Exactly. They're the most watched. And people are coming on here moaning about the crap that other people watch as if that was the fault of Netflix. The mind boggles.

Just because the popularity of said shows is driving future content and not sure I like were it’s going.

HBO is a subscription service. The other shows you mentioned are on free channels. The viewing figures in the US are not a meaningful way of comparing them.

Of course it's not a direct tool, point being that popularity doesn't necessarily track with the conversation happening outside the viewership, or occupies a 1:1 ratio. Show X might be highly watched, but perhaps it has low impact in viral circles. Depends on what Netflix's metrics are with these things (had recently read that they're latest mantra, according to insiders, is 3 seasons then drop it, hence the raft of cancellations).

That's just for April, so not like it captures overall. And wonder what other factors Netflix take into account, considering Santa Clarita Diet is 6th yet has been cancelled.
Wonder how all those foreign shows do.

And as for upcoming shows, as was posted in the television forum, Happy! is back June 5th.

And based on the success of Umbrella Academy, Netflix have signed a first look deal with Dark Horse comics

The Society is getting solid reviews, much as a man in my early 40's I dislike watching tv shows with teenagers as the main protagonist :mad: I might give this one a go.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Easy. I like this type of observational tv.

I watched "The Wandering Earth" last night. I really liked it

I was not expecting to. For sure, there is allot lost in translation, but not as much as I expected. And for a movie about earth blasting towards Alpha Centauri, the science kind of holds up, as much as it can like. The SJW in me might say, there is dismal female representation here. Its a really damning indictment on Chinese culture

Watched wine country.
It was really silly and predictable but still a lot of fun, some great lines.

soap1978 · 11-05-2019 08:41PM

The people in easy are so annoying

Man Vs ManUre · 11-05-2019 10:26PM

Today I got stuck indoors without even being able to cook. Had sandwiches and snacks tho!!
I watched all of Bodyguard and Dirty John.
Both were very good. Although the acting in Dirty John was better, maybe bit too much shouty from Bodyguard main actor. Tho he was good overall.
Have to say Connie Britton is Avery underrated actor, she always delivers in the supporting role. Perhaps she is too attractive for an older woman?? Eric Ababa was superb in it. It was a great 6 hrs.

Next Gen is good and underrated. Great animation and world building; good humor, action and plot. Some people hated it just because one of the main characters is unlikable and the other one loves them (non romantically). This means there isn't a central character to comfortably identify with. Other criticisms were about the level of violence in a family movie (a plus in my book) and the (bleeped) bad language.

Best viewed on a big HDR TV if possible. The style of animation in the action scenes works best on a big screen, as it makes good use of scale and depth.

Started the Belgian drama Undercover. Very good so far.

Thanks for the mention, finished it last night.

Thought it was good show and definitely worth the watch.

Charlie19 · 12-05-2019 12:32PM

Stay well clear of Between Worlds, its absolute drivel.

Nicolas Cage should have been enough of a warning.

fin12 · 12-05-2019 04:02PM

Would highly recommend The 12th Man. Brilliant film. Great acting from all involved including Johnathen Rhys Myers. Very convincing as a nazi.

gmisk · 12-05-2019 05:08PM

I managed 2 and a bit episodes of the society...I cool premise and I am usually a sucker for a show like this but it just isn't dragging me in at all, acting is quite poor and the characters are paper thin.
Does it improve?

peteeeed · 13-05-2019 08:13AM

The Wife

Finished The Society last night and while I enjoyed it, I'm not sure I could recommend it. It's bubble-gum television with a few decent characters and a few nice storylines but it's a bit soap-opera and the "how and why" of the situation they find themselves in seems a bit of an after-thought to the drama / politics etc. I'll start a second series if there is one but get a feeling it'll be cancelled before it gets a chance to wrap up that aspect of the story.

CastorTroy · 13-05-2019 12:32PM

Film I always think of when I see The Society

Something tells me the series isn't as, um, interesting

Tony EH · 13-05-2019 09:20PM

Oh, right. I thought it was a series based on that film.

Black Mirror season 5 trailer. Coming June 5. Only 3 episodes.

https://twitter.com/blackmirror/status/1128599652817707009

Basq · 15-05-2019 10:34AM

3 episodes?! Aww man!

So Andrew Scott, Miley Cyrus and Anthony Mackie look to be 3 big names across them presumably.

EDIT: Actually, that's Topher Grace at the end too. Pretty unrecognisable!

New Home · 15-05-2019 10:47AM

Is that Topher Grace? EDIT: Beaten to it! I agree, he looks very different, it took me a while to recognise him.

15-05-2019 10:49AM

That Chambers is pretty good..I'm 5 or 6 episodes in..

Autecher · 15-05-2019 11:56AM

I think Black Mirror is shíte. I don't get people's obsession with it at all. I really tried with it too, I got up to the third episode of season 4 before I gave up. I think I only like 2 episodes of all the ones I have seen.

pixelburp · 15-05-2019 11:59AM

Wouldn't feel so strongly about it myself, but definitely bailed back in the Channel 4 era with a "seen one, seen them all" mentality.
