American Vandal, quite funny in bits worth a watch.

We watched the first two episodes last night.

It has been very carefully put together and I really liked it.

Fair play to Netflix for taking the piss out of a lot of their own work.

I randomly started watching 'Travelers' last night, a sort of sci-fi effort where the consciousness of people from the future time travels to the present day to inhabit the minds and bodies of people who have reached their time to die. Their objective is to save the world from....something or other, I'm not entirely sure yet what it is.

Acting is good, characters are believable and the story is intriguing. I'm only 2 episodes in so far but, I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

I enjoyed that too.

The Expanse Season 2 - second season stronger than the first I thought. Finds a nice balance between developing the characters and driving the story.

Salvation

Cracking show.

We follow an elon musk type character as the clock begins ticking due to an extinction level asteroid heading our way in 186 days.

Thanks for the heads up, indeed not on Netflix unfortunately but binged the first 3 episodes last night. Apart from some glaring holes in the science which I can accept for dramatic purposes, it is a cracking show.

Working from home with Black Mirror on today. Episodes hit and miss IMO but some of them are excellent. Interesting/clever concepts behind all of them. All on Netflix now, completely passed me by on C4.

Jack Whitehall: Travels with my father .....Season 1 coming on the 22nd September .. should be good

Just watched this, some genuinely laugh out loud moments. Very interesting too especially if you are a fan of SE Asia. Very enjoyable series.

Everest. Thoroughly enjoyed it, it seemed fairly faithful to the Into Thin Air version of events although it avoided certain subjects rather tactfully. More importantly, the better half was gripped throughout (I knew what was coming next - she didn't.)
Well worth a watch.

Nothing in particular of late other than we can now watch Netflix in the garden

Cool, thanks for that, I watched it at the cinema when it was out and really enjoyed it, I shall watch it again.

Foo Fighters - Back and Forth

Straightforward documentary charting the end of Nirvana and the rise of the Foo Fighters, up until their Wasting Light album.
Quite enjoyed it actually...

Watched Norsemen last night. It's a norweigan comedy series about Vikings. Some funny moments!

it was very very funny and probably worth watching a second time.
