I enjoyed Day of the Jackal. Easy watch, nowt spesh but yeah watchable.

I've tried Lioness, Bad Monkey and this series about a bloke who ended up in an alternate universe...apparently he was replaced by his alternate self. Anyway I canned them all after one or two episodes.

I need summat decent to watch. If anyone wants shite recommendations...I'm your an.

Have you watched things like the Gentlemen (both tv show and the movie...assuming you like Guy Ritchie levels of violence and ridiculousness), the Bodyguard (with Robb Stark in it), the Diplomat? All on Netflix. Or the Night Manager (Amazon)?

Landman - Started really strong but sadly it has devolved into a family soap opera and the oil business/cartel problem has become a background to the wife and daughter volunteering with the elderly? :lol: This is my first Sheridan show so maybe this is normal for him but I sure hope they pull off an amazing final episode and set up season 2 nicely

Very much so. Good first episode, then strong downhill as he has no interest or clue how to continue. Yellowstone is pretty good, albeit over-rated. 1923/1883 are fine also. Would not bother with any of the others.

Bad Monkey, the new show from Bill Lawrence (Scrubs), starring Vince Vaughan and Michelle Monaghan, has started strongly. Part comedy, part murder-mystery set in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. The dialogue and cinematography are at times reminiscent of The White Lotus but it's more comedically leaning than that show. Streaming on ATV+.

I also felt the same. Looked like an AI came up with the premise.

The Vince Vaughan schtick is alive and well but elevated by Lawrence's script. And there's plenty to enjoy from the ensemble cast.

Been watching/struggling through this with the family. I think Season 1 could have been an enjoyable 2 hour movie , albeit not a very original one. It has definitely overstayed its welcome by episode 7, where we are currently mired. What cool Easter egg is that Zach Braff plays a scumbag doctor in this, like this is where his character from Scrubs ended up. That’s about as clever as it gets though.

I like Vince Vaughn. He’s very charismatic and I find him funny. I also like Bonnie. Everyone else? No. Nick and Eve Shitdicker, the guy who cuts his arm off and his blonde wife, are good for about 20 minutes of screen time but they keep… coming… back. Egg and Dragon Queen and Neville… just oy vey! His police partner is gay (zOMG) and they must think this is some wild and crazy shit to portray, and maybe it was when the book was written, but it’s just irrelevant. He also sucks.

The best scenes so far have been the repartee between Vaughn and the restaurant guy, we genuinely laughed aloud at that.

And the wall to fecking wall narration that doesn’t give a moment’s pause is excruciating. At times they narrate what’s in the character’s thoughts but other times they narrate what you’re seeing with your own eyes like they think you’re listening to it on the radio.

Also feck that disgusting monkey.
 
I reckon Vince Vaughn could be a decent actor if he took more serious roles.. I'm really tired of his comedic stuff

I know True Detective was a disaster but it was an awful role for him
