I started watching the Tiger King last night and strangely my brother in Nairobi sent me this link this morning.

A film on Netflix that I quite enjoyed was Dangerous Lies. Not a big smash and not very good rating though.

 

[baldlygo]

I use them quite a bit and I have found https://troypoint.com/ to be a good source of clear and up-to-date info.
Combined with a good VPN it should let you access BBC iplayer, ITV hub, etc and also Netflix from other countries.

I have been enjoying Ingobernable and am now into series 2. It is set in Mexico and if you don't mind subtitles (some is in English) and liked series like House of Cards and 24 then you would probably like this one.

ps - Ingobernable translates to Ungovernable in English

A Netflix thread seems the best place to put these questions

We do not have Netflix but are considering it. How does one find a comprehensive list of what is available without joining first? I cannot find a way to do it on Netflix website. I have tried outside listingss but none of the films I put in were found.

How far back do films go? I tried such as 'The Night Porter' and 'On Golden Pond'

Where are the TV programmes?

Can one watch online, or download, by access through a W10 laptop and then link it to a TV set?

As Jan says films and series come and go and are different for different countries. You can have a VPN which allows you to connect to different countries including the US which has by far the biggest choice. You wouldn't need a separate subscription for other countries.

OK - not Netflix - but we are looking forward to the gritty Paris police series Spiral - Starts tonight on BBC Four. It will be the last series and we will wait until it is all recorded before watching.

 

[baldlygo]

WELL tell him to bugger off from the Netflix thread then ffs.

It might be on Netflix eventually

I don't think anyone has mentioned Unauthorized Living. Reading the blurb does not make it sound very inspiring but I got hooked and had to watch through to the end. In Spanish with subtitles. Some despicable people doing despicable things but very well acted and written so that at times I even felt sorry for the worst of characters.

 

[baldlygo]

Are you sure you couldn't see it in English Paul, I have English, Spanis, French or Turkish audio
English Spanish, French, German and Russian sub titles.

Well, well, I watched the whole thing with original Spanish - never thought to check the audio. Still, it did make the occasional swearing a little bit less jarring. :smile2:

 

[baldlygo]

Oh no, there is another series. Did you watch both Paul? I can´t carry on, it´s getting too silly for me.

Yes, Jan I watched through both series. Carlos was a bit extreme I admit but I can imagine the effect of super-rich lifestyle on one or two of the characters I have met. It did put me off when Marcos came back to life though.

 

[baldlygo]

Just finished watching Emily in Paris which we quite enjoyed. Not the sort of series we normally watch but quite funny and good filming in Paris. I think quite a few of the jokes we have experienced in France first hand.

 

[baldlygo]

I suppose I liked The Dig because it portrayed a real discovery and dig. I also enjoyed it because I met one of the characters, Stuart Piggot. at a meeting at the British Museum. He kindly looked after my case as I went to the loo!

 

[baldlygo]

I have enjoyed watching Inventing Anna and thought it was just based on a book but apparently not. The star, Julia Garner, does a brilliant job. I also liked her as Ruth in Ozarks.

 

[baldlygo]

I've never been very interested in the goings on of the UK Royals but I have now watched the new Harry and Megan series. I thought it was enjoyable and well done and am now sympathetic towards the troubles the Sussexes are having trying to live a life free of antiquated royal/political interference and unbearable press persecution.

 

[baldlygo]

Of coarse the press never lies or tries to hoodwink the public to sell more papers.

-------snip------

On balance I'd rather believe Harry and Meghan, I've seen nothing to make me think they are the baddies in this.

Me too

 

[baldlygo]

Surprised no one said owt about H&M.

Trying to download some stuff for the next trip next week and it keeps saying I have too much on other devices but I don't.

They have - you must have missed it

 

[baldlygo]

Watch H&M to put you to sleep Jan.

Ray.

I watched all 6 episodes and didn't fall asleep.
