Started watching Collateral last night,seems promising.
Watched a rather unusual horror the other (after a recommend in Empire mag) -
CAM - stars the girl who got her eye popped out in Handmaid's Tale as an internet webcam girl. Things go weird. It's actually a pretty decent film. There are some boobs on show occasionally, but it's not smutty 🙂
OA was great. Binge watched both series. long wait for 3 now.
Just started watching Chambers (recommended by Netflix), seems ok so far.
Last Breath, not Netflix but Iplayer so should be good for everyone to watch.
Astonishing story and a comeback from the dead to make a Champions League semi look ordinary

A Very Secret Service
Very French very chic very funny
S1 of this was excellent. S2 I'm struggling to work through; it feels like hard work, and like it's lost everything that made the first so good :/
My next recommendation
Occupied
Playing catch up a bit, but watched Polar tonight.
Huge fun in a brain off, mind open, way.
Loved the 'slow motion' take on a corridor fight scene.
Half disappointed in the 'open' ending, half hoping they make another one.
Undercover.
Really good mainly Dutch drugs, gangsters and cops noir. Set on a mobile home park where they weekend. Some very black humour, but it's just really well put together and acted, good domestic touches etc. Lots of female characters. A real treat.
(Blimey a rave review. I'm in Budapest later and will probably watch an episode on the laptop, so there you go...)
I watched the first episode last week johnx2, seems good so far
Watched "Sorry to bother you" last night, was a bit strange but enjoyable on the whole
Loved "Sorry To Bother You"! One of the best films of the last few years that.
The 12th Man.
The 12th Man.
That was superb!
I've just finished watching 'Kin' and whilst it took me a while to get into it it got better and better - great sci-fi.

The 12th Man.
Not watched this yet but looking at the synopsis I assume it's a film of a book called "We Die Alone." Amazing take if survival and will worth a read for those who like a true war story!
12th man is very good, courage and determination you find hard to imagine in anyone and which you just know you could never get near.
Turn up Charlie.
Easy binge watching.
Bad Blood , Mafia , drugs and violence . Whats not to like .
Kin was surprisingly OK - enjoyed it.
Happy!
Series1 better than series2
Barkley Marathon was an unexpected treat.
Wandering Earth - got through it with lots of help from FFWD button. The premise was great (in a sci-fi way) but characters were thin and plot did not advance very well.
Bob Dylan film by Scorcese! great watch!
New Black Mirror. not as good as the last series but still quality.
re-watched all of 'Master of None' this week, love that.
'When they see us' and 'Dead to Me' next up
The wondering Earth is bonkers Chinese Hollywood blockbuster fare, utterly mad, huge and crazy..I was a bit annoyed that it was dubbed and not subtitled. It did get me into reading Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem though
Currently watching Knights of Sidonia...its really rather good Japanese hard sci fi anime.
Its a pity that Cowboy BeeBop is no longer being shown but there is a Netflix live action version rumoured to be coming soon which may, or may not, be a good thing
Black Spot is good , season 2 just started .
I Am Mother
Watched it last night.
I thought it was very good,some great plot twists.
12th man ! Wow
Oh my!
I binged watched most of The Chef Show last night.
If you are in the slightest interested in food it's glorious!
Oh my!
Genius.
The feeling of all films I've ever liked as a kid rolled into one.
How good is Unbelievable?
A beautifully paced - procedural crime case pans out across two time frames following the victim(s) of a rape.
It's refreshing to see the attention given on the legal system - as it actually works completely against the victim during the 8 episodes.
Great to see lead Detectives without drink problems too!
Toni Collette is the main name but shares the prominent role with Merritt Wever.
No one mentioned Top Boy?
Canadian rapper to the rescue! If I had the money what would I reboot? Phone shop? Ideal?
yeah binged through Top Boy over the last few nights, great stuff.
How good is Unbelievable?
It's very good indeed, utterly gripping stuff. Kaitlin Dever deserves a nod along with Colette and Wever
Unlike S2 of Mindhumter, which was only just OK, and a huge disappointment after S1.
Top Boy+1. After binge watching the new series I watched the original series again.
Nice one Rone - I have a little crush on Toni Collette. now on my list ta.
Just finished Top Boy last night. **** dark fam innit?
Amazon rather than Netflix... but we are watching "The Boys" at the moment and its a very good dark twist on the super hero genre.
Watched the first 3 episodes of Top Boy last night. Excellent stuff fam!
Anybody done ST3 yet?
I was put off by the timing - mid summer release!
Fahrenheit 11/9 is an eye opener.
One to watch with slightly older younger kids maybe, but my 6 year old and I are loving Hilda at the moment. There are some mildly terrifying moments in there though so if you've got a nervous child might be worth pre watching some episodes. In particular the one about the nightmare creatures...
It's way, way better than the usual kids fare.
Criminal:UK - a 3 episode, self-contained interrogation anthology.
Great stuff actually - taking its cue from the Line of Duty scenes of interrogation, the stories are essentially one location; intense interviews with cop and suspect.
Works well, black mirror-ish in set/tone, strong cast (Katherine Kelly - Becky McDonald! and Neil Tennant, very good)
Worth an hour of late evening TV.
I know it's been mentioned but watched series 1 & 2 of Happy this week. It's so ****ed up its brilliant. While series 2 wasn't imo as good as 1 it still had its moments like the fight in the retirement home.
Rone, seen a trailer last night, looks really good.
A confession and the capture, both on cooncil telly atm are both very good, particularly the capture, reminiscent of spooks.
I miss spooks.
You know I've never seen spooks! Is it worth the time?
OA was great. Binge watched both series. long wait for 3 now.
Gonna be a long ol wait that!
I loved it rone, started off a bit cheaply made tbh, but grew over time.
I'm a fan of British cop/spy stuff, not so much into US stuff, dunno why.
Will give it a whirl Nobeer...
I know it’s been mentioned but watched series 1 & 2 of Happy this week. It’s so **** up its brilliant.
I loved the first series. Really need to catch up with the second.
It was a PSA on here earlier, but S2 of Disenchantement dropped this week. If you're not familiar with it, it's Matt Groening (Simpsons, Futurama) doing a fantasy series. It's great.
Watched Disenchantment. It's odd, I'm not sure who it's meant for. Too adult for kids but not adult enough to seem edgy to adults. It's almost like characters from Simpsons/Futurama got jobs voicing an animation, and then Noel Fielding sounds like himself. I think they wanted to do something different but didn't really know what to do with it.
Spoilers:
"Bite my shiny metal axe."
Cheers for the heads up Cougar, love Futurama.
Can confirm Criminal UK is indeed very good Rone. 👌🏻
Unbelievable on Netflix is good. First episode is a bit slow but from E02 on it really picks up. Well worth a watch.
Aye, I'm torn on that, having a teen daughter makes me struggle to watch that Mr D.
Yeah, I can understand. I think the description is a bit misleading tbh. It’s not all about the case in the first episode. After E01, it starts to switch up to police procedural. There’d be spoilers if I went on any more - but the 2 female leads, who don’t enter in E01 are excellent. So yeah, E01 might be uncomfortable, and let’s face it, what series about rape investigations isn’t going to be, but give it a shot.
Ah, cool, thought it was all about that one case.
yeah binged through Top Boy over the last few nights, great stuff.
Great little twist at the end I thought, didn’t see that coming
HBO rather than Netflix, but Succession is my vote for the best thing on tv right now. Wickedly funny.

