Blood Machines on Shudder. It's an odd one, I think I liked it. Can't think of anything I didn't like, it's just weird. Spaceship crash lands on a planet, something weird about ships being living things, naked woman with a glowing upside down cross. It's hard to explain really. Looked great though, in a low budget made to look like an 80s film on purpose sort of way. The soundtrack is Carpenter Brut, it all started off with a Kickstarter campaign and a music video called Turbo Killer
(There are no Corvettes or Countaches in Blood Machines though, because it's in space)
Low budget 80's films -> synthcore -> low budget 80's looking film. The circle is complete. (There are no Corvettes or Countaches in Blood Machines though, because it's in space)
The King Of Staten Island

Scott has been a case of arrested development since his firefighter dad died. He spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of being a tattoo artist until events force him to grapple with his grief and take his first steps forward in life.
Enjoyable comedy/drama

Little Fires Everywhere - Definitely one I’d have missed if it wasn’t for Mrs T wanting to see it. First episode makes you think it’s poor woman vs rich woman sort of thing but it progresses into much more. Written by a woman, focusing mainly on the female characters, it’s probably aimed at women too but once I got past the first one or two it got me hooked.
I've just seen E2. It's hard to describe and make it sound good but so far it's just a nice thing to watch. I'm enjoying it and glad I started it!I really really didn't like it.
Mainly I think as all of the characters are awful people. There is no-one in it that is particularly likeable. Makes it very difficult to enjoy the program I thought.
Very difficult to describe too.

Late to the party but started man in the high castle last night. What an intersting premise. Looks promising?
I liked the premise of the first series. And I have played a lot of video games like Wolfenstein: The New Order (etc), and read a lot of fiction, that explored similar ideas. When I came to Series 2 of Man in the High Castle I sort of lost interest for some reason (not sure why) and I keep meaning to go back to it. Clockwork Cupcake said:

Great series and a lot of the special affects was made using a freeware software called Blender. I did spend time looking for modern stuff.

It is but rarely do aviation films have any level of accuracy about them. This one clearly had quite a lot of input from flight crews which redeemed it slightly. The only thing that annoyed me was him “declaring a 7500”, 7500 is a squawk not a declaration.
This was excellent. Edge of your seat stuff. Stuff of nightmares of course.
