Lupin season three review – Omar Sy is such a born action star, he could be the next Bond

The third series of this twisty, Parisian heist show is the boldest and bloodiest yet. It’s a taut, thrilling affair that cries out for a binge watch – not least due to its super-suave lead

How is season 2 going? I found season 1 to be very predictable, and don't think I finished it.

Things I have just watched / watching
Dear Child on Netflix. Very, creepy, dark German show. Loved it
Love and Death Google TV. True story, great cast and sets.
Stonehouse Britbox. For all the Matthew Macfadyen (Tom Wambsgans, Succession). Great sets, acting, unbelievable but true story.
Beckham on Netflix. Utterly absorbing doco directed by Fisher Stevens (Hugo from Succession). VB is actually a surprise package here.

I know zero about soccer but watched it over the weekend and it was terrific. Later read a review in the paper which said David Beckham had a hole in his heart the size of Alex Ferguson

 

[BriarFlyer]

I'm also loving Beckham, and agree than Posh is quite the surprise.

This enjoyable adaptation of the bestselling book sees Brie Larson as a chemistry genius battling 1950s sexism. It’s highly watchable, not least due to pruning the novel’s canine narrator
