OMG, there's more.
It's almost like Ted Talks. After I get through all of these, I may finally qualify for QAnon membership.

I second this! Have one episode left on the first season, excellent so far!

I'll spare you the lengthy diatribe on why I utterly despise the "going to a movie" experience and just leave it at it's not my thing.
Last time I went to see a movie in a theater was Lincoln in 2012, and that was because I had free tickets. The last time I paid to see a a second run movie was Deep Impact back in 1998 at Cinema City - Northgate. And the last time I paid to see a first run movie in a theater was The Secret of my Success back in 1987 at Eaton Place!
Midnight Express for me - at the Garrick. Deep winter, -35, the couple we went with had their car towed.
Really enjoying the Irish series "Kin" which began in 2021. Story of a present day Dublin family tied up in a gangland war.

Where do you order Kin? I looked at all the serivices I subscribe to and it isn’t appearing on any of them?

We watched the finale to the first season last night and it was fantastic - can't wait to start Season 2. If you want to go the Syncler+/Firestick route, a cheap and effective way of accessing a TON of content not always available on the common streaming services, I'd be happy to help.

Up to episode 7 of Reacher season 2. Honestly, it's pretty terrible. The first season was good till the last 2 or 3 episodes at which point it tipped the balance too far to the stupid end of the scale. This season mostly has carried on in that same manner. The big fight scenes aren't very well plotted out at all. Also, the "special investigators" are mostly just annoying.

I think enjoying a movie depends on your expectations. The last one we saw -- as a couple, the wife sometimes goes out with friends -- was that last Indiana Jones movie about time travel. We didn't expect much and had a delightful afternoon, mostly laughing at the silly plot, the lovely cliched acting by Harrison Ford, and the cartoon villans. You head out with with managed expectation and you'll probably have a good time.

Watching The Lazarus Project on PrimeVideo via StackTV subscription. Decent show, watchable but not great. It's a time travel show so worth checking out if that's your thing but doesn't compare to other better time travel shows. The main character is annoying and unlikable unfortunately.
Been waiting for the season to finish to binge it all. Loved Season 1.

Now thirding this!
Thanks for the recommendations fellas this is one hell of a show. Should be way wider known. I'm already almost done S3 and am going to be sad when I finish.
If you like this style of TV, I'll recommend you try "Blue Lights" next. I won't say it's "as" good but, it's certainly very good. Uniformed police dealing with gang related issues in Northern Ireland. From the same source (Guardian) that rated HV as #3 of top 50 shows of 2023...

That was fantastic. There are so many great tv shows on Brit box. During Covid we must have watched 30 different tv series. I like how they develop characters and storylines without having to rely on special effects etc. just thoughtful shows.
Shetland as mentioned was one of my favorites, the fall is a little older but great, line of duty, broadchurch and Wallander was great too.
With my hearing I have to watch them with subtitles though
