Just seen narcos S2 is up

I think series 2 has been on there a while; I recall watching it around this time last year.

I noticed El Chapo this week and am tempted to give that a try.

I watched 'The Circle' the other day, really enjoyed it. Seems to potentially be not too far away when you look at what Google are doing...

Great cast too - Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, John Boyega.

i also watched it recently, with a little bit of anticipation as well after reading the book last year.The cast did bode well...

Thought it was total guff in the end. Black Mirror explores the same cautionary themes with much more visceral drama and shrewd points on the way technology is developing.

Currently watching "The Good Wife". The wife and I have almost finished season 3. We tried watching it when it was on TV, but lost interest. But we've been enjoying the spin-off "The Good Fight", so thought we'd give the original series another go.

"The Good Wife" is very good, if you like a light US legal drama with likeable lawyers (with personal problems galore), with a lot of case-breaking nonsense involving questionable detective work by private investigators.

Anyway, it's good filler until the next season of TWD comes along (on Now TV).

Sorry to say I agree, seemed to handle the themes very ham-fistedly.

Really pleased Sense8 is returning with a 2 hour special next year. I hope they use it wisely.

Just getting in to El Chapo and really enjoying it but just started ep3 and the wheels on the old S Class changed in between the turn in to a road and the guys making a getaway! So sloppy!

Just finished series 5 of orange is the new black. I wasn't a fan of S3 and S4. This series was less risque than previous series but I quite enjoyed it.

[jmorgan]

Well, finished the new Archer.

erm.

Meh.

[ICallCustard]

Yeah bit of a slog this series, shame as the others have been good.

[Brigand]

These Final Hours - Went into it thinking it might be something of a dark comedy, but found it was actually just quite dark. The end of the world is just hours away in Australia, and the story follows a bloke who's on his way to a massive party but gets sidetracked by a young girl. The film is more a look at how different people deal with their impending doom than anything else. 6/10.

Feels like they're running out of ideas, sadly.

Felt more like a stop gap. Like a download extra level for a game that was boring.

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.

The Castlevania anime is really good. Can't believe it's only 4 episodes for season 1 though.

Is El Chapo 100% Spanish? I'm not fluent but have the very basics. I stuck with Narcos as the story line was gripping but i enjoyed the breaks with the parts of the script in English.

It did improve my Spanish mind you!

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

99% of it is yes, think Narcos but without the DEA story. there was only a few scenes where English was spoken

Stick with it though its almost as good as Narcos

+1 Total rubbish just all over the place.

It's the first Tom Hanks film I can remember that wasn't worth watching.
