BBC must have decided to bail on it after the first series in 2015 and Netflix have picked it up along the way.jimwinn wrote:2nd series coming soon Moist
I suppose it's a budget thing with Netflix originals
You may notice a lack of battle scenes in most of the episodes

Re: Netflix reviews
Hope it will be available to mortals too.
Loved the books and the series was quite good in a 'could have been worse' way. Wasn't overly sold on the actor bringing Uhtred to life.

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
2 excellent horror movies on Amazon Prime -
Train to Busan 9/10
Zombies on a train. Love Korean movies - actually bother with a p!ot and less explosions.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5700672/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Hell House LLC 7/10
Found footage documentary about a haunted house. Well done scares on a budget
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4267026/?ref_=rvi_tt
Also watched 1st episode of Victoria with the wife. Enjoyable royal romp 7/10

Bait is quite a tough watch but very worthwhile
The extreme violence and grim story line reminded me of Dead Man's Shoes

Directed by Dominic Brunt but this is nothing like Emmerdale

The Invitation has been on Netflix for a while now
Slow paced drama with an intense ending - a reunion of old friends with an unsettling undercurrent
I like films where you're not sure what's going on and what's going you happen in the end

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Infinity Chamber is a thoughtful anf gripping sci-fi tale
Another where you're not sure if it's reality or fantasy
Has a great deal of looping - I've read reviews complaining about the repetitive scenes.
As mentioned before, sci-fi seems to get a rough ride on IMDB
8/10
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3839880/?mo ... _=m_ft_dsk
Another looper currently on Netflix is Triangle
More of a horror flick where the main character is trying to get out of the loop
Loved this one too - 8/10

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Anybody vouch for these... probably going to go off the IMDB rating, in which case, can anyone argue a case for something instead of Dark?
Dark 8.7
Altered Carbon 8.5
Ozark 8.4
The Sinner 8.0
Manhunt: Unabomber 8.2
El Chapo 7.9

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Went for Unabomber in the end. 8.5 I’d say. Well worth a watch.
If you liked Mindhunter you’ll like this I reckon.
Part Mindhunter, part Cracker and a tiny hint of silence of the lambs.
Go through a bit of a roller coaster with the two main characters. Won’t say any more; not so much a spoiler but not wanting to influence feelings.

Watched over the weekend Money Heist, it is a Spanish Netflix original series.
I thought it was cleverly written and thoroughly enjoyable.

I'd forgotten how utterly brilliant Stalingrad is
Outstanding, moving stories of Russian and German soldiers and two women caught up in the stand off
Definitely up there with other great war movies - Downfall, Dunkirk and Saving Private Ryan
Showing now on Netflix

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Caught up on Better Call Saul discussed in the non-Netflix thread. Very good (I like it more than BB... but maybe I’m trying to justify the fact I was never part of the BB love in).
Anyway, 3 episodes in to Ozark. So far so good. Story seems good and some decent characters bubbling under. A tiny bit of annoyance at a few of the ridiculous events so far... but happy to ignore for now.

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Creep 2 is a rare example of a superior sequel
Not one for the family but fine adult viewing if you're into serial killer movies.
Unlike the original, this one has minimal murder and concentrates on the egotistical murderer and his interactions with his videographer.

Jim Jefferies (comedian) has 2 of his shows on Netflix currently, he is absolutely brutal and takes no prisoners.
I can see him being like Marmite; love or hate him-don’t watch with the kids!

I like him, have seen him live once (about ten year ago).
Are they stand up shows or I seem to think he made a series a couple of years back.

You can do them in any order... so Maybe skip to the latest series (where there are bigger budgets).
It does get a bit samey - but if you don’t like it after a couple more, then might as well skip it.

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
Was on ITV2 ages ago. Quite good, maybe deserved more hyping (ie not losing on ITV2) but for some reason wasn't. 2nd series stretches credibility a bit. Usual issue of having to stretch a succesful idea beyond the original concept/storyline.jimwinn wrote:Really enjoyed the 1st episode of The Frankenstein Chronicles on Netflix

Re: Netflix and Amazon reviews
I stopped looking for this in\after season 2 I think. A few stick out: Prime Minister having some form of sex with a dead pig, (who would have imagined that?) and the human robot thing in the loft as being very very good, and almost pilot's for proper and good films. However, there was a lot of pretentious, but more importantly vacuous tat that wasn't worth wading through. (Was the Reality X Factor kinda thing before Hunger Games? There was a similarity to my aged, fading memory, with an unnecessary whack of smart ass (shite) Brooker ass-wipe non-parody, which Black Mirror was better without, imho.)Zimmerman wrote: ↑07 Sep 2018, 15:06I think stick with it.jimwinn wrote: ↑17 Aug 2018, 06:25
