    I liked it but I thought Worthington was terribly miscast here.

    I actually really enjoyed him in it.

    What was the meaning of the last scene in the series, the red traffic light and the music getting louder and the professor one looking at him then looking at 5he red light.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 862 ✭✭✭Marje


    The shows I liked this year so far on Netflix

    Mindhunter
    Manhunt: Unabomber
    Godless
    Alias Grace
    Bright

    Still a load of other series to watch when I get the time.

    I think he told a similar story to Kaczynski when he first meets him about the lights controlling people or along those lines.

    We all know Black Mirror episodes are very subjective, and I personally feel that's what makes it a great series as a whole.

    Anyways, I've watched Four so far and it wouldn't be Black Mirror if we didn't rate our best to worst... here goes!
    1, USS Callister
    2, Arkangel
    3, Crocodile
    4, Metalhead

    Just watched The Foreigner, and I'll be honest, it was pretty decent. I expected it to be rubbish but it wasn't.

    Where was it filmed? The scene where Pierce Brosnan pulls up in his car and goes into the restaurant to meet Charlie Murphy, was that filmed in Belfast City Centre?

    Just finished Crocodile... sweet Jesus that was darkish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,776 ✭✭✭Knine


    Just watched The Climb. In subtitles but very pleasant film. I enjoyed it.

    And that's saying a lot with regards to Black Mirror. Right up there with Shut Up and Dance for the darkest episode IMO.

    Just looked up The Foreigner on IMDb and it says it's been banned in Northern Ireland?

    Spotlight is an excellent film

    Nope, that's just wholly incorrect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Surprised to see The Foreigner getting recommended here, I couldn't finish it. Brosnan's accent is atrocious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    Looks like ‘ friends ‘ is incoming

    I saw this earlier and I don't get it. That show has never not been on TV since it finished it's original run. Why would anyone get excited about it coming to Netflix?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,608 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Cheap filler for Netflix?


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


    I didn't know Joe Rogan was a comedian, his stand up gig Triggered is very good.

    Watched Nerve which isn't bad, its about a phone app were people do dares to earn money.

    Erased is a decent enough series from Japan, although the episode length is weird (around 30 minutes) compared to western dramas. It's a manga-derived crime/serial killer setup mixed with elements of time/travel similar to About Time, even if it's a bit obvious in spots.

    Not on any US station so maybe Netflix is releasing it worldwide?

    It's been on other Netflix for a while now. I remember them making a big deal of it launching in the US a while back.

    I've watched the first few episodes and surprisingly I'm enjoying it. Not my
    usual type of programme (especially with subtitles so have to put the phone down). You get drawn in quickly and start to care about what happens the characters.

    I think Joe is great, but not for his comedic skills.

    Heard really good things about Berlin Syndrome. Cate Shortland's other films are great. Looking forward to that one.

    Their Finest was one of my favourite films of 2017. Really enjoyed it.

    The Man with the Iron Heart is the other "operation anthropoid" film that was made, it was originally called HhHH, after the book it was based on. Jack O'Connell and Jack Reynor play the Cillian Murphy/Jamie Dornan roles. Obviously no cinema release for this one.

    Just finished Godless and it was excellent. The ending superb.. actually, you don't realise how much you miss a decent gritty Western until you've watched one.

    Certainly any new decent Westerns are few and far between.

    “Female is real, and it's sex, and femininity is unreal, and it's gender.

    For that to become the given identity of women is a profoundly disabling notion."
