Holy Crap, watched Bone Tomahawk last night.

Not for the squeamish.

8/10

I thought the first series of Les Revenants was great, the second series was harder going, I lost interest in the C4 showing and finished it on Netflix. Haven't seen the original film or any of the remakes. So Glitch is good?

As a big fan of Les Revenants, decided to give The Glitch a try.

It doesn't feel as slow burning as Les Revs, a bit like the lite version, so I would say give it a whirl.

Just watched it in one go . Good stuff, yeah it's not as slow going as Les Revenants, better for it IMO.

Finished Luke Cage the other night too, started slow but got better as it went on. Good but I wouldn't rate it as highly as Daredevil or JJ.

New episode tomorrow though.

And it's completely badass. Shooter is going up and up in my estimation. Brutal stuff out on the hill.

I cannot believe I have only just found Jessica Jones. As a Marvel fan I am ashamed. Only on Episode 3 at the moment but loving it.

I've lost faith a little in Designated Survivor - Keifer has started to annoy me. Might pick it up again in the new year.

Dirk Gently - yes he's annoying but I'm enjoying this crazy show.

Also found a feel good film, one for 'most' of the family - The Fundamentals of Caring with Pau Rudd. It's a bit sloppy but some great sarcasm and great acting from all the cast make it very watchable.

Also watched this recently, a bit of a poor man's The Intouchables, but a nice story and as you say, some decent enough acting makes it an enjoyable watch for an afternoon.

Just finshed watching series 1 of Daredevil, which was quite good. I found Jessica Jones a little too 'angsty' for my tastes, am yet to completely finish series 1.

The Detectorists is good, quite low key and sweet...

Yes, this was great. Miles funnier than we expected it to be. Everyone in our house has a crush on Paul Rudd.

Designated Survivor has gone a bit ... meh. The Shooter is still good though.

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?

For The Love of Spock

Documentary about the live of Leonard Nimoy, directed by his Son. Fairly well balanced with some interesting behind the scenes stuff but somehow didn't quite grab me.

6/10

[hornetrider]

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

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'

Rake - if you like Californication you'll like this!

The latest shooter was absolutely superb. Really upped the game.

If you manage to avoid saying it at least once, then you're a better man than me.
