Just watched this. A rarity, a film badged as a zany comedy that turns out to actually be zany and actually funny.

Well observed gags relating to the politics and life styles of the 60s. Jerry Seinfeld nails all his lines with his trademark comedic facial expressions and enjoyed seeing others such as Christian Slater turn up. Hugh Grant continues to nail the comedy career.

A full Snap, Crackle and Pop rating from me.

Just watched the first episode of Life On Mars.

Really enjoyed it.

I did two weeks ago. Finished it on Saturday. Great two series.

Ashes to Ashes is just as good but 80s

I watched that a few years ago like a fool.

Gene Hunt has some of the best, but unusable today, quotes ever.

Well if they're still streaming them they must by definition be useable

You google them, pick the more outrageous ones, and use them at work tomorrow. Report back here after your chat with HR.

They still show “It ain’t Half Hot Mum” as well…you could try using some of the quotes from it too.

Good luck

Snowpiercer season 4 is being uncancelled and shown in America on AMC in July. Hopefully that means Netflix here soon after but there's no confirmation yet.

Potentially good news.

Found it odd that it was actually made and THEN binned.

Watched this, I found it very unfunny and a waste of an absolutely stacked cast. There were one or two laughs, a funny scene here and there but overall it just didn't land with me.

Enjoyed it. Some of the Americana escaped me but the Mad Men cameo was a nice touch.

Easy to miss, brilliant performance from Jeff Daniels.

It’s a bit succession ish but lots of lovely layers.

Enjoyed the first few episodes...but
..seemed like it ended quite suddenly.

A 2nd Season of Blood of Zeus is now available

May not be everyone's cup of tea but Greek Mythology was the only aspect of Latin (classics) at school that I enjoyed, so I have a pre-existing interest in the subject matter

It's by the people who made Castlevania, if that helps anyone

I really enjoyed S1 so am happy there is a S2

My thought exactly. I am a fan of Seinfeld but I though Unfrosted was terrible.

Brian and Charles, a quirky comedy that's right up my street - loved Charles the robot, he really cracked me up
