Aye, I'm holding off on starting it until it's all available. Proper annoyed myself by blitzing through the first 8 episodes of Crowded Room* only to find the last two episodes aren't ready yet

*which is excellent btw

There's some really good stuff on Apple TV.

If you like your Sci-fi Foundation is very good as is Severance.

I liked Slow Horses with Gary Oldman (very much not sci-fi)

I did consider that but never got round to it, you'd recommend it then ?

Both series are good. I think the 3rd comes out later this year.

I’m about to start binge watching Foundation series one before diving into season two. I loved the books as a teenager so I have high expectations.

 

[Tredman]

Its very different to the books

Kinda tv related as I'm watching it on TV, but this guy is running the length of Africa and filing it for YouTube. Can be a bit laddy at times but that reduces as they realise the enormity of the task

Yeah I've been enjoying that. They find themselves in some interesting situations.

Partly their own naivety at times I think. They also seem to underplay the sheer distances he's running every day - its massively impressive.

My mate worked on that show as a boom mic operator, I remember him telling me about it back in 2020 when they were whisking him around Malta and the Canary islands filming it.

I actually gave up on the show though, a lot of didnt make sense and you need to pay close attention which I wasnt

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

It's great, definitely worth watching

Started watching this tonight and totally agree, it's good so far. Fantastic soundtrack

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Just finished watching Tulsa King and Season 2 of Your Honour. Both fantastic TV.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

The 6th Commandment. Top class. Timothy Spall is brilliant.

 

[Lupo]

Yes we watched that in the week. Agree about Spall, excellent. What an evil bastard that Ben was

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Just started watching 'Hannibal'. Seems pretty good so far. At the same time I bought the 4 books in a set from Amazon for €20.
The new book is called 'Hannibal Rising'. Explains how Hannibal became Hannibal. So I'll read that one first.
Looking forward to this series.

 

[Boozad]

You’re better off reading Hannibal Rising last, they were written that way for a reason. And the show is fuck all like the novels.

Oh! Why is that?
I thought I'd do that after reading some reviews of the book/series...
It sounds like it should be first but the cynic in me thought that after the success of the other 3 books, "I can make some money by tapping into Hannibal as a youth" and in the 2nd world war...

I’ve read them all multiple times, believe me it works better reading them in the order they were published.

Been watching the Goldin Touch on Netflix.

About a company that auctions of sporting items and branching out into other areas as well. Standard OTT American documentary but some of the stuff I can't get my around, mainly collectable cards

From cards from packs costing $40 selling for nearly $1m and cards created to make a fuss selling for over $2m


Some of the collections they get are insane. One guy who owns every Apple computer every made and a guy with around $100m worth of sporting items
