    Earth 2 is a fun show it was on Netflix when it first arrived in Ireland so it may reappear again sometime.

    I think Earth 2 is on YouTube. I watched the pilot of it a few weeks ago. I remember watching it on Sky when I was younger. Watching it again it struck me that there's a few similarities with The 100 in it.

    I totally skipped out of these mid-late 90s sci-fi shows. Like others. I've always wanted to dive into Star Trek, Babylon 5 too, whatever Farscape and Firefly were, even Earth 2!

    Firefly is also on netflix and there are only a dozen or so episodes, well worth a watch.

    New Netflix original series Stranger Things is coming on July 15.

    Looks interesting. Second trailer shows a bit more than the 1st.
    A love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80's, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.

    Looks really interesting though!

    Watched The Resurrection of Jake "The Snake" Roberts last night. Amazing stuff right there.

    You wouldn't need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy this. It's about his constant battle with addiction of alcohol and drugs.

    Watched that a while ago when it first popped up on Netflix. Really enjoyed it.
    Westerns are one of those genres that have developed a bit of a bad rep over the years. Slow West does a lot to remedy that.

    Agreed. I think wrestling is pretty ridiculous but I really enjoyed this doc. Recommended

    Watched The Fundamentals of Caring there this afternoon.

    Agree with what others have said about it. Pretty well worn plot but Rudd and Roberts have good chemistry and the script doesn't go too far into the sentimental stuff. I also really enjoyed hearing Selena Gomez say "giant f**king pussy" about 6 times in a minute. :D

    I have said before and will say it again, the ending where
    she shots the wide eyed lad all casually is the ultimate friend zoned moment which will never not be funny

    When that happened, after I stopped laughing, my first response was "you deserved that, you plank!"

    Just finished Marseille last night. Worth a watch if only for Gerard Depardieu's on-screen daughter. :)

    I gave it an honest try & went in fairly blind, but found it an aimless, dull mess that was pretty shamelessly trying to copy the Game of Thrones template of sexed-up court intrigue. Benedict Wong was pretty great though. Am slightly surprised it got a season 2, but then given Netflix refuses to release its viewing figures who knows how successful these things are.

    Between is the story of a town under siege from a mysterious disease that has wiped out everybody 22 years and older. The series explores the power vacuum that results when a government has quarantined a 10-mile diameter area and left the inhabitants to fend for themselves.

    It's a decent show

    I'm quite enjoying Off Camera, which was added last week
    Its a series of interviews with interesting guests like Tony Hawk, Martin Short, Robert Downey Junior.
    Its different to the usual Netflix stuff.

    It sounds like The 100 except with a slightly older upper age limit.

    Short Term 12 is leaving UK/Ireland on the 8th of this month. If you haven't seen it yet it's very much worth checking out.

    Started watching the Netflix original 'Between'. It's Lord of the Flies but with 22yr olds. Decent enough first few episodes but I'm kinda losing interest.

    Really enjoyed spotless from episode 1 onwards. Normally when I watch a series I lose interest after 3 or 4 episode s. Not this time.
    I'm gonna watch the last 2 episodes today.

    Watched Belle tonight. (directed by Amma Asante, as part of my 52 Films By Women quest)

    Based on the true story of the daughter of a gentleman and a slave brought up by her Great Uncle and his family in England in the late 1700's. Takes some minor liberties with actual history in regards the court case it features but is a refreshing take on the period drama with a great central performance from Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

    I'd recommend it.

    Exact opposite: enjoyed the early episodes and the premise but once they abandoned that I found myself skimming through it

    Watched Art of Conflict, narrated by Vince Vaughan. It's a good documentary, looks at the troubles in Northern Ireland and is told through the the history of the murals.
