Netflix Recommendations

We have just watched the first series.
It's very good. More people should watch it, to understand why the Monarchy is like it is. And why it's important, even now.

Surprised you say that. It was hardly flattering to the royal family.

Quite the contrary; the royals came out of it pretty badly, both individually and collectively. Not necessarily unfairly either. A largely unpleasant, manipulative and dysfunctional lot, in my opinion, hell-bent on self preservation at any cost.

Yes mate I enjoyed it as well. Shame it got cancelled.

Technically not cancelled.

Feige is looking to introduce 'Matt Murdock/ Daredevil' into one of the 'Spidey' films, I think. So, a respawned spin-off may happen yet.

He may be the only character to survive the cull, mind.

Shame cos I liked Mike Colter as 'Luke Cage'. I thought he played him just right until the latter part of the last series when the writing went west.

Charlie Cox said it will never happen.

Charlie Cox said it will never happen.

He's going to say that.

Fiege is the exec and it's his creation, Cox has to bury the lead.

'Daredevil' is Fiege's favourite character from that genre, along with 'Punisher', so we'll see what happens.

Watched 2 episodes couldn’t hear a bloody thing so binned it. Checked the web and it was a common problem.

Try it with the subtitles on.

I said that to the Mrs - apart from being very posh no different to all our families.

I suppose it depends on what you want out of a Monarch or monarchy I guess. I agree that many of them are probably unpleasant (Andrew in particular, the horrible shit) and there are far too many on the gravy train. It needs stripping down.
However, I don't want a "Queen of Hearts" or some such nonsense. I want a King or Queen to just get on with the job in hand, keep their opinions to themselves and do their duty.
And I don't think anyone can say our current monarch hasn't done that.
Yes, she has a life of privilege but she is a constant in an ever changing world, with imesurable experience on the world stage and admired and respected all over the world.
That's not to be thrown away lightly in my opinion.
