I enjoyed it, but the ending wasn't for me.


First 4 episodes were brilliant, but I though staying as a psychological thriller would have been better than all the 'magic'. But equally, I'm sure for others it was right up their street.

On the plus side - it's very unusual in tv/movies for a Villain to 'win' at the end, as 'he' wasn't even an anti-hero, but a total villain. So always an interesting way to end.
I was expecting a (now) very obvious 'Gone Girl' twist, not the supernatural stuff. I felt a bit cheated like it was only one step away from 'it was all a dream'.
Oh no.

Watched episodes one & two last night thought it was setting up a good premise as a psychological thriller. Just read the spoilers above. Not sure i'll carry on with it biggrin

Bloodline.

Enjoying it, but 3 episodes in, should I know what’s going on?
There's not too much going on.

It's odd in that it's well made and acted but not really gripping.

I started it a few years ago - one episode - and picked it up again recently. Finished the first series and into the second. Or is it the third? Don't know and might leave it for a few more years!
Some great actors and it has a good look about it but by the end I couldn't care less what happened to any of them

We actually liked that the ending wasn't just something like "she was an abusive wife", "Rob was locked in the basement" or "the main character's ex-husband killed Rob" or something like that. Having the supernatural aspect to it made us take sit up and take note that the ending would be something completely different.

One of the greatest bits of TV ever made. I'm sure half the things they did in the shows was just to see if they could get away with it.

Tribes of Europa was far better than I expected
Yeah. Really enjoyed it.
Up to E4 last night. As you say it's not too bad. More sex and nudity would be better.

Thanks for that, I'll put it on the backburner along with Ozark then smile

Luckily they didn't make a series of The Dig... biggrin

I love it, it's just joyfully, unapologetically juvenile.

If you haven’t seen Happy! I think it’ll be right up your street.

To whoever mentioned Ash vs Evil Dead - thank you.

Not sure how I missed this previously but it’s brilliant. Very funny and ridiculously gory. Just started s2.
Just started watching this based on recommendations from this thread. Wow. 4 episodes in and I can't remember the last time I laughed this much, it's so over the top it's glorious.

Wife isn't too impressed mind...

Coming 2 America

Well, if you enjoyed the first one, this is the same film, but not as good, so yeah. That.

Made You Look. Art fraud documentary. Interesting, but be prepared to have your sympathy glands severely overworked when you see how upset the De Soles couple, who paid $8.3 million for a 'Rothko', were about having been deceived.

Superstore.

Very funny, (subtle in places) tales of an American superstore and it's workers, each episode is only around 20 minutes long so it's ideal for dipping in and out of.

This has been on my list for a few weeks. Looking forward to it.

Not Netflix, sorry, but is anybody watching Your Honor on Sky Atlantic?

It looked so promising, but 4 episodes in, it’s oh so dull frown
