I've got some seriously long flights coming up - any reccommendations for stuff I can download and watch from iplayer, netflix, disney wetc?

Stanley Tucci's Italy has been great for a bit of easy watching escapism

Welcome to Wrexham on Disney Plus is tremendous
I enjoyed Rings of Power on Prime (helped by the fact it really pissed off Tolkein 'purists' and racists online) - best looking TV show I've ever seen
Just started watching The Bear on Disney Plus - well worth a look
The Jeffrey Dahmer drama (that rhymes!) on Netflix is very good but very disturbing

I enjoyed it, apart from the couple of pointless episodes. Wonder if they are following this season?

 

[Langers]

Yeah they're doing season 2 based on this season.

Rings of Power?

I just thought it was really dull and the acting, such as it is, is appalling. It is lovely looking though.

 

[Langers]

Nah, the acting was fine and some of the chemistry between characters was actually pretty good (particularly Elrond and Durin).

I really enjoyed it.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Thought the acting was atrocious. Almost EastEnders level of rubbish at points.

However some of the horror scenes were excellent.

I'm re-watching Community on Netflix. Brilliantly quirky pop culture fest.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Just watch all of Parks & Recreation back to back. That’s all you need.

I did enjoy some of the enraged comments on social media, incandescent that black actors were cast as elves, in a world with dragons, underground demons, dwarves, magical horses, orcs and gigantic eagles.

Racists gonna be racists.

Nevertheless I stick by my opinion that the acting was crap.

Halt and Catch Fire on Amazon.

And of course the Last Dance on Netflix

I can't stand that show or most of the people in it!!

 

[machin05]

Parks & Rec is fucking brilliant. Matched only by Schitt's Creek which seemed to get better and better with each season.

 

[Tredman]

I've never watched West Wing, worth a watch?
