I am watching it now myself. As you mentioned,NOBODY does this sort of thing better than the Brits.

BTW,in case you haven't seen it,"MI-5" is one of the best spy series ever produced.

Foyle's War,a crime series about a detective in London during WW-2 is also first-rate.

We enjoyed Foyle's War immensely when we watched it a few years back. At some point we'll get around to MI-5.

Amazon has this movie, 'Breach', with Bruce Willis. Avoid. It's really bad.

Now starting Season 4 of GOT. I see why all the hoopla. Pretty intense.

@catfish1957

I normally HATE "fantasy sci-fi",and only decided to watch episode 1,season 1 because I had nothing else to do at the time,and wanted to see what all the ranting was about. Ended up watching the whole damn season without stop,and was hooked.

Even caught myself cheering for the damn dragons when they showed up later on.

I would have been willing to bet money that wouldn't have happened as I turned it on.

Midway (2019). Great movie.

just finished the last season of Babylon Berlin. There is a fifth season coming soon. Great series, but did not enjoy as much as A French Village and Peaky Blinders.

I rarely watch movies anymore, but I watched Erin Brockovich while at the hospital. (I've seen it a couple of times now).

A good series to binge watch!

Last night, watched "Deluge", a 1933 disaster movie.
You can watch it (or download it) here:
https://archive.org/details/Deluge_1933
(one hour, 6 minutes)
Modestly primitive considering when it was made, but still interesting.

Tonight, will watch "No Blade Of Grass", a 1970 British/American production about a plague that wipes out London.

Given your mindset,may I suggest "Tombstone"?

The series,not the movie.

Didn't even know there was a series... Unless you are talking about the 50s B&W one...

A French Village (Un Village Francais) might be the best TV series I have seen since The Sopranos. It takes place over the course of several years in which the Germans occupied France during WW2. The first 5 seasons were phenomenal. I thought the last two seasons were uneven. There are 72 episodes in all, so it will keep you busy for quite a while.

Thanks,I will take note of it and watch it when I get done watching Fantom Works. There are 8 seasons to watch. A guy starts up a hot rod/restoration shop and it doesn't seem to have any of the manufactured drama most of the shows of this type seem to thrive on.

In tonight's episode they start work on a 1951 Studebaker pu,and a 1965 Mustang. They also take in a 1926 Velie that hasn't even been started in 50 years to see what it needs to give the owner an estimate.

Vergette and I have been watching Outlander on Netflix. Great story so far,partway into season 2.
An English woman is transported from 1945 the 1700s in Scotland, prior to the Jacobite revolution.
She was a nurse during the was and is acting a a healer during that time period.

Hmmm, may need to re-subscribe to Netshits. I'm currently milking HBOMax for all their good content, then will drop them.

Last night I watched "No Blade of Grass". a 1970 British film produced and directed by Cornell Wilde.

The theme was environmental destruction (fueled by pollution, etc.) which resulted in some kind of plague which was poisoning the worlds' food supplies (grain, etc.).

It involves an architect and his family who flee a collapsing London and head north towards his brother's farm, and the troubles they encounter on the trip thereto.

If you can get past the "man is totally polluting the world" part of it, it was actually quite good and pulled no punches.

I don't know how successfully this can be found through normal channels.
But it CAN be found here:
