being miserable and how he could be gay just so he has a happy life is legendary

You seen Intolerant yet? He's toned it down a little as he would have to but the sharp edges are still there.

Talks about womens bed time rutines to go into the bathroom for 20 minutes and come out rubbing lotion into the arms and can only assume they've rubbed it all over their body......and they tell me what I've done wrong today. That's their little routine.

Found out a family member went to see him in Brixton 2014 yesterday. Well jealous!

It is now on my watch list! Thanks for the heads up

Watched Uncut Gems last night on netflix thinking it was likely some kind of caper. Way more brutal, depressing and dark than I thought it would be.

Just finished season 5 of the Expanse. Superb stuff, they had better release the next one soon!

A lot of people moaned. I thought it was excellent.

Moaned about what?!!! Bit too much Nagata, she is my least fav character, but loved the whole thing. Watched it in 3 days.

That was the main moan. I didn’t mind too much. Love that show. Can’t wait for season 6

Yea I say a bit too much but I am really nit picking there. Loved it season 6 better come out this year!

Also started watching the limited series on Netflix; 'Reckoning' Its pretty good, lead actor is a bit goofy but its quite good with the suspense and story telling.

@richard-latimer I loved that show, just got the final series left now.

If you like that, have you tried Castle? Similar dynamic without the supernatural element.

Think thats on my list somewhere. I kinda liked the supernatural element in Lucifer, was cool to see 'The' story from the devils pov. Plus as you said its an easy watch
