Skyscraper with the Rock, excellent.
The Rock watched a film with you? Sorry, couldn't help it. Statements like that always remind me of an old episode of Cheers when someone says to coach they had seen Trapeze with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, coach replies, gee, did ya sit between them?

I'm going to get fking ridiculed for this, but 'Below Deck' has been my guilty pleasure of late.

"Follows the crew of a multi million dollar charter boat in the Caribbean."

I genuinely don't know why I like it
Just binged series one, starting series 2 .... can’t help but watch this trash.
We're the same, seems the other series are on Prime if you have it, have to sign up to Hayu but there's a 30 day free trial

it was a really, really good show. Often overlooked.

Looks like that is not on the US version of Netflix. How strange. Anthony's previous show was "No reservations" which is worth watching

He's very watchable. His autobiography is a good read too.

Same here - just started season 2; didn’t know there was more!!
It’s an easy ‘brain out’ watch at the end of the day!

Just binged 'Dead To Me'. Very enjoyable. S1 better than S2. Decent plot twists.

Agreed. Really enjoyed it & its humour. A couple of the cast members were easy on the eye too which helps.

Just finished The Sinner

Pretty much lost interest by the end of it, which was a pity as I seem to remember that the first two series were pretty good.

Daft plot and characters that I wasn't really able to invest in and so had little interest in their fate.

5/10

I found the first series really engrossing.

We watched part of the second series and then just didn't get round to finishing it.

Tried the first episodeof series three a few nights ago, just didn't gel. Can't say why for sure, just didn't work, so no more of that one.

In anticipation of Dark S3 on Saturday have binged S1 and 2 again over last few days, so much easier to understand second time around. Saturday would usually be an unusual day to release a series like this but just in case you had not noticed it is the day of the apocalypse at the end of S2 (27/06/2020).
Knew this first time around but still find it fascinating that Charlotte's daughter (Elisabeth) is also her mother, that's time travel for you.


Edited for spoiler.

Actually, on a thread recommending stuff to watch, that is a massive spoiler.

I've watched S1 and S2, but people come here to find stuff they haven't watched/missed the first time around.

I would agree. I would be considerate to put the post in spoiler tags just in case.

Exactly the same here, our interest just petered out in S2.
