Calm with Horses

Very gripping underworld crime film set in Ireland.

+1

It’s not exactly a laugh a minute. Turned it off after 20 minutes.

I stuck with it but wish I hadn't. Bleak or what. I do like those early 90s Celica GT Coupes though.

Ala Tyrannosaur? Which is a great film btw, but bleak doesn’t even come close.

Did people think it would be a comedy

Jumped on the band wagon for Queens Gambit and glad I did, superb series. No working my way through the latest series of Suburra which deserves more credit than it gets. As a Gomorrah fan I feel Suburra is a very close 2nd.

[Vipers]

The Sum of all Fears, Tom Clancy, excellent.

Ha! whilst I was watching it, I did think "Oirish Tyrannosaur." But Tyrannosaur was a far better film, imho.

We watched. "Game Night" last night, harmless, and amusing - and recommend for entertainment.

The Border

Spanish post WW3 series set in Madrid

very dark

Cheers! Enjoyed that. Celica sounded great at times

I quite enjoyed the score too. Grabbed a few moody tunes for my chillout Spotify Playlilst.

I've been waiting for Suburra to come back. I'll watch an episode or two tonight.

Ash Vs evil dead

Excessive blood and violence do it's great + Lucy lawless boobs

Took 1or 2 episodes to get into it but really enjoying it's stupidity

Show called Kingdom popped up on my Netflix yesterday .

Seems to be about an MMA fighter and the owner of the gym.

Good reviews on IMDB . Anyone seen it ? Worth watching ?

I watched it all although I nearly gave up. It had promise but didn't materialise in the way I expected. It was OK if you're stuck for things to watch but I'd not recommend it to be honest. All of the characters were fairly unlikable and not decent people. I really took a dislike to Lisa to the point that she became the new "Skyler from Breaking Bad" in that regard!

It gets a lot of love so don't take my word for it. There are many who are hailing it as their new favourite show. I just didn't really gel with it personally.

Thanks @toon and @keyser

Will add it to my ‘will only start if I can’t find anything else’ list .

+1 Great excessive fun and very tongue in cheek amusing. A strong recommendation.

Whilst it's nothing like The Boys, it is very similar to The Boys in terms of humour and blood, with a sprinkling of Cobra Kai self deprecating cheese thrown in. See also Preacher.

I think a while back someone posted a link that showed you every Netflix category, that then linked to Netflix to show more films.

I have changed computer and los the link, does anyone still have it, don't fancy searching 20+ pages.
I found this which is similar

Just to echo the praise for Queens Gambit, brilliant

Onto new Suburra now

[anonymous-user]

The Queen's Gambit really is a masterpiece of TV. Just a shame it finished and liked the 1950/60s look as well, like Mad Men.

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb

Absolutely loved it. What I wouldn't have given for a shovel and a few hours in that sand pit.

Yeah.
Very interesting.

They couldn’t dig anywhere without finding something.

Magnificent this was, and the joy that the findings gave them!

Queen’s Gambit.

A great series. The actress was mesmerising.

Agreed. She was great as Emma too.
