Tried for the second time to start Sex Education
I just don’t get it ?
It’s not funny

Community on the other hand
Second attempt at that and loving it . The 2 “main “ characters put me off first and they still annoy me
But Abed is one of the funniest characters in any tv show

Season one almost complete .

For our “serious “ show I think I’ll go back to Unforgotten for the next week. Could do with Netflix upping their game in this regard fairly soon

Abed is great, and he has a great foil in Troy. You might be about to hit the paintball, which most people love. The show declines after a few seasons - though it still has its moments later on - but those first few seasons are a pleasure.

S.M.B.

I really disliked Community at first. I remember really struggling with the first season and giving up on it a few times. I guess it mirrors the 'it takes a season to hit the ground running then probably outstays it's welcome a little' show life cycle that is all too familiar.

I must revisit some of those top tier episodes as I have no intention of doing a full re-watch. Can't believe it's 10+ years since it first aired.

Community definitely takes some episodes while it goes from typical formulaic US comedy into that true Dan Harmon territory off being off the wall and finds it's feet.

The drama behind the scenes, with the back and forth with Harmon being sacked, re-hired and then the show moving from NBC to Yahoo streaming have to be factored as to why the show was less consistent in later seasons. If you can accept how the background drama affected things while watching them then there may be something to salvage in liking them, while they are still inferior.

If Harmontown is still on Netflix then it's worth a watch if you're unfamiliar with the drama behind the scenes.

Hercule Poirot

Just a heads up that Ashes to Ashes is being pulled in early April

Currently on season 1 to follow on from Life on Mars which I thought was excellent

And it appears there might be a third season of Life on Mars in the works, nothing official as of yet, but the creators did confirm they were in the process of trying to get it up and running

I thought Sex Education was great from the off but maybe like for me and Parks and Rec and Schitts Creek you need to power through for a bit to find the gold. Once you become invested in the characters it pays off.

watched headhunter last night.Lars mikkelsen,the brother of Mr Carlsberg is good in it,worth a look.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Sentinel is well worth a watch. Revenge thriller type of film, not too long at 1hr 20 mins but very good I thought!

Watch it in the original French language with subtitles rather than the dubbed English, however.

Proxima is a slow but engaging drama. Well directed, with a brilliant performance from Eva Green in preparation for a tough mission. Digs deep into the meaning of sacrifice, and its effects on others. The fact that its about preparing for a mission to Mars instead of war shouldn't put off those that don't like anything science-fictiony; it's straightforward drama, with well-researched science to back it up in interesting ways. It is a bit slow, but very good drama.

Peppa Pig is being removed from Netflix on March 31st, I repeat, Peppa Pig is being removed from Netflix on March 31st.

Time to set the DVR to get as many episodes from RTE Junior and Channel 5 as possible!

I nearly had heart failure when I read this. It’s all ok, it’s not happening now. Thank be to George

Shrek is a weird movie, in that it was arguably born (AFAIK) from Jeffrey Katzenberg wanting to give Disney the middle finger. The first was kinda fun in skewering fairy tale tropes but found the sequels almost unwatchable in places. Real ugly animation too, regardless of the era.

I thought it was dreadful. It spends so much effort bigging up Eva Green's character as a great mother that it completely screws up her character as an astronaut. She actually breaks quarantine to see her daughter the night before the launch, for example - something that could have seen the launch scrubbed and her thrown off the programme - and that's just the culmination of a pattern of behaviour.

Someone mentioned an actress who was in a Netflix show. A poster commented she was in Trapped which they said was a better show and that's how we're here.
