    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 :D

    Has not aged well? He's nearly 60 and barely looks a day over 45!

    Watched Pacific Rim: The Black. I liked it. More violent than I expected

    Watched Tag - enjoyable enough, a few laugh out loud moments and a lot of nonsense

    The Sherlock Holmes-esque scenes with Jeremy Renner are very well done

    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.

    It's a great film, critically acclaimed and on many people's "best" list.

    Honestly can't remember the last Friday I was looking forward to something new on Netflix! :(

    But why does it have to be new?

    There's thousands of hours of quality older stuff there too.

    Not sure if on Netflix but I'd highly recommend watching Memories of Murder as well. It's Korean, from the director of Parasite and is very similar to Zodiac. Both are great films and anyone who loves Zodiac tends to love it.

    Huh how random. I watched that last night, unfortunately not on Netflix but absolutely fantastic movie. South Kora really does produce some absolute gems

    Just finished The Mormon Murders, found it interesting especially seen the people that were interviewed 35 years ago and now being interviewed again.

    Didn't really like Behind Her Eyes. I assumed I was watching one genre of TV series and by the end it completely changed direction.

    Without spoiling it by the end it felt like a really long episode of a certain popular 90's TV show -
    The X-Files. A show I loved but when watching that you expect paranormal. Would have preferred if BHE stayed more grounded in reality

    Would anyone have anything similar to recommend (apart from Happy Valley)?

    A lot of people say that The Social Network is Finchers best film but I much prefer Zodiac

    I have seen it so many times, it really is an excellent thriller.

    I think they're both Finchers high point, with only degrees of personal preference splitting the two. Social Network is a better narrative perhaps, with Zodiac a more intriguing puzzle. I know Mank divides, while Alien3 famously studuo interfered, but the man's CV has a consistency that must be the envy of others in the field. Even his "merely entertaining" films like Dragon Tattoo are leaps and bounds above the rest of mainstream Hollywood.

    Watched these over the last few days.

    Moxie - It was grand, an easy watch but a bit heavy handed/uneven with its message and nowhere near as good as the likes of Eighth Grade, Booksmart or Edge of Seventeen in terms of female centred coming of age films imo.

    The Art of Self Defence - Not as hilarious as the trailer made it look but still very funny in places. Worth a watch if you like your comedies dark.

    Hostiles - One that passed me by when it came out but was in the mood for a western so threw it on. Well worth a watch and Christian Bale is great in it. Pretty grim/serious though so not one to watch if you are looking to be cheered up.

    Similarly, another one from Harlan Cohen - The Stranger.

    Finished Behind Her Eyes this morning.. some of the dodgiest acting I've seen from a Netflix series and the whole
    astral projection
    angle was woeful.

    Another vote for the valhalla murders really gripping and kicks it up a notch in last few episodes

    Kinda agree. The more I've been thinking about Behind Her Eyes, it reminded me of Lost!

    I was kept interested but the ending was like a kick in the stones.

    At least BHE only dangled me along for 6 episodes, not 6 series.

    I just finished Call My Agent and loved it! Can anyone recommend any other good French series? I've also watched Lupin which I really enjoyed.

    The bureau (on amazon) is one of the best spy series around. Absolutely fantastic.

    A year ago I couldn't find anything I was interested in watching that I hadn't already seen. Star Trek is the only thing on it I have lined up to watch, there's been incredibly little added over the last year as well.
