    Ugh, why? The 2020 one was terrible. I assume even Brooker thought so given that he's not involved in this.

    Just spent a great three hours or so watching Colin in Black and White. A black football quarterback brilliantly tells his life story and the insidious racism he faced. 9/10

    Just watched '71, a film set in Belfast during the Troubles.

    Highly entertaining. Had never before heard of it which surprised me. Would absolutely recommend.

    I would definitely second this. Very gripping film.

    The Day will Come - Danish drama set in the 60's at an orphanage. This could of easily been filmed in Ireland with priests and nun's instead, at least we weren't alone as a country doing horrible things to children decades ago. Its about 2 young bothers sent to live in an orphanage run by sadistic teachers and a brutal headmaster doing things 'for the good of the boys'. Its harrowing to say the least, and well worth a watch if you can stomach it.

    Haven’t seen it yet but after seeing your post I saw the reaction of people in Japan

    really liked the comment “Netflix is where productions go to die” - no truer words



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭Need a Username


    I’m on season 2 of Dragon Prince

    Fantastic story, greater adventure and great characters just like The Last Airbender - and just like The Last Airbender a woefully bad sense of humour. Fart jokes are not funny.

    I suppose they're looking at the analytics of everything, if a show isn't quite doing the numbers they'll just move onto the next one.

    Click and collect is well worth a Cmas watch

    Only 50 minutes long so it was ideal for a Sunday morning watch in bed :@



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,039 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    That Unforgivable with Sandra Bullock is excellent. She really can act.



  • Posts: 777 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Watched it over the weekend. Didn't think it was great at all. Cumberbatch played his character very well but apart from the last 5 minutes nothing really interesting happened.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,525 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I know it has been out a while but I have to say really enjoying the Swedish show love and anarchy. Very fun light watch.

    I watched that a few months ago and enjoyed it too. I believe a second series is coming at some point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,591 ✭✭✭Gloomtastic!


    Agreed. With the added bonus of the re-emergence of John Boy! Where has he been?

    Watched it last night. Very good film. It kind of reminded me of Mystic River. Highly recommend it.

    Freaks. Only watched because it has Bruce Dern. Went into it without reading the synopsis and I am glad I did. the synopsis doesn't do it justice.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    I thought it was really good. Its based on a itv drama from 2009 never seen it so maybe its worth a look.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,955 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Ye i seen that but i personally think its below usual Oscar standard



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,039 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    I just watched a short vid on YouTube about were she goes and visits the old home, it's near identical to the movie. It stars Suranne Jones as Ruth Slater.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,036 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    It's abysmal, her face is so stretched. You need the odd line in your face to act.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭BruteStock


    Im interested to know what sort of insidious racism did he endure?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,591 ✭✭✭Gloomtastic!


    How about watching the program and finding out? 🤯
