Can anyone point me in the direction of a Disney plus thread for recommendations ? I’ve sacked off Netflix for a few months in favour of Disney plus. I like the idea of watching the newest Star Wars spin offs but not sure what order and also need some new things to get into

Snowfall.

Best thing on there IMO.

Extraordinarily late to the party, but Stranger Things. Wow!

Bit of Lovcraftianish horror in the style of one of my favourite computer games (Secret World).

Not a relaxing watch though. hehe

Dopesick. If you enjoy Marvel type filler, I have enjoyed a few episodes of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and enjoyed Hawkeye. Watched Snpwfall on BBC, absolutely brilliant

Anyone know when Operation Mincemeat is going to be on Netflix? Thought it was this month.

Supposed to be 11th May but that date has come and gone…..

There’s another film/series about OM that I saw a few years ago, can’t remember which channel/service or what it was called…

Snowfall good, Mr.Inbetween better. ( Don’t mistake it with the film of a similar name with a hyphen)

Mr. Inbetween is good, agreed. But better than Snowfall? Not for me, excellent as it was.

Dr sleep ,

really good follow up to The Shining , but they missed a trick when in the hotel , with all the CGI these days and with Jack Nicholson retired it was a missed opportunity not to CGI a young Jack Nicholson instead of a double who looked or sounded nothing like him ...........similarly with Delbert Grady , such an iconic character played by the brilliant Philip Stone ............. still excellent movie

You're thinking of Cybill Shepherd.

Lincoln Lawyer (series)

Enjoyed the books and the film but the series is just standard glossy, acting by numbers.

The storyline might carry it through but it has the look and feel of a daytime soap.
I like it, yes it not a patch on the film, but an easy way to watch series, good sunday viewing.

I'm like that with Keanu Reeves. i started watching a film of his the other night and made it about a third of the way through. His eyes are like that of a shark. There's just nothing there. Wooden doesn't adequately describe it.
