Well since you can’t fish and well watching others fish ain’t my bag right now it was a fine chance to catch up with Netflix, etc.

So what are people watching?

I am getting grief from my mates back home in the Midlands but finally got around to Peaky Blinders. Gangs set in Birmingham just after WWI got to say it’s pretty awesome I am enjoying it more than the Sopranos, probably because I understand them more. Sam Neill is in the first series and does a great job. Well worth the watch and still got another three series to catch up on!

Love Peaky Blinders. Chernobyl was a recent watch, also very good, although maybe a bit too close to home for some at the moment!

Just wasted my time on two terrible movies, so avoid those!

- The Lighthouse - looked great in the trailer, but too intellectual/arty for it's own good. Nothing really happened. Spoiler, there is no big secret that gets revealed at the end. Just two blokes getting more and more pissed with a little unlikely homoeroticism thrown in for good measure.

- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - another movie that looked great, but wasn't. Nothing happened until the last 15 minutes of quite a long movie. The last 15 minutes were good, but not worth the leg work!

Yeah I loved Chernobyl another communist cock up story.

Missed 1917 was that on the cinema recently?

I have lived in NZ for 22 years and I thought that I sounded kiwi now. No not until I put my first fishing video up on Facebook I thought **** I still sound like The Midlands.

Actually watching far less than did before lock down.
Bit different routine.. Get up check  Fresh grounded expresso, check messages , servers, post here on PCs.
 Shower.. coffee read the news
 Set up for projects
Wife has decided we need a cooked brunch on the deck..
Get into a project
 look around notice getting dark
 Dinner
 Watch a couple shows, more catch up on demand, netfix  lightbox  bed.

 Even getting into loading a few pics for Skotis pic comp time just runs out..

Maybe its just this incredible weather we are having.. maybe cant get out fishing but still get outside in the sun..

 Will leave binge watching when things get back to normal.. weather that is.

I saw 1917 at the movies when it was out. My mate reckons it was the most boring movie he's seen. I enjoyed it, not up there with the best for me but certainly worth watching.

I watched Missouri Breaks for the first time the other night, it's an old western from the 70's with Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando. That was very cool. 

I watched some of The Tiger King of course. Quite funny but a bit too much like watching a strutting rooster. Well worth watching to see just how many whacko's there are in the world but 3 episodes was all I could handle.

not sure where it’s available these days but the best series ever in my view is The Wire.

I got round to watching Ford vs Ferrari the other night.  Yes, I know they left out the Kiwi drivers and tried to make it look like the GT40 was made in the USA and completely left out the Cobra from the story.  But it was still a good watch.

Was thinking about this thread last night.. watching the last of Thirteen.
Actually having trouble fining stuff the watch and hold interest.
 General rule of thumb , get to the 3rd eposodes then decide.. Some dont get past 2.. most past 20 mins.
A few got into over theyrs..
Handmaidens tale takes a few epsodes for the guys thu..
Mr Robot, just going thru the last series now.. watched that  after my open heart.. unusual.
The good doctor one.. srill have to get around to see the last series.. again took a few episodes to get into it.. still have to see the last series .. watched after my open heart .
 Vikings..bummer they finally .. spoil attert..
The escaba cocaine one
 Outlander  again takes a few episodes for guys to get into it  must get time to start watching the last series.
 Country calendar on  TVNZ on demand...stuff all ads.
 Breaking Bad .. saw that when 1st came out
 Broadchurch once get into it.
 Game of Thrones .. stiil have to see the last series.
 Blindspot.. gets to be the same old after a while
 Tin star still got get around to seeing the last series.

Thats a couple yrs or so of watching... at least.

Maybe have to  subscribe to neon or amazon to find something to watch soon.

 Oh having a go at the tiger king.. ppl keep telling me  "just got to get into it after a few episodes...having an issue watching real life ppl with 1/2 brain combined with American BS.
