Just started with GLOW. Anyone got through the series. Some funny bits but its quite laid back .im on episode 4 and it could have been stepped up a notch.

Yes.

Binged the whole lot, they are only 30 mins per episode.

Something completely different with some nice totty, wrestling !

I'm not sure if there can be a follow up series but if there is I'd watch it.

I'm currently binge watching this when time allows, very good so far. Plus Natascha McElhone , all she needs is a 'norn accent an access to a certain green D2 S8

I've been watching three fly on the wall documentaries about the police and jails in Las Vegas. They're only about 20 minutes each but I've found them very entertaining!

Las Vegas Jailhouse
Jail Las Vegas
Vegas Strip

[Wait Here Until Green Light Shows]

I watched Knock Knock yesterday.
A happily married man (Keanu Reeves) is left alone for the weekend while his wife and kids go to the beach. Two attractive girls knock on his door one rainy evening looking for the address of a party in the area. He invites them in, they end up 'getting it on' and they proceed to wreck his home and life.
Although it was a pretty bad film, you can't help but feel a tad sorry for the guy, because given the situation...you probably 'would' or at least be very hard to say no?

Then he goes mental in the sequel John Wick.

I haven't seen anyone mention Okja yet, but it's fantastic. I think as close to a live action Studio Ghibli film as I'm ever likely to see.

Watched it last night. Enjoyed it. Funnier than I was expecting it to be.

Watched it on these recommendations. The effects were good and the girl's acting excellent, the subject was promising too - the moral dilemma of feeding more and more population and their demand for meat.

But the execution was just terrible. Over-sentimental and over-judgemental with clumsy scripting by the teenage intern at PETA - no nuances, hackneyed plot devices and they didn't begin to examine the moral issues, instead resorting to lazy stereotyping - the 'prison' scene at the end was more like a propaganda film than entertainment.

Awful film.

Despite enjoying the film, I don't disagree with any of that!

last chance u a and 2 seasons

really good, engrossing and good quality, not even a fan of American football, but makes it look interesting.

Really makes a sport so passionate and engrossing something ive never found with football.

Shocking for me the use of the n word. The 2nd season how the adviser is at the games, seems a bit forced. the coach is great, i know a bit much but seems to work.
The southern drawl is hard to understand sometimes but adds to atmosphere of docu.

Just started the second series - not as engaging as the first, like you not a big fan of American football. If you've got Amazon prime All or Nothing is another good one

I really enjoyed Knock Knock, I mean it's pretty terrible, but good fun. Keanu certainly can't be accused of phoning his performance in either, he really swings for the fences! I thought the dark haired girl was excellent, turns out she's Mrs Eli Roth.
