I've been waiting for this to come back for ages. I must talk about the first season more than I thought I did as I've had 5 people text me since yesterday saying that season 2 is out!

It's quite funny, because I seen only two reviews and one says it is not quite as good as the first series because Bryan Cranston is no longer in it and the other says it is better because Bryan Cranston is no longer in it.

Ha!

Anyway, really enjoying it. So many intricate little threads and storylines.

Really good show.

Has any seen Narcos? was going to give it a go last night but decided to start on Orange is the new blck

Narcos is great. Makes you realise the insanity of the Colombian drugs trade.

Annihilation. Movie just released on Netflix.

Was a cinema release in the States, but Netflix have it over here. Described as 'Far too clever for cinema.'

Has some excellent reviews.

Intelligent sci-fi/horror, starring Natalie Portman and Jennifer Jason Leigh and directed by Alex Garland, 28 Days Later and Ex Machina.

Excellent I would say. Really good film, despite some dumb character decision making within the film. Recommended.

A futile and stupid gesture The story National Lampoon



Continuum another Canadian time traveller sci fi- 4 seasons

Just finished Mindhunter and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I enjoy TV shows like that and Narcos that are centred around true events and use real characters...in Mindhunters case the serial killers.

Great character development throughout

Worth it if you don’t like horror?

 

[Otis]

Worth it if you don’t like horror?

Yeah. Definitely more sci-fi than horror.

Sci-fi with a few horrific bits might describe it better.

Well. That was as good if not better than season 1. Loved it. You need to make a few leaps of faith as some of it is ridiculous but it is essentially oceans 11 the series. It even gets mentioned at one point which was funny.

Yeah. Loved it. So many threads going all at the same time.

Very clever and thoroughly entertaining.

Santa Clarita Diet, 2nd season just been released wonderfully dark comedy

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The missus started watching Weeds, and therefore that means I'm watching it too.

It's actually pretty easy to watch and funny in places.

 

[Bumberclart]

The Defiant Ones is a really interesting trawl through the lives of Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine, all the way from childhood to the sale of the Beats business to Apple.
Definitely worth a watch if you're into music.

James Acaster has a few shows on there now, he is pretty funny! A bit strange, but funny.

 

[ajsccfc]

I've seen the first one, probably one of the best stand-up shows on there for my money.

Was going to post the exact same thing.

Have to take your hat off him to have 4 different stand-up shows all at the same time.

Just about every other comedian has one show and tours it for around a year or so.

James Acaster can be very, very funny at times. Don't think he's quite honed his act enough yet to make it the complete package, but when he is funny he is very funny indeed. I really like him.

Love his Kettering Town FC song too.

We should do that here for the City.

Just Downloaded them for tonight

Unforgotten, looks like a BBC series. Just watched a few, very good!

Watched Annihilation last night. Really really good. So good it wasn’t noticeable it was an action/thriller with an all female starring cast which is an achievement in itself.

Thought the end was a bit dodgy, but usually the case with these types of movies. Highly recommend it.

This is a brilliant 4 part programme. I watched it a while back but rewatching it now again. Crazy who Iovine has worked with and where Dre started out.

Another vote for Always Sunny In Philadelphia here too. I adore that show!

My exact thoughts too, crazy/dodgy ending but very watchable.

Dre has gone from Compton to THAT beach house. The boy done good.

The fastest car, quite interesting.

I can thoroughly recommend the Greg Davies stand up special

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Just finished Weeds. Pretty good overall, made the London commute easier

 

[Bumberclart]

Just finished watching the new Bare Knuckle documentary.
Not sure how I feel about it. The guy who organises the whole thing is a former gangland enforcer, and obviously a dangerous bloke, but some of the guys who fight have questionable mental stability.

Was Thisbe on channel 4 a while back ?

You could say that about a fair few posters on here.

There’s a documentary by Lenny McLean’s son on Netflix which you might enjoy/find interesting

Yeah I saw it but had seen it before.

That big guy from Bradford got absolutely hammered by that bouncer.

Most of them do seem to have issues deep down

Yeah I think it was

 

[Bumberclart]

The most disturbing one was the former Marine, who admitted that he had done some really bad stuff in his younger years. He treated every punch he took as as a punishment for former wrongdoings.
In his 5th fight he jumped in the ring with the UK heavyweight champion and got totally battered.

Which one was he? The one who worked fitting windows?

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Was there an episode where a lad fought his mums boyfriend?
