    I saw some recommendation in the last day or so, about an 80's? film about a siege, holding off some type of gang, it had a three letter title, and for the life of me, I can't find it. Anyone any ideas?

    If it's definitely a 3-letter title I reckon it's VFW. It came out a couple of years ago, but is clearly echoing the likes of Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13.

    This is probably it.

    Very 80's B-movie vibe to it - but it's a lot of fun

    Yeah, very much so - not quite as good as Carpenter's best films, but clearly aiming for a similar feel which is no bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

    ^ I wonder what I’ll try watching next?

    Finished series 3 of Kominsky Method. A bit surreal in a lot of ways but still great.


    Finished this last night - great show , very clever writing with great funny 1 liners !

    "Believe Me" was very well done I thought. Not an easy watch but a crazy story.

    I wasn't sure about this when I saw it was a TV movie but a solid 6-7/10.

    Found the child actor kind of freaky. Like she was a short 30 year old.

    The scientific documentary on Black Holes is really good. Quite a fascinating watch and little wonder that scientists are an obsessive lot.

    Just to echo the love for inside, what a singularly amazing piece of work. 'welcome to the internet' is possible the most sinister, fascinating thing I've ever heard and I can't stop listening to it.

    Personally thought the second half was the best of it, but 'white woman's Instagram' really brought out the laughs for me.

    Here I am, 2 or 3 days later, considering unplugging the router and leaving the kids be kids. I can't stop playing this and thinking about it

    I've been watching Love & Anarchy. Swedish show about a woman who gets involved in a series of silly dares with a co worker. I know a few people watched and liked Home for Christmas last year. It has a somewhat similar vibe to that, I think. 5 eps in and I'm enjoying it.

    There's a thread for it on the TV forum, but it was released with almost zero fanfare insofar as I can figure. I caught the first episode and I was quite impressed. Bittersweet, very humane. Hopefully doesn't fall too far into the traps of post-apocalypse stories.

    Just hope it doesn't get cancelled after one series...

    There's the WB logo at the start, so doesn't seem to be a full "Netflix Original", and I guess if Netflix says no, it can be shopped elsewhere.

    Its backdrop of a global pandemic isn't fantastic timing mind you, coupled with the aforementioned, apparently thin marketing. The child actor at the centre of it has been amazing so far.

    Is there anything like "Believe Me"? Can be outside Netflix too.

    What age would it be suitable for, kids wise?

    The age rating is 12 on Netflix.
    But not sure there is much that would scare younger kids.

    Yup, I've finished it and there's nothing shown onscreen so anything around 10-12 would be fine I'd say.

    Overall, really enjoyed it, supposedly it's much more toned down from the comics but given the recent trend of graphic violence, I found that refreshing. Child actor is as good as I've seen.

    'Unbelievable' on Netflix. Based on a true story.

    It's based on a Vertigo (an imprint of DC, who are owned by WB) comic series from about 10 years ago or so. It looks like it was a WB TV production with Netflix commissioning it (it was originally going to be on Hulu). The comic was pretty good, so I'd be hopeful that an adaptation would also be good.

    Very suitable for my 12yo, and maybe down to 10. A few dark themes that we've all seen before but well handled.
    This was a fantastic series that the critics loved as well. There has to be a second series.
