nobody is likeable (except the computer) and I do wonder who in their right mind would put these airheads in space but I can’t stop watching.

You're right, the computer is a likeable character. And Starbuck is giving it loads opposite a bunch of amateurs.

I can't help myself. I'm going back.


EDIT: 5 episodes in and I think I'm out.

My account went from 13.99 to 14.99 today that's fine but I had to re sign in and I've lost all My program lists and what I was watching, basically starting from scratch, could they not have just billed me as normal

Earthhorse

I reckon get in touch with them about that. They should be able to restore it for you, I reckon.

I really enjoyed Basketball or Nothing
It’s certainly not as slick as Last Chance U and is a smaller scale
But the kids and the coach are much more likeable
I was aware of the social issues on Reservations but this certainly brought it home
I was really rooting for one kid from the start.......

Blackadder seasons 3 & 4 were supposed to be there today but can't see them

CastorTroy

I just checked and I see Blackadder there

The Nal

Watched season 4 of Inside No.9. A definite step up from season three which I found really disappointing. Bernie Cifton's Dressing Room is a great episode and Tempting Fate is a good riff on a Monkey's Paw style story.

NIMAN

Watched The Great Hack the other night.

Interesting, and scary, stuff. Basically about the Cambridge Analytica company and their involvement in stealing peoples data and helping make Trump and Brexit happen.

Fun fact: Happy Feet was directed by George Miller.

Yes, that George Miller.

"Mad Max" George Miller.

Feels like discovering "Babe" was directed by ... I dunno, John Carpenter.

Happy Feet was great fun!

He wrote and directed the sequel, Pig in the City, but he also wrote the original Babe.

pixelburp

Well then. Suddenly my Babe/John Carpenter analogy feels doubly redundant!

Just finished When They See Us. That last episode was so hard to watch what those poor guys and their families went through is shocking.

Would highly recommend watching if you've not seen it

Jesus christ this sounds like absolute torture.


its kind of a funny story...is actually really good.

Started Wu Assassins last night, actually a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting (though very silly). Fight choreography is pretty good.

Just started GLOW from the beginning. Near the end of season 1 and I'm really enjoying it. Alison Brie and Marc Maron are great in it.

Same. I know when I start watching that'll be me rooted to the sofa for the day. Then there'll be a deflation in mood 'cos I've nothing else to watch

Not on Netflix but The Boys on Prime is really good

Which should I watch, Ken Burns' The West or Robert Redford's The West?

Ken Burns one in my opinion. I only watched a couple of the Robert Redford ones. Can't really remember them but found them a bit cheesy. Done in the docu-drama format in spots if I recall correctly. Not my cup of tea.

FunLover18

Watched Lion last night starring Dev Patel. An Indian boy gets lost from his family and is adopted by an Australian couple. It's a beautiful film with some excellent acting and I really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it.

SoundsRight

If you want some old school family films, they've put up some of the Canon movie tales (Hansel & Gretal, Snow White, Rumplestiltskin). They were a live action challenge to the Disney animations of the time.

H&G is worth watching just to see David Warner sing. One of my favourite actors.

Fahrenheit 11/9 is both interesting and rage-inspiring.

Finding orange is the new black a hard slog. Half way through. Taking me forever to finish

Why watch it then? Its only purpose is to entertain, and it sounds like it's not.

The relationship Trump has with his daughter is probably the most creepiest thing I've seen.

Because I’ve watched it from the start and I’d like to see how it ends
