I gave it 15mins, absolutely utter rubbish. A toned back / dumbed down Jimmy Carr just doesn't work whatever the shows format. But the guests were terrible, everyone came off as awkward and the laughs were forced. You could tell it was primarily aimed at a US audience.

Finished this earlier. Brilliant watch. Great insight to the mess and shambles that went on behind the scenes. I dont think itd have worked out as well if things had went to plan.

I'd recommend the four year plan about QPR , incredible watch

Us and them. Romance/Drama set in Beijing around Chinese New Year. Possibly the only modern Chinese film of genuine quality. It has a perfect score on rotten tomatoes but it has plenty of faults, most notably teetering between emotional and mawkish too often. Worth a watch if you have any interest in a glimpse into modern Chinese life.

Thought Derry Girls was on Netflix! Can't find it...

Which Netflix have you?

I have Irish one and often am told shows are on NEtflix and can never find them.

Must be UK ?

Rake is really really funny. Drops off for the last season but 4 season of quality laughs. I’m really surprised more people haven’t seen it

I've recommended it to a few people. Just starting the final season myself now and there's a big dip in quality. First four seasons were excellent though.

Started watching Cuckoo, lighthearted fun.

Did anyone watch The Casketeers yet ?
I thought it was lovely the way this Undertakers business handled the needs of the customers .

Also eye opening to learn how people of a different culture/race conduct their funeral services/burials .

But , Francis , he had me in knots laughing , funny , funny man !

Watched the first episode of The Fix, it's not good but it was kind of fascinating. It's an American production and they don't really do panel shows. The budget is obviously quite low and it feels like a poor multi-cam sitcom; the audience's laughter feels forces and the camera keeps cutting to other panellists for reaction shots to what's just been said. I won't be watching another episode.

Watched Bird Box, it's not bad with a good sense of tension but I spent the entire movie remarking on how much Sandra Bullock looks like Michael Jackson.

Ha, that's what me and the missus were saying as well. Pretty off putting.

I enjoyed the film beside that.

Don't bother with Escape Plan anyway.. As ridiculous as the first film was, it was a bit of mindless fun that saw Stallone and Schwarzenegger really co star a film together for the first time. Solid 6/10 leave your brain at the door stuff.

Hades, is a poor B movie starting Batista and 50 cent bigged up using Stallone's name to try sell it, to what is essentially a cameo appearance by him. Script is poor, acting is poor, visuals are poor.. it's just an all round stinker.

Its pure garbage ,I watched the first one and your right its a watchable.The second is a mess.

Looking good. My cynicism reserves have taken a hit over the past few days. This should top me up nicely going into 2019

Street Smart is leaving the 1st of Jan. Seen it when it first arrived on netflix, not a prefect movie but enjoyable Morgan Freeman is brilliant as Fast Black one of the few times hes ever played a really unpleasant character Oscar nominated.
