    English subtitles and I think English dubbing......I thought subtitles would bother me but in the last 12 months I've really started watching alot of tv from other countries and subtitles don't bother me at all anymore. Watch the first episode of trapped and you will be hooked. Great ending

    Trapped is great, Season 2 equally as good imo.

    Presume the lot will arrive on Netflix at some stage given they've actually commissioned the now forthcoming third season.

    It is good. Very tense.

    If you liked Good Time you might like this.

    I got a Lookahead email from Netflix that included a trailer for a Korean series coming soon called The Squid Game, which could be good - seems like it might have a similar feel to Alice In Borderland.

    My main question is whether it was filmed in English or dubbed. Hopefully if dubbed they'll have an original-audio-and-subtitles option.

    There's a German/Austrian 'remake' of The Bridge called Der Pass/Pagan Crossing, on Netflix; watched the first 2 episodes. Pretty good so far.



  • Registered Users Posts: 693 ✭✭✭danoriordan1402


    The Schumacher documentary is a great watch , especially if you were following FI in the last 90's , early 2000's like myself.



  • Registered Users Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    It's out tomorrow so will soon find out, but very likely filmed Korean with English subs.

    I see they added another He-Man series. Strange having the 2 animated MotU series close to each other like this



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 17,988 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    It'll be up to you - available both subbed and dubbed. When I saw the trailer, it was subbed.

    Totally agree both excellent.

    "Case" is also decent...but doesn't seem to be available anywhere currently.


    For fans of scandi drama/crime shows bbc4 have one at the minute called "the hunt for a killer" it might be too slow for some but I think it is genuinely brilliant.

    just finished Clickbait and I would say its worth a watch.Reasonably well thought out and a good story line ,kept us watching until the end .



  • Registered Users Posts: 591 ✭✭✭mike_cork


    The Scandinavian tv I find is really engrossing....Plus the bleak landscape and the music scores are usually incredibly beautiful.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,680 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    White lotus is a bloody brilliant series!! A modern Basil Faulty masterpiece and highly recommended



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭cdgalwegian

    ^ The Accident has a great cast but it was a hugely disappointing watch.

    Started 'Hit & Run' ... with same lead character from Fauda leading the cast. Again seems set in Israel. Just finished first episode and looks good so far.

    Disturbing and compelling, in equal parts. I feel guilty for enjoying it. Its very violent!

    (As others have said, original-audio-and-subtitles is available, that's how I'm watching it).



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 35,941 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Yikes; that reads like something that could swing towards either a sympathetic portrayal or something very exploitional, and voyeuristic.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 17,988 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    It just got cancelled and apparently ends on a cliffhanger. It may affect your interest..

    Did National Treasure go to a second season? Always thought it looked worth a watch but my biggest pet peeve with television at the moment is shows that could have been brilliant at 6 to 10 episode run getting extended into meandering multi-season bores.
