So I finished Firefly Lane last night. Was that last scene meant to be a cliffhanger?

Don't go looking into Capone, awful isn't a strong enough word.

Yep. Have t a clue why the Besties have fallen out.

Tom Hardy seems to play the same character all the time now, the mumbling is getting worse and I’m a fan.

Tribes of Europa. I like the European context but the concept is your fairly run of the mill dystopian word.
An easy watch but I'm happy it's only 6 episodes.

Watching it now, it’s a bit of fun, definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously

Hope it’s only 1 season though. I want to see how it ends instead of having to wait for a season 2 that I might not be bothered to watch

Ok, I’ve just finished episode 6

Maybe one more season might be ok....

It’s a bit gas

The Pelé documentary is superb, best thing I’ve seen on Netflix this year.

Thought the Maradona one of life in Naples was Better.

Would have liked to see more of the man outside playing for Brazil. His marriage, health, his USA playing etc

would not go that far,interesting given the topic but not as entralling as Maradona but then Pele was a more conventional character.You do get a sense of his ability from the clips and well worth a look.

The Nal · 26-02-2021 03:56PM

Thought both the Pele and Maradona docs were average. Pedestrian story telling really. They're fine.

The music in the Maradona documentary made it a 5/5.... not pedestrian in ANY WAY !!!

season 2

Pen Rua · 26-02-2021 05:33PM

I had heard before Season 1 is weak, and it doesn't find its feet till Season 2 and beyond. But that said, Season 1 is only 6 episodes and brings in the base characters.

It shows how poor Netflix has been so far this year then.

It was ok, didn't really learn anything that any football fan didn't already know. Not a patch on the Maradona one.

I actually didn’t sleep well at all the night I finished Behind her eyes, I just kept thinking about how horrible the whole thing was for the character of the doctor and the child.

I watched the second to last episode late one night. I found it very unsettling. I tossed and turned for hours. Even a week later, bits of it still come back to me as I try to process it. I think it's one of those you would need to watch a second time to really get it. I think it's probably littered with clues that you don't see the significance of the first time around.

Possibly the most overrated actor of modern times.

It’s good from day 1. Scene 1 is actually very funny
Maybe moreso in hindsight

Finished Tribes of Europa.

If nothing else it's the bit of positive cultural propaganda the EU has long been in need of.

I've read reviews about it and they're mixed. I think it's very watchable, likeable characters with interesting enough plots. Some reviewer called the general storyline mundane but I think it tells a good story. Sometimes it's very on the nose but has enough moments that take away from its earnestness

Poldark season 5
A British soldier returns to Cornwall from the American Revolutionary War and rebuilds his tattered estate, reopens his father's mine and finds love.

It goes from earnest to absolutely nuts from scene to scene which is why i think they purposely made it as a bit of a laugh/camp post apocalyptic show

If you approach it as a bit of fun, it’s very watchable, if you want it to be a realistic and serious interpretation of a post apocalyptic Europe you’ll hate it

Need a Username · 27-02-2021 11:22AM

Looking an action or adventure movie to watch this afternoon.

Loud and fun and not too serious. Smart or dumb doesn’t matter.

I spent must of last Saturday afternoon trying to decide.
