Unlocked - tight little terrorism/spy action flick (Noomi Rapace, Michael Douglas, Toni Collette, John Malkovitch) quite entertaining, though formulaic.
quite watchable and a 6.1 is about right. I did expect a bit more given the cast though. (obvs. they don't write the script!)MYOB said:
Currently working my way through the series. Was my favourite programme when originally aired but kept missing episodes. Nice to watch in the correct sequence without missing any.
I binge-watched quite a few seasons of Friends when I was working on an American ship. The yanks hated it, took the pish out of me for watching it, but I thought it was very good, hilarious even.Marniet said:
If you liked la Manta give The Frozen Dead a try. Another French serial killer with lots of twists and the French Pyrenees locations really are stunning.
Just finished La manta - enjoyed itOn ep 3 of the frozen dead - struggling a bit
using as an extra tool to learn french...........moving over very soon

I've enjoyed watching The Sinner, but there are at least a couple of big plot holes.
1. Bill Pullman's character notes that Cora hit him seven times when he plays the song to her, in exactly the same pattern as she stabbed Frankie. But the reason how or why she did this is never explained.
2. In the last episode, Cora's mother tells her she thought she and sister Phoebe had run away. But earlier in the series she had told the cops that Phoebe died when Cora went missing. Why would she say that? Phoebe was the one she cared about so why didn't she want to know what happened to her when Cora turns up on her own five years later? That bit doesn't really make any sense.
We've just binged this one and I left with the same questions, it filled a gap but it's unlikely to be a classic in years to come unless they manage to drag out a second series and tie everything together. 1.

To be fair, I wouldn't imagine the target audience for Friends were the young macho real hard men in your industry! thetapeworm said:

1. Cora hits Frankie several times when he accidentally kills Phoebe. It's the last thing she does before PJ(?) whacks her over the head and knocks her out. Years later she has a flashback, triggered by the song, and jumps on Frankie and hits him again in the same pattern - only this time she's holding a knife. Pullman triggers her with the song again and she reacts in the same fashion.
2. I can only think that the mother probably thinks Cora is responsible for Phoebe's death and doesn't want to know all the details, and doesn't want Cora to do time for it (despite her antipathy towards Cora), so she lets it lie.
I don't see a second series with Cora in it - apart from the plot hole, it's all been sewn up nicely, a rare thing in a single-series TV drama these days.
Started "Salvation" last night after recently finishing Unabomber and wanted something easier watching.
Didn't grab me, seemed far too derivative and reliant on its own plot devices. Binned it after the first episode and started Designated Survivor, hooked on it, if only Sutherland could speak up.

"The End of the F***ing World" - out this month on Netflix. Very dark, surreal, absurd but quite funny and it's shot/directed well 
i'm 3 episodes in!
Watching it now, just finished episode 1 and am now on 2, good thing is, each episode is 20 minutes so you can dip in and out really easily. i'm 3 episodes in!So far, I'm loving it.
