I'm on series three. It is a bit heartbreaking but I love it.

I keep having to take breaks from This Is Us.

I can’t remember if it’s free or pay because it’s on Netflix too so I don’t pay for it there, but Grace & Frankie is quite charming in a low-stakes way. I hated TMMM despite wanting to like it.

I watched The Platform a few weeks ago and really rate it if you're (one) is into gory horror.

The 2nd series of After Life is on.

This absolutely killed me. It wasn't long after I'd fallen in love with a guy who'd lost a leg in Afghanistan by stepping on an IUD and I wound up on the floor sobbing my eyes out. What bravery though!

I've just seen a rather good gentle ghost film called Widow's Walk on Amazon.

We've just started The Durrells...years behind everyone else but it's easy viewing. I may shout at the entitledness of them all but I love Keeley Hawes

We started Gangs of London last night. It's very violent. 😳

Tons of great reviews online.

I watched the documentary about Hasidic Jews last night. I found it very upsetting.

We’re going to start Afterlife S2 and I need something a bit more lighthearted as well, but I’m not in the mood for Too Hot To Handle. I’ll have. A look through the thread but in the meantime if anything immediately springs to mind let me know.

It's not on Netflix but I've absolutely adored Ghosts on iPlayer. I avoided it initially as I disapprove of making fun of the supernatural but it's completely brilliant. I've watched some episodes twice already. It made me realise I need more laughter in my viewing!

Ghosts is great. I'm intrigued as to why you disapprove?

I enjoyed this too, I got out of the habit of watching it and missed the later ones.

I quite fancy Gangs of London too, Duo, although I am not great with violence.

Because I expect and want to be scared by ghosts, not to laugh. It comes from when my mum gave me The Canterville Ghost when I was small. I was so excited but I took it back to her and complained it hadn't frightened me. Ghosts however has enlightened me.

Perhaps it's fear of disappointment rather than disapproval if I unpick it. For me it's like being invited to a dinner party and having Macdonald's served up on a plate.

I'm not a fan of gangs and their stories. I've never watched The Godfather for example but this is very lavish and arresting. I read a review where it was likened to GoT in scale. We've only watched the first episode which is feature length.

I’ve recently started this too, I do love the coziness of it, and agree that Keeley is great.

Sounds good, I might give it a go!

I started this and really expected to love it, as I have very fond childhood memories of the books and Brian Blessed TV series. But I really disliked all the characters except for Mrs. Durrell, who would have had to have been about 14 when she had her first child :ella: Maybe if I rewatched or read the original versions now I'd feel the same way about them too?

I didn't like the new series at all. I love the Hannah Gordon version and the books still make me roar with laughter.

Not Netflix, but has anyone been watching Devs on iPlayer? It's a sci-fi thriller type thing and not what I'd usually go for, but I quite liked it.

That's reassuring, I was worried I might re-read and find I hated them all in the books too :))
