Watching this at the moment , watched the documentary a while ago .
They're tough watching imo , time and again people , youngsters , getting locked up for years on end for crimes they didn't commit .

Heartbreaking .

I’m one episode in and in tears at this. One of the hardest things I’ve watched in awhile.

Regardless of whether they were guilty or not, they were just children and entitled to have their parents present and entitled to due process.

The fact that other adults exploited that vulnerability by questioning them alone totally sickens me.

Man Vs ManUre

Not long now (well,tomorrow) before Black Mirror is back.Looking forward to seeing Andrew Scott's episode.

Hope it’s not as disappointing as Bandersnatch.
The last proper season was good, tho I didn’t like the episode about the mechanical dog or the soldier episode. The episode about the guy from peaky blinders and the girl dating was fantastic.

There's a new Jurassic World animated series coming to Netflix. Given the name (Camp Cretaceous), I'm guessing it will be aimed more at younger audiences.

Dead to Me is surprisingly good.

Only on the 3rd episode but there is a lot more to it than I expected.

hefferboi

Nearly finished When They See Us. The last episode is very hard hitting. The argument between the brother/sister and mother hits like a tonne of bricks.

Excellent writing and acting all round. Would definitely recommend

A new Bob Dylan documentary directed by Martin Scorsese debuts on Netflix on June 12th. A follow up to No Direction Home from 2005 this covers the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour. This should be good!

It wasn't great in my opinion,been waiting on it a while too.
Seemed boring and predictable and for me at least,not up to scratch with previous seasons.

Reviews seem positive enough from a quick glance online.. Brooker's old haunt The Guardian gave it 4/5.

Captain Red Beard

I've only watched the first episode. Having not read any of the previews might have added to what I thought of the episode but it took an unexpected turn and they had some fun with the results. Pretty decent episode.

El Duda

Early imdb episode scores suggest that...

Episode 1 - 7/10

Episode 2 - 9/10

Epsiode 3 - 8/10

Can you jump right in and watch Black Mirror S5 w/o having watched any other seasons?

Mostly yep but you'd be skipping some real gems imo.

Captain Red Beard

Second episode was decent too. Andrew Scott was perfect for the guy cracking up, and Topher Grace was a good Jack Dorsey.

Captain Red Beard

Third episode was good too. All in all a decent series if not as grim as previous offerings (Crocodile, I'm looking at you) .

PsychoPete

Watched a few episodes of season two of Happy, started off as bonkers as season one ended. Enjoying it so far

You should most definitely do some strong acid and binge watch every single episode in one session.

Chernobyl marks a high point in tv. Remarkable viewing.

I watched 12th Man on recommendation here and thought it brilliant.

I kinda sandwiched those two in between The Terror. Great watch.

Good lord i only want comedy between now and Christmas though.

Man Vs ManUre

Really enjoyed that 1st episode of black mirror new season. How do they even come up with these crazy ideas??

Bunny Colvin

I just watched Black Mirror there:

By far the worst season so far.

Episode 1 was just all over the place. Two lads like ****ing on VR. Does that mean they they're gay or does it class as an affair? I don't know. Do I care? No. The virtual world was well done but the idea failed hard in the end.

Episode 2 was the best of a bad lot. It was well acted and had a bit of tension but the ending felt ant-climatic. A reminder to us all that we all look at our smart phones too much. It just felt like a letdown.

Episode 3 was jumping the shark for me. Miley Cyrus being in the show wasn't the problem, it felt like I was watching a teen sci-fi/comedy movie. I had to remind myself that I was watching Black Mirror. Garbage.

Overall a very disappointing series and a million miles off from some of the brilliant episodes we've seen before.

Charlie19

Re. Black Mirror I've watched the 1st two and I thought the 2nd was excellent. 9/10.

1st episode wasn't great tbf.

cozar

Episode 2 smithereens really good and great acting by the priest that was in fleabag. Can’t remember his name.

Agent Coulson

Despicable Me 3 just added there this morning.

Will watch tonight.
I thought the 1st episode was fantastic. Such a wacky storyline. It reminded me a bit of Hang the DJ which is one of my favorite episodes.
It wuda been much more worthy of a movie than the terrible Bandersnatch. I guess the makers just got overcome with the multiple options/user choices theme in it and forgot that the story was bleak and boring.

Netflix has begun to test a new feed in its mobile app that aggregates trailers, photos and alerts for upcoming shows in an Instagram-like fashion. The feed, dubbed Extras, is being tested with a subset of Netflix’s audience, confirmed a spokesperson via email:

“We are testing a feed of video extras in our mobile app to help fans connect more deeply with the titles they love and discover new ones to watch. These tests typically vary in length of time and by region, and may not become permanent.”

'Undercover' is very good. Enjoyed all episodes so far.

Finished Black Spot (Zone Blanche) which I enjoyed.
Also Undercover is very good (and sometimes funny as f*ck)

It's Belgian. It has English dubbing but you can set it to original language and have English subtitles which is a better experience imo. Recommended..

The second season of Rain was terrible. A pity because I enjoyed the first.

I'm not sure if it's still there but did anyone see "Requim"? UK supernatural drama, a bit far fetched but still good. I just found out recently that Bat For Lashes did the music and was nominated for an Ivor Novello for it

And that new subscription ISP based service Amatorrentaflaprimaflix. Highly recommend it.

Episode 2 of black mirror new season also fantastic. They are very much back on top form after the disaster of Bandersnatch. Looking forward to the final episode tomorrow even if Hannah Montana is in it.

It has English, Dutch, Flemish, French and Spanish.
So you are really best of to use the original language and have everything subtitled.

Indeed, there is nothing worse than dubbing.

I love watching all these international shows. Especially the European ones.

True some good ones out there but I find continuously having to read subtitles takes away from my enjoyment.

Ah, I am used to reading subtitles since I was a nipper.
In The Netherlands and Flemish Belgium that is the norm.

Watched the first few episodes of black spot. Not really drawing me in yet. For anyone that's seen it is it worth continuing with.

Also It doesn't seem to have the original French language audio so I'm watching it in German with English subtitles. And why is it called black spot. It's clearly called Zone blanche (white zone) in the credits. This annoys me more than it should ☺

Well, I thought so, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it.:pac:

It's a back spot as in no mobile phone reception, which in French is called zone blanche.
