We’ve just finished watching The Rain. Enjoyed it. After I’d gotten over the dubbing. Predictable yes, but great soundtrack and potential for a second series.

Why didn't you watch it in the native Danish / (Swedish?) with subs?

Yes, very easily swapped over.

I fairness I also thought it, hard, in Danish.

[e30m3Mark]

Godless.

If you like a Western, you'll love this. I binged and was disappointed there was no second season….yet.

Started Rain last night - Danish thriller similar in premise to 28 Days Later - 2 teens join a group of survivors of a water-borne viral epidemic after spending years in an underground bunker.

2 episodes in and so far we've enjoyed it, I want to throttle Rasmus though....

I got to episode 5 last night (best episode I’ve seen so far) - can’t say I’m hooked, but will definitely watch the rest

also watching this.

getting better the start was pants in as much as being completely impossible to have happened as it did

Why would it be impossible? Not asking in an arsey way, just wondering! The whole thing is fairly preposterous to be fair but I sort of like it.

the motorway pileup and a short jog to the bunker. Very convenient

Just started this but been told to pause it while dinner is cooked for me Meanwhile Slasher was started last night without me after I went to bed and is four episodes in...

As for bunkers, as a child my MOD Dad used to say they were hidden everywhere, some in plain sight under manhole covers and at the base of monuments, etc

Your dad isn't wrong if you include the ROC posts (cold war communications posts)

Yep, there are a lot of nuclear bunkers dotted around. I believe there was at least one in every county. Here's my local one:

I know. I’ve known for over forty years. Taken a few dates to Kelvedon Hatch too

Looks like those girls have been down there a looooong time...

(Anyone else getting Red Dwarf where they meet Kryten for the first time? "Everyone who is alive, put your hand up")

Just started watching "SAFE". Pretty good so far and surprised that Michael C. Hall is just about pulling off an English accent. I think this has legs.

After the first two episodes it's coming across as something between a black comedy and a satire on the 'my child's been kidnapped' genre. Will probably watch another episode though.

[redandwhite]

Browsing this thread for ideas, I didn't see it mentioned but settled on 3%. Turned it off after 20mins ...

Stayed overnight there a couple of times with the Scout group I was involved with. Fascinating, spooky and weird at times. Had the full run of the place.

Not my cup of tea and auto run that Netflix uses is very annoying.

Started “The Rain” tonight, what rubbish. The premise looked good, delivery is dire though. So much stupidity in the first 15 minutes, I agree with the reviews on IMDB :smile:

[chris watton]

I haven't watched The Rain, but my wife and stop son have, and they said it was nothing special.

The worst series I have seen, and was very much looking forward to this, is The Mist. One of the most inept productions (in almost every way) I have seen on Netflix.

The Mist was indeed pants. My vote for worst Netflix original has to be The OA.
