    Really enjoyed the new 4 episodes of Squid Games. The bridge episode was fantastic.

    Was wondering why Sweet Home was showing up on the front page for the past week. Turns out season 2 is out tomorrow.

    Obliterated might just be the worst thing I've seen on Netflix in a long time.

    I've watched one episode and It's so bad I'm not sure if I should give up or actually watch the whole thing just to see how much worse it can get.

    Not sure if it's meant to be a straight up comedy/drama/action or a serious action series or a satire of an action series however nothing is hitting anything it wants to.

    Whiplash was added recently and I'll be having some of that.



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


    Yes that was good. I enjoyed the gift box episode slightly more. Some great mind games.

    Loving squid games especially the tasks that were in the series though I think the contestants were given too much power

    when it came to eliminations and some good people got voted off though a lot of unpopular/two faced people got voted off too which

    was great to watch.

    I think maybe once or twice would have been enough and I don't think anyone one contestant should get to

    vote off three people.

    The bridge was fantastic to watch also, also glad there was no tug o war, would have been completely one sided with one team full of strong lads, really blew up in their face when the game turned out to be one of pot luck.

    The doc bad surgeon is a really decent story...but even at three episodes it felt a bit stretched out. Could have been covered in an hour long episodes I felt.

    Thanks for the recommendation on One Piece.

    I'd have totally skipped it from the trailer/synopsis but I'm three episodes in and really enjoying it. I have zero knowledge of the original material so I've no idea how true to it this is but the style and general slight wackiness is really enjoyable, the lead actor is great, looking forward to seeing it develop

    I see from a quick read that there's a ton of original material and it's been renewed for another season, hopefully it could grow into something really great

    Blue Eyed Samurai was recommended on the Tv on the Radio slot on Moncrieff yesterday. Watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching more this evening

    +1 from me. Really enjoyed it! My wife kept asking me.. why are you watching a cartoon!!! No Class!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,907 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I remember watching virgin river a few years ago and then stopped because it was getting too sappy and falling into the troupes it had previously stayed away from. Any honestly the three seasons I saw it felt like it was tearing the arse out of the story. Anyway I see it’s now gotten six seasons. The mind boggles.



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


    Yeah thought it was really good. Unexpected

    Northern Ireland

    accent in there also.

    I was transfixed by his dark ear hair. why wasn't this mentioned.

    Came here to mention this too . Good lord, he was some egotistical chancer . Truly playing with people's lives.

    I didn't like the ex fiance being the narrator tbh .

    On another note, watched Escaping The Twin Flames too . Once again it shows how people who are looking for something different, spiritually wise, can be sucked into a cult . Crazy .

    Finished watching the John Wayne Gracy Tapes documentary. Never knew anything about him at all until I started watching it. Very harrowing for all those involved. Anyone else seen it?

    I thought it was one of the better docs I've seen on him . Harrowing for all involved indeed . The sheer gall of him , having so many bodies under his house. He would never have stopped imo .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Mr.Wemmick


    I agree, thought the same about him never stopping. He was a great talker, quite fluent and affable. Funny how it’s those serial killers who have the most success in terms of getting away with it for such a long time. Scary stuff. All those poor kids. 😢

    Just finished watching it yesterday. Glad it's been renewed; seeing how it finished, looking forward to seeing how they change up the challenges for a new season (despite the inevitable near super-hero abilities at the end of this season).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,731 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Netflix have released a report with the shows with the most hours viewed for the first half of the year

    https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-a-netflix-engagement-report

    It's an excel file in that link.

    The Night Agent had the most hours watched.

    Of course it's a bit hard to judge the most popular unless they factor in episode count and length.

    Like 1000 people watching a 10 episode season will obviously have more hours than 1000 people watching an 8 episode season. But if the 10 episode season had 30 min episodes compared to 8 hour long episodes then the results will favour the 8 episode season, even if audience numbers varied like 1400 to 1000 people.

    Then movies would struggle to make the list. Extraction 2 is the only movie in the top 30.

    Andrew Scott is a great choice to play Ripley and he looks very brooding in the promo pic.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭Be right back


    There's a very good TV film about him on YouTube, called "to catch a killer". Worth a watch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,386 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Thank you, I'll look that up later tonight ☺️

    I’ve now moved on the The Confession Killer. Seriously, what the hell?! The American Rangers are/were a law on to themselves.

    This is the time of year I play catch up, especially with documentaries. And to think I knew nothing at all about these serial killers.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,386 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Enjoy! Although sounds wrong when it's in connection with serial killers and murders . In all fairness, Netflix is very good I think with the amount of true crime documentaries they have.

    Or had , haven't checked in months tbh .

    Didn't realise there was a talented Mr. Ripley series. I read the book and remember that there were a lot of differences in the film - can't remember them now of course. The series' often end up more faithful to the source material (for obvious reasons) so I'll be interested in this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Mr.Wemmick


    Yes I agree, Netflix documentaries are very good. The last ones I watched a couple of winters ago were Staircase and the Keepers, both brilliant. The Keepers especially as it’s an important one.. that must’ve won some awards, I’m sure.
