As long as you don’t try and take it seriously it’s worth a watch.
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.

You was pretty decent.
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.
Oh and there are some great comedy one-liners 😄
Anyone watched Travellers?
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.
Desperate to see Fyre.
Thanks for reminder.
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.
Yeah I really got into sense 8. Bit saucy at times!

Not the birth scenes though!
Hmmm I well watched the first episode of Sex Education and I really liked it.
They were riding bikes in it as well and I reckon I’ve rode up the same road an everything, apparently the college is in Newport.
Yup around Newport it’s pretty stunning countryside.
I love the 80s look to it v
It was all filmed in and around the old Caerleon Uni building just up the road from me.
Just watched Fyre, really entertaining. Can't believe I never read or heard anything about it at the time. Obviously don't follow the right people on instagram!
We're an hour into 'Grand Budapest Hotel' with its all star cast, pretty good, quirky, witty story and dialogue.

I also have started Punisher series 2. One episode in, it feels like it's going to be Daredevil S1 quality, rather than Iron Fist S1. Claret everywhere.
Sex ed is excellent, really well shot, and Gillian Anderson is tremendous in it.
Might have been mentioned already but “You” was quite good.

I don't understand your references, but I'm with you on the ultraviolence.
Up to ep4 and it flags a little at that point due to a particular character I find very dull, hopefully it'll pick up again though.
I love Netflix. It is one of the things I have no objections to paying for.
And yet I still couldn't wait until Friday and 'somehow' managed to see Polar this morning. Blimey 4k on Friday is going to be epic!!! No spoilers.
Discovered Pinky Malinky at the weekend, it's incredibly odd-but-amusing in a Spongebob Squarepants kind of way. Me and Verses jr are giggling at it a lot.
If you liked Ex Machina or 28 days later try Annilhilation. Alex Garland.
I thought Buster Scruggs got better after the first one.
Disinchantment was fantastic
Watched Fences last week which was very good.
Inception is now on Netflix. I had never seen it. Watched it last night and thought it was an absolute class act of a film. I do like how Christopher Nolan messed with time lines in many of his films.
Watched Fyre the other night, really good doc about a fascinating event/crime.
Would have been easy to lay it on too thick but the filmmakers handled it just right IMO.
The punisher is losing me a bit now, plot gets a bit saggy and too much psychodrama.
Will see it to the end but probably best it's not likely to get another season.

agree with that thought it was quite good, punisher was ok too.

I don't think any of them are being renewed, Disney is pulling them from Netflix I think, might come back when they launch their streaming service.
I'm not a fan of the double villain thing going on especially as they seem to be letting each other take turns.
Though I did read we are getting a 3rd series of Jessica Jones in the spring
Michael Inside is worth a watch, no hollywood block buster but good understated drama.
Polar, everyone should experience the suffering I had to endure.
Watched the Fyre Festival documentary at the weekend.
Great viewing and interesting how this guy went from looking like he was just in over his head to looking like a serial liar/fraudster who doesn't care about anyone else.
I'll be watching again.
Anyone watched the new Ted Bundy Tapes doc yet?
Anyone watched the new Ted Bundy Tapes doc yet?
Saw a promo for that. They must know their audience are a morbid bunch, but it's not exactly gone to the top of my must-view list.
Anyone watched the new Ted Bundy Tapes doc yet?
Yep, enjoyed it. He was more of a psycho than I seemed to remember and gives a good view of what a mess cross state policing was back then without today's technology.

Steered well clear of Polar because I have rarely seen so many different damning reviews for a new film! It seemed to be very popular with a number of folk on here, though.

I've watched the first two and it is good, the problems with information overload and lack of communication between agencies and forces are very much like the issues faced in the search for the Yorkshire Ripper.
Watched Fyre last night and quickly realised I was going to find it hard to decide who was the most hateful... the fraudster, his brainless, money-obsessed lackeys, Ja Rule, the utterly vacuous 'social media influencers' he employed or the more-money-than-sense half-wits who fell for it.
In the end I was hoping for a massive tropical storm to kill them all
Watched 20 mins of polar after positive reviews from here thought it was absolute shite and turned it off!Really got into sex Ed after a few episodes though. Gillian Anderson is class.
I know I’m slow but I’ve been loving Sex Ed and wondering where I recognised the posh English therapist woman from.....thank you.
Sex Ed ?? Absolute rubbish!! The teenagers must be the worst actors in the known universe. Gillian Anderson - well, obviously, yummm.
Been watching the second swries of Sinner, which is tosh but entertaining.
Some stuff I've enjoyed recently
Good Place
Travelers
The Last Kingdom
Norsemen
Star Trek Discovery
Monty Python's Flying Circus is all on there - and always worth revisiting
Archer
Atypical
All the Slow TV stuff is really nice background watching
Unforgotten
I enjoyed Sex Ed too. its a bit like Skins was was before it went shit - except with fewer narcotics.
got bored halfway through 1st ep of Ted Bundy.
pleased to see The Office US has appeared over on Prime. had a run through of some of my faves last night! never gets old! "hmmm, sort of a oaky afterbirth..."
Have to say I'm really enjoying 'the kingdom' at the moment.
It's kinda a Korean game of thrones but with zombies, and stuff actually happens (subtitles or dubbed into English).
This looks like it could have potential
Just watched first episode of nightfliyers......
Blooming excellent
So happy Netflix spend some cash on converting 'propper si-fi' into film.
