Watched La Mante during the week, a 6 episode French crime drama. Very good. Also really recommend Quicksand

Yeah Quicksand is top notch stuff. The Scandi's know how to do drama

Probably the only person here excited about new She-ra episodes today. I really loved the first season and while it's probably not to every adult's tastes, anyone with kids climbing the walls as the holidays draw to a close could so worse than checking it out.

watched some tripe with keanu reeves in it last night called Siberia. Well watched about 30 minutes of it and left

The John wick films are brilliant. Can’t wait for number 3.

Snake Plisken

Brawl on Cell Block 99 is worth a watch from S. Craig Zahler, the director of Bone Tomahawk so you know the kind of movie you're going to get. Great performance from Vince Vaughn, quite violent and not for everyone but I really enjoyed it

Dark season 2 June 21st

pixelburp

Great, underrated show. Feels like a long time since season 1.

Wasn’t it about a time travelling bunker or something? Good though.....

Another recommendation for Quicksand. Well worth the watch.

Just finished The Syndicate. About a group of people who win the lottery. Very enjoyable. Also really liked Quicksand.

Is this dubbed or subtitles?

I think it's available in both. I watched it with subtitles and would recommend that way as the acting is very good.

No kids but started watching season 1 on a Saturday morninng while eating breakfast. Didn't stop til I finished the season. Easy watching.

Turned it on for my daughter. Found myself looking forward to season 2.

The re-mastered program on Robert Johnson I thought was very good. (Devil at the crossroads). He was an original blues guitarist who influenced the likes of Keith Richards (featured), Clapton and Led Zep. Will be interesting to any musos.

I'm saving S2 for tomorrow when I have the house to myself and nothing to distract me. It's genuinely one of my favourite things I've watched on Netflix in the past year or so. It is easy watching but in a good way. It's genuinely funny and I find the characters and their story quite compelling.

tombliboo83

Nearing the finale of quicksand; slow start but gripping drama after about four episodes. Also watching the mechanism which is decent enough. Looking forward to dark season two though, might have to rewatch season one, gripping mix of sci fi and horror.

Adrift is not too bad.

I had originally thought I had seen it but it's very different from the other.

Watched baywatch there...chuckled a few times.
Like it was total ****e but enjoyable ****e all the same

Are these on Netflix now? I looked for them a couple of months ago and they weren't.

'I Think You Should Leave' is a solid enough, often dark, sketch show. Easy 6 episode watch at under 20 minutes a piece.

The firs one I watched, I was like "what the hell is this?". But after 4 episodes it had completely won me over.

Yep, Tim Robinson is genuinely very witty.

Some great sketches in there.

Finished bodyguard it's OK nothing special tbh certainly not up there with the likes of Line of Duty or Unforgotten. The last episode was poor. 5/10

Third person to say the ending is poor
Thanks for that
Life is too short to watch something so long that will end poorly

It does get a bit carried away but it is TV at the end of day.

Any recommendations for sports documentaries? I've watched Sunderland Til I Die (excellent) and most of season 1 of QB1 (hit and miss) so far. This is for when the wife is working nights and I can indulge in something she won't enjoy! (No sniggering at the back)

Iverson, icarus and stop at nothing all very good. The Berkley marathons is good fun too

I've heard good things about the F1 series from people that don't watch F1 but yet to watch it. It's on the list.

Oh and of course last chance u. Season 1 was very good. I struggled with season 2 though

Would recommend Valley Uprising, it's not a traditional sports documentary. Basically about all the people who have climbed Yosemite and how ridiculous awesome and mad they are.

The Battered Bast*rds of Baseball is good, about Kurt Russell's dad owning a baseball team where they gave a lot of iffy players/characters a second chance.

Watched one episode of Bonding. Hard to believe it is possible to make something so bad. Literally no hook, no reason to watch another episode, crap acting, dialogue, storyline, just empty, truly awful sh1te.

Formula 1 drive to survive is fantastic. Great insight into the sport.

BoardsMember

Watched After Life. Really quite enjoyed it, some really nice scenes, gentle, sensitive, heartwarming storyline.

Finished sex education, another one I would really recommend, hope they make another series as it's very watchable.

They've already confirmed a second series of Sex Education.

So long? It’s six episodes! Didn’t think the ending was as bad as others here but it’s certainly a show that started stronger than it finished.

Have been watching Line of Duty this week myself. It’s good but the sound mix IS REALLY OFF IN MANY SCENES SO YOU CAN’T ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT THE CHARACTERS ARE SAYING. I find this trend in a lot of new shows if I’m honest and have no idea why it’s popular.

Check out 'The Dawn Wall'.

I've found that with a good few shows lately where they have the music way too loud. Turning the audio to English (original) rather than 5.1 has helped sometimes. You have to do it every time though instead of setting it globally, which is annoying.

There is a Bobby Robson documentary. It's very good. Great manager

I finished this yesterday, it's hit and miss as all sketch shows are but I belly laughed at least once per episode which is good enough for me. I hope there is another season.

Its not just the end of The Bodyguard that's poor. What a terrible series.

Sport & comedy in 1 is Sunderland Till I Die

Agreed. I thought Richard Madden's acting was terrible and the rest of the cast weren't much better. Very wooden performances all round

Autecher

The new Anthony Jeselnik special was added today. He's always good for a laugh even if I think he's better in small doses.

Really enjoying quicksand. Two left to watch, hope it ends well

Yeah I wasn't bothered finishing the first episode.


It was like a parody of BBC Sunday evening telly: turgid wine-coma melodrama with MOR titillation for the middle-aged female libido. I'm sure a bare-chested crossover with Poldark is in the works.
