Same here it’s gone very bad

Covid's a big part of this. Everything delayed in production means there's little new to air as their model is to only drop a series when it's finished.
Coupled with ever more streaming services, it means we end up getting more obscure titles and fewer big titles. I've found myself looking at more foreign-language titles and short shows of late.

I though White House Farm was mediocre if I am being honest. At least two episodes too long as well

Might give Mormon Murders a go though

Do give it a go...I'm 2 episodes in and it's a fascinating watch...looking forward to the final episode tonight!

I finished Mormon Murders today. It's an interesting story dragged out far too long in true Netflix style. It would have made a great 1hr30min documentary, there was no need for it be so long. Last episode is really dragged out.

It’s made by the bbc, not Netflix.

Was just going to say this, if it was Netflix it would have been 6 episodes minimum!

I thought the last episode was fascinating ,3 episodes was fine but they nearly lost us after 20 mins of first episode so stay with it for at least all the first episode.

Is this the same show as the Doc called Murder Among The Mormans?

Never saw UNCLE before. Just chose it randomly. Quite enjoying it. Like the humour and its got heart without overdoing it. Like the musical interludes which I would normally hate. No Survivors is a good song !

It's a bit of hidden gem although the strength of the songs does generally weaken with each passing season but it's an entertaining show

Don't know if you've got to the "I'm Back" episode but that was the best song for me

No argument here. Never heard of him before. Couldn't believe UNCLE was from 2012. Thought it was some new show. Will defo check him out more. Also like Val. In his first scene I had my glasses off and thought it was Noel Fielding !

That doesn’t have have all the expiring titles either.

For example Kill the Messenger leaves on the 10th

Neither of those websites shows that

Didn’t Netflix used to have “last chance to watch” section or list?

Just checked and it's there as leaving on the 11th(last day to watch is the 10th). Maybe it was just updated.

Bit off topic but check out his appearances on 8 out 10 cats does Countdown - he steals every episode he's in

Thought the first four episodes of Behind her eyes were like watching paint dry. Episode five moved faster and the final twist in episode six literally gave me my worst nights sleep in a long time.

Ha I did. Singing to Susie Dent. Love it.

Andy is a great character and Nick Helm seems so too.

NIMAN

Behind Her Eyes.

Slow moving, but it kept my interest. Eve Hewson excellent.

I thought the last 2 episodes started to get a bit silly but if you accept that the AP is possible then the twist was clever I suppose.

Yea the last episode is really good. I was a bit sceptical after the first episode but glad I stuck with it.

Aside from that, I really liked Lupin. Looking forward to the second season.

The biggie doc was good too.

Zodiac (2007) was our choice last night. Jake Gyllenhaal & Robert Downey Jr star, along with Mark Ruffalo. It's a solid thriller / detective movie, but the run time is a touch long, and some pretty gruesome scenes. I'm a Gyllenhaal fan so it was always going to be up my alley. RDJ is not an actor I'm particularly fond of. It's directed by the same guy as Seven & he's behind Mindhunter too.

Just finished Cobra Kai.......first season was an absolute joy, 2nd and 3rd seasons were good just not on par with the first. It's really well done and the show runners are obviously big fans of the original film. Johnny is the gift that keeps on giving, everything that comes out of his mouth is comedy gold. That whitesnake dream sequence was an absolute howl. Ralph machio must be envious at the character development of johnny, in comparison daniel is a bit dry. The guy who plays miguel is also great, the chemistry between him and johnny is what makes the show.

Yeah I wasn’t sure about it at first
But it becomes fairly evident that it just isn’t taking itself too seriously after a few episodes
Agree with all of the above
It’s all about Johnny !

Ralph Macchio has not aged well and is not a very good actor
