For those interested, the second season of Salvation is up on Netflix

Is that the Elon Musk type guy trying to save the world from a meteor?

That's the one

I watched Only the Brave last night on the back of this. I say watched, I had to fast forward about 40 minutes of turgid crap in the middle, but dear god it was awful.

Obviously not knocking the guys/true story, but the film... dear me.

Agree, it was crap.

And I found it hard to see how scratching small lines in the dirt and chopping down the odd tree stops a massive fire.

And I questioned the sanity of getting yourself in front of said behemoth, setting more fire to stuff around you and then expecting not to get roasted alive in your personal protection bag?

A film I couldn't relate to at all, we don't get many forest fires round here though

Car Masters - Rust to Riches

Dunno if it's any good, but it's got Constance Nunes in:

Season one is much better than two.

MUCH better.

Ep4 of salvation S1 now. Seems pretty good so far but hope it doesn't descend into garbage.

Glitch - The dead start coming to life, good as new, in a small Aussie town. Only six episodes but halfway through and it's pretty good.

It's a brilliant show, season 2 is even better.

Tried Maniac again, watched some episodes, still rubbish, so pretentious, so forgettable crap.

Watched Elite over the weekend

Really enjoyed it although the dubbing was awful so switched to the original Spanish with subs

[AJB88]

Finally finished El Chapo.

I tried to watch it straight after Narcos, after one episode decided didn't really like it due to being dubbed over in English and gave it a miss. I picked it up about 6 months later and watched it in English. I got to series 2 episode 1 and then realised you could switch languages, best thing I did, enjoyed it a lot more in Spanish with subtitles.

Really enjoyed the 3 series.

2 or 3 episodes in now, feels very Gilliam to me, Brazil in particular. This is a good thing

Brazil is exactly what it reminds me of, and definitely a good thing. Two episodes in and loving it, but had to check the thread to make sure it wasn't going to be a waste of time.

Maniac is dull. Is it me or is it that the more cash they throw at these ‘internally developed’ “box sets” the more mediocre they become ?

[iwantagta]

Operation Finale.
Tense. A bit like Argo i suppose.
Argies really were assholes around the Nazi's.
(Like the Catholic church)

Different strokes for different folks. Personally thought it was fantastic but can see its not for everyone. Slow burn but ultimately rewarding, like a good book. Its a film/tv geek kind of heaven, reminiscent of donnie darko, twin peaks, black mirror, gilliam, neil gaiman and wes anderson even. If those aren’t on your radar it will be a miss.


Watched series one of norsemen. Watchable but not great. Thought it was a uk production with irish/welsh actors putting on the accents at first. Very british style comedy from the norwegians, although the pacing could be better the ingredients are there.

I've just finished series 2. I think 1 is better. Don't want to say too much. Like how the ... gets into the ... and then that makes everything ... so I'll just leave it there.

Brutally, shocking.

Cloud Atlas

Gave up after 2 hours of nonsense.

[ashleyman]

Unforgettable.

Been watching the first season and it's decent.
