The Call staring Halle Berry is a cracking movie, I don't know how I missed when released in 2013.

Berry plays a 911 operator who responded to a call from the victim of a serial killer.

"It's already done"

Solid 7/10.

Is Netflix still send low quality video and sound or has it reverted to normal, anyone know?

I don't know and it has been my main source of tv and movies since it was mentioned that they were doing it, so it obviously had little impact on me

I liked it but...(unpopular opinion here) a 'tad' bit overrated. I thought 10 hours was a bit too much for it. Jordan's constant redemption stories were too much at times - "He did something I didn't like. And that made me MAD. So I went out for payback! [Jordan wins the game for the Bulls]".

I neither liked, nor disliked it. Thought it was watchable. The comeback redemption stories were tiring and so American in how they were constructed in the documentary, it was movie like Rocky stuff. It was also a very long drawn out puff piece on Jordan, didn't seem like a genuine account of the man or his life, I think this is fair enough to say after all that has come out from his ex team mates being so unhappy with the documentary. I'm sure the mans sh*t stinks like our own too but the impression given was that he was God. Am baffled by all the ridiculous adulation for the show.

I couldn't get into The Last Dance at all, and only watched the first 3. I really like sports documentaries, but there was something about this that just didn't work for me at all. Unlikeable people, and not very many surprises. The actual game footage was great, but otherwise it left me cold.

Last Chance U, on the other had, is great.

I enjoyed it, but like most TV shows these days, could have been edited down to half the number of episodes.

You cannot really give a credible opinion on something where you watch 3 episodes out of 10. Watch it all and then give your opinion.
For someone that knows very little about the history of the club, there are plenty of surprises. i.e. that's the way it was for me.
It's like watching 20 minutes of a film and then concluding that it is no good.
Doesn't work like that.
Surely with a 95% score on Rotten Tomotoes, 91% on Metacritic and 4.5 out of 5 on amazon - and the acclaim that it received; would you not think to yourself that it must be worth persevering with, that maybe it's a slow burner.

Tbh I'd just suggest watching S1 & 2 (including the Christmas special). At that point cast departures start to affect it as well as a decline in the quality of the writing, and by the end it becomes a sort of sad parody of itself.

Are the first two seasons good though? I am not really a fan of sci fi but heard its really good so thought Id give it a go when it arrives.

Not intended as a full review - just my experience of it. I do love a slow burner (Better Call Saul for example), but there has to be something in the first few episodes. It just wasn't for me.

I might go back to breaking bad. Stopped after 6 or 7 episodes as to me was more about an illness than the crime element.

Started Sons of Anarchy. Fcucking brilliant.

Misfits definitely has a huge tone change with the cast departures but only watching Seasons 1 and 2 means you're depriving yourself of some excellent Joe Gilgun content.

I don't know if I'd call it sci fi, certainly not in the traditional sense. It's about a group of teens on community service who get superpowers but they absolutely don't become superheros. I would agree with previous posters not to watch past series 2, I wouldn't even watch the Christmas special which is good but ends in a way that sets up series 3 whereas the actual series 2 finale is much more ... Well, final. Joseph Gilgun is great in later series but for me the writing around him isn't near good enough.

He was brought on board with some of the cast changes and from that point on I couldn't see him as anything other than a "replacement" for certain members that left. Also, some of the newer characters were really really unlikable.

Over the years I've really warmed to Joe though, and think hes fan-flipping-tastic in Brassic on Sky.

But for Misfits, its 2 seasons then tap out for sure :pac:

I spent this week binging all 3 seasons of Selling Sunset. It was a lovely easy watch, and each episode is only 30 minutes which I like.
I was watching it more for the real estate than anything else and it didn’t disappoint - the wealth in LA is absolutely eye watering.
I also find it mind blowing that an estate agent over there can make $150,000+ commission on a 2 million dollar house, there is serious money to be made in that business over there. A good estate agent can easily make seven figures a year just by selling a few properties.
Very entertaining and I’d recommend it.

I had the misfortune of watching it in the cinema.

It's an excellent doc the film version should be interesting! Michael Fassbender in the lead!
Taika Waititi directing as well

I saw it at the cinema and it had a dreadful hum of something whose script went through at least half a dozen rewrites, with the final version featuring bits of all of them regardless of whether they fit together coherently. There are some good ideas in it, but it is definitely not the Honey I Shrunk The Kids style comedy adventure it was marketed as.

Imagine the x-men as a bunch of working-class no-hopers without a Charles Xavier figure, just trying to get through each day in an estate somewhere in England - that's basically the pitch for the first two seasons. To be honest the tone of the first episode will tell you if you're going to like it or not.

Joseph Gilgun was good with what he was given to do, but for me his character never moved beyond being a replacement for the person who leaves at the end of the S2 Christmas special, and it wasn't helped by other characters leaving (in ways that felt distinctly more like "the actor wants to be done with this role" than "this is a natural and satisfying conclusion for this character's arc"). Like, it doesn't immediately piss the bed at the start of S3, but there's a definite sense of gradually decreasing returns from there onwards, albeit with occasional highlights like

the social worker who, upon finding the group in suspicious circumstances, comments "it's five o'clock and I don't give a sh*t", or the social worker karaoke scene.
