    To clarify, it's only Manifest season 4 part 1 that's available. The other stations aren't there. They have all seasons in the States, where it did well ,which is why they funded season 4.

    Similar to what happened with Lucifer.

    Blockbuster...isn't great well the first two episodes....shame because there is a good cast and the odd funny line...it might pick up

    Saw My Father's Dragon in the cinema today. It's on Netflix from next Friday. Definitely worth watching once it's available. In some ways it skews a little younger than Cartoon Saloon's previous films, but there's some moments I'd say would scare anyone too young. There's some deeper themes running under the relatively simple story too. It sounded amazing too, so if you're into that I'd definitely reccomend trying to see it in the cinema this week. Otherwise definitely add it to the watchlist.

    Anyone watched Hellhole?

    I can’t quite form an opinion on it - it as a creepy atmosphere and looks great but the lead character’s reactions to events don’t make sense and the twists and turns that are supposed to shock are obvious from the very start.

    It feels like the middle film of a trilogy.

    Sounds like some of Netflix's more prominent creators are PO'ed with the service's intent to insert adverts into their material. If your work wasn't fashioned with natural ad-breaks during their runtime, then yeah, I can understand why some are angry.

    I thought it was fine but ultimately underwhelming. Unsurprisingly great cast and it's handsomely staged (the Irish landscapes looking suitably windswept), but the film is just a bit dour and one-note.

    Ah the 90s Crown Season. I think this is the season most people want to see. Cast looks very good.

    Probably holds the least interest for me. Up to now I've enjoyed some of the historical stuff I wasn't fully aware of like Aberfan and so on but Charles and Diana's marriage falling apart? Meh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,721 ✭✭✭jj880


    Was thinking more of how much they roast / dont roast king Charlo. There will be parts that are new to me even though Ive heard the Charles / Diana / Camilla story multiple times. A lot of actresses / actors in it I enjoy watching also.

    Had had a look this morning Staunton is a very ugly queen. Dominic West delicious as Charles everyone else is un remarkable. Debecki as Diana is just lacking something, her warmth maybe, I liked Princess Margaret & Peter Townsend, but cast so far not impressed . The monarchy needn't worry about it as its lacking something, depth maybe trying to get too much in , in a short space of time. No worries King Charles this too will pass, next hurdle the book by your room temperature IQ son !!

    I am 5 episodes into Cabinet of Curiosities. So far I found episodes 1 and 2 to be alright but nothing special, episode 3 excellent, episode 4 really good, and episode 5 an absolute chore (to the extent that I would strongly suggest skipping it - it's an hour you won't get back, and there's precious little to recommend about it aside from the production values).

    Based on comments I've seen, I'm not expecting any of the remaining episodes to reach the heights of either The Autopsy or The Outside, but it'd be nice to be proven wrong.

    Warrior Nun S2 also added. A fun little fantasy show set in and around an order of nuns who are sworn to protect an ancient halo, and fight demons. S1 came out summer of 2020, during the first lockdown. Bit slow to get going but worth sticking with.

    I watched the Lindsay Lohan Christmas film. The only way to judge these films is in comparison to each other. So this one is infinitely better than last year's A Castle For Christmas, but nowhere near as good as The Knight Before Christmas.

    It's good to see Lohan working again, and through Netflix's cheesy offerings is probably a clever way to make a comeback. No expectations, guaranteed audience. Good for her, I say. Although I may retract that when the next one, Irish Wish, comes out.

    Netflix will being doing there first live global stream next year.

    'Here’s another little gem from Cartoon Saloon, the Irish animation studio that brought us Wolfwalkers, full of colourful action and bizarre but believable characters.

There, he and a friendly but inept dragon, Boris (Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo), have to somehow save the land from sinking while evading wild animals led by Ian McShane’s silverback gorilla'

    This Charles Cullen is the same one that's in the Netflix film "The Good Nurse", starring Jessica Chastain (which was a decent watch).

    Watched August: Osage County last night.

    How did I miss that being added?

    Absolutely stunning film. Scenery and performances (from a star-studded cast) were top notch. The killer one-liners were hilarious also. Chris Cooper: magnificent performance.

    Watching Kleo. Watched 6 episodes so far.

    Great fun - best thing I've seen on Netflix in a long time.

    Looks great, good script and excellent acting.

    "Midsommar" is one of my favourite films of the past 5 years. Thought it was fantastic. Much better than "Hereditary" for me.
