Salve Grumio.....Alright landlord 
Yep enjoyed Plebs!! Really wanted to hate this after seeing the adverts a couple years ago, but had me in stitches. If you like The Inbetweeners it’s a must watch, very funny
Half way through Black Mirror. One f
ked up series but enjoying it so far.
The Foreigner. Meh, felt like two films squeezed into one.
6 days. Massive bag of wk. Missed a trick there and could have made a cracking film. The sky documentary a few years ago was much better (can’t remember the channel now but was very good/accurate)
The Punisher. Excellent, fking brutal. Daredevil next
In Bruges. Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf.
Cracking!
Bright......gave up after half hour or so. That should have been a lot better.

Ozark
Just blitzed the series in the last couple of days.
Series 1 has echos of Breaking Bad in that the main character gets increasing drawn into the underworld despite being fundamentally a 'good' person.
Lots of plot twists, complex but believable characters and stunning scenery.
10 episodes in S1 gives the writers time to develop the story and give depth to the characters which UK TV drama struggles to do in the typical 6 episodes per series.
Don't know why I was put off when it was first released but I hope that season 2 isn't far away.

excellent isn't it - especially liked the characters who all acted in decisive, logical ways rather than the usual face-palming reactions I have watching most TV seriesJust blitzed the series in the last couple of days.

We've also just started The Code, set in Australia but don't let that put you off!
Journalist & autistic brother get embroiled in a cover up that involves a remote outback community and key members of the Australian Government.
We're at E5 of 10 and it's moving along nicely.
The autistic brother is (of course) an IT geek and the actor plays the part very well. His love interest is also easy on the eye!
Rake is also v.good - another Australian series.

Tried "End of the F***ing world" last night.
Fantastic, I'm halfway through and plan to watch the rest this weekend.
The 2 main characters are played superbly.
