Whiskey on the Rocks, a 6 30-minute episode Sweden-produced comedy based on the stranding of a Soviet submarine on the Swedish coast in 1981. Reminds me a bit of The Russians are Coming! The Russians are coming, a 1966 US movie with Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint, Alan Arkin, Theo Bikel. The dubbing is pretty bad but you can turn the sound off and read the captions. Available on Hulu/Disney.

Man vs Bee, a 2022 9-episode series with Rowan Atkinson as the hapless pet sitter.
All episodes are less than 30 minutes. (I look for short watches when Iām donating platelets.) On Netflix in the US.

Iām very late getting to it, but Iāve finally started watching Bones, and I really love it. David Boreanaz was my teenage crush, and heās just as great in Bones. Some of the crime scenes are a bit gruesome though - I canāt watch it while Iām eating!

Maybe itās already been mentioned but Severance on Apple is a great show. Season 2 is heating up!
Apple TV actually has a lot of good shows, so itās totally worth the subscription. Iāve watched Shrinking, Silo, Bad Sisters, Dark Matter, Disclaimer, Presumed Innocent, Bad Monkey, For All Mankind, and Foundation. All binge worthy if you havenāt watched. Currently on season 2
of Severance.
On Netflix, highly recommend 100 years of solitude. I read the book in Spanish many years ago and I would say this is pretty close and worth watching.

Weāve tried severance twice and given up, might have to try again @wendy_chicago and give Bad Monkey a whirl! See is an incredible series if youāre okay with blood & gore, Jason Momoa is excellent

RE: Severance can be a bit hard to get into at first because the story moves slow and is pretty weird, but trust me, it gets way better! Things really pick up once you start finding out about their outies and whatās happening in their lives outside.
Bad Monkey is very entertaining! Youāll enjoy it! Vince Vaughn is hilarious.
Iāll have to check out See!

Just saw Flow, a wonderful animated film featuring a black cat with yellow eyes (the protagonist), a capybara, a pack-rat lemur, and a very true-to-breed golden retriever. The world seems to be ending and the characters have to learn to live together on a small boat. All the animal sounds except the capybara are recorded by the animal pictured except the capybara, which didnāt sound right so they used camel. Sort of a pan-Europe production, but mainly Latvian. At theaters in the US now, and paid on AppleTV+.
And since Iām writing about 1 movie featuring a cat - another delightful film - a 2016 documentary about 7 cats in Istanbul. In the US, this is on kanopy, the free library film app linked to local public libraries.

@Happypets Season 6 of Unforgotten is finally out (yay!) so I am going to start watching this imminently.

The thread about border controls has reminded me of a film which I find really entertaining. Itās called Upon entry and itās in Netflix. Itās about a couple flying from Spain into the US and they are thoroughly questioned by immigration officers. The whole film evolves around that situation. You can identify lots of questions and situations referred to on the other thread but thereās also a lot of insight on human nature. The end is really surprising but, IMHO, totally justified.

Weve just finished watching series 6. I thought weād find it challenging to adapt to a new lead character but we soon got into it.
But, at the end of series 5, Sunny had just asked his girlfriend to marry him, yet now sheās vanished and thereās a new woman on the sceneā¦ with no explanation. Did I miss something?
Canāt find series 6 of Unforgotten @Happypets - where are you watching it? She Said with Carey Mulligan is superb, the two reporters - Kontor & Twohey - investigating for the New York Times who exposed Harvey Weinstein. Itās on Netflix, new addition I think as maybe 2021 film. #toptip
Itās on itvX: Unforgotten - Watch Episode - ITVX

@Newpetlover , we watched Upon Entry two nights ago. Itās not on Netflix in the US but I was able to find it on Tubi for free with ads. We were floored and Iāve recommended it to friends and family. We loved the Ambrose Bierce ending. Thanks so much for mentioning it here.

Thank you for the feedback. I love the ending too. It may not be everyoneās cup of tea but, for me, itās like watching two films in one.

Thanks for the recommendations! I saw that Flow was nominated for an Oscar but I wasnāt sure if I should watch it or not. The documentary also sounds interesting. 
Iām currently obsessed with Motherland:
Itās a great British comedy, Iām a bit late to the party because they already released a spin-off called Amandaland, but if you need a good laugh, this one is simply brilliant
Hi @Happypets
I am currently watching series 6 and I agree re Sunny, itās certainly confusing! 
We just started watching Bones also. David is on another show named Seal Team. I believe the show just ended after 6 or 7 seasons.
