Just seen the first two episodes of Squid Game. Excellent am definitely hooked.

Has anyone seen Midnight Mass? I heard its highly recommended.

I've watched The Chestnut Man as well and would highly recommend it especially if you're a fan of scandi noir.

Probably a similar vibe to The Bridge, and while the lead actors may not be as charismatic, the plot is probably better and it's well paced.

I expect there will be a second series ... though not sure how they'll handle the title as it's so specific to this series.

OMG would absolutely never have chosen to watch Squid Games but decided to watch an episode to see what the hype was about. Just finished episode 2. Love it and hate it at the same time and think things are only about to hot up.

Adult Material is excellent imo, it was kind of poorly marketed by channel 4. Hayley Squires is sensational.

The S.M.B. of ~20 years ago would be knee deep in ultraviolent South Korean dystopian dramas, gritty slow burn murder mysteries and meditations on grief and faith within a horror series but alas my tastes have dramatically changed over the years.

Right now I'm half way through Maid where the stakes are at times no higher than a young woman trying to juggle the world of working , daycare and a feverish child. It's very good.

While the likes of Squid Game, The Chestnut Man and Midnight Mass may not be my cup of tea I do have to acknowledge that Netflix seem to be really nailing their "Originals" right now.

Their original movies continue to be mostly pants though.

Pressed ‘Play Something’ by mistake and Maid came on. It’s a Warner Bros/Netflix series about a newly single mom who has to clean to earn enough to keep in touch with her daughter.

5 episodes in, it’s compelling viewing.

Bad Sport Volume 1 - True crime and sports intersect in a docuseries that examines global controversies and scandals with firsthand accounts from those involved.

Love Is Blind: Brazil Season 1 (Brazilian Portuguese) - The dating experiment comes to Brazil as local singles look for true love and get engaged, all without meeting the other person face to face

Based on The New York Times bestselling book by Stephanie Perkins. Directed by Patrick Brice.

Baking Impossible: Season 1 – Top-tier bakers and engineers team up on missions to build delectable, incredible designs for a $100,000 prize and the title of world’s best “bakineers”. The first 6 episodes arrive at once.

The Five Juanas Season 1 (Spanish) - Five women with the same birthmark set out to unravel the truth about their pasts and discover a tragic web of lies spun by a powerful politician.

Liked Sun Dogs, Jennifer Morrison's directorial debut, buried deep in the indie section.

2 episodes into Midnight Mass

its engrossing ! Slow moving though

Was suprised to see Matt Saracen end up out on an island :@

Ill be starting on either Chestnut Man or Squid Games at weekend.

Are they both subbed ?

I have to agree with this. I watched the first 2 episodes with the dubbing on and it wasn't great, all the voices just seemed really poorly done, I commented to my wife that it was like an OTT Pokemon episode. It was very distracting and took you out of the story somewhat.

We turned on the original sound with subtitles for the rest and it was much better.

Into The Night. European thriller, mixed English and other languages (subs).

Just finished season 2. Bonkers plot where sunlight is a killer. Solution - watch to find out. It's a hoot full of thrills and spills and great characters.
