Amazon Prime Video, what gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS)

Oh, homecoming is absolutely brilliant - just a few episodes in but the tone and mood is as good as you'd expect from the Mr Robot production team

Not sure how old it is but I come across Richard Hammond engineering connections program series 3 ,episode 2 is about F1 cars ,can’t find s1 or 2

I finished watching the Aaron Hernandez thing last night, was a good watch. The guy was mad to give up what he had like that!

o/t (this is on NF) there is a school of thought that it is possible that severe brain injury (CTE) could account for a fair chunk of his misdeeds

Yes, apologies mixed the threads up!

Agree with everything that has been said about Treadstone. Really, really hoped it would be good as I love all the Bourne films.

Too many characters, too much of a jumpy storyline, too complex, no atmosphere, sometimes poor chase scenes.

The Bourne films had an absolutely superb atmosphere. Tense, lonely, gritty, all that kind of thing. So much better produced.

Picard is out today.

Got to see the first ep last night. Really liked it, lots of promise.
A couple of critics have already complained it is too dark, not like the Star trek of yesteryear blah blah blah.

All I can say is I wasn't disappointed and my hubby (who is the proper trek fan of us two) was very happy with it. And he was very chuffed with himself when he told me where Picard's home was likely to be and was right

Just wanted to say, thanks to the comments on here I told hubby we need to watch James May new series. So glad we have, really enjoying it so far. I generally do like his individual series but we are watching so many things at the mo that we would have easily overlooked this one

I also broke the news to him that Treadstone isn't getting the best feedback, which he was disappointed about.

Love this film!! Had no idea it was on Prime, thank you

Picard was absolutely brilliant. Best Star Trek I've seen since the very best of TNG.

Agreed. I really enjoyed the world they portrayed, and the somewhat gentler (with age) Picard. It feels more like a detective series than the sometimes all-action Discovery. Story before SFX.

I just finished James May: Our Man in Japan and I enjoyed it so much that it almost feels like this year's Prime fee was worth it for this alone.

Thanks for the heads up - I haven't seen this in years.

Only in episode 2 but I love it. His presenting style is so down to earth and we're seeing so many aspects of Japan a tourist wouldn't find.
Would absolutely love one of those samurai swords from the first episode, god knows what they would cost given they take 18 months to make.

I watched Picard today and thought it was brilliant. Patrick’s acting is off the scale good and I loved the set up of his...I actually typed out a lot here but then realised it would be spoiler so stopped, deleted, wrote this tripe (which is the same level of tripe I wrote but without spoilers).

I’m not a Trekkie but have watched next generation et al. It’s definitely worth a watch. I was hoping it would be rubbish because I can’t binge watch it and have to wait for the next episode.
