1516 was a much more critical year

1521 fairly life changing too.

Tech = evil is a common but highly simplistic reading of Black Mirror. Most episodes are about how people aren't mature enough to deal with technology or how a corrupt society will use powerful technologies in corrupt ways or what happens when technology goes wrong. The idea that it's just saying tech is evil over and over again is just false. It's far more about human failings (and yes, how tech can exasperate them) than technological ones. If there's a central message of the show it's probably that we should be wary of technological utopianism. That's not the same thing as saying tech is evil.

I tried Black Mirror but it just didn't pull me in. I could see what they were trying to do but I just found it forced and all a bit too much the same.

I really enjoyed it until the last end scene of S1 which really just sucked the intrigue, mystery and suspence out of the whole thing for me and turned it into another

evil corporation wants to rule the world cliche

We sat down to watch this as a family and thought it was good. But the ending has to be one of the worst ever - WTF! :mad:

I watched it last night, thought it was fine. Granted I watched it after coming back from a work thing, so had a couple of drinks. Didn't think anything was up with the ending though, can I ask what didn't you like about it?

Also, Michael J Fox said "Great Scott" which was amazing!

Watching a Belgian crime series, Undercover, based on true events. Worth a watch, have 2 episodes to go but so far so good. When you start watching it though Netflix dubs English over the original Flemish language. Would recommend putting on English sub-titles or you feel like you are watching Kung Pow

Blitzing through Schitts Creek at the moment and finding it to be very funny but what a horrible family they are.

Watched one episode of Schitts Creek, and that was enough for me.

Just didn't find it as funny as I was told it was, plus the son! Ever have a character act in a certain way that really put you off watching a TV show? Well, the son has done it for me.

I lasted half of one episode

pixelburp · 19-05-2019 10:10PM

I made it through to season 2 and ... it's ok. A few funny lines here and there, but not quite getting the love from others. The characters are almost irredeemably self-centred, so hard to see where the show is going to go. I actually quite like the son as he seems one of the few to have found at least some semblance of happiness in his lot.

I have to admit I was very close to turning it off early in 1st episode but I'm glad I stuck with it.

For me, I enjoyed the first season but it really got into its stride in the second. The family are a bit self absorbed at times but generally quite good people, adapting to their circumstances. Strong supporting cast too.
For those who dropped it after one episode, would all the positive comments make you try again? Plenty of poor pilots, or starts, to great shows. Reminds me of a previous thread as to how long you give a show before giving up.

Ilovethe bonesofyou · 19-05-2019 10:30PM

Watched I think you should leave in one sitting tonight. Brilliant and hilarious.

Gadgetman496 · 20-05-2019 12:12AM

May not be a Netflix show but I'm wondering if any of you know the name of this show?

The opening of the first episode showed a recently widowed woman being shown around a real old house\mansion by an auctioneer type guy, she was wearing all black with a black hat & Vail and was thinking of using it for some sort of boarding school.

Cheshire Cat · 20-05-2019 07:38AM

That was the remake of Picnic at Hanging Rock. Very enjoyable!

I haven't watched this show, but maybe Parks and Rec is a good example the first season is pretty poor, but it is pretty excellent after that IMO

And then there is me. Dutch.

So there is French, Flemish dialect and Dutch spoken.

So i have the English subs on because there arent Dutch subs on netflix uk\ire which is fine for the parts that are in french and Flemish dialect but confusing as hell for the Dutch parts.
It is a challenge....

But at least it is realistic and not like in Baptiste where the bbc thought they could get away with Flemish people playing Dutch police officers.
