Popular Post johnnybangkok 5,144 Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 Been putting it off for months (don't know why, just didn't fancy it) but eventually watched Parasite at the weekend.....what a great film! Truly deserving of the 2020 Oscar. Can't recommend it enough. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Paiman 1,834 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 A TV show I enjoyed was Snowfall. First Season 2017, hopefully soon Season 4. American made. About a family wanting to make money selling cocaine. Also a CIA man gets involved. Interesting twists. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stouricks 2,533 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Season 2 of LIAR on ITV is good, except that in Ep 2, ad break 3 there were NINE consecutive hybrid car ads, three of them from Lexus, 2 for Citroen and 2 for Volvo (who are using Born to Be Wild as their song). Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
