Very harsh... I love his wipe stuff (and Cunk).

I loved pretty much all the episodes.. but these are worth dabbling with as for me I found them remarkably poignant and worryingly close to reality (close enough that you could see it happening without being a million miles away from where we are now).

Series 3 Ep 1
Series 3 Ep 3
Series 3 Ep 5 (although this gets low IMDb mark)
Series 3 Ep 6

Series 4 Ep 2

Series 3 Ep 5 I like because, rather than it being a possible future state (and it could be), it’s also a metaphor for reality today. That’s not to sound pretentious 😂 don’t won’t to give any spoilers though (hence talking in riddles)!

Maybe I assumed it was to be killed before being "Camewonged", as if they weren't aware of the event.

And how did he not have to resign for Bestiality, with bod without necrophilia tossed in? Especially after the waistcoat hooliganism!

Am I right in thinking that Netflix has more 4k\uhd content than Amazon and better stuff? I prefer Arthouse (for want of a better word) to mainstream, especially US drivel.

Any of you using SkyQ to access Netflix.

Haven’t been able to open the app all weekend.
Can’t recall last time I tried anything (must be within last 7 days I’d guess).

Can’t find anything on google.

I see that Narcos Mexico is on Netflix now. Not started yet - anyone seen it?

Looks like its about the Guadalajara cartel, so plenty of scope for more seasons yet.

Anybody watched the Fyre Festival documentary.

It’s a staggering story. Fascinating and unbelievable in equal measure. Says a lot about our glorious society.

Yep, the documentary (should be pointed out, the Netflix one is made by some of the people involved in said festival). But it really is spectacular.

It doesn’t appear that he was purposely setting out to rip people off... but I haven’t got to the end yet.

There is a second, less biased (allegedly), documentary which is supposed to be better.

Howl is a no nonsense werewolf movie doing the rounds on Amazon Prime

It's Dog Soldiers on a train with Sean Pertwee again 😀

One reviewer called it the companion movie to Dog Soldiers

Not as wondrous as DS but still a blast

8/10

'delays due to werewolves on the line'

Finished (got up to date) with The Good Place a good little series. I think with the third series its starting to be less enjoyable and effectively they are now just repeating storylines So a 4th may be a step too far. But definitely worth a watch if you just want a lighthearted comedic stroll.

Started Dirty John. Only two episodes in, so far so good. About a wealthy middle aged woman with a string of husbands behind her, getting involved with a manipulative psycho. Loosely based on a true story.

Ozark has my attention at the moment. Plot not a million miles away from Breaking bad. Peter Mullen turning up as a redneck took a double take!

the Steven Avery documentary is worth a watch (Making of a murderer?).

The Sinner (season 2)... worth a watch. Better than S1 for me. Entirely new story and characters (apart from the main cop) - still relies on him wanting to solve an open and shut case

I'll give it a bash over the weekend. I liked S1, but 2 seemed too samey re a Cop after the truth rather than someone who could be convicted...

re Dear John: I watched the first few and the similar Seduced (film\movie) was far better as I doubt there is the mileage\minutage in the story for a series, but I think there is a Dear John movie on Netflix? (My big issue with the first few Episodes was the daughter saying he was a bad'un etc, not to mention the overdone nurse thing)

Sex Education was surprisingly funny and engaging
