Well that is a bit of a blow. Honestly it is getting harder to justify keeping Netflix.

Using Prime a hell of a lot more than Netflix these days. The Boys, Halt and Catch Fire, Parks and Rec, Homecoming, Life in Pieces...

Hadn't heard of Homecoming, read the description. Sounds very intriguing. Cheers for that

I have only watched series one but I really really liked it very stylish and twisty, not for everyone I would say, I think same guy who did Mr Robot.

Also sounds interesting, but I'm always reluctant to start a show with so many hours of watching (without some glowing recommendations I should add).

Homecoming = 17 episodes of 30 mins.
Halt & Catch Fire = 40 episodes of 60 mins.

Put me off watching Suits for years until lots of people advised it was riveting.

Halt and cAtch fire is very underrated, it’s in a different leAugue to suits. Homecoming is great and you can do a season over a weekend easy.

Halfway through the first season of Halt and Catch Fire and it's the best show I've seen in a long while.

Mr Crispy

I have my fingers crossed for this - the Battle of the Teuteborg Forest.

I think I'm having a slow day - is that a series or film?

Watched Julie and Julia, big shame they didn't just ad pat My life in France properly since the Julia Child bits are just orders of magnitude more interesting than the Julie bits in the modern day.

Watched Cuties. First of all, I thought it was a documentary! Secondly, the reaction, as predicted, is way over the top. I cannot believe that people are asking for this show to be banned, and that it's ratings have been jeopardised. There is so much more to the movie than the cover photo and clips online. Guarantee 90% of the naysayers have not seen it. Should any movie that someone finds offensive be banned? Should movies and tv shows about rape be banned because people find it uncomfortable and unsettling? Movies are made to open people's minds to other cultures and other people's lives. Who is to even say that the movie is condoning the sexualisation? As other posters have pointed out, watch the movie for yourself and then make your mind up on it. But please watch it before jumping on the bandwagon.

Tell us what you thought of it rather than what we shouldn’t think of it. Is it uncomfortable to watch? What is the point of it? Are underage people exploited? Big difference between a film about rape where people aren’t raped and a film where underage children act in a sexual way. One is fake and one is real.

There have been a few reviews posted on this thread already and they all seem to agree the hype/hysteria is absolute rubbish.

Enola Holmes is good and set up for a sequel.

Nothing wrong with a solid 7.

Aisling(",)

I just finished Trinkets. A teen drama about 3 very different girl who meeting in a shoplifters anonymous meeting.
It's only two seasons long and didn't feel madly over the top for a teen drama except for

stealing and crashing the car and Elodie running off with Sabine

The episodes are only around half an hour each so you get through it quickly.I enjoyed it.Of the 3 girls Moe was my favourite.

Also watched Jack Whitehall:Travels with my Father, I know its staged and that Jack plays up the posh soft character and Micheal the grumpy old man but I really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud at the drag and emu sections and I felt there was a good bit of heart in it when Micheal was talking about Molly.

I was in tears laughing at Micheal's story when Jack was in the bath about Molly trying to smooch him.

Watched Juliet, Naked a while ago and found it pretty enjoyable. It's based on a Nick Hornby book so if you liked High Fidelity, About a Boy, Fever Pitch etc it's worth a look.
