There are two actors who only play themselves.

Tom Hanks and Jason Statham.
Tom Cruise & Will Smith hehe
And it's not necessarily bad: Clint Eastwood.

Let's not forget the dizzying array of people from different nationalities that seem to have a Scottish accent.

(And who may or may not play tennis)

Yeh, its awesome, starts slow but ramps up...

S3 was a let down though as it got cancelled and they rushed the story / hurried to tie up to the plot...
Cheers, I’ll stick with it, her in doors is losing interest.

A bit late to the party, as was last years release, but watched The Devil All The Time yesterday.

Was watchable, but in a 'what is the point of this mad film' kinda way.

I watched the first one and gave up as the dubbed voices were getting in my nerves. Might persevere with it in that case.
Lupine was great fun, if a little contrived.
I wasn’t aware there was a dub, and would never consider a dub over subtitles.

I’ve not followed the whole thread, so apologies if it’s been mentioned before, but we enjoyed ‘Midnight Diner’.

Just for you lot I tried "the Crew" NASCAR based comedy.

Don't bother, it's an awful by the numbers US sitcom just set around a racing team.
None of the characters have any redeeming qualities and you've seen them all before, the nervous socially awkward computer genius/head engineer, the sassy tiny lady who runs the place, the no-nonsense mechanic, the idiot driver, the slobby/one of the lads crew chief and the new girl who takes over daddies team with no experience.
Agree with all of that. I didn't even make it through the first episode. It was the excessive canned laughter that did it for me!

Same,

I felt there is so much 'other stuff' out there why put up with the dubbing.

Bloodline - I enjoyed the first series. Slow paced but a good set of characters and plot. And Sunshine.

The Old Guard

Charlize Theron and cast

Brain out film with fighting etc, nothing more to say as I don't want to give the plot away but a bottle of plonk to go with it and it's a decent enough film, sequel on the way which should be good.

I enjoyed it smile

Yes good film, but saying that I would watch Charlize Theron paint my downstairs toilet and she would get an Oscar

Watching the new South Korean sci-fi series - it’s very good, albeit young and modern ... Sisyphus

We have started Behind Her Eyes.

Have not read anything about this . .... picked it on screen and pressed play.

After E1 No idea if it’s some thriller, comedy, romantic ...... but I like it!
Started it tonight, on ep2.

Really good! Can't figure out where it's going, but characters are drawing us in, great cast.

It was quite good, albeit with a little falter... felt like a BBC six-parter which are generally quite good.

Yes and yes. Drawn in by the fact it was short and interactive... a very long 45 minutes!
