Anyone been watching Shooter?
Very American-hero in a Jack Reacher type way but as long as you can leave your cynicism behind it is totally compulsive and utterly brilliant.
One of those little gems that you cannot stop watching the next one of until it's 2am and you're up for work in 4 hours. But maybe just one more.
Well that only works if you weren't there from the start...Very American-hero in a Jack Reacher type way but as long as you can leave your cynicism behind it is totally compulsive and utterly brilliant.

If you're new to it, then binge away
If you noticed it when it started you'd have had to put up with weekly episode releases which feels really odd after getting used to binge-viewing.
I'm still enjoying Shooter though...."man-tele"
Still a good show though.
The Equalizer: A Denzel Washington movie. A bit slow to get going but once it does, there's plenty of action and gore. Not a complicated movie but it kept me interested.

Green Room is on Netflix now too which got some interesting reviews. Stewart looks like a nutter in it so will break out the wine and chocolate tonight and see what it's like.
I'm not sure if it been posted here but I'm currently half way through Last chance U . It's a documentary about a college American football team. I have very little interest in American football but have found this documentary completely watchable. It's very much a real life Friday night lights. It's worth watching it for the coaches apaplectic rage when things aren't going well.
I'm one in on "The Expanse" as of last night.
So far it is a mix of the old Total Recall [a] meets Outland [b] meets Battlestar Galactica [c]. Nice effects, looks great, but quite cliche heavy. I'll be having a look at E2 later on though as good sci-fi is few and far between of late.
[a] The original Arni one
[b] Sean Connery mining sci-fi film I only vaguely remember
[c] The dark and moddy re-make from 2004

Anyone picked up Travellers yet? Ten minutes in to E01 and it's pretty intense. Not read any reviews...
Binged my way through it Fri-Sat, thought it was bloody good tbh. Really kicks it up a notch in the last episode!

May have already been mentioned, schitts creek? Written by and starring Eugene levy and his son, also has his daughter and a couple of other Levy's involved.
His family go from being mega rich to losing everything and move to a hick town he bought, living in a motel.
Quite charming actually. The wife is hysterical - she has that mad borderline-alcoholic vibe going on. The bit where she has to film the commercial is very amusing indeed.His family go from being mega rich to losing everything and move to a hick town he bought, living in a motel.
