TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

Am new to this thread, so maybe covered, but how many series actually portray something almost like reality? Not very many, IMHO. Ones that do, Hill Street Blues,The Bill (earlier episodes), Fauda, and Narcos.

Nope, Countdown.

Just started - Day of the Jackal - Binge
Good
And factoid - today is 35 years since the Berlin Wall came down

Half way through and love it — Eddie Redmayne brilliant as the totally forgettable looking everyman assassin.
And the soundtrack is so cool as are the locations…well worth watching

Finished Slow Horses last night and already hanging out for the next season! Unsure what's next on my playlist, but I'm sure there are plenty of things on my watchlist that I'm yet to get around to watching.

Sorry, didn't mention it as plenty of AFFers have already waxed lyrical in previous posts. It's on Apple TV+.

I just watched Plane on Netflix.

Pull Up! Terrain! Pull Up! Terrain!

Avoid this film like the plague. Anyone with a modicum of flying knowledge will find it laughable. For example, when the plane hits turbulence the captain goes back to check on the passengers.

You have been warned.

I disagree

Yes, it is far-fetched/non-sensical. A jet lands on a dirt road on an island, and later manages to also takeoff from this? Clearly ridiculous.

But as much as I am sick of the main actor (Gerard Butler) I thought it was Ok as a light action time-filler....

Maybe it’s an action/thriller in the same sense as Schwarzenegger’s Commando was an action/thriller? That is to say that it’s actually a comedy
