    I finished watching Quicksand yesterday and I have to say that it's brilliant, very gripping. It's about an 18 year old girl accused of being involved in a school shooting.

    I know they're also rolling in the Fox back catalogue too, and as much as I like Marvel/Star Wars, I wouldn't buy another TV package for it.

    (Not very) hot take: The Mandalorian will be that years most pirated TV show :)

    Turn up Charlie on Netflix. Idris Elba comedy-ish series .

    I'm enjoying it
    Also recently started Peaky Blinders. I'd not bothered before, with it being a BBC series that friends & acquaintances who have poor taste have said was good. But it's great! I'm an episode into S2.

    Was ready to throw in the towel on Sabrina season 2 after the first 4 episodes were so boring and heavy handed with their social commentary but it has really picked up nicely since episode 5.

    I have watched Special on Netflix, it's a nice easy watch.
    It's about a gay guy with CP it's based on his own memoir.
    Episodes are only about 15-20 mins long.

    This documentary is quite grim and depressing but worth a watch (it's on Netflix).

    I'm unconvinced that burning down your own neighbourhood and local businesses and murdering innocent bystanders helps anyone who's trying to escape poverty and oppression. :o

    Orange pilled.

    Watched ‘ Black Summer’ - very odd zombie apocalypse nonsense which tries desperately to be different from the rest by just being odd. Too much of that handheld camera bouncing around crap with gives me a headache. Stayed with it, not entirely sure why. Won’t bother if a new series comes out.

    Upstart Crow is very good. It's a sitcom about Shakespeare, who's played by David Mitchell. harry Enfield plays his Dad. There's also a great send up of Ricky Gervais in it.

    Haven't seen that bit yet, but I looked it up and there is no CGI used, if that's what you mean.

    Just finished watching Bitter Daisies, a Spanish murder mystery. It's very good, it can be a little far fetched in parts and the acting a little hammy but it's a good storyline and it keeps you interested. There's a lot going on in it.

    In its first-quarter earnings report Tuesday, the streaming company revealed that in the first four weeks on the service, Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s comic book adaptation of Umbrella Academy was watched by 45 million households.

    Following the release of numbers for Bird Box last quarter, which was watched by 80 million households in its first month, Netflix today also revealed that The Highwaymen, starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, was watched by more than 40M households in its first month. This was surpassed by action heist movie Triple Frontier, starring Ben Affleck and directed by J.C. Chandor, which hit 52M households in the same time period.

    Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, about the controversial music festival, was watched by over 20 million member households in its first month. Netflix projected that nature docu Our Planet, which launched this month, will be viewed by over 25M households in its first month of release..

    This comes after Netflix last quarter gave out viewership stats for six series, including You, Sex Education and Elite. The streaming giant opted to volunteer that You and Sex Education had each been seen by more than 40 million households in their initial weeks. Spanish series Elite had been seen by more than 20 million households, the company said.

    Netflix considers an episode as “viewed” if at least one episode has been watched at least 70% of the way through.

    I thought the first scene was lame and predictable and a cheap laugh that went directly against the spirit of the show (spoiler alert: the handicapped guy falls over, guffaw) but other than that it's not too bad. Though I thought the title was an odd choice too, 'special' having usually been a euphemism for mental retardation or down syndrome, not CP, and also sort of an outdated cliche. The way they dress him especially at the start also is very cliche 'special person', like exactly what the brother of Cam Diaz wears in Theres Something About Mary, backpack, large headphones, hat etc. Why? He's not mentally retarded?
