    I think The House is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

    This show's release in 2021 had terrible timing, given its premise concerns a pandemic that sweeps the earth, killing millions. However, if you can ignore that, this is one of the few post-apocalyptic shows that has a genuine humane and empathic emotional core. Speaking as someone who kinda hates the genre now; there was still plenty of "humanity are the real monsters", but the central character from which the title comes is of such pure spirit, he finds and encourages the good in others. I was delighted to hear it was getting a second season.

    Think they list shows where the rights will be expiring and getting renewed. So like it would be leaving on that day but they extended it. Have seen it a few times now.

    Since the Wu Assassins film was announced, I started the series last night. Halfway through and liking it so far. Though hearing the 5 elements just reminded me of Warriors of Virtue

    I started watching Space Force on a bit of a whim. Only 2 eps in and I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's wild how dated all the political stuff feels already. Its also not that funny, but I think that's a wider issue with the whole Trump era, it's just so dumb you can't make it funny. Outside of that it seems okay so far, an easy enough watch.

    Said it before on the dedicated TV forum thread, but will say it again: Snowpiercer went from a shoulder-shrug of a TV show in season 1, to a full-blown must watch in Season 2. A great quality bump, helped in no small part by Sean Bean's demented, magnetic turn as Wilfred. One of those performances that stops shy of completely chewing the scenery - but it still gets a nibble here and there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,237 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Watched Hand of God over the weekend. Really enjoyed it - family drama set in Naples during the year Maradona signed for Napoli. Great performances and script and its just a warm enjoyable film.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 33,720 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Over the past month I have watched about half of the first season, just an episode here and there really. The premise is quite good but it never really grabbed me as a must watch. Might get back to it.


    Ozark - watched latest season over the weekend. Fantastic show, this season was good but not great I thought.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,184 ✭✭✭hold my beer


    The Snowpiercer movie is excellent if you haven't seen it.

    Season 1 lacked a solid antagonistic force; Jennifer Connelly was too conflicted (famous?) to be properly villainous. Sean Bean arrives in Season 2 and just upends the whole show. Suddenly you had not just a big bad, but a properly powerful figure with Cult Leader energy seeping into the story.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,967 ✭✭✭garra


    Would it be feasible to skip series 1 and just have the main course, or too much back story left out to enjoy?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Caquas


    Enjoyed Emma with Anya Taylor-Joy. Glitzy production seemed right for a story about a privileged girl who tries to organise her friend’s love life. Sacrificed some of the novel’s complexity (as always?) but plenty of human interest.

    Why is Harriet always cast as someone much less beautiful than Emma? It was the same with Gwyneth Paltrow/ Toni Collette. The whole point of the novel is that Emma believes Harriet’s beauty and innocence will lead to a wealthy marriage if Harriet takes her advice and dumps the farmer Harriet truly loves. In the movies, Emma seems just cruel to Harriet who is completely overshadowed by Emma’s glamour.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 23,939 Mod ✭✭✭✭TICKLE_ME_ELMO


    I thought this version did a much better job with Harriet than other versions have. I felt like she was more fleshed out, and as a result it was believable that she and Emma would be friends, whereas other versions make their relationship seem solely like a project for Emma. I love the BBC version with Romola Garai too but Harriet in that was like a simpleton.

    Ha; I think there are a couple of definite Lockdown Hits in there



  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭mike_cork


    Korean-Kingdom is a must watch as already mentioned by another poster.There's also a prequel movie on Netlfix they brought out last year.

    Scandi stuff-Chestnut man (Danish) or the Valhalla murders are excellent examples of the genres. The bridge is another one (Danish, considered one of the best scandi noir shows made) and is on the TG4 player!



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    Tbh I'm not sure how seriously I can take such a list given that Netflix have said they consider someone watching 2 mins of something as a view. They've got very good data on where the credits start for their material (because they can trigger the UI to pop up recommendations and/or the "play next episode" button if you have autoplay disabled), so it's not like they couldn't actually check what portion of viewers stayed until the end.

