I found Lara’s thread very useful and it was very popular so, as Lara hasn’t started a new thread I have.

Any suggestions on what to watch tonight gransnetters?

I don't think that's true. If you have Netflix you have Netflix and can watch what you want. However, I don't think The West Wing is on Netflix.

You can watch The West Wing on -I think - Netflix, but you have to buy the whole box set.

I have just watched 800 words. Someone on the Good Morning thread mentioned it and I was glad to see it on again.

I've been trying to find The West Wing on Channel 4 catch up but can't seem to find it?

I binge watched Queen's Gambit and enjoyed it thoroughly, would even watch it again - but not yet!

Two more episodes of Queen’s Gambit - only two left. I shall be sorry when I’ve finished it.

Thanks.....just started it and will need to ration myself I think.

I binged on Anne With an E - thankyou to all who recommended it!

Flicking around the channels last night I came across a film called The Take, about a rogue CIA agent (Idris Elba) who forms an unlikely partnership with a pickpocket (Richard Madden) to stop a terrorist conspiracy in Paris.

Slick, fast and almost believable, you can see why Idris Elba was in the frame to portray Bond.

I watched two further episodes of The Same Sky which sadly descended into farce. I maintain hopes of DNA. Has anyone watched any of Safe on C5? Just wondering whether to bother.

I'm glued to 'Riviera' on Sky Atlantic which I can access via NOW TV. Beautiful settings, houses, art and clothes-awful people doing dreadful things!

A fascinating documentary by John Pilger called The coming war on China.
Then for some light relief ( which you need after watching that) the programme on ABBA.

I'm watching the second series of “Liar” on ITV Hub which I’m enjoying. It was first aired more than two years ago, I think, so won’t be available for much longer.

Started watching Greenleaf on Netflix a couple of nights ago and we are completely hooked.
We have practically given up on regular TV only dipping in for the odd programme here and there.

Apostasy, a film about Jehovah's Witnesses, on BBC2. Very interesting.

I’m watching The Last Tycoon on Amazon Prime. Based on F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, it is set in Hollywood, then called Hollywoodland, during The Depression. The cast is very strong with Kelsey Grammer and Lily Collins in two of the lead roles. There are 9 episodes.

Recorded DNA, will watch Top Gear and Roadkill after dinner, then zzzzzzz

Portrait Artist of the Year. Enjoy most of it, but having had a classical art training, I fail to understand why some artists use a photograph. The model is there for goodness sake !!

Callistemon Sat 24-Oct-20 23:26:37

It was very good but rather anxiety-inducing.

BlueBelle Sat 24-Oct-20 23:20:16

I enjoyed DNA looking Forward to next week

suziewoozie Sat 24-Oct-20 23:16:03

Loved DNA and caught up on the Same Sky - also very promising

mokryna Sat 24-Oct-20 23:13:29

I quite liked DNA, not too violent and no swearing and a bit intriguing.

Callistemon Sat 24-Oct-20 22:55:20

We watched DNA but it didn't cheer us up at all!
