Good show and hoping for a strong ending

Netflix:  Bad Blood  Another I'm late to the party show.  It's two seasons, not sure if it's cancelled or not.  But it's a pretty solid two seasons.  A ganster movie set in Canada.  Pretty bloody.  Pretty gangster.  A good one if you like that sort of show.

Correct on 2 points:

1. It's pretty good.

2. You're late to the party.

So I watched thirst two episodes of Condor tonight, and even though it clearly says the first two seasons are included with Prime, I can’t watch any more episodes unless I sign up for a trial with Epix. Not happy about this development.

Finished both seasons of Jack Ryan. S1>S2. S2 wasn’t quite as creative and seemed to settle into too much formula stuff.

Was disappointed that Cathy was missing from S2, especially since she had an important role in one of the books. Plus, the actress who played her was pretty hot.

 

That's what Amazon does to often

Some of the shows that @Lou recommends I can't get without Britbox or other add ons

It's to the point now, that if it's on Amazon.  I'll go to the last episode of the latest season just to make sure it's still part of prime.  It's up there in annoying levels to their movies that have commercials in it.  And it's not just one or two commercials, but what seems like a full network 5 minutes of commercials.

@Tank I am worried about your short term memory.  I clearly warned you about this trap two days ago.

I think you have to give it more time.

You did, but below the graphic for the show it says seasons 1 & 2 included for Prime members. It says the same thing for Bosch, The Fall, Unforgotten, etc and I was able to watch those all the way through. Figured it would be likewise for Condor.

I’ll likely watch it to the bitter next but I’m really not enjoying it. The time travel thing is weird, and I’m constantly annoyed whenever Mobius speaks because he talks at the absolute lowest volume a human can speak.

The Victim 2019 a BBC production so you might get it on Britbox or online.

Wow, highly recommend this. High quality four-part British drama with a final episode that has some of finest acting I've seen in a while. Powerful, gripping stuff and a real tearjerker. The final episode really elevates the whole piece to another level. Top TV.

[Tank]

Watched E1 of River. Anyone else watched it yet? Thoughts?
 

It moved a bit slow for me. Not sure I’m up for watching another aloof detective who doesn’t play well with others.

I'll check and see if I get that without Britbox

I finished Whtiechappel this morning. The final season was too macabre for me. It also feels like the series is incomplete by not wrapping up some of the story lines.

Pretty gory last season

[Redondo]

Finished S1 of Grantchester

It's okay after you get to know the characters 

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Sweet Tooth.   So this one is based on a DC comic.  Story of all things, is a pandemic that kills people, and all new babies are hybrid human/animals.  I went in with no expectations, especially after I saw it was from DC.  I can say that I was pleasantly surprised.  This isn't a superhero movie, and more of a comic story.  But definitely a well told one.   It's one I would recommend.

Thanks…I was wondering about this. It’s on Amazon Prime with a BritBox subscription.

Yeah I looked it up yesterday and Britbox is needed

Anyone have Britbox?

Looked like they had a 40% off deal so only $39.99 for first year

That's a bargain if you like British TV. Lots of quality stuff on Britbox including some really interesting three and four part true crime dramas - Manhunt, Des, and Appropriate Adult are excellent dramas after you've watched The Victim. Between @Lou and I, you should get your money's worth.

EDIT: Brilliant performance from The Wire's 'McNulty' in Appropriate Adult - he plays a serial murderer with a subnormal IQ and completely nails it.
