Dark. Suitably mad. Watched Season 1 with my head well scratched from bewilderment. Will wait for the long night's for Season 2. Couldn't stand the dubbed version, much better with the German voices and subtitles for me. Characters don't seem as menacing with American accents!

I ended up going straight from rewatching season 1 to watching season 2 in preparation for the final season which is released this weekend
Agree it has to be watched with subtitles
I still don’t know what’s going on ! It’s goes pure mad altogether in season 2

The movie was excellent, yeah it's a mad concept but you either buy in to it or you don't, the tv show isnt great though tbh so far but it does look good.

Tbh the whole thing doesn't make sense. Why are a tiny % of the train's population living it up in 1st class and consuming so much of the limited resources 7 years later even though their monetary wealth is now irrelevant since the world has more or less been destroyed?

If the last (known) remnant of humanity numbers just a few thousand surely to save the human race you'd have to be brutal but logical and get rid of useless muppets while making use of anyone with useful skills or intelligence regardless of what class section of the train they came from.

Oh, and I think the Sean Bean's character is already dead before he even appears in the show. I guess someone managed to figure out how to kill Sean Bean in advance this time!

Is Irish Netflix streaming still reduced video and audio quality?

Athlete A is another grim but powerful tale. It just beggars belief things like that can go on for over a decade without any consequences

Institutions commonly tend to protect themselves first, regardless of the cost to any individual or whistleblower, we've seen this numerous times.

Athlete A is hard to sum up. My stomach was pretty much in knots within 15 minutes. There is plenty of blame to go around here, coaches - both men and women, oh and **** the FBI agent who seems to have been mates with Steve Penny. Seriously. Once we see Nassar in handcuffs his head's down and we know he's done, it's a relief. The fact that he got over 20% of the vote for school board after the story came out is insane.

Justice is hard, so damn hard. A strength of the US system is they don't hang about, though. Someone needs to give Rachael Denhollander the top legal job in the land some day, just do it. They were very luck to find the hard drives. Top work by the detective, assistant attorney general and Indianapolis Star. The real gut punch is of course the court room. Just one woman after the other lining up to speak.

I'll be checking out this podcast. https://believed.michiganradio.org

Not sure if this was posted already but finally - you can remove shows from your "Continue Watching" list via the Android app. You just go to the show in the Continue Watching that you don't want to continue, select the options for it and choose "Delete From Row".
Used it earlier and found it updated immediately, including when I checked via the browser.

59% so far on Rotten Tomatoes. Might be worth a look as critics never really overly love modern Comedies

At 2 hours though there must be padding in there. Comedy films should never really go over 100 mins imho

For my sins, I've been persuaded to a watch-along of this tomorrow night with some friends. Between the inconsistency of Ferrel's film output and the Eurovision subject matter, I shan't be doing it sober :P

Yikes, Only the 10 more episodes to go in my rewatch. Better get cracking! Didn't think I'd get as invested 2nd time around but almost more enjoyable once you have some of the plot points in your head and can pick up on more of the little details

Saw voodoo wrestling on The Wrestlers that was on Vice.
Did always wonder why never hear of men playing Roller Derby. Is it a thing in Ireland? For women I mean?

30 minutes in and as Will Ferrell Movies go it is pleasant enough, almost charming.

Half way through it here and enjoying it. If you enjoy the Eurovision you should be fine and you never ever ever should watch the Eurovision sober so the same rules apply here.

Dan Stevens is absolutely brilliant hamming it up as the Russian contestant!

80%+ for audiences. This isn’t the type of comedy to get critical acclaim. See Baywatch for an example!

Really liked the Eurovision film aswell.

The Eurovision film had a few good laughs, but sagged massively in the middle. It could easily have lost half an hour, and about 6 penis jokes.

Hercule Poirot

Just finished season 3 of The Sinner and I can appreciate the direction it took in trying not to essentially repeat the previous seasons but it's missing the mark slightly. I get what it was trying to do but the storyline dragged across the 8 episodes, possibly 5/6 episodes could have told the story equally well. That being said, Bill Pullman fascinatingly weird and excellent and I've always liked Matt Bomer and I think he plays his part well. Story was just a little too strecthed out.

I'd recommend The Sinner to anyone who hasn't watched it, especially the first two seasons, excellent television

it's one of those shows that can only be watched in one go, all 3 seasons.
Too complicated to pick up season 3 after a two year break from the end of the previous season

I only watched season 3 today, I had seen the first two when they came out originally, but I rewatched them earlier this month. I’d definitely advise a rewatch of season 2 before watching season 3

I didn't hear anything about it and was expecting something maybe along the lines of Geralds Game. I feel like I was tricked into watching it. GF suggested it, said to me everyone is saying its brilliant, top ten in Ireland, 93% on Netflix. I kept saying right that's enough riding bit of plot now, could turn it around. Nope just more riding.