There are apparently a few more versions of it from different countries...
Unbelievable is the best thing I've seen this year on Netflix.
No Ozark or Better Call Saul though. Yet. I think Ozark is next year.
Inside Bills Brain.
A very well put together 3 part documentary about the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and the incredible work they are doing, filled in with plenty of backstory about his rise to fortune, and how they met etc.
Well worth a watch.
HBO rather than Netflix, but Succession is my vote for the best thing on tv right now.
On Sky Atlantic too - I tried it, but found it impossible to watch something where I hated every single character and so gave up after about ep 3.

I only made it through two episodes. Not my cup of tea but was nice to see Cameron from Ferris Bueller has done so well for himself.
Prohibition documentary on Netflix was good.
I do enjoy a bit of social history. What else should I check out?
Succession is the best thing on telly atm
Currently getting spooked out by Marianne on Netflix. Just the right balance of foreign overdubbed weirdness and genuine creepy witch/occult stuff.
found it impossible to watch something where I hated every single character
Come on, cousin Greg is ace, especially when he got sent off to buy drugs for Kendall.
How can anyone not like Succession?
The Dark Crystal is fantastic.
Rone - Neil Tennant in Criminal UK? THAT would be interesting. Wonder what crime he's committed? Bet that it's a sin.
The Dark Crystal is fantastic.
Got about two minutes into it and all the bombastic exposition just had me laughing.
Perhaps I should have been more patient, but it seemed like Game of Thrones with puppets.
The Dark Crystal is fantastic.
When did it get even good as it really didn't seem up to much at all?
Come on, cousin Greg is ace
Worst, most unrealistic character in the whole thing from what I saw. Irritated the shit out of me.
Hey, I'm not saying other people shouldn't watch it, each to their own an all dat, but I found annoying and unfunny.
Rone – Neil Tennant in Criminal UK? THAT would be interesting. Wonder what crime he’s committed? Bet that it’s a sin.
Very good.
What a wally. I mean David.
😄
Apologies if it's been posted before.
Appreciate I’m late to the party as ever, but my kids introduced me to the good place. Really the first season. Most of the way through 2 and it’s still really well written and acted. Ted Danson is a joy.
My daughter is deeply upset she has to watch S4 WEEK BY WEEK when it comes out tomorrow. ids today eh 😉
ids today eh
Freudian slip?
Currently working my way through "Death in Paradise" !!
Do big movies have a shelf life on Netflix? I keep trying to watch Bladerunner and not finding time.
Not Netflix but Amazon Prime but I've just noticed that they have the 'Baywatch Remastered" - i.e. the original series.
Just watching Madchen Amick being a bit of a psycho with a crush on the lifeguard that saved her.
No Yasmine Bleeth yet though 🙁
Just background viewing whilst I do the ironing but, whereas it was clearly popcorn tv back then, it doesn't look so bad now in the time of reality tv...
