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.

If you use a vpn Trapped is on Netflix Canada

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know if it's available with the dubbed version as apposed to subtitles?

Just checked and I can't see a dubbed option. Just subtitles. Season 1 a very good watch

Sound I'll stick with it on prime so, I watched the first one and certainly looks interesting.

Just watched the white church murders. A good mini series worth a watch.

Behind Her Eyes. Interesting story, well acted. Goes so off the rails in the last two episodes, you may regret having watched it.

Bono's daughter is a promising actress.

My OH liked the ending, I thought it was ridiculous.

Thankfully, I found out what the twist involved. If I hadn't and I watched the whole thing to get to the twist, I would have been so angry with myself for wasting my time, I would have punched myself in the dick.

....ooooohhh I can feel your pain from here!

Behind Her Eyes was like an extended poor episode of Black Mirror. It was interesting and there was a lot of misdirection to keep you guessing as to who did what exactly....but I preferred it the first few episodes when it was a drama.

Not terrible though. A good idea that could've been done better, the acting is fairly good.

About Behind Her Eyes -

What annoyed me was that initially it came across as a love triangle and adultery mixed in with some serious mental health issues. All pretty grounded and realistic. But when it went down the paranormal route I felt it got ridiculous as it allowed them to create absolutely any ending they wanted to without constraints. Easy to have twists if you are not constrained by what most people accept as reality

Not bad but a bit over-hyped.

I don't know what this is about without reading it. I assume it's about Behind Her Eyes which I wasn't going to watch anyway.

Not sure I'll even bother watching Behind Her Eyes now judging on some of the feedback.

Also it does irritate me slightly knowing that there's a "twist". I'll be waiting the entire show for said twist to arrive.

I've always been of the mind that revealing there's a twist, even without giving it away, is a spoiler in itself.

Or when reviewers use phrases like "we meet Bruce Willis's character who appears to be a normal child psychologist".

I've watched three episodes and after reading this thread, I won't be rushing back to finish it off.

Netflix asks password borrowers to get their own accounts in new test

Well, it was bound to happen at some point – Netflix has started to crack down on users sharing passwords. The move comes in what the company calls a test that tells password borrowers to sign up for their own accounts without fully blocking them from continuing to use the currently shared one.



First spotted by The Streamable, Netflix users this week who borrow a password from family or a friend started noticing an alert about not living with the account owner.

If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching.

The message includes an option to “Join Free for 30 Days,” or if you’re the owner, verify the account with a 2FA code via email or text, or “Verify Later.” While it looks like it would be possible to keep using the same account, it’s unclear how often Netflix might ask for the verification for those that pick the “Verify Later” option.

The Streamable heard back from Netflix on the change who said “This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorized to do so.” However, the phrasing of the pop-up feels more pointed.

So the account owner could just verify it for anyone who was using one of their screens?

Huh? What difference does it make if someone is in the same house or not? My account is shared with three people that I know of who don't live with me. Never even knew you weren't supposed to do that. I have the premium sub for the HDR content and that option includes enabling several people to watch at once.

Makes a pretty big difference to the service provider I'd imagine. I mean I'd have thought it was fairly obvious that allowing multiple devices at the same time is to cater to whole households. Not for people to just share their memberships.

I don't see the difference. I don't really care if some freeloaders get bumped off my account, but it might have annoyed me in other circumstances.

Their Plans and pricing page does not say anything about a restriction. Unless you literally take it that you personally want to watch four screens at the same time, like that kid in that sci fi movie from the 80s.

I do see it in the terms of use though - "may not share outside your household". Never looked at the terms before.

Yes Day appears to be a bit of a dud which is a shame as Miguel Arteta has done some decent work in the past.

Don't bother with the Pet Semetary remake. It's terrible. The original has dated fairly badly but it still packs way more of a punch than the remake.

As much as I love the book, that's one movie I can't watch again because of one scene... :eek:

The trailer was so overly sweet I got a toothache from watching it. One for the kiddies maybe.
