I’m enjoying Wu Assasins. It’s a bit silly and the acting is poor a lot of time, but it’s a lot of fun and the fight sequences are brilliant.

Acting was very poor, I just couldn't get into it.

Almost finished Shooter.

Really enjoyed it.

Hunter kier as I think has been mentioned already is worth a watch.

8 dodgy Glasgow / American accents out of a bottle of vodka.

Mindhunter S2 went up last week for those who enjoyed S1.

Watched Dave Chapelle - Sticks ad Stones last night to see what all the fuss on Twitter was about - very funny. Manages to cover just about every contentious subject in America (Cancel Culture, School Shootings, MJ, Abortion, LGBT, etc) whilst simultaneously offending just about everyone.

Only an hour but if you're a fan of Ricky Gervais / South Park / Frankie Boyle then definitely worth a watch.

It's the first of his routines I've watched and I enjoyed it. Hopefully going to look at more later today.

Watched ''Top Boy'' again over past few days. Evidently a 3rd season is due this year some time.

Would also add Killer Ratings to that list, compelling & brutal viewing

Thanks for this, almost at the end, really good

I fell asleep, he is very boring.

I enjoyed Dave Chapelle - Sticks and Stones. It's not the best stand up show out there, but I would say it's on par with Jim Jefferies - Bare.

Be warned the last episode hits like a sledgehammer

A bit of an old documentary about the millennium dome heist but “Real crime Diamond Geezers” is worth a watch.

fk me that’s an understatement. Started this, Killer Rating, this afternoon. Just finished it thanks for the recommendation.

It’s a must watch. fking hell. Not watched an hour of TV like that last one in a long time. Gripping.

I watched Killer Ratings, the wife is Brazilian so we were especially interested to see it. The core of the story is brilliant but it's stretched over too many episodes and we both thought it became boring. Would have made a good hour and a half special.

Started watching dark crystal last night, the first episode wasn't great, but after that it becomes bloody dark for puppets. Some of the scenery is utterly spectacular to watch.

Looking forward to this, loved the film.

I completely agree! I watched the first couple of episodes and then just become bored as it just wasn't moving anywhere.

I was the same, haven't gone back to it after watching the first couple of episodes, might give it another try though just to see how it ends now.

Agreed also, you couldn't even just have it on in the background with it being subtitled. Got bored of it, which is surprising given the context.

Likewise, I went through most of the 1st episode thinking to myself "WTF am I watching? “, but I got into it and enjoyed it for what it was and found myself quick to get through all 10 episodes. Thought it was really good

I think that's the case with an awful lot on Netflix - what could really be 3-4 hours gets stretched to 8. Making a Murderer 2 suffered from the same thing.

I haven't looked into Dark Crystal at all ubt some of the comments above make me weary.

I'm assuming it's not aimed at kids? My daughter is 11 and i'm gambling on watching it together but she has quite the imagination and don't want her up for days.
