I'm struggling a little with it. Quite liking it, but not so keen on the supernatural element so much.

Will stick with it.

Finished the new series of What We Do in the Shadows last night. Loved it! Really funny.

Didn't expect the Supernatural element at all. However, worth sticking with I think.

After we finished Fool Me Once it recommended another Coben thing, Stay Close. Going to finish it because it's only a few episodes long but this rings true and evergreen:

Mention elsewhere in this thread of Harlen Coben has just made me shudder.
Can't stand anything, book or tv, of his.
Utter shite.

The only one I think I really enjoyed was The Stranger.
Don't know why I keep watching all of them...

I remember a similar feeling reading the Da Vinci Code, this is shit but just one more chapter

I get the same with SBT and Twitter.

Feckin' dreadful stuff.
Read it years ago. Still scarred.

Mr and Mrs Smith on Amazon Prime is miles better than I thought it would be

Is it based on the Pitt/Jolie movie?

 

[SBT]

Is it based on the Pitt/Jolie movie?

Only in terms of the basic concept - I’ve not seen the film but it’s supposed to be quite different

 

[JAM See]

Is it based on the Pitt/Jolie movie?

Possibly not.

Got a cinema tripped pencilled in for tomorrow night and for the first time in a long time it won’t be to see a kids film!

Has anyone been recently and got any recommendations? Poor Things has great reviews and won awards etc - has anyone seen it?

Did you go and watch Poor Things?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Did you go and watch Poor Things?

No - cinema trip was cancelled in the end!

 

[Otis]

I'm going in a couple of weeks.

Looking forward to it.

 

[SBT]

Poor Things is absolutely mad. I’m still not sure if it was mad in a good way. Not Lanthimos’ best imo.

 

[Otis]

Have to say I am much more leaning to the latter.

Really disappointed with True Detective. Thoroughly dull and the main storyline and supernatural bit just didn’t work. Takes some doing to beat season two in the let down stakes but it did. Season one was amazing and three was good.

Yup, I felt the same. Love Jodie Foster, but felt it dragged and agree, the supernatural bit just didn't work for me.

Thought the ending was daft too

Shame

 

[Gleneagles65]

Father Brown is good viewing.

 

[Mcbean]

I may be late for this but Fargo season 5 is excellent - starts quite slowly but its part of the package - black humour is rife !

 

[Otis]

Just started watching Constellation with Noomi Repace on Apple, which is a bit annoying because she always hogs half the sofa.

Anyway, so far so good. Really enjoying it

Best have a look now true detective has finished

It's a head scratcher that's for sure.

When you find out what's going on.....can you please let me know.

 

[SBT]

The Way on BBC1 should have been miles better than it was. Will stick to the Adam Curtis documentaries for my sense of dread.

New episodes of Sunderland Til I Die were a bit thin as well.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Just started S1 of true detective.

may go back and rewatch the wire after

If that’s the woody Harrelson and Mat Mccaunety one it’s a belter - and if you have not done any of the Fargos they are worth the trip

Hmmm…rewatching The Wire is not a bad idea. My partner ain’t seen it and it’s been a really long time…

I am incredibly late to it but have just started the first series of Malcolm in the middle , its really good

One of the most under-rated comedies of the 2000s, if not ever

 

[Otis]

I have just started watching series 2 of Trigger Point.

Absolute preposterous nonsense. But gripping.

 

[Sbarcher]

Watching re-runs of Yes Minister. Aged very well and so adaptable for current times. Great series.
