Apparently the episodes were partly built around the songs chosen.

Couple of average bottles of wine, a steak & The Heart of the Sea.
Another Ripping Yarn starring Thor. Sorry Chris Hemsworth
Brutal in our enlightened times being about Whaling.
No spoilers but it is the true story of The Essex, a Nantucket Whaler which inspired Moby Dick.
Excellent

My word, Millie Bobby Brown is going to be special when she grows up.
She came to light/stole the show in Stranger Things.
She popped up this week in Enola Holmes. And steals the show.
A gently clever Sherlock twist, featuring Henry Cavill as Benedict Cumberbatch, and Mycroft being himself.
A really enjoyable story to share with the other half for a couple of hours.
Good fun old style stuff
Got as far as just after the whale sank the ship and had to give up - Chris Hemsworth sounded so like Ace Rimmer from Red Dwarf that it lost all credibility- It was quite good up to them tbh.

Considering it was a true story, what happened after that was kind of epic.
Sit Mrs CS down with Enola Holmes.
It was enjoyable fun

I was a great fan of Count Arthur Strong on R4 and came lateish to the tv version.
Just watched the first episode of S1 on Netflix, which I never saw - as as starter episode it beats the pants off most âgetting to know youâ episodes.

Spent a happy 2 hours on both your recommendation last night accompanied by a Ghost Ship or 3 ⌠
I agree with you both ⌠Good movie, Thor got right on my beak but it combined to a really good movie.
Top recommendation. SCD

Iâve been watching Wayne, a YouTube original. I donât want to spoil it too much, because itâs better going in cold, but Iâm really enjoying it.
There isnât a character I donât enjoy spending time with, and Iâm laughing my arse off throughout.
Also, last nightâs episode of The Boys was fantastic. A nipper who works with me has read the comics, so I was already spoiled on Stormfrontâs origins.
That wasnât even the best bit. Three of the team infiltrate a containment facility for Supes. Itâs bedlam, and itâs not over.
Enjoying this season more than the first. A lot of brilliant set pieces, action packed and amusing in equal measure. Anything involving The Deep ends up fucking hilarious.

I can echo those sentiments, after falling asleep watching Fridayâs epsiode last night (a few beers may have been supped) I have watched it againâŚenjoyed very much.
The Supe with the extending dick made me laugh out loud and shudder at that same timeâŚ
I will also recommend The Gentlemen. Itâs a Guy Ritchie gangster flick so you know what youâre in for.
I happen to really like Guy Ritchieâs gangster flicks. Itâs only really his Sherlock Holmes movies I donât like, and thatâs just because Downey Jr is hopelessly wrong for the role, just as I would be. Sherlock is not a fucking short-arse, let alone American.
In this one, youâve got Matthew McConaghy and Charlie Puttnam (Sons of Anarchy) as the leads, with an almost unrecognisable Hugh Grant in the role of unreliable narrator and blackmailer.
It also features a fucking excellent performance from Colin Farrell. I think it might be the best thing Iâve seen him do.

I really enjoyed it too. Hugh Grant was really good I thought, in a part that was the complete opposite of his usual roles. He surprised me, reminded me a bit of Michael Caine. I really like Richieâs Rock n Rolla, it got ignored by the critics but I loved it. Genuinely funny with a top performance from Tom Wilkinson.

Hugh Grant was so decent that with my bad eyesight, I kept thinking âwhenâs Hugh Grant joining in?â. Heâs in the first fucking scene. @SO5-4BW and @Fowllyd can tell their school mate Firth do up his game 
Since youâve gone on about him a bit, Iâll take the Farrell end.
I love him in this sort of backseat character actor role. Heâs not on screen as much, but steals every scene heâs in. I forgot that he was Colin Farrell pretty early on. His character was something of a trope; older bloke wise in the ways of the world shepherding a bunch of lovable fucking idiots. He elevated that a fair bit.
Overall, a very enjoyable movie that demands a rewatch.
The Ozark has been pretty excellent. As others have said, adjusting to Jason Bateman in a straight role is interesting but thereâs lots of intrigue and swerving going on.
Looking forward to the 2nd seasonâŚ

2nd season of Ozark.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Isnât that already out?
Yes Iâm on season 2. Going well.
Yeah turned to treacle mid season.
S3 has rave reviews just cant get there.
Itâs worse than 1st 5 Umbrella Academy to get through but the rewards are there.
Will go back to it one day when really bored!
