Looking for recommendations for stuff on Prime that I can watch whilst doing cycling Turbo training in the garage.

I'll be downloading onto a 10 inch tablet and have it set up beyond sweating distance. I'll be able to reach the screen, but I'd rather not.

TV series around the 50 mins to 1 hour mark will work well. They need to be relatively fast paced to keep my interest, and make the time pass. I'm already up to date on The Boys which mostly works quite well.

I've also keyed up a few episodes of Vikings and Hanna, but open to other ideas. Violence and nudity would be strong selling points!

Any ideas?

How about the DVSA cycling proficiency video, the hazard perception and the Highway Code.
Couldn’t resist....

We’ve been watching ‘This is us’ recently, A good family/relationships series, one to watch with the Mrs.

Does any of that apply to bikes?

"World's Toughest race" would seem an appropriate thing to watch while exercising.

Hunters?

The Al Pacino Nazi hunter series. Thought it was worth a watch.

Phantom

Cold war sub drama based on a true story

I enjoyed , it, good cast, Ed Harris and David Duchovny

7/10

Apologies for being about 5 years late for the party but could someone confirm so I don’t waste any more of my life.

After 2 great seasons, I am 3 into Goliath series 3 which seems to have been written by a teenager on a bad acid trip

Does it get any better or is it this st throughout?

Charlie Hunnam was the star imo

I thought his accent was terrible seemed to move around the country, it normally does not bother me but it did on this film

Yep, Hunnam was the least credible performance, IMO.

Hugh Grant pulled a proper shift, Michelle Dockery was great as the brittle moll and Matthew McConaughey was... well... his usual first class self.

The best bit was the outfits. Somebody has been watching too many Shane Meadows baddies!

It was the same as all his other movies, minus the good bits.

Crazy Rich Asians.

Yes, it's a Rom Com aimed at teenage girls but I loved it!

Have you seen Black Sails yet, I thougt it was pretty good. Violence and nudity, it ticks both boxes.

I have to hold my hands up here and say I can't even remember the third series. Absolutely loved the first one. So the fact it was so forgettable probably says a lot

It’s the drought, crows, acid trips, general weirdos season.............

Am I the only one that thought Colin Farrell's performance was the most enjoyable of the film?

I was a little underwhelmed until his character entered.

Good shout, I started it a while ago, and the missus lost interest. I could well go back to it!

I think he played just about the only wholely interesting character in the movie (or seemed to), and was like a breath of fresh air amidst the dreadful London accent/gangster fakery that typifies a Ritchie film.

I already posted this, but Animal Kingdom.

I've just finished it and need something else to watch!
