Always on the lookout for something a bit left of center. Suggestions?

"The Peanut Butter Falcon" was pretty good.

Myscreename you are an odd dude. I posted that i really liked a doco and that id never heard the music before and we had a thread about it.
You"ve since mentioned it quite a lot of times like its some massive burn or running joke.
Even made that AI image. I think you're trying to be clever or witty like carantoc but i just dont think you have the talent. Also i dont know if u have a thing about me. I dont visit or post that often anymore. Your username is a lot like mine and i seem to evoke responses from you..

Have you watched "Occupied"? Norwegian political thriller 24 eps
In the same vein on SBS there is Red Election, and if you don't mind reading your television, Blackout, which has 2 versions, German or Belgian which are very different stories. The German one was better
Or Norsemen, if you feel in the mood to send up Vikings

I think it's Prime, but Patriot is one of my favourite recent shows. Not many things make me laugh out loud but that is fantastic. 2 seasons with a perfect finish.

Also if you haven't watched The Alpinist, stop what you're doing and watch that right now.

Thanks CT, not remotely interested in climbing but a great no BS movie.
Anything that leaves me evaluating my own existence is worth my time.
Any of us who can experience contentment in solitude will relate to this guy.

What's everyone else do for a rush?

So, can I assume from his reaction that the Sussex records guy was collecting royalties all those years from South Africa and not passing any of it on to Sixto? Scum bag!

Mr Imbetweener was a great Aussie series, might be on Binge though, Binge is pretty good has some great series.
There's also a good series about a guy running a restaurant in New York, can't remember the name now, i'll have a look, I just remembered it is called The Bear, that is a very good series, might not be on Netflix though

There's a new series on Netflix called Kaleidoscope. Kind of crime caper/comedy with strong hints of the BBC series Hustle from a few years ago. Its particular selling point is that it gives you episodes in random order.
Anybody else watching it want to compare notes to check that?

not on Netflix but The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young is a great docco
Available on google play

I can also recommend The Bridge if you are into a Nordic Noir (plus the lead character is "quirky"). All seasons still available on SBS On Demand for free

Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton. Absolute classic series and the role is made for Billy Bob.
