Domestics wasnt bad just a little predictable. For post apocalyptic I preferred The Bad Batch. Got poor reviews but had an original feel to it.

Altered Carbon is very good.

The Expanse was good until they sold it to prime and it’s now dissappeared from everywhere.

House of Cards WAS good, but was best in its first 2 seasons.

I’ve has Titans on in the background this am as I’ve closed some audits off, seems Ok but I’ll have to watch it again as I missed quite a bit of what the story was.

The Siege of Jadotville - Based on a true story, if you like war films this is very, very good. Great story, great photography, excellent action scenes.

I watched the first episode of Sex Education last night. I don’t think I’m its target audience but it’s quite funny and I was surprised to see it was English - I expected it to be set in the US (not sure why though). Gillian Anderson is 😍

Why isn't there Porn on Netflix? We're all adults and we have the pin. Every single man enjoys porn and a lot of men live alone or at least find themselves alone at home at some point. Is there some sort of law against it? Netflix are missing a trick as who wouldn't enjoy that on the big tele.
1stnameWsurname and bikebuoy will now come and say they don't enjoy porn. 🤣🤣

Strongly recommend Great News for comedy fans.

Not massively original but has a superb cast and an exceptionally high number of proper LOLs.

Brooklyn 99 S5 finally coming in March too.

Well obviously there’s no porn per se but there is one film with full penetration in it - the problem with it is that’s it’s utter crap and I can’t remember what it’s called 😂

And there’s always Blue is the Warmest Colour... 😏

We watched La Mante (The Mantis) - Froggy police thriller. Quite dumb but entertaining enough.

I started Sex Education based on rave reviews but turned off after about 10 minutes.

Roma is a good film but loses something watching it on an iPad on a train.

And there’s always Blue...

There's the problem with Netflicks and all streaming services. I noticed Blue Velvet was available a couple of months ago, fancied watching it again over Christmas, by which time it had been removed. It's the interesting films, the stuff you don't watch so often, that become less available because unlike dvds where you can print a limited run it's probably not worth Prime/NF/whoever allocating server space to a marginal interest film.
Suddenly I'm wondering whether anyone has set up a streaming service purely for odd art films and unpopular stuff. *searches*

Netflix may have taken the business decision that there's a fairly big choice of grumble already available gratis on the web Jekkyl.

Do you want us to suggest some URLs?

Yes wordnumb - it’s very annoying. I recently watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople and when I recommended it to a friend it had disappeared.

SPLIT

A fond kiss

Both decent

The original EVIL DEAD (and ED2) was funny AF. Or was that just the drugkz?

T2 was a pretty thin nostalgia-fest that just lent of it’s better predecessor. No wonder it ended up on Netflix

T2 was actually quite clever in that they managed to make a sequel of the first film (which was not a patch on the book) but turn it around and make it more about a major character in the book (Spud) than Ewan ****ing McGreggor's teethy grin.
I didn't really like the film of Trainspotting when it first came out. Partly as I'd been living a Jakey/druggy/unemployed/petty criminal existance across from Leith Central Station when IW wrote/published Trainspotting and was blown away by it. I'd never read anything so real before. Infact. Some of the stories I read, I'd already heard from locals. (Names changed obvz).
T2 is what it is and you'll either enjoy it for what it is or maybe you won't. No need to be a snob about any films/Netflix

"Struggle: The Life & Lost Art of Szukalski" was recommended to me by a friend. It's an utterly jaw dropping documentary.

T2 was ok but would’ve been better if they made Porno as is

It ended up on Netflix as it’s coming up 2 years old.

No need to be a snob

Oooh, did the nasty man critise something you like? Given that you often give your unwelcome and ill-informed opinions to anyone regarless, like a dockside hooker with the clap. The lack of self awareness in your post reveals a level up until now diplayed only by pot plants

I'm enjoying Wanderlust at the moment. British comedy drama with Vod from fresh meat and Muriel from Muriels wedding plus Paul Kaye who I've always liked.

Yeah I’m really enjoying Sex Education. Highly recommended.

Need to look up the reason it’s obviously written by an American but set in “England”. It’s very odd as the “English Secondary” school is nothing of the sort - it’s an American school filled with English pupils.

Edit: OK, English writer deliberately calling back to Breakfast Club / Ferris Bueller etc. apparently.

I watched the first episode of Sex Education and thought it was dire. Gave the 2nd episode 10mins to confirm it.

You was pretty decent. As long as you don't try and take it seriously it's worth a watch.

Watched the Netflix movie Close last night. Garbage despite the lead.

Sex Education is one of those things that I won’t watch cos it’s like they’re forcing it on you! I open Netflix to continue a series I’ve been watching and all I’m confronted with is THIS! WATCH THIS! Well, no, piss off!
I believe this could be ‘cutting my nose off to spite my face’ but that’s something I’m well known for 😂

The fix is pretty good as a comedy program. The white rabbit project is clever, 3 of the ones from mythbusters doing interesting stuff

Sex Education becomes really rather good later in the series. It’s worth persevering. I really hope they make another series.

Well it is a comedy about teenagers discovery sex I'm not sure it's possible to take it too serious.

I think it becomes a lot more than that towards the end.

Season 2 of the Punisher just released and shaping up to be every bit as good as the first.

Glitch is also a decent series and new Archer episodes added recently.

Yup the background stories are different hence why I said too serious.

I heard the creator talking about Sex Education on the BBC and it sounded like I'd hate it. He said they wanted to make something "aspirational".

Is it more Dawson's Creek than Inbetweeners?

No. It’s like Skins for 6th formers, but the cinematography is excellent and the story development is much stronger.

I enjoyed the first season, the second season got a bit silly IMO.

"Close" is indeed dreadful. Jeffrey Archer level dialogue, (very) sub-Bourne action.

"Fyre", the documentary about the ill fated Caribbean "festival" for rich kids is interesting. Incredible just how far the whole scam went.

Just finished watching Travellers season 3. It's a fantastic series with an interesting spin on what time travelling is. Definitely recommend that you watch it
It finished properly at the end of season 3 as well.

Has anyone suggested Sense8? 2 Seasons and a 2 hour finish off. Found I needed to get past about the first 2 episodes before I "got it". Thereafter, brilliant. Created by the Wachowski sisters who, when they were brothers, did the Matrix.

I’m going to watch sex education as I think it’s filmed in that weird part of Wales/England and there’s a nice cafe on the way ‘filling station’ in tintern so may be able to rustle up an interesting ride.

Titans is good and I’m enjoying it.

F for family is not too bad if you like cartoons.
