As ever, be careful what you choose to believe online. I can confirm with 1st hand experience that Express VPN does not work with Netflix, but that piece lists it in the number 1 spot, claiming "unrestricted" access to Netflix. Absolute tosh.
Nord works.
Yep. Doesn't work with Five online catchup though!
Weird that works for me but iPlayer doesnt biggrin

I have a question through VPN's that i think i know the answer to.

We have smart tellies in the house and use the native apps. As these TV's are configured to simply use the router out to the internet can i configure something that will route a certain TV IP address or hardware address via a different default gateway?

No fancy routers at the moment. Only standard Sky Q but not against installing something if it means i can get more international content.

I also use the Netflix app on Sky Q.
You can set it up at the router level so all devices are connected to the VPN without any apps needing to be installed, but I haven't tried it myself.
Do a search for it online and there is guides etc of what you need to do.

Never watched Five catch up before so I had to check. It works for me.

Does iPlayer work for you? That's the only one that I cant get to work regularly, sometimes it works but think it depends on the server you choose.

Same as you, sometimes.

Thanks to who suggested Dark.
Really enjoyed it.
Found it better listening to the German language with subtitles.

Always best to watch stuff in the native language and subtitled - if nothing else it makes you concentrate on it and not drift off to phone/iPad/lappie etc biggrin

My missus discovered it for us, her movie taste is fairly awful but she always finds good TV stuff.

it wears a bit thin after a while. The best characters are the drugged up kid who can see dead people (Klaus)and the burly hitman Hazel who has played other psycho role brilliantly.
I really enjoyed it man, complete hokum but great characters and decent story

Slightly left field but currently watching “circus”. A 2 part documentary on the history of the American circus. From P T Barnum up to the middle of this century.

I don’t really have much interest in the circus but this is fascinating. The scale is incredible - big tops with multiple rings, housing over 16000 people.

Couple of the big showmen were turning over in excess of 1.5m dollars - in the mid 1800’s.

The historical footage is interesting - the obsession with animals and having the most and biggest was something I’d never really thought about.

Got bored half way through which was disappointing as should have been exactly my type of show. Didn't take to any of the characters and felt very derivative.

In other news very happy to see production on season 2 of The Alienist has started https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-alienist/28115.... That and Mindhunter are 2 of my favourite shows from the past couple of years and looking forward to seeing what's next from both of them. smile

Anthony Jelesnik’s comedy special - fire in the maternity ward.

Very very dark.

Very very funny!

No one who is easily offended should watch this.
Tried this and couldn’t get on with it. He’s just trying to be dark without being particularly funny. So much so the punchlines are kinda predictable.
Same here.
I actually preferred his previous show "Thoughts and Prayers", the punchlines are a lot less obvious.

It must be down to which servers are used.

I watched Dead to me over the weekend, with Christina Applegate and the delightful Linda Cardellini.

Woman's husband killed in a hit and run, she goes to grief help group, meets Linda Cardellini's character who is a bit out there. They bond and become fast friends and the twisty, turny narrative unfolds from there.

It was not at all what I expected. It was a bittersweet, sometimes very funny, sometimes incredibly sad (a dramedy then) but, always thoroughly entertaining.

Definitely recommended.

Oh, and did I mention that Linda Cardellini is in it cloud9
