Is that based on the book by James Clavell? I read Musashi and was looking for something similar and been meaning to read that book. It might be quicker to watch the TV series.

@Richard-Latimer Will watch that!

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.

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!

[Tony Hastie]

@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

[Mark Maguire]

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

[John Folan]

Masters of the Sky on Apple is excellent.

@Richard-Latimer
Seen that was good think what made it was
Original characters used

Wednesday is not a bad watch

[Richard Latimer]

Also just finished watching season 3 of Cobra Kai.

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

[Richard Latimer]

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.
