    Godless - Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
    Dark - 3 episodes in, it's ok.
    Unabomber - Sam Worthington lets this down. He's not a good actor at all, but at least Paul Bettany excels as usual. The story is fascinating and it's worth a watch but has too many eureka moments. Would love if David Fincher was involved with a decent actor in the lead role.

    Dark doesn't really kick off until near the end, I nearly gave up on it but kept going

    just finished Inside number 9 last night. One or two hooky episodes but the ones that hit are classics Quite night in and Cold Comfort are really shocking but laugh out loud at the same time. Much preferred it to this seasons Black mirror which you could call another Anthology series.

    The new series has been on the last few weeks but I keep forgetting about it. Hopefully it goes on Netflix quite quickly.

    Inside Number 9 is excellent, it manages to go from dark comedy one episode to quietly horrific the next on a regular basis. One or two episodes are just OK but mostly it's very good. If you have iplayer access it's definitely worth watching the current series as it airs on the Beeb - however, I'd expect it to arrive on Netflix soon enough otherwise.

    Watched an episode on BBC2 last night. Eir don't tell you what season it is though which is ridiculous. Think I've watched the first 4 of Series 1 on Netflix and loved them. Must finish it off

    Edit: didn't see there was another page of posts. BBC2 airing Season 2. Excellent

    Has a lot of famous faces including Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman & Kevin Costner - I liked it.

    The Beeb currently have the 4th series airing at the moment, though I think they have recently shown all the previous series recently as they're all up on iPlayer. Luckily they are all done in one so no need to worry about the viewing order.

    Bad Day for the Cut added.

    Irish or Northern Irish, I'm sure. No idea if it's any good but showed at Sundance last year and Galway. Got decent enough reviews from a few places. It's a revenge thriller, I think. Currently has 100% RT approval off 8 reviews, if that kind of thing sways you.

    Coming on the 28th Jan. Looks interesting. Domhnall Gleeson is in everything these days :pac:

    Just finished Bright there and really enjoyed it, really interesting concept and worth a watch imho. Fair play to Netflix for making this and green lighting the sequel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    American Horror Story is amazing into the 3rd series now, not as good as first 2 but still pretty good. The second series is really good. Some class acting in it!

    It drops off drastically after season 2 unfortunately.

    The 4th season and 5th seasons are pretty good (4th is close to the first two, IMO) but the third season is a mess and I bounced right off the found footage aspect of the 6th after about 2 episodes and haven't felt any draw pulling me back. Hopefully the 7th season improves on it.

    The open house looks fun and trashy will defo check it out...odd I cant find any review for it though....

    Finished season 2 of Dirk Gently last night - very disappointed by the fact that it has been cancelled. Really enjoyed the series. Manhunt: Unabomber was fantastic as well - I think I'm in the minority in terms of enjoying Sam Worthington's portrayal of Fitz.

    Looking forward to watching the next season of Van Helsing - the first season was pure Sy-Fy trash but I thought it was great.

    Dirk Gently got cancelled?

    Nuts.

    Somebody here recommended Rake a few weeks back. It's a gem of a show! Would highly recommend!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,360 ✭✭✭Gloomtastic!


    Sailing through Weeds at the moment. It's funny, it's sweet and it can be moving. Also learnt something about banana skins at the beginning of season 2 that I never thought of before! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,004 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Was looking forward to Open House.

    Very disappointed with the result.

    So finished watching series 2 of Fargo, while I enjoyed it I don’t think it was as good as the first one, I didn’t warm to the characters like I did in first series. Still I will be watching series 3 when it hits Netflix later this month.

    Watched season 3.
    Better than season 2, naybe not as good as season 1, but still an excellent watch.

    Nowhere near as good as season 2 imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    Watched the 2nd series of Inside Number 9 over the last 2 nights. Quality. The train episode had me proper belly laughing. Highly recommend it for anyone who's never seen it

    Heard the Carnival one is brilliant alright. The 3rd gets better but it a bit meh at the start, was thinking of skipping it also. It has a certain charm but. The chemistry between actors in each series is amazing there is very few that you would say are bad actors. Evan Peters is a great actor each series he doesn't quiet play the same role, Jessica Lange is just badass but she sticks to her acting style which is amazing too, anything she is in she just draws you in.

    The open house is one of the worse movies I have ever seen.

    Avoid at all costs.

    Certainly the worst ending to a horror I have ever seen.

    Hope it’s good.
