Basically it was a pyramid scheme. One scammed person paid for the next one and so on. I wonder what he did for the initial scam though to build up the money to kick off the pyramid scheme.

Watched a couple of episodes of In from the Cold. Quite daft in places and not the best of dialogue but plenty of twists and turns. Not a fan of the flashbacks but still a decent premise. Inexplicably it's all set in Madrid but the city looks well.

... I assume you've twigged that it's a send-up of The Woman On The Yoke-type thrillers?

Supposedly all the Marvel/Netflix shows are leaving, presumably moving to Disney+

Yes I know 🤣 it’s still silly. And I’m sillier for watching it.

In the previous page some folk mentioned a film called The Hunt from 2020, I thought it was the film I'd seen but its not, The Hunt I seen was from 2012, a Danish film about a man who gets accused of being a paedophile. I actually recommend watching that one, brilliantly claustrophobic and you feel for the accused lead actor.

Has anyone watched season 15 of always sunny. Hoping to get to see it shortly. Hoping that it beats season 14 which was good but not as great as before.

Caquas · 12-02-2022 12:47pm

I enjoyed the first episode of Inventing Anna.

Glossy, sharply scripted, media-savvy, shifting from prison/courtroom to fancy hotel / restaurant. Exposes the huge inequality in America and the egotistism that drives NYC but somehow it remains escapist fantasy.

Expect lots of plot twists as we get closer to the truth about Anna.

Itssoeasy · 12-02-2022 1:39pm

while the story behind inventing Anna is fascinating and is high on the bullshit meter, it pales in comparison to the story around belle Gibson from Australia. Now that was some 24 carat gold bullshit and delusion.

I haven't watched it in a few years at this stage but I want to see the episode(s) where they go to Ireland. Anyone know if it's the finale of this newly added season or are Netflix further behind?

Wossack · 12-02-2022 10:01pm

Latest season is where they go to eye-err-land alright 🙂 I enjoyed it, but am a bit of a fanboy

Wossack · 12-02-2022 10:02pm

About half the season is set in Ireland by the way

joeguevara · 12-02-2022 10:29pm

It’s been contracted for another 3 seasons. Saw some clips of Colm Meaney in it. The lads a legend

i don’t know why but every time it was on tv I turned over as I thought it was some generic American comedy which wouldn’t be my thing. Remember about 4 or 5 years ago when I got Netflix I put it on by accident. Season 1 episode 1. And have never as shocked and surprised at how good something was.

Literally binged watched up to season 9 or 10. When Franck came on board it just went up about 50 notches. I think at this stage I’ve watched every episode about 20 times. Noticed I slight decline from about season 9 but still love it. Last season was rating each episode about a 7 but there was about 2 or 3 that were class especially the janitor one in black and white about the cherries.

Fanboy doesn’t even begin to cover it. Even watching documentaries on her ballet instructor that taught Mac that dance in the prison. One thing I find very strange is that Mac has kind of written himself into such a weak caricature and basically a simp for Denis. My favourite is the interactions with Franck and charlie.

it’s bizarre to think that the first episode aired the same night as the first episode of how I met your mother. I really like how because it’s so anarchic and non mainstream that they can tackle quite complex issues in such a comedic but intelligent way.

would loved to have bumped into Danny de Vito while they were in Dublin but would cringe at the thought of me saying ‘do you remember when you did this, or said that’ and him going ‘fcuck off will ya ya sap’😂😂😂

Gave up on during the first episode. Thought it was absolutely terrible.

The wife is watching Inventing Anna which means I'm seeing most of it as well. The sympathetic portrayal of the con artist is absolutely baffling.

Really recommend doc called "some kind of heaven"

Blurb below

Filmmaker Lance Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages -- a massive, self-contained retirement community located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this utopia lie a small group of Villages residents and one interloper who are unable to find happiness within the community's pre-packaged paradise

According to Colm Meaney, they were supposed to come to Ireland, but Covid... So they built Eye-er-land in LA instead.

The cast were definitely in Ireland for a small time because they tweeted a photo from the cliffs of Moher.

johnny_ultimate · 14-02-2022 1:25pm

Half the season is set in Ireland. It’s pretty weak alas. There are some baffling geography choices as well - there’s one scene (the McDonald’s one for anyone who has seen it) that looks like it was shot several thousand kilometres away without any attempt to even make it look like Ireland. I know it’s an easy complaint about something shot somewhere you know, but this one is really jarring 😂 There’s lots of cutaway shots in Ireland though.

The rest of the season is grand though. The monkey bartender episode is vintage Sunny.
