I watched the Spanish thriller Below Zero last night and I liked it.
Very good pace, good atmosphere with the whole cold foggy night element and good use of the tight indoors filming inside the van.

Did you watch in spanish with subtitles or english dubbed audio with or without subtitles? Would like to give it a watch but the dubbing annoys me.

Gotta say I'm nearly finished S2 of Parks and Rec never having seen it and find it a bit underwhelming. Maybe because I've heard so much about it. Its fine and all and good for a binge but meh. Sorry ! Apart from Ron Swanson of course..

I do like Aziz Ansari. Found his own show Master of None excellent. Then I hear he got in some bother.

Anyway I'll keep up Parks and Rec. Its good but so far to me its no way at the standard of the Office.

Im the same started it on Monday and never seen it before just half way through season 2 and its ok ,like you said good for a binge but underwhelming.

In Spanish with subtitles.
Not a fan of dubbed versions at all, I think it takes away from the film.

My memory might be hazy but I remember feeling the same around the end of season 2 but 3 & 4 are very good

That's my recollection too:
S1 - Pretty poor
S2 - Oh this is a good bit better. I like it more now. Will keep watching.
S3+ - This is great and one of the best comedies I've watched.

When does Rob Lowe come into it?

Middle of season 3 I think? It got a lot better when Mark left.

Nope, he's in season 2, when himself and Adam Scott's character turn up to fix Pawnee's budget

His appearance was "LITERALLY" the point when the show really took off :pac:

Wow I'm surprised it was that early.

Personally I enjoyed Parks And Rec on initial viewing but I haven't had any desire to rewatch it as I find the characters quite annoying even when I've turned over to reruns on Sky comedy it just hasnt really done anything for me.

It did. Even though I liked Mark

Hercule Poirot

He was a massive dick in the first season but he became more likeable during season 2, unfortunately the writers couldn't think of anything to do with him so he was written out (and never mentioned again, he didn't even turn up for the finale)

Re-watching the first season now. It's grand.
The supporting cast are all given more to do from Season Two onward, and the show benefits from it.

Mark's just a bit of a d*ck. He's probably the most normal person on the show, so he just doesn't fit right. Ben is somewhat his successor, but he's got enough quirks to fit in the rest of the crew. He's normal, but at the same time, he's not.

That said, Mark does deliver one of the best moments of the entire series.

Watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of parks and rec and really enjoyed it, some good laughs and if this is the weakest season then I can’t wait for the rest!

Loved the informer

I’m starting season 4 now that it’s come to Netflix and also am waiting for it to get as good as people have always said. It’s nice and an easy watch but not laugh out loud funny.

It’s been a while since I saw the earlier seasons so I can’t really remember Mark too much, but was he really worse than Ben? The guy is so bland they could have stuck a tie on some wood chip wallpaper and sent it in as a new character in his place.

A long time since I've seen it but when people say it gets good once Mark leaves I don't think it's because they hate Mark or anything. More just the writing finds its stride, they figure out Chris Pratt's character, Rob Lowe arrives.

Two disappointments was finding true romance and primal fear both removed. Had recommended both to someone and it was murphys law that they tried one after the other to no avail.

The Penn and teller magic show about fooling them is very enjoyable and some excellent magicians.

I have no idea what Korean Pork Belly Rhapsody is, and I'm not going to look it up - but I will be watching it this evening

Something with a title like that has to be given a go

Pointless ****e film.
That Twitter skit summed it up perfectly! Hilarious.

Gloomtastic!

Just had a lunchtime watch of Next starring Nicholas Cage where he can see two minutes into the future.

If you can handle the overdose of melancholy that comes free with every NC movie, it wasn't bad.
