Dahmer was as I expected from Ryan Murphy. Dark, long and intense.

No one could of played him like Evan Peters,he was the star of American horror story and it's suffered without him. So so underrated

I watched Blonde last night - almost 3 hours of pure misery. I don't mind the odd depressing film but if you're going to go all out misery then please keep it to 90 minutes.

True but from a quick Google...all the stories from that book are optioned for films (bar possibly, if it bleeds - I am guessing it is mixed up with the rights to the outsider - now sadly canceled by the looks of it - cracking TV show btw).

I have seen it recommended here a few times but I am in agreement on extraordinary attorney woo. It's basically the good doctor mixed with ally mc beal.

Very light and soppy but also really watchable.

Not sure how a reported US remake would do though tbh...

Couple of reviews up now empire etc...looks good.

Midnight mass was terrific.

Just finished Cobra Kai season 5 and even though at the end of season 4 I thought the show was done, the story had been told and there was no milk to be got from this particular cow, but for me this was the best season yet. Terry Silver was a great bad guy, Thomas Ian Griffith carried himself with a genuine air of menace. Kreese was scary dude back in the day but lets be honest, he cant do it physically any more, that much is obvious, but Terry silver looked like he could break you up. Johnny, as always is great, I dont know how William Zabka hasnt won an emmy or Golden globe at this stage. But for me the standout of the season was Chozen. Yuji Okumoto did an amazing job playing another former bad guy who'd been redeemed and now was using his skills for something good. Anyway I dont know where its gonna go from here but I'll be on board for sure.
