The more I think about The Gentlemen the better I liked it. Set up for a good second season at the very least!

This is a niche one... and not really a recommendation as such unless you're a x-men nerd like i am but when i was a kid, i used to love watching the X-men annimated series in the mornings before school. I have great memories of sitting around with my Dad and watching it together.
New animated X-Men 97 series just released it's first two eps on Disney, it picks up immediately from where the series left off. My kids and i watched the old series together via Disney a few years ago, and last night i got to sit with them and watch the eps with them. Was really cool to have it come full circle now.

As for the series itself... i really liked it, but it has to be REALLLY bad for me to dislike anything X-Men. So if you love that **** like i do, give a whirl :lol:

I’m dying to watch X-Men 97. It was my gateway to the X-Men story thanks to Cheez TV.

I’m planning to bank them up and potentially use them as my FuiBub feeding / burping show
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

Yeah nice, I didn’t realise the OG series was on Disney + either, so I’ll add them to the burping list

I’m really enjoying Mr Bates v the Post Office. An excellent British dramatised true story on 7 plus. Reminds me of Robodebt.

The streaming service plethora of adverts are ridiculous however.

Wife and i finished off watching Baby Reindeer last night on Netflix, its a quick binge! We got through it in a few nights. 7 eps of about 30 minutes each.
We both really enjoyed it. Excellent writing and acting. Particularly the women who played Martha, she was awesome.

Very popular binge at the moment but very much worth your time for a pretty small time investment.

Been close to starting this recently but have been burnt by some overhyped shows in the past (Beef I’m looking at you!).

Might have to give it a watch.

It starts a little slow, i spent the first 2-3 eps not sure what it was trying to do and had some pretty dark moments particularly a real mid season WOW gut punch, but worth watching. :thumbsup
