THE STRANGER

Worth a watch if you are bored but a 7/10 for me - OK, not great.
I suspect it works a lot better as a book.
Really enjoying this. Starts with a mysteriously decapitated Alpaca and then gets weirder.
Yes, I enjoyed it but didn’t understand why Jennifer Saunders got offed?
Thanks for that ... ruined it.

Use the f****** spoiler reveal or don't post spoilers!

Uppity Willy T Ribbs, if you're motor sport fan it's a great watch.
I was just checking in to see if this had been recommended yet.
Watched it at the weekend and thought it was excellent, especially so as some American-based motorsports programmes can be a bit...OTT

I watched the first 15 minutes then had to call it day for exactly that reason.
Yup, tried to watch this last night, got an hour in and even that was a struggle. Won't be finishing.

Probably a good idea to not keep quoting the spoiler post, there may be some people who haven't seen it yet.

Watched [The Stranger] over the last week or so.. Nicely done I thought, lots of twists and turns I'm still thinking about.
I thought the sets and locations were good. England looked very pleasant despite the undercurrent of what was going on.
Through a little research it was filmed in Stockport, the school was further north... Bolton School. I don't think I've ever seen that part of the world so sunny.
We enjoyed it too, there were quite a few rolleyes moments throughout the series, a couple of bits that weren't explained very well (ie. the big spoiler above about Jennifer Saunders being killed, no idea why he did that?) that I guess are explained more in the book?
Something that wasn't in the book was the teenagers having a party and one being found naked, it did feel odd to us that it was just something that was a complete coincidence, almost a red herring which is never appreciated in a whodunnit!

We're also getting through the third series of Sabrina, it's still good but it's going the same way as a lot of the shows that start light and bubbly but then get really serious which just isn't why we started watching the show. It's also starting to go a bit Star Trek where they fix problems by remodulating the shield harmonics to a resonate frequency, or in Sabrina speak that's digging up some stones around the coven that hadn't been mentioned before to boost their powers in order to send a signal.

Anyone watched Ragnarok, the Norwegian series?
Me, right now. 7/10 so far
Planning to watch this one. Looks good. Though how are you watching it? Dubbed or will it show in its original language with subtitles?
Dubbed, after a while you don't notice it to be honest.
We will still watch it even if dubbed so this is good to know.
Started watching Ragnarok in dubbed and to my mind it lost a bit in translation, managed to change settings to keep the english subtitles and have the original language, which was much better.

I thought it was a very subtle start to the Thor story and 6 episodes left me wanting more.

Just done The Stranger episodes 1-3. So far so good. Am really enjoying it.

I like his books anyway but as luck would have it I haven't read that one yet smile

Really enjoyed this, and easily watched due to only being a few episodes long.

I watched the first episode of Stranger and just couldn't get in to it. I've binned it.

Just watched The Bill Murray Stories and really enjoyed it. You'll need to VPN to the States to watch it though.

"This documentary highlights spontaneous encounters with the elusive, comedic veteran, who touches lives by simply showing up anywhere."

He really is a man who is living in the moment and seems to realise that even a small strange interaction with him can brighten peoples day.

I enjoyed the first few but final episode was disappointment.

Just binged Series 2 of Sex Education and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Some proper laugh out loud moments, and some which are a bit gross.

I really like the ambiguity of the year (helped by the myriad of older cars they use), plus the locations provide for some stunning backdrops.

Good to hear there's going to be a third series.
