Far North on Paramount.
Limited series, I think it was 6 eps. Binged it in one sitting. Highly recommended.

Based on a true story relating to a massive drug deal in NZ.

It is giving me a good laugh.

I watched Bodies, I like a time travel story.

On Prime I came across "The Power". I found it an interesting concept, the New USA speaker would it consider it a horror show, seriously his worst nightmare.

That's Prime not Paramount. Man in the High Castle probably has the worst ending of any show I've seen, especially of one that was decent until the ending.

I had Paramount for a year and watched three shows, admittedly that was in their first year and they didn't seem to have much.

Prime is probably the most annoying of the streamers, it's largely impossible to find decent stuff outside of the new promoted stuff unless you already know about it. And their updating of the platform made it worse. I got so annoyed with them the other day that I decided to cancel the next month but then remember I'd paid a heavily discounted annual fee anyway.

Prime is subscription postage with streaming video on the side for me.

Cannot argue that, so many shows that have a good premise, that make you think, then they kind of spoil it with a Shyte ending, Lost springs to mind.

But I was engaged for a while.

I didn't mind Lost's ending, it made some sense in relation to the narrative of the show, it just wasn't the ending fans wanted. I watched the final ep of High Castle with a couple of mates and whenever we have a few drinks we eventually get round to a what the f**ck was that discussion.

4 seasons and counting of this on Paramount +. If you like Star Trek, and shows taking the mickey out of itself, this is the show for you. I think it's an absolute hoot -

Not as much as Netflix, But worth a subscription. I've got Amazon Prime and you can sub in & out of Paramount through that pretty easily.

Go parmount + mainly to watch the new south park. Mrs not that keen on Far North so Ill watch it in my own time. We just watched Tulsa King with Sly Stallone. Really enjoyed it, doesnt take itself too seriously, good mix of action, drama, and laugh.

Obliterated on Netflix. Only 2 eps in, but it's good fun so far. Over the top, but it isn't trying not to be. Has boobs which is also a plus, and a bit of cock for the ladies.

Last Stop Larrimah. Not a happy story but gee we laughed. Bizarre group of characters in a tiny outback town and someone goes missing. True story

Love has Won on Binge. About a cult in the US. First episode was OK but second much better. Interesting to see delusions take hold and the way they can ignore things in front of them. Helped me understand a couple of characters from the 4C group much better

My parents grew up in country NSW so we'd head back twice a year, nowhere near as small as Larrimah but it brought back a lot of memories. Hopefully the town can come back.
