cant remember if it’s netflix or not, but watched the Diplomat, expecting something a bit like designated survivor (which I lasted a season then got bored), It’s not, it’s well paced and witty, the episodes flew by. really enjoyed it.
I am late to start on “after life” think I will take a break for a few day after watching 4 episodes, surprised by how much it is ripping me up emotionally.
We watched The Deepest Breath last night about free-diving. Its absolutely bonkers! I know that I’m pretty risk-averse and self-preservation tends to dictate my actions, so watching people doing stuff as likely to kill you as this is always …erm… ‘interesting’. Whatever floats yer boat, I suppose.
Its worth watching for the cinematography alone, which is stunning.
Talking of food based drama – The Menu is on Disney+ (first thing I’ve actually found to watch since getting a free sub). Thought it was great. Anya-Taylor Joy is superb, didn’t realise when it came out the she was the main star.
Struggling to find anything on Netflix, so started Orange Is The New Black, which is pretty decent. Not sure I’ll make it through 90+ episodes!
Glad this thread is here to remind me I was watching OITNB cos I forgot!
I might cancel Netflix, now my son can’t use my account, so I pay an additional sub for him. Waste of money me having it, it’s garbage. Only things I’m enjoying now are Then You Run (Sky) and the final Snowfall series (BBC).
Recently watched 2 of the ‘Unknown’ documentaries on Netflix. One about new discoveries in Saqqara, the other about the oldest graveyard discovered in a cave in South Africa. Both excellent I thought.
Watched 1/2 of it last night. Ended up just watching half not because it was bad, it was pretty good as they go, but because i didnt think it was out til later this month and i came across it at 3am.
Only watched half as well as just wasn’t loving it. Felt a bit formulaic and couldn’t care less about any of the characters. Might try again when in the mood
Another for Deepest Breath. Had to watch it in three sittings. Gave me the same “fear” as that recent one on the Canadian freeclimber.
A lot of “no, no, no, ohmygoodgod”
<p>Not a series but a movie on Netflix, I’d had a few drinks, but watched Bull last night. My god that was appalling.</p><p>OK I was drunk, but they appeared to do 10 year reminiscing sciences where nothing had changed. Everyone was exactly the same. While not hard to follow, it just seemed so lazy and formulaic.</p><p>Contemplating ending my subscription as well. I might watch the new series of Lincoln Lawyer and then cancel.</p>
Just finished Deepest Breath on Netflix. I know some of you said it was a tough stressful watch, but that wasn’t warning enough. Nonetheless I’d definitely recommend it, really well made, and some beautiful images.
