    I wasn't even aware of that show, might have to give it a look going by the above.

    It's been trending on Twitter since it was released and is getting glowing reviews across the board. It's got a fairly well known cast too. Weird how Netflix don't seem to be promoting it at all?

    I think I'm one of the only people in existence that prefers the newer Blade Runner

    It was on my home screen when I opened the app on Friday so they're marketing it. Their algorithms are odd though. For example, they didn't mention Tuca and Bertie to me, despite me watching all of BoJack Horseman (they share writers). In fact nobody seemed to know about it, leading the show creator to point out that Netflix's advertising algorithm can suck.

    First I heard of that Tuca and Bertie one was when it got cancelled.
    Their Twitter has been pushing Top Boy all weekend, which is fine, but I feel like that's a thing people have been waiting for anyway and probably doesn't need the extra push.

    Suppose it's good if a show finds its own audience and generates its own hype, like Unbelievable seems to have done.

    I don't think Unbelievable was being pushed on my feed at all but then again even if it was, on the surface it's probably the kind of show that I wouldn't give a second look to and just didn't notice. It's only the glowing reaction here that has me piqued.

    Watched Unbelievable in one sitting today. Possibly the best show that Netflix have produced.

    Great series, hate when I run through something so quickly.

    Watched the i land over wkend, I dunno, I found myself watching to see would something actually happen but it never really did, it wasn't too bad in fairness but I thought the acting was was poor enough, I've seen worse shows though

    This is due next month. Not sure that I see an entire series worth of story from the core premise, but it has some decent talent behind it, and Rudd can be engaging with the right material. Hopefully it'll pull at the same threads as Rick and Morty rather than go down the Multiplicity route! Aisling Bea co-stars.

    The recommendation algorithm seems to be utterly useless. 3 months after watching (and giving a thumbs down to) "In a Relationship" we're still seeing it at the top of the home page when we log in. :mad:

    No RT reviews, IMdb 53%- terrible reviews elsewhere. Described by one as "Almost feels like a spoof".

    American Horror Story Apocalypse was on TV ages ago. New season starts next week probably hit Netflix next year.

    Yeah the accents and lingo are a bit heavy at times but I can make it out mostly. I'm only on episode 7 so don't know how it ends but I hope there is a season 4.

    Not much added today; just that 2018 Robin Hood 'adaptation' by the looks of things.

    Four episodes into Unbelievable and all I can say is that the comments on here were spot on.

    Wouldn’t have even noticed it except for this thread

    Seriously? It's been the big header/banner ad on my acct all week I cant avoid it!

    Might give it a go. Was so stuck for something to wstch I finally gsve Breaking Bad a try. Have to say I always had a feeling it was overrated and while it's decent I dont think my suspicions were wrong so far. Find the dialogue and performances a bit overcooked/hacky at times esp Aaron Paul. Cranston is great but everything else is a bit cliche. Ive heard people saying it's up there with the Sopranos not a hope, the Sopranos every episode was like a well made film, BB doesn't feel like that to me, it's just a long TV show and the dialogue is nowhere near as clever or funny. But good enough I'll probably keep going with it.

    Might start Top Boy as well though I dunno if I can stomach that 'innit bruv' type banter it really grates on me.

    No spoilers but I am deeply in love with Detective Duvall.

    3 episodes in, but another +1 for Unbelievable.

    Considering the subject matter, you’d never think that something like this could be entertaining, but it is, and not only that, it’s actually something you want to binge. Even if this wasn’t a fact based story, I’d be totally into it, but... it is, which makes it all the more impressive.

    Crazy that they could pull something like this off.

    It’s a masterclass in storytelling. Bravo Netflix and everyone involved.

    Just finished Unbelievable. It hadn't popped up for me previously but I really enjoyed it.

    Love finding a nugget of a series like this out of the blue!!
