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

I tried Superstore, watched about 10 minutes and then had to stop to do something else. Once I got back to it, I couldn't be bothered.

In other Netflix news, we're finishing up Top of the Lake. It's not a gem, but it's edgy and unpredictable and has had us fixed on watching it. But absolutely everyone in it is damaged and/or obnoxious, and I'm not sure I care where it ends up. Weird choice for Elizabeth Moss. Maybe she was ordered to do it by the Scientology bigwigs as penance for some transgression?

Just made it to the Morgue episode of Ash Vs Evil Dead. From the comments on here and the context of the series I was expecting a bloodbath of epic proportions.

I was not expecting that.

Brilliant smile

I definitely haven’t seen anything close to that on tv.

Not on TV no. Films (Braindead and Bad Taste come to mind), and Video Games (remember Manhunt?) but definitely not on TV.

Was it ever broadcast or was it streaming only?

It improves drastically after the first series so you're in for a treat.

I'm about to start episode 5 of behind her eyes and I have to say I was surprised at those of you who

were blindsided by the supernatural element. I'd said from the first episode she was 'dream walking' as the camera angles seemed to suggest they were being watched by something. Between that and the fire thing it seemed to be heading that way from the start for me

Also enjoyed the art one mentioned above. How can you have a Pollock on your wall for ten years and not noticed the name is spelled wrongly. Brilliant. biggrin

There's a similar one on wine that's worth a watch, it's quite old so probably covered here already! I'll edit this post if I can remember the name of it...
