Time for a new thread for all your great suggestions. If you have Apple TV the movie Ghosted was a lot of fun.

Thanks for starting a new thread SpaceQ! Lookin forward to all the suggestions!

For previous suggestions check here.

We started watching a new Netflix series called The Diplomat. So far, it's very good. Kerri Russel is a reluctant new ambassador to the UK following a terrorist attack on a UK ship. She is great.

Thanks for the tip Drac, I had been wondering about giving that a try and will certainly do so now: I think it may be from at least part of the same production team as Line Of Duty.

Also thanks for the tip Draclvr, I just watched the first episode of The Diplomat and yes so far so good, and yes Keri Russel is a great actress, really loved her role in
"The Americans".

and Mathew Rhys from the Americans is in the new Perry Mason series as Perry Mason

Yes Mathew Rhys is a great actor and looking forward to catching on Season 2 of Perry Mason, lucky man being married to Keri Russel both great actors, I wonder if their 3 children will follow their footsteps?

Just started Foundation which I had been meaning to catch for a while. One of the first science fiction books I ever read. So far so good.

Thanks for that mention flotsam: sounds like time to renew my Apple TV + subscription

flotsam - I really liked Foundation. They should be ready for season 2 some time this summer.

Draclvr/Starcom - I like Keri Russell too. Have you seen the movie August Rush? I think any Keri fan would love that movie.

I have moved on a few episodes and am enjoying it a lot SQF. Good to hear there is a 2nd season

Taking a break from Alchemy of Souls to watch Black Knight. It's quite good. Dystopian Science Fiction. I have to say, I'm impressed with some of the Korean shows.

I agree hagatha re Korean shows, particularly when it comes to horror or horror adjacent (Hellbound and Kingdom for example). I haven’t watched Black Knight but it is on my list.

Black Knight is a decent enough story wrapped in a Korean action flick.

I'm waiting to see if Kingdom gets renewed before starting it, but I have heard good things about it.

So far, though, Squid Game takes the cake.

Indeed it does hagatha

While you wait for more squidness hagatha, maybe check out Alice in Borderland. Its also Korean and it has familiar aspects, not least of all the win at all costs games that are involved.
It has a Stranger Things vibe as well due to the YA protagonists.
I enjoyed both seasons but probably don't need another.

I've been watching The Chosen by Angel Studios on ROKU. It's about Jesus and his Disciples. I can't stop watching the 3 seasons and can't wait for the 4th. I love it!

Glad you are enjoying it TLC
Got to the end of Foundation and was well pleased. Another Apple show called Silo looks like it might be next on my list.

Just a few episodes of Alchemy of Souls left. They're more than an hour long, so I'm not blasting my way through it. It's a bit off the beaten track for me, with its dark themes mixed with cornball slapstick. Not for everyone but I've enjoyed it.


So much to choose from! Next week I'm going to cancel my cable since I haven't used it for more than a year.



TLC -- Norman Reedus is rather awesome, I agree. He would have been quite the presence on the catwalk in his former life as a model.




EDIT: So I'm watchin g The Last of Us, which is good, and then I think I'll try The Untamed, which is a Chinese fantasy series on Netflix. It got very good reviews. I watched the first episode last night and although I find the names confusing and all of the actors are stunningly beautiful and so far hard-to identify young men in white robes, it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Never heard of that hagatha- I will check it out

I'm going to give it a try, just for something different.

I also really enjoyed Alchemy of Souls, though I would call it more of a guilty pleasure since it was silly and good at the same time. Light entertainment for when shows like The Last of Us get to be too heavy.

There is definitely a place for such things

Anyone else watching The Swarm? A European thriller/horror series about eco-marine strange goings on partly based in hagatha's neck of the woods - took a while to get going and not sure where it is headed, but quite good fun!

Where is that streaming, Lex?

I finished The Last of Us last night. Quite the ending, and a great setup for season 2. Both Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are fabulous actors.
