We sat down to watch this as a family and thought it was good. But the ending has to be one of the worst ever - WTF! :mad:

I concur.

I watched it last night, thought it was fine. Granted I watched it after coming back from a work thing, so had a couple of drinks. Didn't think anything was up with the ending though, can I ask what didn't you like about it?

Also, Michael J Fox said "Great Scott" which was amazing!

There wasn’t one!

Watched one episode of Schitts Creek, and that was enough for me.

Just didn't find it as funny as I was told it was, plus the son! Ever have a character act in a certain way that really put you off watching a TV show? Well, the son has done it for me.

I lasted half of one episode

I have to admit I was very close to turning it off early in 1st episode but I'm glad I stuck with it.

That was the remake of Picnic at Hanging Rock. Very enjoyable!

Watching a Belgian crime series, Undercover, based on true events. Worth a watch, have 2 episodes to go but so far so good. When you start watching it though Netflix dubs English over the original Flemish language. Would recommend putting on English sub-titles or you feel like you are watching Kung Pow

And then there is me. Dutch.

So there is French, Flemish dialect and Dutch spoken.

So i have the English subs on because there arent Dutch subs on netflix uk\ire which is fine for the parts that are in french and Flemish dialect but confusing as hell for the Dutch parts.
It is a challenge....

But at least it is realistic and not like in Baptiste where the bbc thought they could get away with Flemish people playing Dutch police officers.

I immediately found the dubbing on Undercover extremely grating so went with the English subtitles. Only one episode in but it was a good one episode.

Same here, but Undercover defaults to the dubbing and the voice over at the beginning had me thinking it was in English until the first characters have a discussion on screen.

Watched the Ted Bundy tapes. Nice neat production, I was happy it was four episodes long, I'm sure it would have been easy to make it into a 10 parter.

For someone that didnt know anything other than his name, wow, what a crazy story and a crazy guy. Hard to believe its real.
