Really enjoyed season 1 of this even though the bad guys were kind of cartoonish villians. Looking forward to season 2 now. (Note, its in Flemish) Would recommend it though.

Watched White Boy Rick over the weekend - enjoyed it's nearly 2 hour run time. A little bit predictable in the end would still recommend it.

Would highly recommend the documentary 'White Boy' also on Netflix. its very good.

Regarding the film, I found they tried to cram too much into the 2 hours or so. Still a good watch though.

Two Swedish private investigators in LA. Keanu Reeves isn't one of the leads so I don't know how much he is in it. Peter Stormare is one of the titular "dicks" and another Swedish actor I've not seen before.

I had never heard of it until it cropped up on my netflix recommendations the other day. Looks funny enough going by the clip it played and I've always found Stormare a good actor.

I watched the first two episodes yesterday. I wasn't aware Reeves is in it at all; at least, he's not in those two episodes. I didn't think it was funny enough to stick with.

The Queens Gambit is watchable.. just a nice series. No craziness or wokeness.

Gloomtastic! · 10-11-2020 01:38PM

I've got to episode 7 of Swedish Dicks so far.

It's ok if you don't think about it too much. 20 mins an episode, you'll race through it.

Vivian Bang, who plays Peter Stormore's daughter, adds a touch of class to the whole proceedings. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her in future.

I have been re-watching The Office (U.K.) and it seems to have become even funnier in the new world of Trump!

I had no idea Peter Stormare was Swedish!!

Saw a clip and it looked silly but fun. Watched first 2 episodes. Really silly, and really fun.

2020 finally comes good!

Just finished the season finale (for the second run through). Absolutely edge-of-the-seat stuff.

Adrian Dunbar deserves recognition for the amazing range he shows as the season progresses. Shout out too to Anna Maxwell Martin who plays Hastings' nemesis, DCS Carmichael.

Oddly enough, I assume anything with a female or minority lead these days will have plenty of both and steer well clear.

Shows how that carry on backfires

It so well made and the 60's set design was so well done I thought ( brought me back to Mad Men) - Anya Taylor-Joy was brilliant !

Is Season 5 the latest one with Stephen Graham in it? Line of Duty is excellent.

If by great reviews you mean absolutely terrible, then sure.

Watched 15 mins of Aunty Donna's Big Ol House of Fun on netflix. One of the least funny things I have seen since in the last 20 years. Avoid like the plague.

Were you a fan of their YouTube videos? Was considering watching it, but maybe not now!

I never saw the youtube videos. I like surreal comedy i.e. mighty boosh, monty python but I found this just annoying.

It may have been the opening scene which was a song "everything is a drum". A cup is a drum, my bum is a drum, is my willy a drum?? That was so juvenile that it set the tone. Maybe if I watched one more but it would need to get some stellar reviews for me to go back.

Sounds like you might have gone straight into the deep end. I can see how it wouldn't be a lot of people's cup of tea.

Watched the first 3 episode of Swedish Dicks last night. I liked it. Its funny but not really any belly laugh moments yet. I like the premise and the mixture of the Swedish and English works well.
