So let's see....
1) The completely made up adventures of Dick Turpin (Prime)
Stars Noel Fielding.
Dick Turpin is a legendary British motorway robber, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of rogues, he sets out on new adventures, all while trying to escape the clutches of a thief-taker.
RT 84%
1 season only. I like Noel, which helps with the series.
funny enough, quirky enough, great hair enough to have kept me entertained over the one season.

2) Lioness (Netflix)
Rating: 75 to 80%
A spy thriller that follows the leader of undercover CIA operations on the war on terror by enlisting female operatives that are known as Lionesses.
Lots of action. I liked it.
3) Roadhouse 2024 (Prime)
Rating 60% - Awww that's kinda harsh.
Need something to fill your head with over the top silliness for 2 hours - give this a whirl.
Obviously a similar plotline to the original but with a lot more swearing and over the top shenanigans thanks to Connor McGregor.
Now I probably wont watch it again, but glad I watched it once.
go Manly!
Road House (2024) ⭐ 6.2 | Action, Drama, Thriller

Note to self, don't post in thread immediately before a game. It'll rarely be read and if Manly lose, it'll never be read. lol
I think Andor is the best thing in the whole Star Wars universe...... loved it.
It was very, very good.
Agree though I loved The Mandalorian because I'm a sucker for Grogu
Just watched the first episode. Strong start!
I liked it when the mechanic found out it's name was grogu and she said "Ugh, that's terrible, I'm not calling you that."
lol
I'll post more later (lucky you guys) but I started watching Rogue Heroes yesterday and it's very....very good!
GET INTO IT.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life. - quote borrowed from 'Black Books' - a funny comedy.
And repeat after me: "We'll never question @Uk eagle 's suggestions again."

Haha, my wife would disagree with you
Billy The Kid, currently showing on Stan. Good handling of the story and characters. Fantastically shot, wardrobed and with their locations. I believe at least some of the production team might have been with the Vikings team, and it shows.

Just another plodder
Just finished watching The Åre Murders (Swedish) on Netflix. 5 part series.
Also recently watched La Palma on Netflix. Thought both were good.
Appreciate the tips above. Have a bit of flying ahead of me this month and looking to download something to kill time.
I know that FUBAR season 2 is available from 12th June.

That's good to know. I thought it'd been cancelled as there were just no new episodes 'over here' for ages.
I've watched The Åre Murders and La Palma (no surprise) but I'm a tad surprised that RT has La Palma at 100%. It was good...but not 100% good (I thought).
I've yet to pull the trigger on fubar...I don't know why.
Rogue Heroes.
They can not leave it at just 2 seasons. Or I'll get them!
It's a really good series. I thought it may be just episode after episode of blokes doing alpha male tough things, but it isn't.
I also get twitchy if modern music is set to older film eras. Like Ac/dc set in roman times (eg) but they do this and it fits. I also get the same twitch when stories around Tobruk are portrayed on TV as invariably the Australian effort is minimised. But it's rogue Heroes, not the Rats of Tobruk.
I did feel like the take the viewers along from the jokey, blokey start full of irreverence of authority, whilst also showing the frustration of English officers only receiving their rank from having the proper title, or connections.
As the series evolves and 'the men' are sent on mission after mission, we're drawn into the realities of war. The jokes become fewer as the body counts rise, in an era where PTSD wasn't a recognised thing.
So plenty of action, couple with plenty of insights along the emotional fighting person's journey.
This is more than I've written of any series, so I'm going to get a coffee.

Don't worry, there's going to be a third (and final) series
No sugar for YOU! Milk only.
Thank goodness! I mean...I know how the war ended 'n stuff. But I didn't want to have to go all Paddy Mayne (or Reg...or Jock) if they cancelled the series.
