    Finished Arcane, what a gem. Loved it. Great animation style, music, story.

    Spaced it out a little and had proper anticipation between episodes which I haven't had in a while.

    Up there with the best things that Netflix have done.

    That Castle for Christmas trailer autoplayed on netflix so I watched it and think it's safe to say that if you were interested in it but don't have the time to watch, the trailer seems to be a recap of the film. Not that it wasn't a predictable film anyway.

    Just got the first 2 Hellbound watched. Liking it so far

    I watched the castle film last night and it's just plain awful. I said it before but Netflix seem to be very bad at making the bad Christmas films. You can see its got a budget and some reasonably recognisable names and I think that takes away some of the charm that the Hallmark or TrueMovies ones have where the cheapness is part of the charm.

    Speaking of, there's a Hallmark version of the castle film and it's set in Ireland! Filmed in Claire/Limerick last year.

    For anyone thinking of watching Power of the Dog - try to put your phone away when watching so you can settle into its very distinct pace. It’s a low-key, slow-burner but very rewarding if you stick with it!

    Just finished watching National Treasure. Found it fairly gripping if at times very dark. Great acting by Robbie Coltraine and Julia Walters.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,317 ✭✭✭p to the e


    Ah yes, "Two Weeks Notice" and the infamous missing apostrophe.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,308 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Lost in Space 3. Woo. A show that really snuck into my Must Watch pile without me really noticing.

    And anyone who has seen the Villeneuve version, it really is important to go watch the 1984 version of Dune. It's a total trip



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,370 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    That Aisling Bea series is watchable only 20 mins or so an episode but that's where the praise mostly ends, badly written, unconvincing protagonist and the Irish in London thing has been done times over by this point its easy to plump for better, her co-stars 'Catastrophe' even perhaps.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Anyone else's continue watching list suddenly fill up with literally everything they've ever watched?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,308 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    @peteeeed where do you get your list from btw? Archer season 12 is listed but there's no sign of it on Netflix IE. Same happened with season 11 a while back too. I guess this is UK/IE region thing?

    Yeah some strange stuff I had completely forgotten I watched appeared

    Ah right; so UK then. Guess there are a few bits & bobs that don't appear in Ireland for licensing reasons. Wonder what's stopping Archer seasons 11 and 12 from appearing.
