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.
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 getmecoat

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.

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.

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 smile
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).

It's sort of interesting because of the whole underwater thing (must have been all sorts of fun making it) but very much a cheap horror like you'd find on Horror Channel back in the day. They all have the same look & feel.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park

Haven't got too far into it, but even though it's solidly Japanese the whole look/feel/content reminds me of a Channel 4 type show from back in the day. It's 20 years old so I guess it's the late 90s/early 2000s gritty teenage urban drama thing and everyone did them a similar way?

I’m on episode three and enjoying it so far.

Im assuming Peter and Rose end up fking and the chief of staff is dirty?
Well I was right with my prediction! I enjoyed it. Easy to watch. Sets itself up nicely for season two.
