I watched a couple episodes of Hinterland but I couldn't get into it for some reason. I think it might of been down to it switching back and forth from Welsh to English. No doubt it's a true reflection of the area but I'd rather a show to full subtitles or English speaking.

Netflix version is all English. Least it was when I watched it on there a few months ago. There are 3 versions, a Welsh version and Welsh/English version (which I actually preferred), but the one I watched on Netflix was all English.

I liked it, but it's unrelentingly grim.

It's possible that I might of watched it on the BBC player, I might give it another go on Netflix

Yes, I enjoyed it. Couldn't get into any of the Marvel TV series on Netflix but felt the dialogue, style and cast set The Umbrella Academy apart from a standard comic book series.

Samurai Champloo is brilliant, think it's been on there before for a good while.

Kilboor · 31-07-2020 10:47AM

It's difficult to sit down and watch the Last Samurai, a slow build up type movie but I remember it being very entertaining.

The type of movie that's perfect for being shown on TV on a lazy day

I thought it was ok and might watch a couple more episodes but

it went very quickly from an unknown killer to Cattrin with very little lead up.I couldn’t Why it took so long For her to decide to kill Helen and it didn’t make sense that the murder needEd to be so elaborate?

Man Vs ManUre · 31-07-2020 07:01PM

I watched all 3 seasons of Dark over the past 2 weeks. Now it is terrific, and I could follow it for season 1 and 2. But season 3 was very difficult to be able to fully understand what was going on. Still it is genius tv, how did these writers come up with a story so complex, and production show it in such dramatic fashion with so little violence.
My only problem with it is I didn’t like the very last song used at end of episode 3. After such a great indie/alternative soundtrack I didn’t wanna hear that as the story concluded.

Fysh · 31-07-2020 10:09PM

Netflix have previously had Terror In Resonance but it's good to see it back, it's a great done-in-one-series narrative.

Deep Impact

Added

Great "leave your brain at the door" movie with rewatchability factor. Or at least it had years ago

It came out head to head with Armageddon and the latter won at the box office

Wiki

Deep Impact was released in the same summer as a similarly themed film, Armageddon, which fared better at the box office, while astronomers described Deep Impact as being more scientifically accurate.[4][5]

Both films were similarly received by critics, with Armageddon scoring 39% and Deep Impact scoring 45% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Deep Impact grossing over $349 million worldwide on an $80 million production budget.

Armageddon grossed a worldwide total of $553.7 million

Still though, $350 Mill at the box office in 1998 was great money

Charlie19 · 01-08-2020 10:10PM

I've just started watching Humans, it's originally a Channel 4 series about robotic home helps.

Only watched the 1st episode but it seems to be fairly interesting so far and it has a bit of Black Mirror vibe to it.

It's really excellent imo. Pity there isn't going to be a season 4.
The original swedish version it is based on is also really good.

I watched a romcom called the lovebirds tonight I wasn't expecting much at all but it was fun.
The two leads are excellent especially Issa Rae.

It's very good, and very normal - the chemistry between the two leads is excellent

Hercule Poirot · 01-08-2020 10:50PM

Was looking for something to watch between shows and discovered Timeless, ran for two seasons from 2016 to 2018 - currently halfway through Season 2 and really enjoying it

Basically a terrorist steals a time machine and our plucky leads have to follow him through time as he tries to change history. One thing I would say is don't get too bogged down in time travel related plot holes, just enjoy it for what it is.

You'll meet some of history's most famous people; Lincoln, JFK, Harry Houdini, Hedy Lamaar, Al Capone, Robert Johnson and a host of others

Hercule Poirot · 01-08-2020 10:52PM

I'd also add to the recommendations for Humans, great show, shame it's not continuing - I thought Gemma Chan in particular was excellent in it

DVDM93 · 01-08-2020 11:06PM

thank you to whoever recommended How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) - really enjoying it! Episodes are short & sweet too, it's ideal!

I think I am in love with Anna Lena Klenke

I recommended it about 18 months ago. Loved it. Second season, while enjoyable is annoying with the characters dubbed in a cockney accent. The first season I binged in 2 days, second season I am only 3 episodes in after 4 days.

Finished a day of fa cup, boxing and ufc and now watching American history x. Great day.
