    The Serpent. About a serial killer in Asia in the 70s. Great cinematography, fascinating story (based on real people and events) and only 8 episodes.

    Just watched The Wandering Earth last week. Decent movie and we enjoyed watching with the whole family.

    I watched The Afterlife of the Party last weekend, and it was actually kind of alright. Don't get me wrong, it's not groundbreaking cinema by any means, and there's a few cringeworthy moments, especially the weird pop singer guy, but.... once you get past the opening set up it was enjoyable enough fun and extremely heartfelt in places. If you just want to switch your brain off and be lightly entertained for a while, this is perfect.

    Didn’t take long to finish the first, and only, series of The Chair. The Chair is a term used for a US university shop stewart for professors. Not laugh out loud funny but the characters were quirky enough to keep you amused. Episodes are less than 30 minutes so you’ll fly through them.

    I'm on ep 3 of Clickbait and am watching mainly to see if it can get any worse. The acting especially from the sister and the muslim detective is atrocious. The wife is no better either. And the script jesus...I think I'll internet the rest just to know what happens. Interesting premise let down by a woeful cast and writing.


    Avoid.

    I stuck with it and whilst to agree with you to some extent, I'd recommend finishing it.

    I did not expect how it ended and thought it was fairly ok as a whole.



  • Posts: 695 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I finished clickbait tonight and would recommend.

    I thought it started really well but a few episodes in I was worried I had committed to something that was going to drag out and not be great but it finishes of with the last few episodes being really good.

    While there is the odd misstep here and there, I thought overall it was well executed and definitely worth the watch.

    Finished Sparta today. I never paricularly wanted to be a teacher, i really don't want to be one now. Great watch despite some clunkiness with the time jumps. Very grim, belongs possibly in the walter presents range on 4od



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,965 ✭✭✭mightyreds


    I watched clickbait till the end there is some good episodes "the reporter" and "the brother" are good, it starts well but by the end I was glad it was over, I didn't find the ending worth the wait and the sister never gets any better the whole way through.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,390 ✭✭✭Bowlardo

    Oh good, might take a punt on Kate tonight and see if it delivers, it's a promising setup and MEW is good whenever she's got anything to work with.
