On to Episode 6 of Season 3 Ozark. Its a good show but at times I feel like it has no end goal and the following season will be just more of the same. Hopefully I'm wrong and Season 3 develops the story towards an eventual end.

Loved season three, ending was a WTF moment

I hated it
Only made it to end of season one Cos the wife made me
It didn’t help that just looking at Jason Batemans face annoys me . And his voice
So that’s not a good start

Totally agree with you. Some parts of it are woeful like he doesn’t react emotionally to anything . He is just drinking on

I really enjoyed a series on Netflix called The Society. Don’t get me wrong, came across as cheesy as fook in parts but grabbed my attention for some reason. I recalled there’s a season 2 in the works but can’t find a confirmed release date.

I got to episode 2 of season 3. Packed it in because of that hill billy redneck young one, “f*ckin f*uck fu*ckidy mothaf*uck” repeat. She’s getting all this positive commentary in the media about her acting. I think she’s hopeless and annoying.

I can't stand that Ruth wan. I was very close to giving up on Ozark cus of her but stuck with it

Just watched Last Breath ... Omg... Was literally holding my breath, highly recommend.

Those of u that have watched it, I have a question...

Did the medic guy go down to Chris? The footage of him waving, who took it and when we're they not going over to help him?

Dades

Extraction is worth a watch if you like non-stop action in exotic locations. Good fun, if a bit predicable. More like a video game in parts. Turn your brain off first.

I'm guessing it was trying to emulate Man on Fire, which I absolutely love. Missing the relationship between the 'kidnappee' and the main character though, which drove that movie.

Watched the first 'Middleditch & Schwartz' special last night - was very funny. Recommended!

Was going to ask if anyone had seen it. I like both of the stars, but generally find improv to be hit and miss. Glad to hear it's worth a look!

What a brilliant, informative thread this is! Thanks!

It's more consistent than most improv I've seen..

.. the fact they break character, forget characters name (etc) just adds to it.

An easy watch!

Netflix has partnered with DR, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, to film a new eight-episode series of Borgen that will be made available globally in 2022. The streaming giants also intends to make the first three seasons of the drama, which aired from 2010 to 2013, available later this year.



This was a very good show. Hopefully the first three seasons come soon. Would love to watch this again.

Would compare to the John Wick series myself... body count is huge!

Since Unforgotten I've binge watched two BBC dramas I missed. Press, and Collateral. Not as gripping but fine to watch.

Finally got around to starting the Vietnam War. Only one episode in but can already tell it's a masterpiece. Not sure it's something I could binge on though...heavy going and lots to digest.

Definitely like that in parts! But while JW is deliberate comic book madness, I think Extraction is trying to claim some level of reality.
