This is one you called easily overlook and is the rarity, in that it`s an excellent Netflix series.

Unbelievable ( 8 parts )

Dramatisation of the true story, of the hunt for a serial rapist in and around the Colorado area.

The first rape victim, being a young girl, who not only did the investigating officers not believe ( hence the title ) buy went onto ruin her life.

Outstanding cast, inc Toni Collette and Merritt Weaver and very well written.

A very fine piece of television and one that will really grip you.

Nosferatu.

Visually stunning, with beautiful, but stark cinematography, production and outstanding sets too.

Here`s something i thought I`d never say, Nicholas Hoult is outstanding as one of the leads, well supported by Ralph Ineson and a completely over the top Willem Defoe.

Bill Skarsgard, didn`t really do it for me as Orlock ( Nosferatu ) and Lilly Rose Depp wasn`t too convincing in her roll either.

It`s in Olde English, which is how Eggers likes his films, so sometimes you find yourself losing sight of the film as you concentrate on trying to work the language out.

Good, but could`ve been better with a few changes (imo )

It’s funny. The director must have watched Hertzogs 1979 version with Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz and thought “Yeah Incan do better than that” and unsurprisingly doesn’t. The Hetzog version is one of the most unsettling and creepy films you will ever watch but is quite beautiful at the same time.

Spot on.

Considering it was basically a straight lift of the Dracula story, Nosferatu went onto inspire so many other vampire films.

For a film that was made in the early 1920`s it`s incredibly sleek and stylish too.

There were rumours on Twitter of a third series of life on mars but it folded due to lack of funding

Gene Hunt is one of the all time great tv characters, to that point, that he almost completely overshadowed the character of Sam Tyler.

I used to work in an office like that, everyone smoked at their desk, soft porn calendars on the walls and everyone went on the piss together at least once a week - pay day Friday was the big one, absolute carnage.
