    Is the second one gone now. Was there a few weeks ago.

    Yeah both gone now. I noticed they'd only removed one before but both gone now. Season 4 Episode 3 is also gone.

    Just finished the first ep myself, liked it a lot. It sets up it's main characters and basic premise very quickly and there's a good few laughs too.

    Is this young adult enjoyable or could a grown man in his mid thirties enjoy it?

    I only ask because the first time I saw it on the menu I skipped straight past immediately thinking it wasn't for me based on the title alone

    Really depends on your attitude to these kinds of things. The main characters are teen girls and they do deal with relationships and school a bit while doing their bounty hunting. It definitely leans more to a grown up audience, I think, without being like something you'd see on HBO. I've watched 4 now and I think the trailers were a pretty good indication of what it is.
    As I said, the first ep sets things up pretty quickly and it carries on in much the same style so you'd know fairly quickly if it wasn't for you.

    Edit: the trailers say it's from the same team as Orange is the New Black and Glow, if that sways you either way

    Between Two Ferns: The Movie
    Spoof chat show with Zach Gafiliakis interviewing some big name actors.
    I loved Zach G in Bored to Death but this was poor. Gave up halfway through.
    Probably the best bit was when he asks Matthew McConaughey 'Who do you think will accidentally starve to death first, you or Christian Bale?' :D
    Some excellent episodes on youtube, the outtakes are especially funny

    Update on Teenage Bounty Hunters, I finished it this afternoon. That's the quickest I've watched anything on Netflix, I think. It was exactly what I was hoping Warrior Nun would be, fun and silly but still decent story telling, bit of action and great characters. I'm desperately hoping for a 2nd season and am so annoyed that it's filmed in Georgia, one of the worst states for Covid management! Maybe S2 will be very obviously shot in Vancouver :D

    It's a whole lot better than I thought it would be.
    I am up to episode 5, the two leads are great fun...I love the little asides with them which are almost like telepathic sister communications ha.
    I gave up on warrior nun after 3/4 episodes.

    Comedy, Crime, Drama according to IMDB

    Definitely comedy, but there's some drama in there too. It's from some of the people behind Glow and Orange is the New Black. I never warmed to Glow but I suppose it would be similar-ish in style to that, maybe a bit sillier in some of the humour.

    I was reading some reviews if it and apparently Netflix embargoed reviews until launch day, which some reviewers think was a mistake because there was no hype for it, but since it's come out I've only seen very positive reviews.

    Yeah, they're great together, very natural and both are good at slipping from serious to comedy in a single scene. And their scenes with Bowser are great too.

    I feel like I've said this a million times about Warrior Nun, but.... it does get very good eventually but I completely understand why people give up on it because it takes a long time to take off.

    I might eventually go back to warrior nun....do they at least drop the voice over? It was seriously wrecking my head, as was the whole teen scammers gang portion of the story

    The voice over stays but I'm fairly sure it disappears for several episodes or is used very sparingly anyway. The gang and the boyfriend all disappear after episode 5, thankfully. Coincidentally that's when it starts to improve.

    Watched the first episode and the scenes with the fathers so upsetting that I've held off going back to it for a bit.

    Just finished Safe, struggled to finish it, wasn't the best. The stranger was alright. Went on a Ricky Gervais binge, watched Derek and the afterlife enjoyed both.

    Waiting on the latest season on Line of Duty. Any idea if House of cards will ever be updated or has it been scrapped?

    Can you get Line of Duty on Netflix?
