I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I downloaded all of season 1 (I think from Pirate Bay), no problem.
As a "SKY Subscriber" you should be able to watch "on demand" as you can do so with the likes of Amazon or Disney+ for example. I'm with BT so don't get "on demand" - yep, I can download from the likes of Pirate Bay though...

Thought you were a fully fledged SKY man DM?

No, just Sky Sports via Now TV, and only because it was a special offer!

Has anyone watched this? I'm just about to give it a try.
Have literally just seen an advert/for it and have downloaded - 3 Seasons already :roll: Looks good and I'm certainly going to give it a watch. Unfortunately, I have the "cheap" version of SKY Channels, so can only view in "real time" i.e. can't watch as a boxset/on demand (hence the download).

Been around for a while obviously (Season 3), but hadn't heard of it previously - sounds good though.

:cheers: :cheers:
I have a problem with this, having watched the first few episodes. I find the story line intriguing (I like my sci-fi), but some of the writing is poor and some of the acting is awful. BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!! :banghead:

Downloading the pilot now, hope its a keeper as I'm pretty much out of binge-worthy series now.

I've never had any luck with eztv. Could someone walk me through it?

You mean with downloading? It's pretty straightforward, just search and click. But I usually start with Pirate Bay these days.

OOps :oops: yes downloading. Pirate Bay is also my go to but if they don't have what I want I looked at EZ since it sounds like many people here use it.

I tried it today and clicked the download button. It kept sending me to spam. I'm used to it once, or twice, but it did it 7-8 times before I gave up.

What URL do you use? :cheers:

Migrant, do you have your ad-blocker switched on? I've just tried something using https://eztv.re/, and there was no spam/ads whatsoever.

The ad blocker is off but I was going to a different site, that is probably why. Thanks!!

Big shout out for Dr Death, based on a true story.

As patients entering the operating room of Dr. Christopher Duntsch for routine spinal surgeries start leaving permanently maimed or dead, two fellow surgeons and a young Assistant District Attorney set out to stop him.

Solid cast,inc. Alec Baldwin and Christopher Slater.

5 star keeper. :cheers:

Lupin
Netflix

"A retelling of the classic French story about Arsène Lupin, the world-famous gentleman thief and master of disguise."

In French with subtitles, but don't let that put you off. Well worth a look

Since there is a dearth of sci-fi, I've started Spartacus again (which was mentioned in the first post of this epic thread) and by the cock of Jupiter, it is still good.

I'm amazed Netflix in the censorship-riddled land of puritanical Thailand actually shows this production in all of its glory.

Completely forgotten that one - might just re-watch that myself. Little too much of the male genitalia for my liking, but was a seriously good show.

I've been umming and ahing about this one - as you say, subtitles.... Don't need my glasses to watch TV, but do need them for the bloody subtitles! :banghead: As I've enjoyed a few you've recommended, I'll give it a go!!
