did I mention that I have watched it?
The Golden Hour
Six part series, terrorist attacks in Amsterdam
I enjoyed that!
Last night I watched The greatest night of pop on Netflix.
It’s an 80s documentary about the planning, rehearsal and recording of USA for Africa ~ We are the World.
What a nostalgic experience! If you love the 80s era then it’s a definite must watch!
Those were the good old days. Some of the artists have since passed on.
I have started watching “The Defeated” on Netflix. It takes place in Berlin in the immediate aftermath of the war and the divided city. I wasn’t sure I would like it at first after abandoning a few less than interesting series but am quite involved now, there’s murder, espionage, prostitution and total devastation.
I’m on season 2 of “13 reasons why”. I love teen dramas. Probably my mental age…

No I don’t think so, it has German and Russian with subtitles and UK accents too.
However I have watched dubbed series on Netflix eg Gone for Good and found them perfectly watchable even with my native British xenophobia, there’s even a Polish one on my list which has obviously been dubbed by pommies (haven’t watched it yet).

As I am getting near the end of The Defeated I thought I would have a look for another limited series and came across One Day. I have only watched one episode but it looks promising.
@AnnieS - lots of pommie accents, no dubbing

If you need a lighthearted film to take up the odd 80 minutes or so you could do a lot worse than “The Breaker Upperers”. It’s a Kiwi film, but a lot of fun.
I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I had started watching “One Day”.
I am already on the final episode. It is an absolutely brilliant series, couldn’t recommend it enough. Only half hour episodes but incredibly watchable I ended up watching a couple each day.

Falling for Figari - Netflix
A delightful tale with good music and handsome men
Am watching “Operation Buffalo” , it’s a six part series based on the Maralinga atomic bomb tests in the 1950s (apparently Yorkshire was double booked that week).
There is espionage, murder, dirty tricks, government incompetence and so much more. and quite enjoying it. 55 minute episodes.
I just watched a film on Netflix that I enjoyed very much. An emotional roller coaster starring Billy Crystal as a stage writer with dementia.
Here Today
I am at a loss at the moment as I have just finished a couple of series that I was watching.
3 Body Problem which was pretty good and…
Working’ Mums which I enjoyed far more than I expected
I tried a series called Thursday’s Widows but couldn’t get into that all so am looking for a series to watch. Actually preferably two series, one, a time filler 20 to 30 minute episodes and perhaps a limited series with hour(ish) long episodes.
I’ve seen “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, 1999 film, but this new, neo-noir, black & white, 8 part series is something else. Called simply “Ripley”.
was trying to post a trailer, but I think I’m being penalised for derailing one the boss’s posts.
If and when I renew my subscription, I want to see the Three Body Problem series, although I’m not entirely sure what’s it about, I do like good science fiction.
I recently watched Fool Me Once, with Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley, both being foul mouthed to each other. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but spoilt my viewing by Googling the series so knew how it ended,
Both really good series, enjoyed them very much.
