It's fantastic, far more hits than misses with the episodes. Have you watched any of them? The 3 from the latest series were weaker than others, for me, but episodes like USS Callister, San Junipero, Crocodile and Nosedive are definitely worth a watch. Some are absolutely brutal, I'll never forget Shut Up and Dance, for example.

I havent seen any of them yet but the trailer popped up on my home screen today.

Is each one a self contained episode?

You are in for a treat!!

San Junipero is one of the best 'standalone' TV shows I have seen.

Definitely worth watching.

Although it is technically standalone... it does fit better when you watch it in the context of all the other Black a Mirror episodes. Cant say much with spoiling.

I thought it was pretty rubbish so many better ones, but they are very hit a miss, a scatter gun approach to episodes.

Run

I actually really enjoyed this. It's not going to win awards and you know what it's about the moment you see it stars Sarah Paulson, but it's tense and claustrophobic. Plus it's only 90 mins long as well

Definitely worth a go, more so if you're a fan of American Horror/Ratchet.

Rocketman

About Elton John

Not too bad.

Not a liker of the guy at all but not a bad film.

Had a st childhood by all accounts

Binging Community right now. Started off slow but its not that bad

Absolutely my favourite comedy of recent years. There's a lot of stuff in the background which is easy to miss as well as the obvious humour in the dialogue.

Just started on this and loving it, thanks for the tip

No spoilers don't forget

Thanks for the heads up on Spotless, enjoyed it.

Had a Braquo vibe with the French connection, and the amount of smoking

I tried the first series and found it totally underwhelming, certainly not convinced any later episodes are worth a visit.

Shadow and Bone is good. Really good. Roll on season 2 if they make it.

I've just watched that. I thought the acting was very good.

Watching Happy at the moment and that seems good.

Nathan for you - Netflix

8.9 on IMDb

Just starting the second episode, interesting so far and a bit different, anyone seen it?

What do you think of Black Mirror as the trailer for the latest season looks like it may be worth a watch.

It's a good idea to have us experience it as live action for the last year

A new series of the strangely addictive below deck is out!

It's awful but we love it, hugely addictive

It's all on Amazon, you can get 30 day free trial of Hayu which has them all and Below Deck Med which is just as good

We aren't far off the social rating system or the one where you have to pay credits to skip the adverts.

I had big hopes for this but just found it irritating for some reason. Turned it off after 15 minutes and watched Love and Monsters which I thought was great.

Watched a couple. So far seems a bit like like game of thrones, written by a jane austen fan. Also apparently employs a fair few out of work RSC actors

The Innocent

Queen of the south, very good (mexican/US drugs cartel drama)

Finished it last night. Can’t believe canal+ sold it to the esquire tv channel who then flopped and it died with its new ownership.
Definitely deserved a second series.

The pacing of it meant every hour of episode felt like watching 2 hours.
Really enjoyed it though.
