Pick of the films I've seen recently:

Champions with Woody Harrelson as a basketball coach who gets community service and has to coach a team of kids with disabilities.

Loved it. Very funny but also a really warm story.

John Folan

Fargo is excellent. Series 4 a bit meh but 5 is brilliant.

@John-Folan just about to get back onto Apple TV, need to do the new series of Slow Horses then will do Masters!

@Mark-Maguire I stand by my 3 week old comments

Another top Aussie series is "The Tourist." Down as a thriller the dark comedy and regular comedy also shine through. I need to get a job with the Australian Broadcasting company

@Tony-Hastie agreed - loved it.. ha just realised you said this 3 weeks ago

John Folan

Masters of the Sky on Apple is excellent.

Also just finished watching season 3 of Cobra Kai.

So much nostalgia, so many awesome fights and it just keeps getting better and better!

Just watched Wonka. Really enjoyed it. Great cast, only a few songs if the fact it's a musical puts you off.

Timothy Chalamet was great as Wonka

Boy Swallows Universe on Netflix. Best thing Ive seen in a while. It’sdown as a crime drama on IMDB but Id chuck a bit of a dark comedy tag onto it as well. Quality Aussie TV

Excellent. Thanks for the recommendation. I love dark comedies.

Definitely not my usual fare and gets off to a slow start. But I highly recommend the “Triangle of Sadness” on Amazon Prime. @Richard-Latimer this will be right up your street. A very dark comedy with excellent societal commentary. Quality.

John Folan

Everyone needs to watch the Netflix documentary. Word War II: From the Frontline.

It’s captivating and terrifying at the same time.

Just finished watching season 3 of Derry Girls. Very moving finale. Funny as normal but also very profound and emotional ending at the time of The Good Friday Agreement.

That must have been a monumental moment @Akiva-Anderson

It certainly was. People had reservations and a lot of people from both sides were troubled that murderers were being released from prison. Some of these murderers became advisers and government officials.

It’s the price you pay for peace. No side got everything they wanted. We had to compromise, it was difficult, but worth it.

Our peace process should be a model for those who seek peace throughout the world.

What have you done with Keith?
