The Sinner, 16 part mystery crime drama. Two Golden Globe Nominations, one for best Mini Series, one for Best Actress.
The series received critical acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes, has an approval rating of 94%. “Smartly unpredictable and led by powerful performances from a talented cast, the darkly compelling The Sinner sinks its hooks in fast and doesn’t let go.”
I would give it 7/10 for watchability.
Yes! Firefly Lane. A Netflix series about two women and their life from when they were youngsters. The series was taken from a Kristen Hannah book. It’s definitely a chick flick.
One Day is fairly recent:

I quite liked American Gods too, it’s about the old gods (biblical gods, etc) vs the new gods (technology/TV etc). It is a bit saucy and gory as well mind so not for the faint of heart!
Been watching a few older series lately. I watched
White Collar
Gilmore Girls
Virgin River
Suits
Easy watching series with lots of seasons to get involved with.
Above Suspicion a Police Drama on ITVX streaming . first shown in 2009 to 2012 , there’s 2/3 episodes to a series, and there’s 4 Series … good acting worth a watch .
The Luckiest Girl Alive was really good, I think it was probably Netflix.
I thought I wasn’t going to be interested in this film and to be honest, I couldn’t bring myself to watch all of it. Not because it was a poor film but just because of what it was about. I’m OK with heights and I have watched other films about the precarious situations that mountaineers get themselves into. This one though, watching it made me feel queasy. The Snooker was on another channel and I kept swapping to that …but still couldn’t help going back to the film to see how things were progressing. 
Oh yes loved that one. Borrowed it from the library last year on DVD.
Really suspenseful.
I think parachutes would have been a good precaution but I suppose the film was all about not thinking of or planning safety. I might be able to watch it all the way through now that I know the outcome.
I watched ‘This City Is Ours’ in a couple of sittings and thought it good. It is on BBC iPlayer beginning to end. It is about organised crime and rivalry within a group of drug dealers. Based in Liverpool, England.
I watched the film Daddio yesterday, with Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson. I chose this film on Netflix because I think Sean Penn is such a great actor.
I wasn’t disappointed. It’s good to watch a different type of film every now and then, it’s one of those with only two actors.
Anyone seen “A Simple Plan”, 1998 neo-noir crime thriller, on BBC iPlayer?
I adore that film, seen it 2 or 3 times.
I like detective series especially the ones with a supernatural hint. I love Grimm, and several of the older ones like Murdoch Mysteries, Miss Fisher, Rebus, DCI Banks, ect ect.
The old movie “The Blind Side”, starring Sandra Bullock, is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve watched it so many times, along with The Notebook."
I loved the film 'The Notebook" and the soundtrack is beautiful.
