As all the Netflix Marvel shows are now axed, I'm finally getting started on them. So far Daredevil is excellent. Jessica Jones however was a bit shit and largely skimmed the first season.

Enjoying Romanzo Criminale too. Not as gripping as Gomorrah but still really good. They really capture the 70s vibe.

Cobra Kai season 2 was getting a bit soppy but the arse kicking has picked up in the later episodes. Expecting great things from Kreese still, full Nam combat gear and an assault on LaRusso motors hopefully.

The fight at the end of the season is unreal.

I'd advise watching them in the order they were released, as opposed to watching, say Daredevil start to finish or whatever. Each one follows on from events in the previous one (to varying degrees) and it all flows better that way.

Starting S3 of Stranger Things.. hopeful

The never ending story bit  :laugh: :laugh:

I'm about halfway through Stranger Things Season 2, a bit behind. Having enjoyed the first series, I must say I'm finding the second series to be a bit of a slog. Just seems to be retreading the same old ground. At episode 6 now, hope it picks up.

Recently got the free months trial on netflix and I am finding it very boring can anyone recommend any good documentaries or tv shows? I have no interest in Batman or Spiderman or any of that kind of stuff.

So far I just rewatched the US office and I am currently watching Narcos. For documentaries I have watched the one with the pizza man who tried to rob a bank, Holy hell, Blackfish and the one about Rajneesh. I tried staircase but turned it off after about 4 episodes. Also tried watching the one about the nun who was murdered in the 60's but it turned that off after two episodes.

Also anyone know somewhere I can watch the Jonestown TV series, Tv channel currently showing it or online? Have only seen one episode so far and it was brilliant but I can't find any of the other episodes anywhere?

Season 3 has abit of that also although its only 8 episodes this time around

Finished season 3 last night, I thought it was great, better than season 2. I'm glad they didn't follow up on the Eleven solo episode, that was terrible.



Stranger Things.

I was talking about the episode in season 2 when Eleven goes off on her own.

Oh right, thought maybe there was a separate episode or something I hadn't seen in between seasons.

I wonder how long they will keep it going for as I feel its starting to drag a little. Another season or 2 maybe.

Stranger things S01 was good. I made it about 4 episodes into S02 and stopped. Utter shyte and won't be going back.

City on a Hill. Kevin Bacon is class in it, good show kinda of like the wire about boston bank robbers.
Finished Years and Years. Very good watch about how society could go even more polarised between left and right.
Started the virtues. Acting is fantastic.

The Ken Burns/Lynn Novick series of documentaries on Netflix are very good (of those that I've watched so far anyway). The Vietnam war series is tremendous. It is also epic in length - clocking in at about 17 hours or something. It's worth every minute though. They also made a US Civil War series, a Prohibition series, an American West series and a WWII series. I am currently watching the latter and it's very enjoyable.

There's a website/app called Just Watch - https://www.justwatch.com/ie - where you can select the services that you have i.e. Sky, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes etc. and then input an actor's name, a genre or whatever and it'll tell you whether it's available. This service in location specific so if you're watching Netflix US using a VPN and you go looking on Just Watch's Irish site then you will run into errors



I also highly recommend downloading the All 4 app from Channel 4 - the amount of free (OK there's a few ads) high quality content available is astounding.
