Watch the pilot too ... excellent!!

Back to bare bones though ... SD, 4:3 picture ... ah well!

I binged the first couple of seasons but I thought the 4:3 ratio would change to widescreen by at least s3, so I through on a episode of the final season and its still using that fecking ratio.

Its a pity because its a good tv show.

Check out John Mulaney: New In Town, I thought it was hilarious.

Ooh Orphan Black - I have heard things that are good about that!

Kudos to Artifical Eye (distributors of Blue is the Warnesr Colour), they seem to be onboard with the whole Netflix thing even though they run their own on demand service. There'd be few recent foreign films of note on there if it wasn't for their contributions.

Oh yay, that's on Netflix now, sweet. Like yourself, have heard a lot of good buzz about this show, particularly around the lead actor's ability to play half a dozen different characters. I think season 3 is already being filmed.

A really good series.

Quality can vary and I always thought the standalone epsiodes were its best work but well worth a watch.

New to UK/Irish -

The Almighty Johnsons - New Zealand Drama/Comedy about a family who are reincarnations of various Norse Gods who can't complete their destinies until youngest brother Axl finds his soul mate.

I watched the first series of this on TV a while back, it was pretty good.

Cutie and The Boxer
Finding Neverland

Both of Ewan McGregor's documentaries where he travels around the world on his motor bike are up now. Long Way Around is the whole way around the world and Long Way Down is Scotland to the tip of South Africa. Both worth a watch, his pal Charlie is a bit annoying though.

Season 1 of "Orphan Black" has been on Netflix Netherlands for a while. I'm half way through it and really struggling with it. It's just not clicking with me at all.

I've heard it's "the greatest love story of our time"

... but I think I'll try 13 Assassins instead - thanks!

The whole of the fourth season of The Killing (US version) is up today.

I recently watched The Grocer's son on US netflix, a french film about a thirty year old man who returns to his rural home to help run the family business after his father has a stroke. A charming little film and the french countryside looks gorgeous.

Also on US netflix is an Argentinian film called Sidewalls about two lonely people who live next door to each other but have never met. Worth a watch too.

I loved Orphan Black. The story can slightly lose the run of itself at times especially in season 2 but Tatiana Maslany is really excellent. I genuinely forget that it's the same person playing 5 or 6 characters.

Watched Marky Mark in Lone Survivor the other night on Mexican Flix. Good film and a solid cast. Quite Grisly as the film goes on and made all the better by the true story aspect. If you can get over the fact that Wahlburg struggles to carry off a beard throughout the entire film it's very good.

Not a TV show but I cannot recommend Longmire enough. It's available on the US and Canadian flix and is one of the finest shows airing atm. It's a procedural but one that is more concerned with storytelling than it is flashy fx or cheap violence. It's one of those shows that is consistently brilliant but has never found the audience it deserves. Hopefully like Breaking Bad it'll break out into the hit it should be

I caught a few episodes very late night on RTE a while back and thought it was great and couldn't understand why it was on so late. Quality stuff and will start watching on Netflix now.

I will use hannibal as a case study. It uses the murder of the week format. Now common sense dictates that such a number of murders and grotesque ones cannot happen in one state of the USA, let alone the country. It simply does not happen. I just find watching some of those mystery/murder of the week shows as unbelievable. CSI miami makes florida look like everyone is been killed.

It's not just the killings it's the 'artistry' that these killers use week in week out - who knew there were so many about. I think because of that it stretches that suspension of belief a bit too much at times.

The time of night a show airs on RTE is usually a marker for the quality of the show. The later it's on the better it likely is.

RTE stuck it on at a ridiculous hour and then messed up the running order, showing episodes of series 1 and 2 at the same time.

I agree. If america was like that id be afraid to move there. Most killings are hatchet jobs- You either get shot or stabbed or hit with a baseball bat. The amount like you say "artistic" killings in some of these shows is just stupid. Hannibal had potential because mads mikelson is very good.

I was thinking had they done it like true detective-8 episodes of pure quality, and only focus on one or two murders, it would be class.

Is Netflix down for any one else too?

It says on their website that they're aware about some people having problems with the service.

It started this morning, I was about to watch something on my Chromecast and it came up with an error message saying I had a free trial before and it was only for new customers!

I've been a paying customer for nearly 2 years so I've no idea what that's about.

I also keep getting error -7 now when I try to log in or watch something!

Was talking to some friends/faming with Netflix subs and they're all experiencing issues.

I'm sure it'll be fixed soon, annoying though.