    It annoys me a bit that they don't differentiate between me bailing on Don't Look Up as a stinker after 30 minutes (1/5 of its runtime) and me watching all the way through Extraction, because "I watched more than 2 mins" tells you nothing more than "either I clicked into the right thing, or I clicked into the wrong thing but wasn't so immediately put off as to bail on it straight away". I can't see any case where it's a useful indicator of anything.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Bit late to the party, but Hellbound (Korean supernatural series) is excellent and earns it's 18 rating.



  • Registered Users Posts: 162 ✭✭Champagne Sally


    Thanks for that Mike, I watched all the scandi ones you mentioned, we have great taste 😁. I’ll give Korean-Kingdom a go so on your recommendation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,589 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    Looking for something a bit gritty after Sweet Tooth (which was excellent) so I'll this a go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,460 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Didn't they change that recently? Think they measure hours watched now.

    Though how accurate are they the anyway. Like if that list is based on hours watched, The Irishman has an advantage due to the length of the film. Assuming the films below it are at least 2 thirds of its length then adjusting The Irishman number to 2 thirds would put it below Enola.



  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭mike_cork



    No Prob- Glad to hear you liked the shows :)

    If looking for more scandi shows- Trapped is the best show i've seen (Icelandic show). Seasons 1 and 2 are on prime but season 3 is supposed to be out shortly on Netflix- https://vodzilla.co/blog/vod-news/trapped-picked-up-by-netflix-for-season-3/

    Deadwind is another show (Finnish) & is on Netflix. Really liked it but it's not as good as trapped!

    The Luminaries was a good watch, bit surprised tbh as I was thinking a period piece but was much more to it..

    New Ozark was great and the recap at the start saved me rewatching season three.

    Watched Munich: The Edge of War last night and enjoyed it immensely. The story is nicely weaved into the real history.

    Mrs Sleepy wanted to watch Emma so we watched that too. Not really my thing but the cast (Bill Nighy in particular) looked as if they were having a ball.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    Fantastic! I was just thinking the other day about Deh-noh Coil, its take on AR seemed a much more interesting and prescient version than other stuff I saw around then (and it's still far ahead of all the Metaverse pish that Zuck is trying to hawk). Looking forward to watching the full season now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,425 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    The Bridge is great all right, but I think season 1 of The Killing is the best scandi tv series of them all. I’d put it in my top 5 of all time, up there with Sopranos, GOT, the wire and BB. Not sure what the order is probably gave to go GOT first anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,564 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    All4 is a gold mine for foreign tv shows, I would recommend one called all the sins (two series and third on the way).

    Bbc4 had an excellent swedish one called the hunt for a killer if you have iplayer.

    The stuff on Netflix is a bit hit and miss but the chestnut man was very good. Bordertown and the Valhalla murders also well worth a watch

    This trailer is worth watching solely for the WTF shock you will experience at 0:48 - watch until then and swiftly close the tab!

    Don't know if it was mentioned before but thought Coming Home in the Dark was pretty good. Pretty grim stuff though.

    Yeah The Bridge season 1 was class alright. Nearing the end of season 2 at the moment-Also very good. I've never seen the Killing but it's on my watch list. Any top 10 scandi best of list i've seen usually has the killing or the bridge at the top

    I made the mistake a few years ago of watching Sky's 'The Tunnel' which is a copy of the Bridge before actually watching the Bridge. It ruined it for me.

    I recently watched the Investigation which is about the killing of Danish journalist Kim Wall. Highly recommended and I thought it was very respectfully made.

    Season 1 was brilliant. All the main characters have made it to season 4. F8ck knows how. The scum of the earth. Makes for good tv though….

    Watched Win It all earlier. About a gambling addict. Really good. That losing feeling! 😳

    Finished watching Hellbound last night and I can totally recommend it. In From The Cold looks good so I'll give that a go tonight.

    I must give hellbound a chance as I keep hearing/seeing people recommend it. The clip I saw ages ago with big CG gorilla monsters chasing someone down a street put me right off it, I take it that's not really representative of the rest of the show?

    It is much more than a monster show. So much more. It is more social commentary than anything else.
