Lowlife, a good documentary worth watching is called 'Ice Guardians' from 2016. It used to be on Netflix (might still be there)

Just finished Faceoff - Inside the NHL.

Really good viewing, and I know not much about Ice Hockey. Those guys are completely mental.

I just finished 'The English' (Emily Blunt). Pretty enjoyable on the whole, nicely filmed...it felt a bit like watching an old 60's Panavision western.

Apologies. I know it's not a box set but didn't know where else to put this. Recent You Tube documentary tribute to the late Dylan Tombides.

Yes Tulsa King, of course. I'm nearly as old as Stallone and Delaney so such lapses are to be expected!

Dana Delaney is 68 (so 66 maybe when it was filmed) and still has a surprisingly nice arse and remarkably good legs.
Tulsa King?

Yep, decent isn't it.

You do have to wonder about someone who admits something is pretty crap but then still maintains it's 'worth a watch', as if it's 30 minutes long and not the best part of 10 hours. mental.

Manuel,

I wonder at someone who is a thick cսnt and doesn't understand English. Where did I say it was crap? I just said drawn out which you can say about just about all serioes these days. 

Any way you are not in a position to critises anyone after what one of the mods told me about you..haha

It's not actually worth anyone's time watching. Gave up after 4 episodes, how on earth it got dragged out to 10 episodes. I'll never understand. One poor cսnt in work  has endured 9 episodes despite admitting it is crap.

What is it in Slow Horses that when a colleague is murdered it's generally greeted with just a shrug of the shoulders or even a quip, edginess gone way too far. It is still decent compared to some other stuff, but suspect series 5 will be the last one.

I'm 4 episodes in and am loving Fight Night: Million Dollar Heist.  Great cast, Don Cheadle, Samuel L Jackson, Kevin Hart amongst others.  A dramatized account of what went on around the Quarry v Ali fight back in the 70's.  Superb stuff!  Do yourselves a favour and watch it!

The Penguin is superb so far, Farrell is outstanding.
​​​​​​Very different from what I was expecting.
I didn't realise this is the  work of Matt Reeves.
I havent seen his version of Batman ,  apparently his Batman version will be a trilogy and will tie in with the Penguin 
 
Reeves' version of Batman is VERY good imo. Far darker than Nolans, which I also rate highly.
Yea I agree Mary.
Nolan's trilogy was very good..(the second was the best imo).
this Reeves fella is playing a blinder so far , I'm impressed
