Just watched The Unforgivable with Sandra Bullock. This is a genuinely brilliant movie with fantastic acting throughout. Very much worth a watch.

Big shouts for The Unforgiveable on here. Must definately give that a go. I read up a bit about it, and got the impression that it was a really slow movie, so that was kinda offputting. I have a decent amount of patience, so will give it a spin.

Your Home, Made Perfect is top tier BBC home improvement viewing.

RE: Community, I had very little time for Season 1 when it first aired and found it a bit of a slog to get through. It was only when it later dipped its toes into the high concept episodes that I fully fell for it.

I was listening to a rewatch podcast for it and one of the hosts was saying that if she's ever recommending it, she recommends they start with S01E09 (Debate 109) which is a very good episode and definitely marks a turning point.
