Thanks for explaining, Alex.
I am not sure that would be for me though,  and I haven't got Netflix anyway.

I suppose I shouldn't tell you but there is a section telling people how to download just about anything that is available. I used to refer to it as Zoony's emporium as he was an avid downloader. https://letschat.club/index.php?topic=664.0

I don't think anybody other than Zoony and myself downloaded stuff and I don't much these days as I have a huge amount of films and TV series on disk already. It could be out of date to a degree by now but if anybody wants to try their hand I can update it. I don't do my own downloads exactly the same as described there as I just have a subscription that gets things a lot quicker.

aw sorry Mups, I'm a sucker for a bit of drama

Sorry I gave you duff info about series 5 of Fauda.   Fauda means ' chaos' and this series is full of chaos and excitement.   The new series will of course include October 7 so will be emotional.   The confirmed date FOR UK is September 8th. fingers crossed I've got it right this time. 🤞

Yup you got it right thank you 🙂

I'm a little disappointed with this series as the ' old gang' is no longer in Israel, but on a mission in France.  With previous series you never knew when the next bomb would go off, or if the baddies were holed up in Gaza.  I hope it will improve as the series goes on, I'm on episode 4 so far.

Today, Fauda is no 1 in Lebanon  and also #2 in Bahrain, Jordan and the UAE, and #3 in Kuwait, Oman and Qatar; and it is a hit all over Europe  where it has surprised many young people....
Culture crosses borders - and storytelling can break the truth of what really happened on October 7th
So many young people have no idea.

I've just watched the last episode, very emotional it was too.  So it did get better, hope there's a series 6 !
