Page Eight
Have we had this yet?
I don't know how I missed this first time first time round.
Appeared on my Netflix this week.. pleasant enough little spy tale rather well done.
Part of a trilogy I'll now have to seek out.
Has elements of Bourne & Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy feel about...
But also a slightly TV movie gloss.. but I liked it.

Seen this but not got round to it yet - I feel they need to be watched in the correct order - is that so?

According to IMDB. The two sequels to Page Eight (2011), Turks & Caicos (2014) and Salting the Battlefield (2014), were first announced by the BBC on 3rd May 2013. The back-to-back productions were both first broadcast in 2014.

Finished The Night Agent this evening. Pretty solid. Bit typical American in places but overall definitely worth a watch I think.

Half way through it, throughly enjoying it.

A bit typical American….I am on the first one and it is terrible. Cheese fest of unbelievable things so far.

Exactly what I thought. I've read stories it's the best thing on Netflix and how great it is. I'm 5 episodes in as the other half loves cr@p like that and it's like every other badly acted, miscast, generic, American twaddle.

Agreed. Sneaking into Camp David by hiding under a parcel shelf

I stumbled across these during lockdown. Like youI had no idea and missed them when first out. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for that - I didn't realise there were sequels. As I broadly enjoyed Page Eight, I'll track them down ....

Agent Elvis - still not completely sure what to think of it.

I have this on my watchlist but haven't got around to it yet. How many eps are you in?

Finished it, the episodes are short.

It's not bad and the overt weirdness is fine, I think it's the slightly creepy influence Pricilla Presley has clearly had over some of it that puts me off it a bit.

The general batst insanity of so much of the plot is OK; don't look for rationality in it, just treat it as the drug addled dream of someone with an interest in Elvis.

Murder mystery 2

I watched this a couple of weeks back. Slow but engaging.

We are enjoying 'Suits', never seen it first time round, some really funny moments involving one of the characters, Louis Litt, and each episode stumbles from crises to crises in a wholly unbelievable but enjoyable almost old fashioned way. Enjoyable rubbish!!

Anyone been watching Outlast ?

Its a survival reality show (yeh I know) in Canada - its actually decent, some of them only lasted a few days! I watched the first few last night.. seems proper.

Scratch that... I got to Ep 5 ... it sort of went off the rails

Ep 1-3 were quite decent though

Waco is a good documentary. Some great interviewees and not drawn out like a lot of Netflix documentaries.

I watched this recently and enjoyed it a great deal. It’s definitely worth seeking out the other two parts of the trilogy — the second part was my favourite. You'll find both ‘Turks and Caicos’ and ‘Salting The Battlefield’ on ITV X. They definitely need to be watched in strict sequence.

Wtf didn’t realise how mad koresh was. The woman saying “a woman is of age at 12” bonkers

Green Glove Gang

Heres'a niche one for you... trio of wily old dames up to mischief.
Its comedy and its a bit like Hustle (with Robert Vaughn) or Charlies Angels played by Polish ladies.
Really rather well done and keeps the Mrs chuckling.

3 episodes in so far, agree its rather unbelievable in places but reasonably entertaining none the less

If you're trying to find this on various apps.. search : The Worricker Trilogy. (Recommended).
