@roninwc Paramount pulled their launch in NZ. Apparently Sky NZ purchased all Paramount's content but have chosen not to show it.

Sky seem to get into real tangles. In theory Neon should be a good platform as Sky have HBO, Paramount and often have the good 'non Amazon' stuff from Amazon. When things filter through they are often very good but Sky seem to hold some stuff in reserve for the traditional subscribers.

Severance (Apple TV)
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.3 episodes into this 9 episode series, and really enjoying it. Sort of a cross between Terry Gilliam's Brazil and something out of a Kafka novel. Lots of the 1960's Prisoner tv show vibes. Storytelling is slow, but well paced, progressively world building in more detail each episode.
Despite Adam Scott playing the main character, this is not a comedy - its a mystery/thriller. John Turturro and Christopher Walken are great.

Yeah, many shows are available on Neon or Sky Go before they appear on SoHo. The latter channel only broadcasts shows weekly so if you want to binge you are out of luck. And Neon remains only 2 ch.

@tim I'm quite interested in the Ipcress File as I was a great fan of the Deighton books. Whilst I liked the Harry Palmer adaptations made in the 60's they were still a little unsatisfying having read the books and I think that they're better suited to a mini series. As an aside did you watch the TV adaptation of Game, Set and Match back in the 80's with Bilbo Baggins?

I watched it about 5 years ago, and enjoyed it quite a lot.

Pieces of her. Mini series based on a Karin Slaughter novel. The unraveling of a Mother’s hidden past by her daughter.
I’m a little conflicted on this one. The story was enough to keep me watching all the way through but what I struggled with was there was not a single character that you warmed to. Mother played by the odd looking but still kind of attractive Toni Collette was just an annoying, self satisfied cow. Daughter was also odd looking but still attractive and just ineffectual. Gendry played the main antagonist with little magnetism.
All in all it was watchable but you kinda felt ashamed for feeling that way.
No tits.
3 where is this going nexts out of 5 shut the fuck up you stupid bitches.

The annoying characters took it down at least a point for me. Was there one that you felt empathy with?

Borderline!

Our Flag Means Death - Pirate thing apparently a comedy.
I love Taika's sense of humour but Rhys fucking Darby? Why?
Half an episode in and I have ditched it. Darby is unwatchable.
I can't believe this guy has made a successful career overseas. Is there something that non NZers find funny about him that is just pure cringe to us?

He's about as funny as Leigh Hart so it can't be that.
Definitely is then. Old grumpy fluffybunnies don't like it? Funny

Just finished season 4 of The Last Kingdom - had no idea they were going beyond s3 tbh
It's a good watch. Kind of like Vikings-lite and I started it years ago because of the Bernard Cornwell books.
Season 5 dropping next week I'm told by Google
Been watching Season 5 and am 6 episodes in. Not bad and the fighting scenes remain pretty good. A few quibbles though. The CGI for the wider shots is laughable in some cases and the dialogue is often quite clunky. It seems to me that the further they stray from the source material the poorer the storyline becomes and they add unnecessary dialogue to explain what is going on. Disappointing but I will persevere.
