Thought the Alienist was brilliant.

Onto season 2 this weekend.

Those that have mentioned Its a Sin on Channel 4 it's outstanding.

Best series I have watched in long time.

I'm still not over the emotional effect it had on me!

This is a brilliant so true! You have to watch 6 ads before it starts a programme + then if it freezes( which it does a million times) and you try and move it on a bit bang another 6 ads to watch.

Absolute torture. Quality of picture is also very poor on player. If you use say All 4 same quality as on TV but not rte.

And anyone who says it's free it's not we pay €160 a year in licence fees. That's the same as year of Netflix subscription.

I actually prefer to record programmes and replay if I can.

Yeah I gave up on RTE player years ago and just record stuff I want to watch. I still think RTE can be pretty good. The player is such a piece of crap though - I saw a graphic a couple of years ago showing where their money is spent - online services was one of the lowest below the RTE orchestra(s). I'm not sure if it's like that any more, surely they know they need to invest in online to remain relevant. They did invest in recent years but to me it looked more like UI changes and adding some additional content that you still can't really watch without tearing your hair our :pac:

I hope they figure it out and start streaming content properly because I'd hate to see them gone.

I actually think season 2 of the alienist is better than the first season.

I use the RTÉ player on my Samsung TV all the time and I can't say a bad word about it, to be honest.

I'd say there's less ads than All4 and no issues with the quality of streaming.

All4 just takes the píss with ads. I've had no issue on my android TV box with the rte player either, it, and tg4 are surprisingly good these days imo.

The banner in the main Netflix page keeps showing me previews for crap old TV shows.

I’m pretty sure that it used to show the latest movie releases.

I didn’t even know Ma Rainy and New of the World are on Netflix.

White House Farm season 1
Based on true events, a detective delves deeper into a seemingly straightforward case after a misunderstood woman is accused of murdering her family.

Will be interested in hearing reports back on this
I need a true crime doc for the mid term break

inforfun · 13-02-2021 08:56AM

White House Farm is ok.
There have been better but i didn't consider it a waste of time either.

Backstreet Moyes · 13-02-2021 09:21AM

Would strongly recommend unauthorized living, it started very good, hit a lull and finished brilliantly

It's a long watch as most episodes are 70 or 80 minutes long

km79 · 13-02-2021 10:56AM

White tiger was grand
A solid 7
Probably about half an hour too long tbh

It's not a doc. It's a drama. Was on ITV last year. Mark Addy and Stephen Graham are in it.

pixelburp · 13-02-2021 12:36PM

It's a weird prejudice on my part, but I'm always faintly amused to hear ITV still make dramas. Like the little station that keeps on keeping on. I had always assumed it had finally become 24 hour Ant & Dec hosted reality trash.

Heckler · 13-02-2021 01:56PM

For anyone like me who was dithering Parks and Rec is brilliant.

Sex Education is solid 10/10. Once you get invested in the characters the emotional arc is outstanding. Forget about the english/US odd setting. For me its easily the best series Netflix has produced.

Superstore is great background fluff. Was great to see Garrett in Parks. Kill the birds !

I enjoyed it .. I remember those events at the time

I watched Outside the Wire earlier.

A decent action movie but the two lead characters were all over the place. They even seemed to swap personalities a few times.

The vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. All of the conspiracy/ online know it alls really bothered me in it. Was very dragged out too

If you look further into the Cecil Hotel it isn't as creep and the deaths associated with it aren't that much of a mystery as the stories make it out to be.

They have a fondness for 60s,70s and 80s set dramas,suspect they have sheds full of old props and cars

They have enough channels anyway with ITV1-4 and ITV Encore and ITVBe. I'm not sure the latter two were necessary there is very little original content on any of them. Another nuisance I find with Sky is ITV aren't on EPG and it's a chore going to other channels way.

Anyway to take this back to Netflix I think I'm going to start the ITV Series Safe House. I had watched the first episode ages ago on TV it seemed interesting. Only S1 on there though not sure where season 2 is I'll have to look elsewhere

appledrop · 13-02-2021 11:05PM

Just watched Midnight Sky really enjoyed it, although I would have preferred a slightly better ending.

What’s the true story it’s based on?

The case of Jeremy Bamber, who was convicted of murdering both of his parents, his sister and her six-year-old twin sons at the family farmhouse in Essex in August 1985.

There is also a Doc called "White House Farm Murders: The New Evidence" which analyses the events of that fateful night, the subsequent investigation, and what was - and wasn't - presented at the trial of Bamber, asking whether someone else could have killed the family at White House Farm.

Thanks, I remember that case. I thought he did cause of an inheritance issue and he also really hated his parents.

Watched Contagion recently. I had been put off giving it a go it by a reviewer last March who said it would put the scares on people. I found it eerily true to our current pandemic. Would recommend it.

Curb Your Enthusiasm · 14-02-2021 10:03AM

News of the World is very good, Tom Hanks excellent in it along with the little girl alongside him.

Cecil Hotel series was worth a watch but yes it did seem quite dragged out across 4 episodes.

Operation Finale also well worth a watch.

pottokblue · 14-02-2021 10:24AM

Watched Devil at the Crossed Roads well impressed a documentary on Robert Johnson a member of the "27 club"

Anybody have any suggestions for romcom valentines movie??

Caranica · 14-02-2021 10:36AM

I've been watching Below Deck. "Reality" series based on the crew of luxury yacht. Perfect mindless fluff.
