    finished it earlier this week, Its entertaining fluff, and i was left very conflicted on one character by the end of it, but yeah, theres worse ways to spend a few hours.

    Watching season 2 of Ozark at the moment, still really enjoying it. - off topic, the architect who designed the house they're living in should be shot, the layout and lighting of it is a constant source of annoyance to me. its half in darkness all the time!

    I'm on an Ozark bender atm. Only started it a few days ago and am almost half way through season 2. Better than I thought it would be though I'm not really convinced about Jason Bateman in a serious role. I really look forward to any scenes with the Ruth Langmore character in it, played by the stunning Julia Garner.

    I tried watching Ozark when it was first released and I just didn't like it. Gave it another shot this week following the good reviews season 2 got, and I'm liking it a lot more now. Not sure why I didn't like it first time around. Very hard to watch in a bright room however, almost every scene is darker than dark.

    Is anyone else watching Atypical, just got around to starting season 2 yesterday. It really is one of the best Netflix original shows they have.

    Love it
    Finishing season 2 tonight sadly

    Its a nice break from crime/horror/documentaries for me

    Exact same as myself and the wife. We watch crime and drug shows all the time, but Atypical is just fantastic easy watching. The main actor is excellent aswell.

    A true "rollercoaster" of an hour long show!

    And the sister which is why her storyline evolved away from him this year. The show is more ensemble these days.

    Paige is great too.

    Yup binge watched the 2nd series in a day. I really like it. Michael Rapaport is great in it. I like how he played a struggling actor in True Romance :pac:

    Zahid is a brilliant character. Love his scenes.

    Yeah have a fire stick which I usually use. Was just thinking when too lazy to switch over to it from the PC.

    On another note, I need to work on getting through my list. I'm sure others here have larger lists, and reading this thread isn't helping since I add more based on this thread.

    Now if only they'd add the second Purge
    The purge is very good how lucky was your man to have the two lady’s at the same time.

    If you can stomach Ricky Gervais then watch Special Correspondents.



    Its a decent comedy.

    Wiener, because it’s morbidly fascinating to see how many self-inflicted wounds one broken, delusional politician can endure and still hopelessly soldier on.

    Jiro Dreams of Sushi, because it’ll make you very hungry and make you appreciate food (plus a small group of people who dedicate their lives to perfecting it) more.

    Whoo-hoo!! Best show on TV :-)

    I watched that show so many times and each time I see something new. The jokes and puns in the background are brilliant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,546 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Only the Brave is well worth a watch even if it is half an hour too long imo
    Some story though

    I was completely unaware of it and I’d advise anyone intending on watching it to go in blind as well

    Didn't realise that was the live action Bleach movie that was added today. Though think reviews are pretty mixed.
    Probably among the best CGI I've seen in a movie; it's as close to flawless I think you can get today. However if you've not read the story/seen the series before I think parts of the story will be lost on the viewer as there's a much larger universe and meta around it that would fly over the heads of people not knowing the Bleach universe (for example how is Chad connected to Ichigo etc. and of course the ending is only halfway through the story arch and if played out in a second and/or third movie would be epic). As a Bleach fan I'm very pleased however and would recommend it to Anime fans at the very least.

    Just finished Ozark season 2. Would give it a solid 7/10. Has its faults but I still enjoyed it. Some decent performances particularly from the female actors. Laura Linney, Julia Garner, Lisa Emery were all pretty good and great casting to have Janet McTeer as the lawyer.

    Bit O/T so I apologise but just doing a bit of a rewatch of The IT Crowd and getting these infamous Netflix ads between every episode:

    Is that a "continue" option which would allow you to skip the ad?

    Yeah, it's basically like YouTube's "Skip this ad" but the only difference is you're paying a premium for this! :mad:
