Off Topic NETFLIX and Box Set series Thread.

Just turned it off mate for the same reasons. Should have made it about 'Ull's heydays when the real three day millionaires existed.

 

Will do mate, it's a Jet2 holiday to Taormina on the East Coast so close to the village that stood in for Corleone in Godfather I and also the White Lotus location, can do Etna as well but too far for Palermo, advice is to do East and West Sicily separately as its so big, not going until September.

 

It’s a wonderful place. Do it,

 

I will…if I can fit it in!
Got 4 holidays abroad left to do this year… so far.

 

A 5th won’t hurt. I need to get something sorted

 

My brother did a two week tour round Sicily
Really enjoyed it but it’s not cheap

 

Some great scenes set in Sicily in the Rai TV series "Inspector Montalbano" that aired on BBC. Would love to visit Ragusa and Modica. It was a great series with excellent characters and story lines. If you didn't watch it, check it out.

Friend of mine went round Sicily by car. Started off in Catania not far from where Original minority is going. He had never watched Montalbano but I said to him to have a look where they film it. They stitch scenes from various places together to make up the fictional Vigata but he saw Montalbano’s beachside place which you can stop in now. Great view from the balcony. Nearby Syracuse, a major and important place for millennia and home of Archimedes is a place for history buffs. Mind you everywhere you go in Sicily has something to offer.

Did he get a taste for granita? My mate did, especially lemon granita. One of those things you cannot replicate here.

 

Read all the books, but not watched the TV series

 

I enjoyed it. Some didn’t as it has some joke characters in it. Worth watching for a lot of the scenery.

 

Has the Netflix thread merged with the Holidays thread?

 

Cheers, likewise The White Lotus Series 2.

 

Nah, it's just a spin off series.

 

We fly into Catania and can get a train back there so will go, sounds like a mini Naples ie a bit rougher, anyone been?

 

My mate spent a few days there and found it OK. Syracuse is the place if you like historic sites and is attractive so my mate said,

Nice, you know what Rough Guides are like, they really mean edgy like a night out on Witham.
