The AO - Just finished the series. Quite thought provoking. I think it deserves its own thread on here to discuss in finer detail.

I've just finished it too. Not sure about the Thread. What's there to discus?

No spoilers please! Only half-way though!

Ok

Anyone who is interested it is actually - The OA.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4635282/

I binged that a couple of days ago. It really draws you in. But I felt severely short-changed by that ending.

And, as a wittertainean, I really had to work hard to stop saying 'hello'

Someone explain the ending to me please.

Anyone picked up Travellers yet? Ten minutes in to E01 and it's pretty intense. Not read any reviews...

Binged my way through it Fri-Sat, thought it was bloody good tbh. Really kicks it up a notch in the last episode!

I am on Ep4 and loving it so far, good characters and story

Ep5 is well worth sticking around for.

I would explain it as, sometimes you can get totally immersed in a story, and then sometimes you realise that it's just a story written by someone who doesn't quite know where to go with it. It started out well but about halfway through I started wondering where it was going, and the end was just laughable.

Not just me then.

Somehow missed Ep7 of Shooter, 8 is out as well. Just caught up with them both, still excellent.

Probably deserves a thread of its own - it's turned out to be a lot better than I expected.

It's really rather good isn't it. Very impressed. More good content from Netflix. They're becoming a force to be reckoned with.

I've started watching 'Nobel'. One of those Scandi-dramas. About a Norwegian SF soldier who gets tangled up with something in Afghanistan, the consequences of which follows him back home

Very good. Sophisticated. A bit like Borgen with guns. And the characterisation is excellent. The central character fits the bill perfectly.

Highly recommended.

Black Mirror.

Hits on some great points, visions of our future and problems in society now.

Episode 'White Bear' was particularly good IMO:

Particularly good one is the woman who wakes up in her house with no memory and goes through a day of survival in an apocalyptic landscape. Later, we find at the end of the day it is all orchestrated, she's a prisoner for the abduction and murder of a small girl, subject to this torture on a daily basis for people's entertainment.

Makes you think twice about the type of comment you might make on people who have commited serious crimes.

I started watching it recently; I'm currently up to se2ep5. As a whole the series is superb. It is a modern day Twilight Zone or Tales of the Unexpected.

Be warned, nearly every episode is seriously disturbing!

Dunno what you lot are on about

I watched this recently and found it quite thought provoking.

I know it was deliberately filmed to make you feel sorry for her and then you found out why and that was supposed to throw you. Were your conclusions that it was barbaric and horrible or that it was okay? My first instinct was that it was far too extreme to ever happen but then I thought of it being one of my kids and realised I would relish every moment of that

I think it was the lack of respite she'll ever get from the theme park cetnred around her torture for other people's entertainment. For sure give me the killer of my kid to do my business with, it's the packaging and selling as entertainment and the gratification gained from it as much as the torment that makes you question it.

She's drugged/has those headphone things stuck to her head each night though, so she never remembers the same thing happening the previous day, or any day.
