I've just watched the first episode of Sense8. Not really gripped me. Is it worth sticking with?
ermmm...
its a bit of an acquired taste... it has its moments, theres a cool bit in a later episode with a Porsche...
edit - watch Travellers and The OA before you watch Sense8 i would...

Sour Grapes - a documentary about wine fraud. Absolutely fascinating.
Thanks for this. I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed.If you liked this then look for a book called The Billionaires Vinegar. Its also about the fine wine world and fake wine but focuses on a period before Rudi Kurniawan came on the scene and the fine wine market was dominated by a German called Hardy Rodenstock who sold the supposed Thomas Jefferson bottles of Lafite.
Really good read.

Gantz:O popped up on the "recently added" yesterday; based on a manga series. Absolutely stunning. And very, very bizarre imagery. I was hooked. Son seemed to love it (he is hyper critical on shows), partner was also hooked.
I watched this last night! Strange, but fantastic to look at.DDg said:
Rake. Two (of four) seasons about a louche, gambling, shagging, drunk of an Aussie criminal lawyer. We all want to be like him!
I thought this was great, liked the OTT character Cal McGregor as well - very much along the lines of Californication i thought.I believe S5 is out in May

Binged the first four episodes of Riverdale last night. Based around the old Archie'e Digest comics from way back when, which I used to read when a kid. Though the comics were nothing like the show, which is dark to say the least with murder, teacher/pupil affairs, gangs etc... Will with it for the next few episodes to see how it pans out...

I've been watching that too - can't say I'm particularly hooked on it, but quite enjoying it and am sticking with it to see where it goesDavey S2 said:

Really interesting and I'm still amazed that Rudy was able to put so much on the market without anyone knowing and still cannot work out where it all came from. Not from his kitchen that's for sure.

Brain out trash TV, to the point where they literally pause and then say something like 'so you mean that such is actually such and such?' just to make doubly sure those at the back understand what is going on
On the back of the Taboo/grunt counter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5X3gLwvrRI) somebody should do a Sutherland dramatic pause/middle distance stare at wall counter as well.
It is terrible.
So there really is no excuse for why I've just binge watched 10 episodes
Only 12 to go and on a weekly basis too...

We watched a good film last night, A funny kind of love, about 5 couples discovering weird sexual fetishes. Its an Australian comedy, had us laughing out loud, especially the phone sex and the rape scenes!!!
Ah thought this sounded familiar; it's original title is The Little Death. I thought it was jolly good fun. Apparently I gave it 9/10!ukaskew said:
The Barkley Marathons - 9/10
Fantastic documentary about a very quirky and brutal 120 mile race in the US. Really not was I was expecting but great fun.
100% agree, I loved this and whilst I am into running, this was a good insight for people into the mental strength to achieve the near impossible.... Fantastic documentary about a very quirky and brutal 120 mile race in the US. Really not was I was expecting but great fun.
