I'm pretty sure it was a commercial flop at the time, with a variety of contributing factors. It really was a very slow word of mouth thing over the years that got it a much bigger audience, but even then it seems to still be under seen/rated. Hopefully it being widely available like this will bring it to a new audience.

I thought it was excellent.

Can't wait for a second season.

Archer Season 11 doesn't appear to be showing up in the Irish catalogue but it is on the UK one. Odd as previously the seasons have appeared at the same time as the UK.

It must be close to 20 years since I've seen The Iron Giant. Absolutely delighted it's found it's way onto a major streaming service.

I have no idea how this script was signed off. The cheap premise set it up to be a hard sell and just about every aspect of its production confirmed it. This is laughably bad.

Malice at the Palace another excellent documentary.

Shameless season 10 at last !

I see there's a documentary on Bob Ross. Was he a thing here in Ireland or is it something we've imported from our American cousins? The reason I ask is my dad was an artist and I watched my fair share of similar painting programmes growing up but never remember him.

S.M.B. · 30-08-2021 01:41PM

I don't remember coming across Bob Ross during my childhood. Don Conroy would have been the equivalent I guess. I only became aware of who Bob Ross was as an adult as I got more exposed to US pop culture.

There was a guy on TG4, Irish Paint Magic that's a Bob Ross Instructor. If you never watched Bob Ross before seeing him you would think he was one of a kind but then if you watch a few of Bob Ross's shows you realize he just a poor copycat.

he tried to even makes the whooshing noises and uses the same phrases.

I can't think of anything more pointless. The first film, was lightning in a bottle that's never going to be replicated.

CastorTroy · 31-08-2021 02:26PM

So a direct sequel to the original, ignoring the sequels and remakes. Seems the common way to do things now. Halloween, Candyman and think there were others. We must be due a Nightmare on Elm St sequel

Arguably already done with Wes Craven's New Nightmare?

Hi folks just a heads up for all those that watched the first 3 season's of "unforgotten " on netflix, season 4 starts on rte 1 at 10pm tonight.

"Someone has to die" (Alguien tiene que morir) on Netflix is a drama series depicting the persecution of gay men in Franco's Spain. In the series, the issue comes to the attention of Franco regime when the son of a politician is accused of homosexuality. Other themes in the series include patriarchy and the paranoia of the regime towards "Commies" and former Republicans, and how they had to keep their heads down and sometimes lie about their past in those times. Finished the series last night. Its good. Its in the Spanish language with subtitles.

Another good one is "Saints and Strangers", which is about the Pilgrim Fathers on whose story the U.S. feast of Thanksgiving is based. Its about their lives in Massachussetts and in particular their relations with the Natives.

Nice one. Have it set to record. I'll wait for a few episodes to start into it. I can't watch things one a week any more.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 31-08-2021 10:33PM

Not Netflix but I wasn't sure where else to put it, I watched the first 2 eps of Only Murders in the Building tonight and it seems pretty good. It's on Disney+ for some reason.

Could post in the Disney+ thread in the television forum. 😀 Actually, I think there was a thread.

Yep found it https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058193857/only-murders-in-the-building-hulu-steve-martin-martin-short

Haven't watched it yet, but it's a Hulu series so Star on Disney+ here. Hulu got 3 episodes today but we only got 2.

I know it's Hulu but so is Nine Perfect Strangers and it's on Prime. But anyway.... I'll take myself over to the dedicated thread, thanks.
