    Might as well throw this is here while I'm at it as a bit of a NZ rah-rah, The Boys and Antony Starr plug:

    'Goliath' season one was very good- the first episode of season two doesn't bode well for the remainder of the series (which jibes with reviews), but, at a minimum, season one (which wraps up entirely in the final episode- season two introduces new characters and a new storyline) is worth a watch.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    I'll always have time for Goliath. Billy Bob's well portrayed character is entertaining no matter the car crash of a plot line going on around him.

    I like him as well, but, after watching S02E02, I might be done (and I initially got so hooked on the series that I binge-watched season one in a couple of days). Still, I highly recommend the first season, which was very entertaining.

    Long Way Up. The Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman motorbike ride from the tip of Argentina to LA on electric Harleys begins on Apple+ today.


    First 3 episodes will be released today, then more released every week.

    Haven't got Apple+, but can presumably download it for free in 1080p within a few hours of the release.

    ^good news

    P-Valley

    Original story revolving around the pole-dancers in a titty bar in the Mississippi Delta.

    Gospel dancing Jesus freaks, trans-sexual cross dressers, closet-gay gangsta rappers and more titties than you can shake a stick at.

    You get a good long look at the lovely milkers on Elarica Gallacher in most episodes.



    So git yo black asses up on in here bitches and let uncle Clifford look after you...

    I'd like to unrecommend this.

    Let's hope that E04 and up aren't as paint-dryingly boring as E03.

    It has been quite bleak, given the weather conditions and they appear to be on a steep learning curve or learning to adapt as they go but I won't give up on it.

    I expect they will 'warm up' to the task and their personalities along with the locations will shine through as they have in previous trips.

    I hadn't realized that Charlie Boorman has had 2 serious bike accidents which must still affect his mobility (obviously) and confidence on those gravel roads, fair play to both of them.

    Electric bikes with no sound must be like freewheeling on a very heavy bicycle!! I'm surprised at the length of time it takes to get a full charge.

    Recently watched "The Devil All The Time", set in rural US (West Virginia) in post WW2 through to later. Several stories running at the same time, though easy to follow. Excellent casting (Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and others), deals with abuse, corruption and religious fervour. Highly recommended.

    Yeah, they're very strange at this stage of their development.

    Minimal range, and must also carry a larger element of danger - complete silence. As the saying goes, a loud bike is a safe bike.


    Still though, if they go like those electric supercars that wipe the floor with Lambos and Ferraris, count me in a few years.

    Think I read that thread. Double century, if I'm not mistaken.

    Good number of clicks for advertising streams.

    Ratched (2020, Netflix)

    Dark backstory of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

    Only just started it but it's violent....

    Mine takes 6 hours to charge and only goes 60km. If there's is similar that's a lot of episodes to watch

    Ha ha! I take your point.
    I see there's ten episodes in total, so something must have gone right.

    Bit strange, but worth a watch. PAG's recommendations continue to be consistently good.

    I am not sure whether to keep going with Watchmen

    Just finished episode 2

    It is kind of engaging on several levels but the story feels incoherent at the same time

    Ratched looks good. Prequel back story for the arch-villain cuckoo's nest ward nurse



    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratched_(TV_series)

    Whole series available instead of the Chinese water torture dripfeed so it can go straight to the front of the queue

    Saw on the news that the Emmys had happened. Yawn. But, for the first time ever, one series won every category in the comedy section. Called Schitt's Creek.

    So, I took a look at Episode 1.

    I now have a much better appreciation of how Trump got elected.......

    ^^ I watched the first episode of Ratched last night. I’m in. We’ve got Sarah Paulson vs. Judy Davis in a thriller series!

    I'd keep going. It's full of surprises.

    I watched Schitt's Creek, wouldn't call it memorable since I can't recall whether I got through the entire series.

    I have a vague memory of watching it for a few minutes and, presumably, concluding it was indeed Schitt.
