Hey Daz - Elaine and I used to enjoy that Early Edition show back when it first aired

Gawd, now yer gonna get me started on TV shows I have enjoyed. Is this a Kiwi plot to undermine the Australian work ethic? (Yeah, right, I am retired )

Thanks Nelson.

If you have a streaming TV box such as Amazon's Fire TV or Roku, etc. you can install the IMDB app and watch their programming from there. Free to watch with minimal commercial interruptions.

I just realized - I never thought to check and see if they have an app for PC.

 

[darry1966]

Well watched the New Years Dr Who special Resolution of the Daleks. Solid but hardly set the world on fire.

 

[Vrai]

If you like 'crime drama' or 'police procedural' type shows and suspense I found these two mini-series to be very good.
Gillian Anderson in "The Fall" is excellent and does a wonderful job acting. The whole cast is very good.
The Fall

The Killing is another good one. Rather "moody" but very well acted and directed. Not the usual "fluff".
The Killing

 

[wizardfromoz]

Dr Who special Resolution of the Daleks

Was it resolution, I thought it was revolution?

But I have recorded it for later viewing, so don't tell me any of the plot

 

[KGIII]

1. Mysteries of the Abandoned.
2. Drugs Inc.
3. Locked up Abroad.
4. Secrets of the Underground.
5. Modern Marvels.
6. Engineering Disasters.
7. How It's Made.
8. Gangland.

I like stuff that teaches me things.

Sorry Revolution of the Daleks - Resolution was the 2018/19 special.

I am currently watching the History Channel and it is showing Rise of Empires: Ottoman, and it's 3 episodes tonight and another 3 episodes tomorrow night. Though it's just starting, it's pretty good - so far.

Nobody will catch this in time to watch it, but there are probably torrents out there.

 

[wizardfromoz]

When I was a kid we used to have an Ottoman, it was very comfortable to sit on.

Oh, you're talking the Turks.

(warped Australian sense of humour... think Robin Williams DownUnder)
