    Aots? Is that a real word?

    Thought season 5 was ok. Gets a bit complicated to follow in the middle but finishes well.

    Watched "Happy Endings" the other night.

    Had a bit of a Woody Allen / French farce feel to it with a lot of humanity thrown in. Three separate stories that eventually connect and a great cast.


    Highly recommended (if that sounds like your sort of thing)

    Once I read Woody Allen I scratched that off my list. :D

    No Expanse Season 2 in the July list that I can see, sigh
    :(

    Yeah, this is really weird, especially after the supposed report way back when that'd stream weekly.

    On the upside, it has definitely been renewed for Season 3 so its current absence from Netflix hasn't hurt its existence too much so far...

    The previous showrunner stepped down and I got the impression that this, coupled with some rumoured rewrites following Trump's election, has led to needing to wrap up a bunch of subplots faster than expected.

    No bad thing, tbh, as Seasons 3 and 4 had absolutely glacial pacing and enough plot for one season between them.

    Watched the first half. The Hogan case is a large part of it but it's all also a look at how the media can be shut down by those that can afford to and the issues that go with this. Pretty interesting so far.

    I watched it and enjoyed but I'm very conflicted after watching it.


    As you can see both sides and both are right in there own right.


    Gawker has printed some awful non newsworthy stuff and deserved to get its comeuppance.


    The way it got its comeuppance is quite scary for a free press to survive in the future.

    Some good movies leaving at the end of this month. Picture Bride one of the first foreign movies I watched on Netflix and one of Toshirô Mifune last. Melena staring Monica Bellucci (looking her finest I must say :p) is also leaving, great movie.

    I watched Sand Castle over the weekend, a Netflix original that's not your average war story set in Iraq. Nicely lacking in jingoism and cliches and worth a watch if you're looking for an war movie.

    Kids having playdates coming into the summer is giving me lots of TV time. Betting on Zero is a great documentary about Bill Ackman, billionaire hedge fund guy, taking a gamble on shorting Herbalife who he claims is a massive pyramid scheme and the whole story around it. Won't go too much into detail but worth catching, 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I watched the documentary that's on Netflix about it a while ago so feel I know the whole story, do you think it's still worth catching before it goes?

    Yes, the film is unique in the telling of the story.

    I found the film very disappointing.

    Usually when that's the case though they say that on the list.

    Episode 1 of season 4 aired on Sunday night in the States and it appeared on Netflix here Monday morning no more episodes have aired.

    Netflix also announced it on Twitter that it would air weekly like previous seasons.

    Netflix somewhat cheekily label a number of series as "Netflix Originals" when actually they just have first-airing rights here, after it airs on a different US network. "Better Call Saul" is the best known example - it's an AMC show but you'd be forgiven for thinking Netflix make it!

    It doesn't have the Netflix Original branding for whatever reason. Same with some other shows (Once Upon a Time, Pretty Little Liars, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) that they release weekly. Why they don't when Saul and Riverdale and so on do is probably just the whims of the owners.

    Okja will be added today at some point, as you may be aware. It is directed by a talented gentleman whose last film didn't even get released over here despite being excellent, so getting to see this will be nice even if it's a shame to see it instantly relegated to the small screen.

    Additionally, Aquarius has been added. The Brazilian film may well be one of the best of the year so far, in no small part thanks to a tour de force performance from Sonia Braga. It is a long, considered character study in the best way, with moments of real poetry and grace.
