Watched "The trial of the Chicago 7 last night." Really enjoyable. There are parts where real footage of events is blended into the film. Always makes it that more real. 90% on RT as opposed to 2/5 by the Irish Times. I'd be definitely going with the RT rating.

Yeah I thought it was really good too

While factually true, the "from the creator of black mirror" seems a tad misleading. Doesn't bother me one bit as I'd much prefer what this appears to be as opposed to some covid-y episode of Black Mirror.

Great way to finish a trailer too. Certainly whetted my appetite.

Except this one is taking the piss.

Just ignore me, I'm an idiot. Had a quick glance at the trailer on my phone and thought, not another one of these things!

For anyone who is looking for something festive...home for Christmas is excellent (well the first series) I am only two episodes into the new one, even better imo

Yep. Watched them both. Loved S1 and S2 was just as good. Very festive and joyful.

Took me a good 5 minutes to try get to the bottom of what the hell the above is to then discover that it's not something I'll be checking out.

Hmmm. Doesn't really scream "must see TV"

Finally got around to watching the 2nd season of 60 days in. What a fantastic show. Amazing insight into the human psyche. I'm not quite certain that the concept of the show is as portrayed but how the people react to being incarcerated all follows a similar line. Highly recommended.

watched 3 episodes of The Ripper. The first 2 were good , concentrating on the victims and the hunt for the ripper. The 3rd episode went off on a tangent about why were so many men involved in the investigation and reporting of the case ?!?

Never seen a show go downhill so fast from 1 episode to the next

I think I just watched a film on Netflix called home for Christmas, was pretty good.

I'm at exactly the same point. At the end of episode 2 when I realised there were 2 left I actually said to my wife "I'm guessing there will be zero development in EP3, and then all wrapped up in last one"
The basic maybe seems to be spread over 3 episodes, with number 3 really being filler.
That said, I haven't watched the last one yet, so I could be proven wrong if the least episode follows on like EP3 rather than getting back to the real story.

Anyone see The Queens Gambit. Does it live up to the hype?

Yeah it's very good and it's not my genre usually and I've no interest in chess.

I think the last episode is more talking about the ripper himself. I thought all 4 parts were good. Nice to see the old footage of the crowd around when he was being escorted to and from the court.

Its on the list for the new year. My mate described it to me as a cross between rocky and chess.

Would anyone like to give 3 recommendations of both films and series to watch over the festive season.
(Just too lazy to read back)
Thanks

I watched the imitation game the other nice for the first time, having avoided it because it sounded and looked a bit boring. It's actually a great film IMO

I must be the odd one out. I found it incredibly boring.

I'll second a previous recommendation of Home For Christmas, a Norwegian series, very enjoyable.
Klaus is a really nice Christmas film too if you haven't already seen it.

fin12 · 24-12-2020 02:15AM

Anyone watching Country ever after? Would recommend for people who like reality shows.

Not much happening in it but it’s easy watching.

Watched this, it's an okay sci-fi movie. Keeps switching between George who is the last man on earth and a space crew (who I found hard to care about). George scenes were good, everything else predicable and contrived. Sweet Caroline scene was serious cringe.
