Little Boy Blue: Season 1
Jeff Pope’s sensitive true crime drama explores the murder of an innocent child amid a wave of gang violence. The child in question? 11-year-old Rhys Jones, who was shot in a car park on the way to football practice. We learn about the murder at the same time as mother Melanie (Sinead Keenan), and the drama doesn’t let up from there, gently teasing out the impact of Rhys’ death in moving fashion. Stephen Graham is superb as DS Dave Kelly, who leads the police investigation.

Has anyone heard about the new film from the director of Train to busan? (its called psychokinesis) due to be added soon

If your not expecting much its enjoyable enough but with the expectations high based on the director previous outing "Train to Busan" and a very talented female lead in Shim Eun kyung its a bit of a let down.

The actions scenes are good but the plot is nothing really new. Baddie developers uses gangsters to evict residents and tear down neighbourhood, absent father discovers superpowers. Sounds like a mashup of two 80's Hollywood movie plots. The only unique part is that Jung Yu mi(pregnant lady in Train to Busan) gets to play her first baddie.

The Rain looks really interesting to me...that longer recent trailer looked very promising!

I saw it recommended here a while ago but Operation Odessa is great. The characters involved are very likeable and one or two stories they told about the whole escapade were hilarious.

There's been so many great documentaries and shows about that particular era stemming from Florida and the cartel activity there during the time.

Gave up on The Alienist.

F@cked up characters and even more f@cked up plot. Makes you wonder how people who think like that are taken seriously.

On episode 3 of Lost in Space. Such light relief compared to the above.

I'd say the opposite to you. Lost in Space was such a disappointment. It looked great but I didn't give a toss what happened to them. The Alienist was excellent, grim but intelligent and gripping with really good characters. I think it's my favourite show of the year so far.

Would it make sense to renew it? It's a pretty self contained story. I don't think I bother watching a second series tbh, it kind of unravelled a bit at the end for me.

Basically sums up the show for me.
Wouldn't watch season 2 either.

Happy! season 1
Ex-cop and now-hitman Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) accidentally uncovers a secret about the Scaramucci crime family led by Mr. Blue (Ritchie Coster) and nearly pays for the discovery with his own life. Upon waking up at the hospital after getting shot, Nick finds that he can now see a blue unicorn who calls himself Happy (Patton Oswalt). Happy explains that he's the imaginary friend of Nick's estranged daughter Hailey (Bryce Lorenzo) and that Nick must rescue her from a Very Bad Santa (Joseph D. Reitman). With Happy's help, Nick hunts down Very Bad Santa and, at the same time, tries to get ahead of Mr. Blue and his men to save his own skin. "Happy!" also stars Lili Mirojnick as Det. Merry McCarthy, Medina Senghore as Amanda Hansen, and Patrick Fischler as Smoothie.

I watched the full series of Happy a few weeks back, it is brilliant.

I finished the Alienist last night and, I must say, I really didn't want it to finish. The casting is top notch.. Daniel Brühl is a brilliant Kreizler. I read the books years ago and thought there is no way they will get the depth, the darkness, the edgy historical feel of 1890s New York. They came very close.. hope they make more with the same quality and depth. I would recommend the books too, really good.

Lost in Space, I have to finish watching.. but am losing interest. They are dragging out the plot and the mad Doctor annoys the hell out of me. She is a bit OTT and, as a result, the story doesn't run as smoothly as it should and the characters are not convincing. Anyone else think it ridiculously glossy?

Watched Carrie last night. Never seen it before.

Strange movie, but kind of enjoyable at the same time.

It's fupping deadly. Dirty pillows.

I gave up on it about half way into season 1 when it was on RTE as it was so cheesy. I've since read that it really gets going not long after I abandoned it and there seems to be unanimous phrase for it so I intent to get back to it and see what the fuss is about.

I actually give it more credit than that, especially the later series. I don't think it's bad at all. Final series still isn't on Irish Netflix by the way.

Are we ever likely to get the final season?

I'm on the third season of Gotham at the moment and really enjoying it. E4 are currently showing the 4th season but was told it should arrive on netflix come October sometime. Never a show id really considering watching but the villain's are all well cast especially Robin Taylor as penguin and Camren Bicondova as Cat girl, I nearly gave up after episode 8 or 9 but gets so much better when they decide to ditch the episode of the week format for more story and character arcs.
