Just watched the first episode of ZeroZeroZero, so far pretty good.
Along the same lines as Narcos.
Was this amazon UK?

Posted a while back when I had just started The Expanse... Halfway through season 3. Superb !
Is the Expanse the one where the main character has a constant angry confused grimace on his face ?
Yes ! biggrin

Which is good, because Holden in the books is pretty much angry, confused or both most of the time! ;-)

Expanse is Citizen Kane compared to the new Star Trek Teletubbies

I've spent that much time watching it recently I've found myself talking to the Mrs like a Belter... As if she doesn't already think i'm a nutter !

I enjoyed the expanse so much so I've just started the books on Audio

Having a little more time on my hands I'm revisiting "Man in the High Castle" I tried when it first came out and loved the idea of "What if" but couldn't get into "films" and "parallel universe" side. Just finished S1 and its growing on me

I like the look of this having watched the trailer - but it’s not on Amazon UK unfortunately, so feel a bit let down...

I need a new series to watch, and after enjoying The Outsider on Sky Atlantic, I’m tempted to start Mr Mercedes. Is it worth getting into?

Quick question. When bingeing, sometimes I am able to skip recap and skip intro, sometimes not. This would appear to be random. Is it just me?

This is a pure guess on my part, but I would imagine that the metadata for the begin & end times for the recap and intro would have to be encoded by someone; either by the content creator or by a third party. So it is quite probable that some shows have it and some don't.

Something a bit different.

Thomas the Tank Engine.

Between Prime and YouTube it’s been a bit of a godsend when locked down with two small boys!

Thanks.

Shame they can't be consistent.

That does look very promising - just peeked at the first two or three minutes - cannot wait!
