Hotel Armitas - rubbish, not my taste at all

The vanished - ok, nothing to get excited about.

Standard of films on Netflix is extremely poor at the moment

Is the hotel a spin off from John Wick, saw the trailer and reminded me of that, Judy Foster bank balance must have been creeping into the red

Standard of telly on all platforms isn't up to much at the moment,

Netflix doesn't need to have good stuff at the mo. Everyone is praising Bridgerton. (See Nicola Coughlan on the Late Late Show?)

'It's A Sin' on Channel 4 is the best thing I've seen on telly in months!

What type of show is it?

I was just thinking could Netflix add concerts to their catalogue. I watched a simply red one recently on tv was really good, just wondering why they don’t add concerts to their libabry.

Thought it was tripe myself. Decent idea there but so many holes in the story, just so so bad

Ok. I'm not really concerned about plotholes. At the end of the day, I just wanted to be entertained for a couple of hours. And I was. Watching something suspenseful, not knowing how it was going to unfold. I won't be watching it again, but ticked the box for me.

Spoiler

The only ridiculas thing for me is that the Park owner has a room full of child porn in his property (and in which he himself stars in), and there's a girl after going missing 50 yards away. Obviously, the property is going to be searched. But he still has the videos there 5 days later. I'm sure there's lots of silly little things wrong in the film, but I don't watch to critically analyse things like that.

Coming to Netflix on the 24th of February I see.

I love Tom Hardy & was looking forward to it when first I heard about it but it's supposed to be absolutely brutal

There's lot of good tv shows on netflix, especially non-english, but the film selection really is poor.

Plenty of good films, I think some of us have just watched them all If you were new to streaming you wouldn't know where to start.

Pacifico

The Vanished was hilariously bad!

Actually I'm watching Colossal now, which is ... interesting. It might even be very good.

They want Customers who keep renewing their subscription so they offer series.
I found the selection of films just not good enough to renew my subscription.
I'm not their target market. Both they and I know it.

Same as yourself thought it would be great. Lasted 20 minutes of it, god it was awful.

I watched The Dig tonight. I love Carey Mulligan and will watch anything she does, but I wasn't expecting too much from this, to be honest.
But I was pleasntly surprised by how engaging it is and it's very moving too. It's beautifully shot and a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

From the director who brought you the 2015 Fantastic Four.

All that fandango

Looking forward to checking out Superstore. From the look of it, it reminds me of Rostered On, which was brilliant.

I have seen some great BBC shows on netflix, collateral, unforgotten, are 2 that spring to mind. Currently watching the informer as well and agree it's great.
BBC do good drama.

The Informer is a fantastic series. Loved it.
Strike on iplayer is worth a watch too. (Sorry I know this is a Netflix discussion).

I watched it last week (because of this thread) and was so bored by it There's always one.

It's been said already, but steer clear of Outside the Wire. It's complete muck. It could have been so much better.

I genuinely thought half way through that I twigged how it will end, with it all being an AR/VR/mind game to make the young fella realise what it's really like, but as it went on it became clearer that no, they intended to keep it "real" and just majorly fcuked it up. I watched until the end just to be sure there was no surprise, and I really should have given up way earlier.

Terrible film.

Watched this evening and loved it.
Didn’t realise it was a true story ‘til the end-amazing.

Agree wholeheartedly, great film although the sideline love interest with lily Jones rather took from the real story and wasn't necessary.

I think they wanted to add to the idea of life being fleeting and grabbing the good things while you can and all that kind of thing. Young love on the eve of war and all that. I didn't mind it.

Unfortunately agree. It had potential and there are some really cool design aspects but the film itself is as flat as a pancake, particularly after the half-way point it's a complete slog to get through.

Not even one I'd give a pass to based on popcorn entertainment value, just a bad movie.

Tom Mann Centuria

Outside the Wire is indeed toilet. Anthony Mackie hasn't really shown he can lead a TV series or film at all for me, will be interesting to see how the Falcon series goes on Disney.

There's a bunch of them on Prime.

I love the nostaglia of watching concerts on TV the days of crowds and no social distancing, recently watched Dolly at Glastonbury and Coldplay in Brazil...
