I binged Season 2 of One Of Us Is Lying over the weekend. I really enjoyed Season 1 I have to say. It's silly but slick and thrilling enough to keep you interested. The second season is a bit dry by comparison. All the characters are already established and largely rehashing their season one arcs. The plot is a lot more transparent and overall it lacks the tension present in the original outing.

Cheers I had never heard of that before, books are amazing and would definitely need a few seasons of tv to do it justice

I saw the second one recently in the cinema it is very good, will definitely watch it again.

Best of Enemies starring Sam Rockwell was added today and is a very good movie.

True story about a KKK member and a civil rights activist that form a good friendship after a rocky start.

Watched Another Round tonight, a tremendous watch and great performances. Some very very funny scenes as well as some fairly brutal ones as things (inevitably) get out of hand. It's interesting seeing a film on this subject coming from a country and culture that, as far as I can tell, has a problem with alcohol baked into its culture that is even more pronounced than in the UK & Ireland. Well worth a watch.

Snap. Watched it last night, too. Really enjoyed it. Want to try The Hunt next. Mikkelsen seems to have a back catalogue of dark comedies.

I don't like much of M. Flanagan's work, but Midnight Mass was great IMO. Hope we get a Season 2...

Midnight Club was cancelled. Found it very much lacking to be honest.

I don't think there was ever scope for a Midnight Mass follow-up. It was fairly conclusive. Fantastic series.

I’m not seeing either Another Round OR Best of Enemies on mine.

Is it the 1990's again, or the 1890's given that he is just aping Ignatius Donnelly.

Why are people getting so pissy over that Ancient Apocalypse thing? I watched it, was alright, not brilliant or anything, but its entertainment. A kind of Indiana Jones-esque story vibe. That Guardian headline "So why is this on Netflix" is hilarious, sure why is 100% of everything on Netflix? Its entertainment.

Quick question someone might be able to help with.

I have a netflix account and was able to access it on my laptop. No problem.

Laptop broke, and now I have a new one. But when I put in my sign-in details, it's like I'm starting a new account. Starts asking me what plan I want plan I want and the price. And then when I click on one, it asks me for my bank details. I stopped there, as it seemed like I would be creating a new netflix acocunt, and then paying twice every month.

Am I missing something obvious?

Can you access your old account on another device? Any chance you used an old email address for it? I accidentally have two Mubi accounts with two different emails.

Thanks for that. No, I tried on my phone there. But same thing. It accepts my e-mail and password. It seems to indicate that I'm signed in (as in the corner there is an option button for me to "sign out". But then just goes to choosing my plan and making payment. I'll just call them.

I Hate Christmas seems to be an Italian remake of the Norwegian show, Home For Christmas. The trailer looks like it's scene for scene. Highly recommend the original one of anyone's looking for a nice Christmas watch. Two seasons of it available.

Loved home for Christmas as well!

Just finished Wednesday and found it quite good. I mean for an Addams Family spin off with Tim Burton on board, it didn't go too camp or ridiculous instead the lead character kept a good level of charisma going, and while definitely teenage aimed it had decent acting all round - I really liked the Sheriff character, and didn't recognise Christina Ricci in her wig.

Really good production value too.

Just checked...it is a remake...first episode hits pretty much all the same beats as home for Christmas...but it is still enjoyable tbh!

The lead actress from Home For Christmas is in a Christmas film arriving next week. Her dad from it is in it too, I think. Looks like a Love Actually style thing where a bunch of different people are snowed in at an airport at Christmas.

Oh yeah I saw the trailer for that a storm for Christmas looks a bit love actually, I thought it was a film too but looks to be a series.

Oh yes, I see now it says limited series.

Was Emily the Criminal only released in the US today? I don't see any mention of it getting a UK release beyond the monthly "what's coming to Netflix" post a few weeks back.
