    Hi @M Anthony, 
                              Great suggestion with Lost, I started watching it when it first came out but I never saw the ending, that is definitely one I am going have to find. Thank you for making a great suggestion :)

    Hi @Chloe_Scope
                                   Unfortunately I haven't seen Designated Survivor and I don't have Netflix. Please may I ask what it is about and please let us know your thoughts on it. Thank you.

    Hi @April2018mom
                                    How are you and your family? Which Aladdin, the new one with Will Smith? If so, then no I haven't seen it, have you? What are your thoughts on it if you have? Thank you.

    My interest in it trailed off a bit towards the end of season 1 @Chloe_Scope, but that probably says more about my attention span than it does the show. :D 
    Haha thanks @Adrian_Scope! I'll let you know how I get on!
    Anyone watch Aladdin yet?
    Hi @April2018mom, do you mean the new one? I've seen it and thought it was great!

    Hi @WestHam06, it's about the president of America being killed in what appears to be a terror related incident. The Designated Survivor is some who is nominated to take over being the president if anything was to happen.

    So far it has just been the new president trying to figure out how to handle the crisis of a potential terror attack. Still only watched the first episode though!

    Yes. And while some parts of the movie were hard to understand, overall I loved the film. I loved the colourful costumes they wore too. I watched the whole movie by myself. Then I saw it with the kids.

    If I remember rightly it's Mr Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland @WestHam06.

    Hi @Adrian_Scope
                                    How are you? Thank you for sharing this with me :) Please may I ask do you think that Kiefer Sutherland plays a good part in Designated Survivor?  Thank you.

    Hi @WestHam06,
    I think he was quite believable in the role, even though I'd previously only ever known him for hunting down terrorists. Have you watched any yet?

    I've just discovered Game of Thrones.  It's never appealed to me before, but during lockdown I've managed to binge-watch almost the entire series now!

    I’m not a fan of movies with violence in and I’m also not a fan of sex in movies - does this eliminate 90% of Game of Thrones for me?  :D Or, is there more to it than that?

    Erm - I'm afraid so! There's not much sex after Season 2!  I know what you mean - i don't take much notice when people are killing each other, but I like the theatrics of it all, mainly.  I'm a big fan of history and it just fascinates me how people used to live!

    Yep, @LittleME is bang on the money here. There's not so much sex in the latter seasons, but the violence is pretty consistent all the way through. I suppose you could fast-forward through the gory parts, but there's a lot and it's also some of the most memorable stuff, so maybe not the best programme for you!

    I didn't think it was for me either @LittleME! I've now watched it all!

    Hi @Adrian_Scope
                                    Thank you for sharing this with me. No, I haven't managed to watch it yet as I don't have anything like Netflix. Any recommendations as to how else I could watch it? Thank you.

    I think it's only really available in the UK on Netflix at the moment, unfortunately. I believe it's also available to buy/rent on Amazon Prime too. 
    Not to be critical, but I wouldn't have paid to watch it specifically!

    With some shows spanning a lot of seasons, if you prefer to watch stuff TV series on DVD/Blu-ray, you can buy them much cheaper second hand from CEX, the site is https://uk.webuy.com/ I have bought Band of Brothers and a dozen films and they were all in good condition.
