    Dunno if it's been mentioned but I gave Toast of London a go and it's really funny. I always thought the boss from IT crowd was one of the best characters and it's the same actor who plays the lead here and he's equally silly in this role, I think he also writes the show.

    Toast is great, I love his voice over sessions with Clem Fandango.

    Omg that's my favorite too!

    Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango.

    I dont even know why it's so funny it's just the way they keep bringing it back and his name is so ridiculous.

    Weird that it was on for 3 seasons and I never once caught even part of an episode. Tbh I think some of the best stuff on Netflix is the shows they pick up that have already ran but were overlooked. I find a lot of the Netflix originals really uninspired and like as if they were just written based on some millenial focus group.

    25 years on, and that T-Rex scene has yet to be beaten in 'monster action'.

    Not just the CGI (and animatronics) but the direction, setting, sound... everything. :)

    Watched it a few months ago myself. It still holds up extremely well. Still one of Spielberg's best, I reckon.

    Always liked the way that scene mirrored the slow tick tick sound of Quint's fishing rod as the line was getting drawn out.

    Documentary?
    Drama based on real story. Great acting and attention to factual detail.
    The Objective narrative does not alleviate the horrific nature of the crime. Truth is truth... but certainly it is not an easily rectifiable situation in India imo...until the old caste system and traditional attitudes towards women, esp in the uneducated and poverty stricken areas, is eliminated. May take centuries. Throwing money towards encouraging women to report sexual crimes, and increased police presence 'aint gonna solve it.

    Finished Bodyguard last night and found it very enjoyable except for the last episode, in the which the storyline went off a cliff.

    I'm fan of Richard Madden (and his many, many talents :D), but found his character rather whiney and annoying at times in the last episode.
    I think the after the murder of the Home Secretary, the last 3 episodes weren't nearly as good as the preceding 3...... I felt their relationship could have been expanded on a bit more. Madden and Hawes had great chemistry on screen, plot went a bit wayward following her departure

    Anyways, it was definitely enjoyable, just came to a bit of a silly conclusion.

    Nope, he doesn't write the script. But they're clearly trying to steer the narrative in a certain direction even it it means deceiving the general public. National Geographic used the same tactics a few years back with their starving polar bear in northern Canada BS. :rolleyes:

    Isn’t she just great. I’m also enjoying Pyke, played by the father from The Cry.

    Elisabeth Moss is excellent too.

    I wonder if Netflix will have seasons 1-3 of Lucifer as well as S4 - it'd be pretty silly not to have them, but now that Fox is owned by the Mousehouse I could see them being...unhelpful, let's say.

    The Burial of Kojo is an intriguing film from Ghana, for those in search of something unusual and interesting. It’s a pretty visually splendid film, full of clever framing and fetching dream-like images. The pacing is a touch uneven at times, and certain aspects don’t entirely work. But it pulls together surprisingly well at the end, with a conclusion that ties everything up in a satisfying, thoughtful and melancholic way. An accomplished debut film, and one that hopefully won’t get lost in the algorithms.

    Watched 'Highwaymen' last night. Enjoyed it for what it was. A bit of an ego rub for Costner, and Harrelson playing a slightly hobo-ish loveable rogue with a slight booze problem.

    (Surprise surprise)

    All in all,a good midweek 2 hour filler.

    I must say,it was beautifully filmed. Really great scenery.
