Spotlight.

Very good. The Keepers is worth a watch too.

I've started black mirror. Holy crap it's dark.

Also, Netflix has a bug im sure.

I watched the first series and naturally just keep playing the next. But instead of going to series 2 episode 1 it started series 4 episode 1. Infuriating

On the plus side though the USS Callister episode was surreal. I now think about poor Google home and Alexa and feel sorry for them!!

Whoah, White Bear is pretty heavy.

Callister and Bear definitely the product of the same mind.

Great uncompromising telly.

Tried "End of the F***ing world" last night.

Fantastic, I'm halfway through and plan to watch the rest this weekend.

The 2 main characters are played superbly.

This indeed - finished the series today after starting yesterday. Great cast (particularly the leads), very dark humour, and quite refreshing having sub 20 min episodes, very easy to watch. Recommended.

I watched this too, really good tv.

End of the world - just binged 4 on the bounce. Brilliant telly, well realised characters and dark and uncomfortable but also tender.

Was quite surprised to see it was a C4 production, did they not advertise it? Was expecting it to be American for some reason.

The first episode was on C4 before Christmas, with the rest of the series on All4. I watched the first one and wanted to watch the others. And yes the announcer did say the title in full

The sinner. Really enjoying this.

Anyone else watch this? thought it was fantastic, pretty dark at times but really well done.

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. There was an earlier discussion some pages back on this.

Here's hoping there will be a second series.

Sorry, missed that.

I started watching Master of None over the weekend. Very funny for anyone from the 20-35 generation who's spend any time dating in the last 5 years or so. Massively on point in quite a few situations, and fills a niche I didn't know actually existed!

Love it. Nashville is a good one.

No need to apologise! It's impossible to keep track of everything on these thread so it's fair game to repeat ourselves.

Yep. Binged it over Xmas. Great show. Very dark.


Finally got around to watching Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency over the weekend(first season). I'm hooked. Season 2 next.

Thanks to whoever recommended El Camino Christmas - nice little film.

Watching The Crown (mainly for my wife, not something I'd necessarily choose when there's so much else of Netflix), I enjoyed tolerated S1 a bit more than S2 which seems to be more of a soap opera than the previous series.

6 Days... the Iranian Embasy siege of 1980, and the SAS op to end it.

First hour gets 4/10. Last 30 mins gets 8.5/10.

[Bullett]

EoTFW - Finished it!
Slightly disappointed at the ending but wonderful overall.

Apparently the source book's "darker outlook was toned down", so lord knows what was left out.

I enjoyed it as well, all very nicely shot.
Shame about the Merc though!
