I started this and struggled getting past 1 episode - is it worth perservering? Does it pick up?

It took me at least a couple of episodes before it really clicked but I would say it is worth sticking with. If you're still not getting it by the 3rd or 4th, it probably isn't for you.

Having a catch up on Netflix at the moment - just finished watching Daredevil - very good indeed.

Now working my way through Once upon a Time and really enjoying it. Tis nice and dark with two storylines running concurrently. Robert Carlyle plays a truly despicable character and then there's the evil queen, oh my....

Finished The Shield today, what a ride, absolutely incredible. A near-match for the heart-racing tension and drama of Breaking Bad, but more watchable due to the mini-storylines that play out in a single episode being woven into a fabric that builds and develops the characters in an overarching plot. Just amazing stuff. Before we started it, my wife had dismissed it as something she wouldn't like, but she was hooked by the end of the pilot, and I'm glad to say it finished 7 series in just as strongly as it started.

Just started watching The Sheild, enjoying it so far.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is quite amusing in a light-hearted comedy cop show kind of way.

And just finished watching this in two days. Loved it.

A couple of Top Gear specials with Clarky and rat face which are bearable , in fact quite enjoyable

I was hoping to find some Top Gear USA on there...... but can't

This is a 2 part going from Venice to Po (sp) in a variety of vehicles , a bit less hysterical than normal and better for it

Top Gear USA ? I can't find any of that.

I had to watch through navi x on my Apple TV , but it's on the U.S. Netflix I think if you can change your DNS settings

Bored on nights so I thought i'd give a documentary a try.

Chef's Table. I think it's one of their own productions and as usual, excellent. Quite an enjoyable watch.

World War Z is on there now apparently

Although I seem to remember that it was st

Only thing that's annoying me is the captions not working on PS4 app..

I'm re-watching Orange Is The New Black, which is a Netflix original so should be fully supported. But the Spanish parts have no working captions, the option's there but nothing appears.

All this Mayhem

Great documentary about Aussie skateboarder brothers , don't google it or you'll find out how it ends, watch it as a drama, their lives were comprehensively videoed by mates over the years so it feels "real" ...cos it is !

"Hot Girls Wanted"

Thought I'd watch it thinking it might be mildly titillating it was actually quite sad

I watched half of it, then turned it off, depressed.

Yeah, it was as bad as the Louis Theroux docu about the US porn scene, particularly the actor who was 'gay for pay' since he clearly wasn't enjoying it at all.

I've almost finished watching the Netflix exclusive 'Bloodline' (one more episode to go so, no spoilers please!) and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a bit of a slow burner but all the cast are superb.

It is very character based and revolves around a dysfunctional family living in the Florida Keys whose lives are turned upside down when their older Brother Danny (played to perfection by Ben Mendelsohn) returns to the area.

Well worth a watch.

Seconded, i really enjoyed it.

I found The Long Way Down on there last night, the documentary that follows Ewan and Charlie on their motorcycle journey through Africa, enjoyed it just as much as i did the first time and there really is some stunning camera work.

Whiplash is on Canada region now, a great film, and even though it's about a kid trying to make it as a drummer, you don't need to be into drumming to enjoy it (in fact I imagine if you were into drumming you might not enjoy it so much)
