Peanut Butter Falcon was great. Wasn’t expecting it to be so good so it was a nice surprise.

TV wise I’m watching The Serpent at the moment and enjoying that. Agree the shifting backwards and forward in time is a bit jarring but soon settled into it. Dead Pixels on e4 is worth a watch too.
Films. Can recommend Rocks on Netflix. Pretty heartbreaking but also heartwarming. Also watched The NeverEnding Story on iPlayer last week. First time since I was a kid. Really stands up and all the bits that terrified me as a kid scared my daughter. Not sure how it is a U certificate. Decent soundtrack too.

They are quite an achievement.
films watched over the weekend
Greenland - disaster film on Prime. has Gerard Butler in it so thought it was going to be poo but was actually ok.
Always be my maybe - rom com on netflix, really enjoyed it. nice soundtrack and found it pretty funny.
I saw Mark Kermode’s review of Greenland so watched it because of that. I don’t think it was as good as he made it out to be but enjoyed it nonetheless
It’s one of the more gripping things I have watched in a while.
Started this over the weekend and it nearly sent my brain into recovery mode…

Panorama: Boxing and the Mob (BBC iPlayer)
Investigating the connections between top flight boxing and the Kinahan Irish drug cartel.
I find the situation in Ireland fascinating and tragic with the different gangs. The Kinahan gang are notoriously brutal and yet, are heavily involved in the mainstream boxing world.
Decent and informative documentary. Apparently those involved in the making of the film have received death threats from Kinahan associates in Northern Ireland.

He has no criminal record, his father and brother do i think so is supposed to be the Head of the cartel, always in the papers here and I don’t think he leaves UAE much and from my visits there that’s worse than any prison… Lol. The new Costa Del Crime maybe…

Soulmates on Amazon. 2 episodes in. Not quite Black Mirror but better than I expected.
Started watching The Night Stalker on Netflix.
Recently finished It’s A Sin which was brilliantly done.
Next on my list is Shane meadows’ new show The Virtues starring Stephen Graham
The virtues is a hard watch… The scenes in the bar and then when this song comes on

After blasting through the full series of the excellent ZeroZeroZero, I’m now watching Gomarrah.
Never seen it before, it’s superb.
