    Boiling Point (2021) - Philip Barantini’s single-take kitchen sink drama, starring Stephen Graham, is a real-time tour de force of heated tension. Burdened by personal problems, a testy head chef must keep his cool amid multiple crises during a hectic Christmastime service at his upscale restaurant .

    Nice! I had no idea that this was coming to Netflix so soon after it's initial release. Have only heard very good things about it.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭RandomViewer


    Dunno, when you see old shows from the 70s and 80s bad taste seemed to be the thing.

    I watched Boiling Point recently, it's pretty solid. Stephen Graham definitely holds the whole thing together. It's all a tad contrived (like many one-shot films) and the gimmick has been done before and better. But it's definitely an entertaining - if relentlessly grim, strangely - watch, and it's always nice to see Graham get substantial roles like it.

    i have seen old shows from the 70s and 80s, or, as I like to call them, shows I watched growing up. He was always creepy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,396 ✭✭✭The Raging Bile Duct


    Yeah, Saville always stood out. Even when all you wanted as a kid in the 80s was for Jim to fix it, he was still in a league of his own in the weird looking stakes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,173 ✭✭✭RandomViewer


    The most of them were creepy , Bob Monkhouse, Ted Rodgers, Les Dawson would all have had an air of sleaze about them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,318 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    they didn't have kids sitting on their knee every week. and they didnt dress as oddly as savile. anyway I think that is enough about the vile necrophile.

    On the last episode of (and I think this is the title) - the woman in the house across the street from the girl in the window.


    While its been enjoyable, I think it kinda falls between two stools, I know they're aiming for parody, but it drifts between Naked Gun levels of Silliness, and at times its almost a compelling Drama.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,396 ✭✭✭The Raging Bile Duct


    I couldn't make it past the first episode. I found it too tonally awkward.

    I wonder is it possible to watch Top Boy and not be walking around saying “Innit” every 5 mins for weeks after

    Boiling Point. Good film but the catering industry will wince at the realism.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭al87987


    Watched Boiling point last night myself and enjoyed it. Thought the one shot worked quite well. Glad I never had to work in a restaurant.

    Very interesting film all along, but I felt like the ending was a bit flat. He was under some pressure though. Very apt title for the film.

    A series about U2 written by the guy who wrote Bohemian Rhapsody? That sounds mindbogglingly awful.

    Finished the latest season of Top Boy. Have to say I really enjoyed it, started off slow (first 4 episodes) but the last 4 were really good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Honestly, I still think U2's early albums are legitimately great music, but I can't see how any adaptation doesn't veer headlong over a cliff, the moment it tries to tackle Bono's messiah complex and insistence he's a relevant force in world politics.

    Just saw that Archive 81 is cancelled. That's a pity, I thought the first season was a strong adaptation to visual media of a podcast that makes great use of its medium, and if the source material were followed the second season would've been some great body horror. Ah well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,550 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Some crackers on that.

    I can't recommend Stray highly enough...terrific

    Damn, that's a crying shame. Has been a solid series all round; nothing revolutionary but then at the same time, did it have scope for more seasons? Speaking as someone (very) slowly making their way through the series. I can't watch shows as fast as Netflix demands! lol
