It's going to make 2001: A Space Odyssey look like The Clangers

The very wonderful Everything Everywhere All at Once is currently FwP.

Grab it while you can - ie, before Amazon levies a fee because it’s being re-released in cinemas due to Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, Original Screenplay, etc, all of which it will win, obvs.

And without looking at IMDB, spot the 40-year acting-career hiatus comeback star smile
Great recommendation, really works well.

just realised who it is lol

Very enjoyable film, I can't believe it passed us by first time round - just the kind of film we like.

Think TV movie and you won't be disappointed. Mel Gibson is in it for a few moments, but it is about Canada's greatest bank robber. Worth a watch.

Supernatural.

An easy watch and an absolute st ton of it, 15 series worth of 23 episode per series.

Muscle cars
Fighting
Ghosts and Goulies
Beer swilling raucousness all set to a classic rock soundtrack.

According to the the Mrs, the chief protagonists are 'eye candy' so it is win win.

Brilliant but don't expect to be intellectually challenged, that doesn't matter though.

Oh, and it is by the same chap who is responsible for "The Boys", which should make it easier to guess the flavour.
Just finished this, all 300+ episodes of it.

Absolutely brilliant.

The Consultant.

Bit weird.

Not a binger but maybe a episode each evening.

Some very dry humour in it.

Worth a peep

Having seen this recommendation I gave it a go yesterday, 3 episodes in. Feels a bit like male buffy the vampire slayer and I'm struggling with it a bit. Does it get better?

No that’s pretty much it
Wife and her best friend love it, I feel the same as you.

The consultant, looks good.

Definitely feels inspired by Musk.

4 in on The Consultant and enjoying it. Half hour episodes help.

Just hope the ending isn't an anti-climax.

The Consultant

Well i'm enjoying it, really like things like this, can't really define what it is, horror-comedy, satire? Quite intelligent as well in the writing and story, Christopher Waltz is worth watching it alone, even though he only ever plays one character, menacing darkness,he does it with aplomb.

Great binge stuff, that I can't really think fits any other shows..

Just finished it, really makes you think, and not many answers to questions you will have. Definitely won't appeal to people that like Mrs Brown but the comedy us there just hard to spot.
