Having watched and lauded Kingdom - it’s a hugely different story and theme. La Revolution has higher production values and has a much darker undertone.

Vikings was good and a good comparison with Barbarians - just enjoyed the latter more.

Fair enough. There's quite a craze for Middle-Ages drama now! You thought La Revolution had higher production values than Kingdom? I thought Kingdom looked gorgeous.

Finished Suburra, fantastic final episode that would have fitted in perfectly with Gomorrah. Very slick, dark and some unexpected moments.

+1 Rich
I introduced Mrs C to the series and we’ve started from series 1 now onto series 2. Better a second time...missed so much detail first time round...

Anyone else start muttering 'Nooooo your'e effing kidding me. Doubtful there is room for season 4 but possible. Great show, shame if it disappears.

Don't shoot me, but Mrs L & I are quite enjoying Virgin River. Rom Com Dram with a bit of an edge.

I watched this a while ago and seem to remember enjoying it.

Perhaps you and I should head over to the guilty pleasures thread

Blood of Zeus
Looks interesting, from the spoiler-free review on Den of Geek
https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/blood-of-zeus-review/

Set in the world of Greek mythology (but not a simple re-telling of an existing tale), it looks like it might be something I might enjoy. I used to like Greek mythology when we did it at school.

Another fan of greek mythology from school times. Love hercules the disney version but blood of zues is not that.

Was it any good?

Errr.....

Well just watched second episode of blood zues and its quite good.

Gives a nice backstory but im a sucker for greek gods in anime or magazines ala injustive gods among us part 4...anyway

[irocfan]

Just watched an 'oldie' - Centuwian. Much Roman/Pictish nonsense, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

[hiccy18]

Probably mentioned earlier in thread however recently started watching binging Lilyhammer, halfway through season 2 now and loving it. Only problem is I'm dreaming in Swedish now.

[olvias]

Queens Gambit finished. That was excellent.

Agnetha I trust.

Spiderman Into the Spider-Verse is now on Netflix.

This really is one of the better animated films.

As somebody who has zero interest in any of the Marvel films (Dr Strange aside, but then I am a geek when it comes to the Master of the Mystic Arts), this is a really good watch. Really interesting animation and a fresh, fun take on 'spiderman'.

If you're looking for something to watch with the older (maybe 8+ only for storyline rather than content) kids/teens, this is a good watch watch for an adult as well.

A solid 7.5/10 (8.4 on IMDB)

There were a couple of those...

Just noticed that S2 on The End of The F*cking World is up. Not sure for how long but has started well. I really enjoyed S1

Been up for ages mate, not everyone's cup of tea i would expect but i loved it.

[SistersofPercy]

I think I'm officially old. Currently loving Britains Greatest Castles.

Finished Barbarians enjoyed it

One thing I've noticed with the foreign language stuff is their series lengths, no wasted episodes and not overly long, leaves you wanting more rather than breathing a sigh of relief

6 or 8 episodes seems to be the default. I think it works well.

(Thusnelda was a positive factor) I hope it gets renewed.
