Anyone who loves Dogs, Netflix has a 6 episode documentary series about dogs called Dogs. They really are so amazing.

Really, I thought dogs would've been about cats, I might watch it so

Kids Should Be Made To Watch WONDER, they could learn a lot from it

My wife is a primary teacher & has been reading the book it's based on to her classes for years.

You're right, it's an excellent story to help build empathy in children

Perhaps adults should be made read/watch it as children aren't born without empathy.

Don’t think I’ve seen Outlaw King mentioned. It’s basically the Netflix sequel to Braveheart. It gets a 5 star rating and deservedly so.

Thought it was pretty poor, I was bored half way through. Watchable but that's about it

I started watching Shera and the Princesses of Power the other day and it's actually really enjoyable. It looks like a show for very young and very girly girls, and it doesn't hold back on being feminine, for the most part, but it's a more complex story than it appears and there's some nice humour in it too. Captain Seahawk is a fabulous character. Maybe one to watch with kids but a decent way to kill a bit of time on your own too.

(i have no knowledge of the original series to compare this to, so don't yell at me if you have strong feelings about that)

5 star rating from whom? Reviews are pretty average.

I think they were giving it 5 stars themselves.

may i recommend 'mudbound'

"Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm, a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not - charming and handsome, but he is haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, now battles the prejudice in the Jim Crow South."

That's actually incorrect. Empathy is a learned trait.

Empathy is shaped by genetics as well as environment.

Watched the first of Daniel Sloss's comedy specials last night, it takes him a while to get going but he's very funny. He got his break under Frankie Boyle and you can see that in fluency but I find with Boyle the controversy is the gag whereas Sloss is much smarter although he can come across as a bit preachy. I'll definitely watch the second one.

Watched season 3 over the weekend. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Watched The Christmas Chronicles today with the kids. Thought it was brilliant. Well made and funny in places. Kids loved it.

Private Life

Basically "East Coast Liberals: the Movie". While I would have preferred the authentic Baumbach version of this in which all the characters are narcissistic a**holes, it still works pretty damn well as a super indie dramedy about one middled-aged couple's odyssey through the American infertility industry. Best watched back to back with Rosemary's Baby, though tbh Satan raping you in your sleep to give birth to the antichrist has nothing on the the horror underpinning this film.

Watched it over the weekend and really enjoyed it.

Good performances, good dialogue and a delicate matter handled well.

Coincidentally, last night's Louis Theroux Altered States show was about open adoption and it tied in well.

Netflix re-releasing Neon Genesis Evangelion next year: a brilliant, landmark TV series that has been criminally unavailable in recent years.

The deal includes End of Evangelion - one of my favourite films, and as far as I’m concerned one of the greatest animated films ever made. This has been particularly hard to find over the last decade or so, so pretty big and exciting deal.

Little bit off topic but Prime send to be upping the quality of its movie content a bit. The likes of the Ritual, I, Tonya, Molly's Game, The Post, Detroit and Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot all added over the last week.

pixelburp · 27-11-2018 10:16AM

This the IE version of Prime, or UK?

I'm told the patriot (on prime) is very good. Intend to watch it soon, actually turned it on last night but decide it was too late to watch it. Or tbh my wife decided it was too late to watch it..

The wife watched all of the Patriot and loved it. I don't see a bit of it. Watched all the Exorcist and Homecoming which was really good - fantastic cinematography in it.

Nice to hear, that stuff has all been on the UK one for a month or two. Girl With all the Gifts was also added recently, though that may be UK only for now.

TV show wise: Sneaky Pete, Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Man in the High Castle should be on the irish one and are all well worth a watch imo.
