Hi all,

I watched a German single series some time ago, which kept me on the edge of my seat,
Deutschland 83
Thoroughly enjoyed that about Spy’s of all things in the Cold War.

For comedy if it can still be found,
Chelmsford 1 2 3
I remember it being very amusing.

But then for the America stuff,
Dexter
Great, until the last series when the writers strike hit and it was ruined. So if you do watch it, omit the last series.....

You tube has had some great stuff, recently been watching some lads who have a white Capri they got/found from the side of the road by the looks, got it running then set to sanding it back to bear metal, only been 4 episodes so far but great entertainment. Channel is, ‘The 70’s Garage’.

Anyhow, a few suggestions to help through these weird times.... enjoy and stay safe,

John...

@ Taff50ish I watched Deutschland 83 as well when it was first shown, well worth watching I agree.

We have just finished season 3 of Gomorrah and it is very good. It’s pretty dark and very few if any of the characters are likeable which makes it quite unusual and bit a unsettling; you get to know the characters but they aren’t very nice to put it mildly. I think what adds to it is it’s very gritty and unglamorous which only adds to the realism. Apparently the original ‘Gomorrah’ is a book about the real Cammora and the author has been in hiding ever since it was released!

Deutschland 83 was good as was the follow up series Deutschland 86. Cant wait for the Deutschland 89 which has been made and will show sometime this year.

rewatching Ashes to Ashes again. Never get tired of the wit and wisdom of Gene Hunt.

I was watching twin turbos till that went dead and no more episodes came out so it seems.

Still game is coming back on 15th, if you ain't seen it, worth watching on Netflix.
