    I've watched about 3 episodes of The Watcher so far and I'm actually enjoying it! But I was a fan of American Crime Story and some of the American Horror Stories. It seems like an interesting story especially if it's based on true events, although acting is a bit cheesy. Definitely watchable though IMO.

    The School for Good and Evil was filmed in Belfast, I think. Trailer looks like everything is CGI so I doubt there'll be any recognisable locations to spot.

    It is based on a true story: https://www.thecut.com/article/the-haunting-of-657-boulevard-in-westfield-new-jersey.html

    Haven't watched it but I assume they've had to add a lot of extra detail in order to make a series out of it.

    Finished watching the Watcher last night. Less said about it the better.

    I keep seeing chatter about The Watcher and getting it confused with Watcher, a film that came out only a couple of momths back and got a little bit of indie buzz for (supposedly) being a decent little indie Psychological Thriller.

    Dahmer was really good but a couple of episodes too long



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,823 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Great that unsolved mysteries is back and have watched the first two of season 3 and the first one is tragic and given that her friends don’t want to talk is interesting. I don’t think it was suicide either and I think it was made to look that way.

    the second episode I think there is something there because no way that many people saw the same thing and it nothing.

    The Stranger is worth a watch. I'd read some reviews that it was a convoluted mess but I didn't think so, I would recommend watching with subtitles though as there is a bit of mumbling dialogue going on

    Falling For Christmas the obvious highlight in November.

    Vatican Girl is the mind-bending story of Emmanuel Orlandi, a teenage girl kidnapped in 1983. She lived with her family in an apartment within the Vatican and her family had served the Papacy for 100 years.

    There are endless twists to this story - the KGB, the Mafia, international banking, pedophiles, the would-be assassin of the Pope. Well worth watching despite/because of the doubts that surround everything in this case. The ending is disappointing - it accuses the Vatican without solid evidence - but it is a fascinating series.

    My wife loves those absolutely awful Christmas films Netflix produce. She finds them entertaining in a so bad they're good kind of way. There's clearly an audience for them!

    Klaus and The Christmas Chronicles were good Netflix Christmas movies.

    So I had to laugh at the "The Soccer Football Movie" name. Was like they just had the one name then realised not everyone calls it that so had to add the other word.

    I'm not even kidding about the Lohan Christmas film, I'm genuinely looking forward to it. I really enjoyed The Knight Before Christmas from a few years back, so I'm hoping this is more on par with that than something like Dolly Parton's one from a few years back. (Don't get me wrong, they all have a certain cheese factor, but every now and then one just hits the right balance)
