I’ve finished Ozark, really enjoyed. I’m now looking for something new so any suggestions? Schitts Creek gets good reviews, anyone seen it ? A few people at work suggested Queen of the South, I’ve watched the first two episodes but it isn’t really doing it for me, fire away.

Just started " The Stranger" looks promising. Next after that is likely "zerozerozero" then "Your Honor" which both look okay.

The Stranger turned out to be really good, would recommend.
I started watching "Your Honor" when I was away at work but it went on the subs bench for now, it looked really good but it seemed quite tense, heavy going, and I fancied something a bit lighter and easier to watch, I'll go back to it.
Not long finished "Pennyworth". Alfred Pennyworth is Alfred, Batman's manservant, and this is his back story. He was in the SAS during the 2nd world war, and goes into security afterwards. The plot revolves around a fascist group trying to take over Britain. 2 seasons, really quite enjoyable.
Just watching the last episode of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier". This basically picks up where Avengers endgame finished, if you're an Marvel fan, then this is for you, if you aren't, it likely isn't!

I’ve seen zerozerozero, worth watching, the timeline moves around a bit which caught me out to start with but not bad.
I’m in the middle of Godless, I needed a change from drug cartels I’m enjoying it but when I get to the end of an episode I’m not desperate to put the next one on straight away.
I’ll put Pennyworth on my list

The final episode of Godless is the mother of all western shootouts ! Well worth persevering with to get to that.

I think it was Spider-Man No Way Home, back in Janurary. I saw it in the cinema with my family. I don't watch many films at all, so that's why the last film I watched was back in Janurary.

I watched Daniel Craig’s final effort as Bond the other day. I’ve enjoyed his films but this one was disappointing

Agree, felt a bit "wokey" for me. The reason people fell in love with Bond films was that he was a lad, sexist, mysoginist, and definitely not PC, he was t5he man we all wanted to be. Not some bloke with a wife and a kid. The franchise has lost all identity, we loved the gadgets and sexist jokes, now it is just bland.

Not a film but the 'Jack Reacher' series. The guy playing Reacher (Alan Richson) is the real thing. A big, athletic guy who can act. The series itself is great fun and I am already looking forward to series 2.

I’ve watched this too, I agree about him being big and athletic
. I’ve read a few Reacher books and series 1 is pretty much a copy of the first book Gunvald Larsson

Yes, it sticks very closely to the book. The only real change was the addition of Neagley into the action. She's not in the book.

It's excellent. It really underlines to me how mind-boggling it is that they cast Tom Cruise to play him in the films before this. Jack Reacher is supposed to be a bit of a psychopath and a giant. I cant think of a worse casting decision.

I tend to watch more TV shows than movies now, last film I watched, at the weekend, was the new Beetlejuice one, which was actually okay, more of the same from the original with a nice bit of nostalgia / continuity.

Deadpool v Wolverine is disappointing isn't it ?

It feels like they didn't really need to bother. The cameos in the earlier films were funny, but not funny enough for a whole film.
Feels like the Deadpool franchise is done now.

Star Wars is always the first film I watch every year. I ended up watching empire as well. I guess tonight I'm watching return of the jedi!
Enjoyed Wallace and Gromit over Christmas.

I went to see "Nosferatu" this afternoon, Mrs morty's choice, not mine. She loved it, I thought it was shite.
But in better news, that was the first time I had been in the Odeon on riverside in about 5 years, and it is amazing since they did it out. Proper comfy reclining seats, with infinite legroom. Technically not needed by me as shortarse.
